    I thought democrats were just playing politics with calling Trump a racist for criticizing the Gang of Four but apparently they actually do believe if you crtisize someone of color you are a racist. Kind of a political get out of jail free card for politicians of color don't you think?

    "Voters are closely divided over whether President Trump is a racist, but one-in-three Democrats think it’s racism any time a white politician criticizes a politician of color."

    Don't worry by 2042 the Hispanics will be the majority and we whites the minority,then the president, they have elected, can claim all whites are rapists and murderers exactly like Dirty Donald described immigrants from S.America.

    Rasmussen, Trump's favorite poll. Do they have an office in the White House yet?

    From your source, "The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 47% of all Likely U.S. Voters think Trump is a racist"

    Imagine that, according to Trump's favorite poll, 47% of American voters think our President is a racist.

    Did you mean your post to be in support of Trump? :rolleyes:

    It all depends on what the focus of the criticism actually is. If it is directed toward policies, or a public issue currently in contention, but not directed at the person him or her self directly, then it's simply a disagreement over that issue, not racism. But if it directs its attack directly on the person or persons themselves, & demeans them personally or supports devaluing them as people or their individual rights, then it's racist.

    And if you disagreed with Obama's policies you were a terrorist. I guess we're making progress. ;-)

    So, calling someone a Nazi, fascist, homophobe, White supremacist, etc, etc, then that is racist?

    I'm surprised that number isn't much higher. The DNC propagandists are loosing their grip. The DNC's default response to most any GOP legislation, is that the proposal is somehow discriminatory, or predicated on some sort of hatred. Knowing for certain that the default DNC response to criticism is "racism" no one's inclined to engage them at all. Not in political circles, not in social circles. Who needs the drama?

    Indeed; apparently no group is more easily mentally programmed than the political leftist of this nation. Consider the following; Bill and Hillary Clinton -- AND all their loyal supporters -- were labelled racist for daring to conduct a traditional political campaign against Barack Obama back in 2008. True, the second that Hillary finally conceded to Barack and then agreed to begin whoring for him those very same leftists having been encouraged by the MSM to call them racist forgot all about the couple's racism. Now that is OBEDIENCE to the propaganda masters of this nation; which would be the Mainstream Media working for the DNC.

    We saw it on nearly a daily basis that any meaningful criticism of Barack Obama was countered with at least the suggestion that the critic's criticism was based on racism rather than a legitimate point. Leftists so totally auto-played the Race Card in Barack's defense for eight straight years that they finally gutted the playing of the card of most of its actual meaning -- a real world example of what happens when an entire half of a nation endlessly and gratuitously SHRIEKS "Wolf!" in regards to everything under the sun.

    The only redeeming aspect of this is that ONLY one in three leftists think that any criticism of any minority for any reason whatsoever makes one either a racist or a bigot. It just goes to show that even the hysterics and programmable sheeple still occasionally require at least some convincing from the Left's political propaganda masters before they are willing to blindly gulp down the offered Kool-Aid. That's almost encouraging.

    I’m more than happy to recognise that there are lots of idiots out there (of all political leanings) but do you think they all really believe that or could it be that they were misdirected by poor and simplistic questioning, not really thinking through what they were being asked? Also, do you have access to the full results because I’m curious why they didn’t report on the number of Republicans who answers “yes” to that question.

    That 47% is a constant. Mitt Romney provided that "data" a decade ago. The DNC's non-taxable entitlements addicts represent 47% of "likely voters". Black GOP politicians are labeled "uncle Toms" by 47% of "likely voters". :roflol:

    No if one criticizes someone because of their color one is racist. Did you notice that Sanders or Warren were never told to go back?

    Don't really follow your reasoning here. I can make a personal attack on a white person but not a person of color? That just doesn't make sense to me. Regardless of that though Trump attacked the gang of four on politics not personality.

    In the 2018 vote Hispanic voted republican at a higher rate than Asians did. It is expected that it will surpass the 25% that voted for Trump in 2020.

    Yeah the number that actually believe that ridiculous assertion is relatively small but to me it's surprisingly large. Still though you are correct and the other two thirds of democrats know calling Trump a racist is pure politics.

    And the gang of four immediately labeled Pelosi a racist when she dared critisize them. This seems the go to defense of any politician of color now since Obama used it so successfully for eight years.

    I don't have access to the internals of the poll but I do find the following encouraging and it seems this constant barrage by the media of "Trump's racist tweet" isn't working.

    "Slightly more (49%) disagree and say his opponents are accusing him of racism only for political gain, up from 43% in the earlier survey."

    You don't find it interesting that such a large number thinks if you critisize a person of color you're a racists? So are you one of those people or a person of color?

    What I noticed is Trump criticized the self proclaimed "squad" that is currently running the democratic congress. Their color is irrelevant to all but race baiters.

    Proof that dumbacrats don't actually know what racism is
    If a white and black politician come up with the same policy and you criticize the white one but not the black one (just because of color) then THAT is what's racist
    These jabronies have no real meastage so race baiting is the only thing they have
    Quite pathetic!

    I'm not sure that's true at this point. What should be obvious to DNC voters, may not be as obvious as a reasonably objective person presumes. The DNC is appealing to younger voters who've never heard another DNC narrative. The DNC never comes clean and admits the accusations aren't always sincere. There have been several "social experiments" on liberal college students reactions to statements they believe were made by Trump. The students overwhelmingly identified the statements as being "racist" only to discover the statements were made by Obama. The DNC has managed to infect young liberals with a persecution complex.
