    I'm not saying that you are one of them, you're a very intelligent guy AFAIK, but that's what a lot of stupid idiots have been brainwashed into believing.

    Perhaps - if you are truly interested, you should just go to his home page and click 'vision'.

    Because you said so and it supports the narrative you promote.

    That's impressive....his handlers already supplied him with a vision??? What does it say about tearing down American statues? Burning buildings? Haven't heard a thing from the basement on that!

    The reason this video floats your boat is that you are racially focused. Race is a big part of your pursuit of virtue. The rest of us just go along, shake our heads and let you do your thing. We work together with folks of other color, strive to produce, teach Sunday School, work at our jobs and give not a thought to skin color. That is until you and your actions start burning stuff down! That is polarizing.

    Thank God that now there are enough minorities that are tired of it as well. We know for a fact this is not a racial thing. At best it is a culture thing. It is becoming more and more recognized as that. This video you post sends the message that, "if your skin is white, there is no hope for you. The best thing you can do is grovel and submit. You are less than human. There are people of different skin tones that find your attitude offensive because it implies different races need special attentions. As I said, you are part of a group where race is your identity so from that group it is safe to assume comes the racism that exists today.

    Trump is such a weirdo and that's all I'm going to say.

    President Trump on Sunday retweeted a video of one of his supporters yelling “White power!,” once again using the vast reach of his social media platforms to inflame racial divisions in a nation roiled by weeks of protests about police brutality against black people and demands for social justice reforms.

    The edited racist video shows a white man riding in a golf cart bearing “Trump 2020” and “America First” signs during what appears to be an angry clash over the president and race between white residents of a Florida retirement community. Mr. Trump deleted the tweet more than three hours after posting it.

    That was in the context of the time. As an example, if a black moved into a neighborhood, people would get frightened about prices falling and start selling their properties. The same thing was happening with business' in the south. If a black went into a restaurant, the owner was fearful he would lose his other customers, so he had to ask him to leave.

    From what I know, Donald Trump always got along with his workers no matter who they were. It's usually people who are looked down on by others, that are the most cruel and prejudicial towards blacks. It was the poor Irish that attacked the blacks in New York City during the Civil War, yet from what I read, the British had sent Irish as slaves to Martinique.

    Black slavers in America owned Irish slaves.

    It's true that Trump has always been well liked by his workers. He loves to pal around with them and give generous gifts for work well done.

    Have you observed black fragility?
    Do you believe the very un-racist view that all people are the same
    and when you see some behavior in a given race you can expect
    to see this in ALL races?

    FF's I have never even seen your name on this forum before and you believe you know me and can psycholanalysis me. Sorry if I say immidiately you are a person who stereotypes - which of course is a major strategy of racists.

    Teach Sunday school. That will be to tell the Israelis to kill and rule over the Palestinians and build an ethnic centric state.

    You do not know anything about it. Black people in your country have never been free. You have your life because of the toil of black people. They built New York. Racism in the US is systemic. While you have been building up your financial pile, they have had to work time and again and again for equal rights. Your denial of them speaks for itself. I do understand it though. You did not need to do the work. They did it for you. Your attitude is the same as your predecessors was in slavery. Black People do not matter. Only white people do.

    You are wrong. It is systemic in your Government, in both Parties. Your will not look at it because it would hurt too much to see the truth.

    Beyond pathetic....and you do not really think that. You know that you have been able to lynch people, keep them as slaves, whip them, castrate them rape them and on and on and of again and again and again and again you have them as slaves...in your jails.

    Frankly I would feel you probably deserve what you fear and I am guessing you fear it because you deserve it. However black leaders are far more intelligent and compassionate than you. While there is no question that the State will need to make reparations to them if this is to be sorted, that ought not to cost you unless you of course dress in hooded white.

    Yes you have made your position clear now and that is what you think of the black man and now I am remembering you.

    The video was dealing with white sensitivity to looking at racism. I did not call anyone racist. I simply provided a video which deals with the difficulties even progressive have in recognising their racism. For you, someone who sees people not like yourself as 'less than human' that is a far different thing. By removing from people their humanity you give yourself the right to act in an inhumane way. You sound exceedingly dangerous.


    Not me darling but clearly you.

    Anyone reading this please note. I said nothing. Just provided a video on racism for someone who was asking what it was. That is what resulted in this tirade of hate and abuse.

    You just don't recognize the really free ones because as Creepy Joe says, "they ain't black". The ones that follow you are on the government plANTATION.

    I have my ancestors chartered back to the 1300's. I defy you to show me where they owned one slave. Talk about stereotype! You can say they ain't black because you think you still own them! Like LBJ said......"we'll give them what they want and we'll have them n*&&^%$ voting Democrat for the next 200 years!"

    You sound exceedingly Marxist and un American

    Was not racist before, not racist now. I think those that call him a racist hide their own racism, just not too well anymore.

    America made the mistake in 2016 when Trump was voted and elected President.

    It does. When you treat one person differently than an other due to the color of the skin... than it just is.
    And if this is true, than indeed... it does mean Donald is a racist.

    There is absolutely no difference between discrimination based on skin color and discrimination based on religion.
    It's true that it's a qualification that fits the shoe of racism on one side. On the other side: this all falls under the equal protection clause of the US constitution. The EU as well just lobs all discrimination together and prohibits it. There is no distinguish to be made. So according to those norms and values of western laws: there is no difference. And discrimination on religion makes you just as bad as being racist.
