    No, you don't define racism, but your being wrong is your right.

    Remember, some of your fellow Trump enthusiasts acknowledge that they support him because he is a racist, others don't like to admit it.

    Most Americans agree that Trump is a racist.

    Yes she said it, and when Pelosi criticized Omar for smearing her congressional colleagues, "the squad" implied Pelosi "singled them out" because they are "women of color".

    He didn’t attack their ideas, he attacked their personas..it’s ad hominem; not rational critique.

    You are correct.

    I do not define it. The dictionary defines it and that definition proves that his tweet was not racist. Deny all you wish but you are simply ignoring reality. You may as well be a flat earther.

    Most Americans do not know he is racist and know there is no evidence that he is racist,

    So in all this, the only ACTUALLY racist comment came from one of the Noble Brown Women.

    Their 'personas'?

    No. So where was the appropriate measure of censure of her comment?

    I think telling some with dark skin to go back where you came from because were different, isn’t a rational response in the debate over ideas. Prove their ideas are wrong, not their nationality, or ethnicity.

    Pretty much. Trump didn't become a target until he said it was insane for "the squad" to imply Pelosi was racist. Pelosi defended Omar over the stupid and insensitive comments she made about 9/11 at a CAIR fundraiser, and Omar repaid her kindness by smearing her.

    Who noted their dark skin .. Progressives, or Trump?

    And who said it was because they're 'different' (your words)? Progressives, or Trump?

    Want to identify racists? That's how you do it.

    he's definitely a bigot.

    he has a long history of bigoted and race-baiting comments

    Ah, the blindly faithful following their leader. Trump, the precursor to a real American tyrant? Oh yeah.

    Hey, you don't want to believe the tweets were racist, don't believe--tyranny requires a broad base of gullible followers. Who needs reason when you can have a tyrant do your thinking for you, right?

    What you don’t want to understand is nationalism is a form of racism—judging one not by the content of their character, but by their place of birth, their national ethnicity. That’s racism, pure and simple—judging by blood, not actions and ideas.

    In, other words, those that don’t look like us, act like us, think like us, speak like us, aren’t us, they are outsiders, and therefore, immoral and unwanted.

    As always the intellectually weak and ultimately pointless individuals lose nuance in framing.

    70% of this forum seriously needs to up their Xanax dose.

    Wrong.

    Nationalism is not a form of racism

    People of every racial type can be found in any nation and on every continent

    For example one could accurately tell some white people to go back to Africa because some white people actually came from there

    Judging people by place of origin is not the same as judging them by blood.

    Oh. We are stretching that rubber-band of believability a little thin. Careful, truth has a nasty habit of striking back when stretched too far.

    Listen to Hitler’s speeches on Nationalism, substitute America for every time he says Germany. It’s remarkable how Trump-like he sounds.
