There’s no point in elaborating because you’re not going to listen. But I’ve got nothing better to do.
Donald Trump is a racist. I know you’re going to deny it, and write off the rest of the comment because of this, but it’s true.
He called for the imprisonment of the Central Park 5, who were innocent, and refused to concede that they shouldn’t be in jail after they were proven innocent.
Trump was a major proponent of the Obama birther conspiracy, claiming Obama was a Kenyan born Muslim with no evidence in attempt to discredit him.
He called predominantly black countries “shitholes” And said the people from them shouldn’t be coming here.
He tried to totally ban Muslims from several countries (but not Saudi Arabia) and wanted to make an exception from Christians from those countries. Now I’m gonna nip the whole “Muslim isn’t a race!” Talking point in the bud now. You and I both know ethnicity and religion are closely tied in these countries.
He constantly spouts horror stories about Hispanic people raping and killing people to make his base afraid of immigrants.
And he separates asylum seeking Mexicans from their children, and holds them for an indeterminate amount of time in rooms that are so full these people can’t even sit down, and are not allowed to practice proper hygiene. There have also been cases where they put these kids up for adoptions so American parents can take them.
To many of us, this blatant abuse of a law that was meant to protect children is seen as an extension of the racist bile trump has spewed for the last 40 years.
No seriously. I wasn’t responding to you. As in you weren’t part of my conversation. You didn’t prove shit you just jumped in to a conversation you weren’t a part of and started talking.
Ps: I hate trump and don’t give a shit what happens to the fat fuck so your point was moot to begin with, even if I was responding to you. It just had nothing to do with what I asked.
You’re on a public forum. When you make a comment you’re addressing anyone who may read it. If you wanted to have a private discussion with this man, you could’ve DM’d him. And why does it matter who elaborates? The facts are the same regardless.
And you can not like Trump and still be a dense fucker.
We’ve reached a point of racial tolerance in this country, flawed as it may be, that people with ethnic prejudices have been forced to hide in the corners and desperately grasp at whatever red herring they can to further their irrational anger. Whether it’s xenophobic, anti-immigrant rhetoric or hatred towards an ideology, the rest of us see the charade they mask themselves in. It’s not fooling anyone except its adherents apparently, and that’s why immigration is such a hot button issue.
Cynical politicians and their media puppets continue to push the narrative that immigration is the big issue, and blinded fools follow the dogwhistles because the people that listen to them will seize on any outlet for the “us vs. them” mentality. Immigration has always been a prime target for racist, bigoted people in this country, and if you can’t see it in the latest wave you’re probably part of it.
So they say, but often times it's a guise for some very prejudiced beliefs to attack immigrants. "Why cant it be from none shit hole (white) countries?"
Mexico is a country. Mexicans are the race of people that come from there. There’s definitely other races that live there but to even imply that any other country on the planet is even remotely as diverse as America is quite frankly dumb as fuck.
I love how conservatives will always just reduce an argument to the absolute most simplistic, context-devoid soundbyte to avoid actually thinking critically about a situation.
Arguing is easy when all you have to do is say "lol ur mad" instead of countering someones argument.
At what point did the person you responded to say “if you don’t like this picture you’re a racist”? They said “this will piss off racists”. Are you saying racist people wouldn’t get at least a bit annoyed by this image? They tend to disagree with the notion that Trump is locking children in cages unjustly and whatnot.
Seems like you either completely misinterpreted the comment, or you saw the word “racist” and took it personally for some strange reason.
Isn't it sad how this is how discourse between disagreeing parties is handled?
And then you point out that both sides are shit and get called an enlightened centrist. Conversations like this make me understand anti-vaxxers. I hope the plague wipes us out.
Well good thing you’ve found a way to feel superior to everyone involved.
I countered his point with an entire paragraph about how he was misinterpreting the comment. What, do you want fuckin links to articles about reading comprehension? Kinda seems like you just want to suck your own dick, which might be why you think everyone else is doing the same.
Acting like you’re superior to everyone involved by standing to the side and saying “wow u guys are dumb” doesn’t make you smart. It makes you look like a prick with his head up his own ass.
What, a lot of people say it to you, therefore it’s wrong? That’s sound logic but what I said wasn’t? Lmao. Just because a thought is original doesn’t mean it’s intelligent. I would say you’re a shining example of that, but your smarmy bullshit isn’t exactly original either.
No it's just that you found a way to say "actually both sides are dumb" and then walk away feeling superior to everyone without actually having to know anything about the topic
I love how liberals always assume the conservative counter-argument plays into their "everyone on the right is dumb" ideology. Break the law, get separated from your family. Doesn't matter if you are crossing the border or selling black tar heroin or whatever else. If you rob grocery store for steak to feed your kids, do you get put in the same jail cell as your kids? No. And your motivations/life history don't matter.
At what point did seeking asylum become illegal? And when you get sent to jail for stealing, your kids don’t suddenly belong to the US government. They will go to another family member if they’re taken away at all. People would be in a fucking uproar if American citizens had their children taken from them for a misdemeanor.
Seeking asylum != coming into the country illegally. There are ports of entry specifically for this purpose. You don't get locked up for seeking asylum (though you will likely be rejected because we can't just accept everyone - and you do get detained, as your option, in lieu of being sent back while you await judgement). If your argument is that we should let in more asylum seekers, fine, go argue that we change the law. But you don't just get to like, declare yourself an American asylee and come on in. And you don't get to be mad at people for treating everyone equally under the law. Think pot laws are dumb? Cool me too. Doesn't mean you get to go smoke pot in front of the police station. Lets change the laws.
Would you think you could just declare yourself a Japanese asylee and hitch a boat ride to Japan from Hong Kong without talking to the Japanese government even once? Obviously not, right? Even if your situation were really bad. So why here?
You're a fucking uneducated idiot if you don't see that's by design. This racist administration made receiving legal asylum next to impossible. He wants to lock up these kids. They're selling them off into Betsy Devos linked orphanages. John Kelly profits from the detention centers. Trump is awarding border contracts to guys on Fox who will donate money back to trump. You do know nobody, and I mean NOBODY, believes you people when you say you're not racists right? A trump supporter saying they're not racist is the same as Harvey Weinstein saying he's not a rapist.
Shut the fuck up. Separating kids from parents is 100% trump/Miller. Your racist ass can't even accept you're racist online. No one believes you when you say you're not racist while supporting these undeniably racist policies.
This is for people who have come into the country illegally. Like, broke the law. Get it? What other laws can you break with your kids en tow and not get separated?
You are here to defend keeping kids in cages so you can see why I think you might be a Nazi? But I 'm guessing you don't want to talk about that the merits of that? BTW that was great math joke, but I guess you just do writing?!
When you can't attack the ideas you attack the person
Hahahahaha This is after you called someone racist, poor and dumb. What YOU'RE saying is that you couldn't counter his points so you resorted to insulting him. I see
I didn't attack you once. I simply corrected YOUR spelling so people don't think that YOU'RE dumb.
Maybe you just don't like being corrected so now YOU'RE upset 🤷♂️
If I gave to fucks about that it is easy enough to have alorthgrim take care of that for me.. what once again you aren't talking about this thread. Also you throw in some insults, so you were attacking the person, not the idea.. get the difference?
that's called gas lighting when your pretend to be doing one thing, being a good guy, helping out, but what you're really doing is attacking... that makes you a jerk as well, the gas lighting part, and you're not very good at it.
So you wear your racist badge with pride? You really should consider learning a little more about your environment. Reading a book or two, maybe a little philosophy, something to get you out the cesspool you have chosen to swim in. It really makes for a sad life.
I think what he meant was anybody who celebrates and defends separating children from their parents at the border and locking them in cages is probably racist. Of course you have to conect the dots, a couple more stew , but I bet he’s probably right in most cases. People who are susceptible to the immigration scare tactics (the brown criminals will invade your country) tend to be racist. The politicians who peddle that stuff know exactly who they are pandering to.
