You don’t have much room to call anyone out on a double standard currently holding one yourself that shifts from minute to minute, also involving this exact dude.
I fear this is too hilariously entertaining to be true. Because you’d know we’d end up with the president of the United States tweeting the usual excuses: “it just means an ignorant person” or “there are white ■■■■■■■ too.” It’s just too rich.
Ah, the old “the ends justifies the means” morality. I guess you have to hold to that type of morality to support Trump. I don’t hold to that morality, which is a big reason I can’t support Trump.
Honestly, even I never imagined anything this surreal and ridiculous happening-hoisted by his own petard by another reality TV actor?-and I’m just going to sit back and enjoy this. Black Twitter is gonna be amazing.
When it comes to politics, it is a rare politician who doesn’t have any skeletons in their closet. So that leaves only results. Those that recite platitudes about morality deserve what they get - given that they really don’t seem to care what actually gets done as long as they can have a squeaky clean person representing them.
No one is squeaky clean - but I do hold elected officials to a higher standard than those who they are leading (as it should be). If they are learning from their mistakes and growing in a positive direction, that can mitigate issues they may have. Problem with Trump is - I don’t see that happening with him.
I will say, if the tape is true, and Trump did say the n-word, I can guarantee that Trump idolizers on this board will immediately find Democrats who used the word and go “See! See!”. None will condemn Trump.
