this is a real sickness that needs to stop, screaming racism at everything and everyone

what idiots

How far the victims of racist issues dare to talk about racism. ! The shame!

there are no or very damn little to no victims of institutional governmental racism anymore.

wake up

Once again so glad the old white person in the room gets to decide who a victim is. However would they be able to decide for themselves if they were a victim otherwise

you mean, who the victim isn’t, because there was no racism in his criticism.

Whatever makes you feel better at night

No reason for him to feel bad at night.

Well…

Pulling out of TPP and not working on alternative trade deals.

Trying to destroy ACA with no alternative. That supposedly existed.

Pulling out of the Paris Accord.

Massive tax cut that exploded the deficit and didnt lead to improved economy.(Still no 3 percent growth for a year and not even a 4 percent growth for a single quarter).

Alienating some of our closest allies(pretty much all of Europe).

Looking over the murder and dismemberment of a Washington Post journalist.

Legitimizing North Korea and getting nothing.

Pulling us out of the successful nuclear deal with Iran.

Want me to keep going? Didnt drop the R bomb in there

all of these have been blamed on trump being racist to some degree.

Holy ■■■■■

No they haven’t. This is a completely unfounded assertion.

Of course not, after a long day of thinking and deciding who the victim is or isn’t why not?

[gooddad409]

If he had voted for Hillary i could see him feeling bad at night.

Also, San Francisco still means ■■■■ to a lot of his supporters. So there’s that too. It’s a race to a lot of MAGA.

San Fran, physically, is rather small. It’s population increases 3x on a work day. what happens in the burbs is very meaningful.

As opposed to those who voted for trump and now regret it?

#walkaway was so succesfull in 2018

I haven’t run into any Trump supporters who regretted it.

Hillary would have appointed leftist pro abortionists to the court probably have us in a new war or 2 plus open borders…i could go on all night.

@Tangible08

I would give Trump a pass given that I hate Baltimore as well, but it is curious that he reserves these type of remarks for minorities.

He stated facts about Baltimore.

(Sadly true.)

Do any white mayors lead a city as bad as Baltimore is? And do any of these mayors call out Trump?

If he doesn’t respond to them in kind, then I suppose you could say he’s racist.

But pointing out that Baltimore is a crap place is hardly racist.

I sure wouldn’t want to live there.

And I say this as someone who despises Trump.

Really not hard to find em

@thinkingman

maybe. but when he actually says something racist let us know

(this does not include being critical of anyone who is non-while btw)

On a similar note… would you say this logic applies to calling anyone who is critical of Israel or Netenyahu anti-semetic?

[Spartacus]

Not really.

[H_Arendt]

@thinkingman

@Excast

There is something to the fact that the only time he brings up “infestations” is when he is referring to black people or areas that are predominantly black.

narrative

you assign racism where there was none

“No human being would want to live” in Elijah Cummings district was what Trump said… implication about the people who do live there.

Yes you can parse the words all you want, but the implications are clear.

On the other hand, when Trump’s administration approves the merger of T-Mobile and Sprint, a merger the Justice Department said was not necessary, after the CEO of T-Mobile spent a huge amount of money in Trump’s DC hotel, then we can criticize Trump for being corrupt and bribable, which have nothing to do with racism at all.

the logic is making accusations that are not so, so yes, and to everything else. it applies. as long as the accusations are wrong

[bigtwnvin]

Did Blackwell mention the families that have had their children slain in the streets of Baltimore?

[conan]

What about them?

Are they a problem for you?

[LucyLou]

@thinkingman

Lol yes.

When a person treats members of different races differently that can be racist. There doesn’t have to be an explicit mention of race.

Cummings represents Baltimore, but also Howard County, which is pretty white and affluent (Columbia/Ellicott City named one of the best places in the country to live; third in the country for household income). I’m sure they appreciate being called filthy and rat-infested.

My Sis and her family live in Columbia, I can attest to that standard of living…also their disdain for Trump.
