So … in your view is Trump a racist?

100%…

is herschel walker a liar?

Might as well be asking Susan Sarnandon at this point, but hey, if sports celebrities are your authorities…

he took trumps family to disney.

can you answer the question?

@Samm

Just say the phrase “black supremacy” and it will become clear to you.

Still not clear at all.

A doctrine of black supremacy is as dangerous as a doctrine of white supremacy. God is not interested in the freedom of black men or brown men or yellow men. God is interested in the freedom of the whole human race, the creation of a society where every man will respect the dignity and worth of personality.

— Martin Luther King Jr., Speech at the Southern Methodist University, March 17, 1966.

All you did there was to show that Dr. King understood. You, apparently, are still confused.

Is he lying about his beliefs? Nope. Doesn’t make is beliefs correct.

ah ok so trump lets him take his kids to disney, and is friends with him for decades but you think trump is a racist

can you savvy how ridiculous this sounds?

@Samm

What is “social agreed upon racism”? To me that means you think your opinion as to what is racist is correct, and if I disagree, I’m probably racist.

Like a white person yelling “white power”
Or a white person calling a black person the N word, or Monkey

Like basic stuff

But a black person yelling “black power” or calling another black person by the N word is okay per your socially agreed upon rules. Got it.

Yes. It started with this.

@WuWei

The term “white supremacy” is racist.

Thanx for trying @Samm

@FreeAndClear

Sub not generalization. I am glad you are with me on that

What?

[Samm]

@Dem

I admit some in the younger generation are too eager to call racist. But I wouldn’t go so far to say the term has diminished.

Of course it has diminished. It is now used routinely in an attempt to tarnish anyone you (globally) don’t agree with regarding any racial issue. In fact, I bet several people participating in this thread have labeled me as a racist for my disagreement with their opinions, but have withheld that description because its might get them sanctioned by the Mods. it is, as I said, the result of the maturation of political correctness. If you dare not go along with the “social norm” you are automatically labeled with the term that you challenged. It is a sickness that has so permeated society that I doubt that it will ever recover … certainly not within my lifetime.

Remember that about your own beliefs.

Glad you could follow my point and not get distracted by the irrelevant.

@Apocalypto

What the fresh hell is this?
Allow?

Yes allow. If they change the rules to his disliking, he won’t participate and, therefore, there will be no debate.

If Trump runs away from the debate because he can’t have a tantrum.

I think the event should continue and just turn it into a townhall where Biden is the only one taking questions.

And, as I’ve said, a big bowl of mashed potatoes sitting at trump’s empty podium.

That’s why I thanked you. Do I have to explain everything?

Uh oh! Stalwart Trump Fender and Republican intellectual the guy who draws Dilbert says Trump lost his vote over this. He was a stalwart defender after Charlottesville but I guess we’re just down to the real dead enders now.

It lasted like a day.

He is back on the Trump train.

[Jezcoe]

Democrats were apparently mean to him for not voting for Trump or some nonsense.

Profiles in courage there.

Racist slave owners had sex with their slaves.

Racist homeowners let black women tend to their kids.

Being racist doesn’t necessarily mean you don’t want to be around black people. It’s just means you think you are better than them.
