People like Flagpole just use racism as an excuse. It’s just an easy way out. I live out in the mountains/rural area and only around 5% are legitimately racist. The vast majority could care less. Places like Charlottesville (riot) have people travel from all over to make themselves bigger then what they really are. Racism is something democrats don’t want to end. They cherry pick cases/circumstances from all over the country to try to fill their agenda. I promise it is very depleted and not worth mentioning anymore. Flagpole needs to focus on political reasons to beat President Trump. Not the Russia/racism thing.
As for Northam, it is very troubling and now he is trying to cover it up. First he is in the picture, now he isn’t. Cover up is worse then the crime. I’d say he should resign.
Well, I have commented on this before, but I will be more complete here.
If you currently support Trump, you are one of two things (this assumes you are not mentally challenged):
1) A flat out racist.
2) Stupid as can be.
You Trumpers still don't get me. Let me try to spell it out for you.
1) My goal in stating truth to power (and truth to you here at Letsrun) is NOT to beat Trump. I don't want him to serve another term of course, but since I can not control the idiocy of others and I don't have a big platform (not famous, not a politician), what I say has no affect on whether Trump will win another election. I simply state the truth. Period. My goal is NOT to get a Democrat in the White House or even to make Democrats look better than Republicans. My goal is ONLY to get DONALD TRUMP out of the White House because he is a racist, a sexist, a serial liar, a bad example of how humans should behave, and an epic criminal who is endangering our national security. He was a Democrat for most of his adult life, and if he had won as a Democrat, I would be just as against him.
2) Bogus that Democrats don't want racism to end. The cherry picking that you mention is BS. How does Democrats going after Northam help Democrats in any way? It doesn't. In THIS CASE Democrats see a wrong and are correctly calling for his resignation. This is not to say that Democrats always make the right decision, because they don't, but this is the right call here and the antithesis of how you portray Democrats.
Now you are calling all Latinos and African-Americans who support Trump racist and/or stupid.
Rich.
I think you need to look up the definition of racist. I agree with the poster who said you were confusing racism with bigotry. Something I’ve seen you do a lot.
