Agree... I’m surprised by this thread. It’s not even a question anymore. Carl (while likely a drug cheat) isn’t wrong here.

Something I else I just thought of that covers both of Lewis' slurs.
So, Trump is both a misogynist and a racist! I guess a prime example of this is when Omarosa won "The Apprentice!"
I've never seen the show but from what I understand this is the show where Trump would say "You're fired!" as he personally eliminated the contestants. So, I'm presuming he chose the winner.
So, strange, huh? To choose an African-American woman when he is a misogynist and racist...but Donald is clever that way, I guess...
Hah! You clearly never saw the show. Omarosa didn’t win. But please keep up the LRC standard of “I don’t know anything about ‘x’, but here’s a definitive statement about it.

I'm not claiming Trump is perfect. He has said some things he shouldn't have, but god will forgive the good. Carl Lewis is just digging a liberal hole for himself. Trump is running the country. He doesn't need crap thrown at him by liberal democrats. Support him or say nothing at all if you don't support him.
But it's ok for Trump and his goons to throw cr*p at everyone else. "Lock him up ..."

Such vitriol. Bottom line: who gives a rats butt what Carl Lewis has ever had to say.
You do. Or you wouldn't slag him.

So you are saying we should support racism? You would have made a great German in the 30s.

Typical writing capabilities of a 45 supporter.
Trump derangement triggers some form of Tourette syndrome.
Randomly screaming out "racist" and "misogynist".
it's a very odd thing to behold

But, remember this, my friends... liberals are as intellectually dishonest, as any come. See the Russia hoax for a strong example. This thread, along with many others, is a further compounding point.
mmmh, hoax that Trump wants to protect?
Nevermind.....I know you guys all have black friends so you can't be racist.
Snopes take... "there's no hard evidence"
Nope, just some giggling reporters at the obvious bulge in his pants as he stands in a intentially provacative manner. No coincidence, at all!
Everything Carl said was true.
This site is full of weak prejudiced slow white male distance runners.
These forums and Twitter are not real life and you are a troll. Sadly though, you represent everything that is disappointing about our country in 2019. Make up your own reality if you like. Believe everything that FoxNews tells you. Defend the treasonous racist in office to own the libs. Whine about pc and sjw but when you look in the mirror know that you and your kind are the downfall of thins country

Yup. Here’s a prime example. Bizarro.

Sheesh, that was weak. So, are you saying that the City of Baltimore did not send in the trash trucks to clean up the subject areas, after the highlight by Trump? Is that what you're saying?
Please, answer this direct question, because that is what you replied to.

Someone needs to send a truck in to clean up the rat infestation in the White House.

Full disclosure, I voted for Trump and likely will again. I don't particularly enjoy the way in which he conducts himself but I believe his stance on policies, taken in aggregate as I don't agree with ALL of his politics, outweigh the fact that he makes me cringe when he tweets and generally goes off the handle.
Having said that...
If Trump is any "ist" he's a narcissist, not a racist or a misogynist. Does he attack particular black people? Yep. Does he attack and belittle particular women? Yep. Does he attack particular males? Yep. Does he attack particular WHITE males? Yep.
I think Trump is an equal opportunity attacker and "belittler." By no means do I think he should do it. To be clear, I don't think it's a good thing, BUT I don't think his attacks are focused at any particular group as a whole. I think the left loses credibility when it continually jumps to branding Trump as a racist. If I take my six closest black friends, half voted for him and half didn't. In no way am I trying to use that sample in order to generalize to the entire black population in America. I realize that just because of who I am, biases and all, I am going to tend towards having more people in my circle who think like I do, but it does also make an example of the fact that there are plenty of black people who don't consider Trump a racist. The same could be said for my closest friends and family who are women.
A narcissist? Yes. Racist and misogynist? I don't really think so.
I'm a left leaning moderate, more and more so as I get older. I think the USA needs to be more moderate as well.
You're reasons for voting for Trump are, in my opinion, a big reason for the divide. Republicans (i'm generalizing big time here) vote for fiscal and policy stuff they agree with. Liberals, although often flawed in thinking through the details, default to policy that helps people. This is their greatest trait. They care about people and their instinct is to do what is best for people, not money or jobs or religion etc.
You pretty much wrote, " Trump is a piece of sh*t as a person but I don't truly care about how the president (or anyone else) treats people, so long as the policies are in line with what I believe and the economy is good."
You only get one life to live. ONE LIFE. To interact with other people and experience this planet.....and that's a road you're going to take?! Some policy you agree with and a pile of garbage human being?
That why liberals hate conservatives. Because they prioritize meaningless stuff over humans and they don't think of the big picture like people and the Earth. It's sad to think about.
One life to live... yep. So, flipping the script here... stop prioritizing small stuff like language. It's that sort of stuff that is truly dividing. The small, trivial, 'issues' that are becoming bigger and bigger by enabling greater division.
Stop enabling liberal dominated corporations, when you as a liberal, likely claim to be against mega-corporations.
Stop claiming to be anti-war, but would support warmonger Hillary, after saying nothing about Barack destroying North Africa and Syria. Trump is as anti-intervention as anything we've seen in decades. But that doesn't fit your delusional narrative, so it's conveniently passed up.
Funny read so far. My favorite three fallacies to this point:
3. Trump can't be a misogynist because Obama.
2. Trump can't be a racist because look, pictures with black people.
1. Carl's statement is wrong because he's a doper who can't sing.

Lewis is the racist. No we should not support him. That’s the point.

Truth right there.
Trump is literally a piece of human garbage and Carl was absolutely right to call him out. Good on him.
