I haven't seen one non-white in the crowd at the inauguration

Proves the United States is the most racist country in the 100,00 years since the 1st Kenyan Civilizations in the Rift Valley.

And you won't see one in the donor class and the think tanks that run Washington...although they are sure to trot out black and brown faces for their pageants.

Sounds like you skipped the course in logic. He said non white dummies, which would exclude non white non dummies and white dummies just to mention a few. Let me know if you need anymore help.

Your interpretation of his simple, straightforward statement is coy and plays dumb to the original intent. You are trying way too hard. I could rig up something similar: "All the white idiots voted for Trump." See, I wasn't talking about "all" white people, just white "idiots." It's a statement intended to be totalizing, but that can masquerade as being directed at a sub-group when the bigot gets called out on it.

Got it?

Here's another such statement: "White racists are ruining America."

Not that you've made a very good care against white racists (a small subset of racists in this country), but I'm guessing you're incensed by whites who want equal treatment for everyone, and by those who believe in judging people by their work ethic, their past record and by the content of their character instead of by some genetic trait. Those kinds of racists are the worst.

I think there's a typo in your post. It makes it a bit hard to follow.

Anyway, no, of course I'm not "ncensed by whites who want equal treatment for everyone, and by those who believe in judging people by their work ethic..." You're being silly.

I live in a state where affirmative action was abolished before I finished high school. I've achieved a great deal by my early thirties and those in my social and professional circle, some of whom are white, most of whom are Asian or black, have done the same.

No, he's being a typical Trumpette - make up BS about what other people think/feel - then play the victim card.

Interesting: So, white people are smart and the rest of us are idiots? Got it. I'll be sure to tell my Ph.D., my successful start-up, my salary several times that of the average American and my property holdings here and abroad just how stupid I am. They'll be non-plussed.

There are dozens and dozens of jokes on these boards of how everyone on Letsrun feels the need to make posts bragging about how they're superior to the general population. I think this might be the first brag-post of this nature that's genuinely serious.

How did a one-line troll statement get you so offended that you felt the need to retaliate by posting your entire life's accomplishments on an anonymous message board?

1. (of a person) surprised and confused so much that they are unsure how to react.

"he would be completely nonplussed and embarrassed at the idea"

I incorrectly added a dash between "non" and "plussed."

Dammit, I thought you were saying Trump was getting rid of all those fatty "supermodels" we've been forced to accept. Oh well.

Oh, gee that one's really hard to figure out. Oh wait, maybe a life time of prejudiced attitudes against him for being non-white?

Not bad.

Fair enough, Seyta. Looking back at that post, I'm embarrassed by the self-righteous bragging. My bad.

Thanks. WAY beyond my own daily word usage.

Also, major kudos for admitting to a small error (even though I didn't know it was an error). Admitting mistakes is a rarity on LRC and a pretty good sign of someone worthy of respect.

Respect.

What's really amazing is that someone actually did not know the meaning of nonplussed or that a misplaced hyphen made him unable to figure out what the OP was saying.
