the lengths people go and the contortions they go through to defend trumpy is truly amazing. It makes you understand how cults work.

I just had a super frustrating convo with some old white dudes... The declared Trump isn't racist... I said he was... by the end they said "okay I'll give you that he's a racist but..." Like it was something that didn't matter. And I truly understand why the phrasing of Black Lives Matter is used now... to most they just don't care if it does not affect them.

I just want a president that isn't embarrassing... I don't think Biden or Trump deliver that... but Biden's brank of embarrassment is better than Trump's. I think Mickey Mouse has a shot this year... I might be voting for him.

I think the term racist is thrown around way way way way too freely. I don't think Trump is actually racist, well maybe a little. I just think he is incredibly selfish and has no self awareness. I honestly don't think he dislikes blacks or mexicans. I'm sure he thinks just as little of poor whites, but he has to pretend to like him because they vote for him.

It depends on your definition. Like I don't think he walks around the white house using the N word. They colored it as he isn't sensitive to race and other things... I said "well if you aren't sensitive to discrimination isn't that racist behavior?"

People are nuanced and inconsistent... whether we want to call him a little racist or just insensitive...he is a disgusting selfish person. I have no idea what will happen if he is re-elected but it won't be good imo… I just don't know how we got here.

I agree whole heartedly with your last paragraph. It seems like anyone thats not putting minorities front and center in their lives is being labeled a racist. Gotta look out for #1 ya know.

Central Park Five. Birtherism.

I think racism is so ingrained in white folks that they don't even know it is there.

We have videos out there that show how rampant explicit racism is.

The internet is filled with explicit racism.

And the explicit side is just the tip of the iceberg.

He is racist. And not just a little. There is no doubt.

Idk, I think there is a difference between not caring about anyone but yourself and hating minorities more than whites. I think he hates everyone that he feels is less than him equally, except for the poor he can trick into voting for him.

I could be wrong though, whenever I hear stuff from him being attributed to him being a racist I think its a stretch. I think him calling illegals rapists and murders the worst thing he's said. Then there is his housing issues from back in the day, but I attribute that to more being a capitalist and looking to make every possible penny from things than him being against minorities.

I'm starting to sound like a Trumper, but I promise anyone that knows me personally would call me a lefty. I just get sick of anyone not pounding the drum of minorities non stop as a racist. I look out out for me first. I'm a selfish dick. I'm also white. No offense to the minorities but I'm always going to look out for me. It is what it is.

I don't disagree with this.
 
Just today. Definitely not racist.

WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump heads to Dallas on Thursday for a discussion on race and policing that excludes the three top law enforcement officials in the county – a police chief, sheriff and district attorney who all are black.

The White House defended the snub, insisting the president will still hear a diversity of views before heading to a $10 million campaign dinner with two dozen donors who pony up at least $580,600 each for a meal and souvenir photo.

The exclusion from a roundtable on police-community relations brought a sort of resigned condemnation from Dallas County District Attorney John Creuzot. Without himself or Dallas Police Chief U. Reneé Hall or Dallas County Sheriff Marian Brown, he said, “of course [Trump] would not be getting the full picture of advice from law enforcement. I don’t know who he’s going to get it from. I mean, we are the people on the ground.”

Bumped this thread thread last night as it had become dormant and appeared that nobody cared about COVID anymore. No posts about COVID since. Am I in the right thread?

RIP, COVID.

Yeah, this thread took a turn toward another thread.

The COVID situation is too frustrating. Cases increase and people don't care. But easy for me to say because my employment continued as normal and my life as an ill person didn't dramatically change. I'm just taking care of myself and hoping for the best for everyone else.
