President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Sure. But Inky just made a more broad statement.

 

In the logic of your defense of Trump, it would have to be a white dude calling another one that while in front of a group of African-Americans.

 

I know, but I think he was just sloppy.

 

And, obviously what Trump said was stupid, and inappropriate in the setting.

 

The reason that Trump using "Pocahontas" as an insult is offensive (and racist) isn't because "Pocahontas" is inherently a racist term, like "nigger" or "wetback" or "wop." Take your pick.

It's offensive (and racist) because Trump is showing his ass by boiling down the rich history of the Native American people to one cursory representative that every white kid learns about in second grade.

 

O'Keefe is such a pile of garbage. Yet his audience is the same group that accepts the "Fake News" bullshit line from Trumpers.

O'Keefe, along with other right-wing sites named earlier today on this thread, are the definition of "Fake News."

Glad to see O'Keefe get a metaphorical kick in the balls on this.

 

I’m genuinely surprised we got 10 months into a Trump presidency before the “black people are racist for saying nigger!” argument came up.

 

About the same time they learn the coffee-tea-soda pop-pee thing.

 

My wife, a second-grade teacher, worked with another second-grade teacher a few years ago that put up a Thanksgiving display that read, in big huge block construction paper letters:

"ME GOT 'EM SMART TRIBE."
