homersapien 11,393 Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Trump has obviously used racial and ethnic tensions to advance himself politically. If you simply refuse to see that, it says a lot about you and your values. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The folks defending him really don't object to being lied to as long as it's what they want to hear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree COMPLETELY! Does that mean he is racist? Do you think that Obama used racial and ethnic tensions to advance himself politically? There is a YUGE difference between being a sleazy politician and being a racist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone who plays the part of racist for political gain is no better than an actual, believing racist. George Wallace was perhaps the classic example. Besides, Trump has a history of racist actions, including red lining blacks. He would probably argue that he did it for commercial reasons, but he still did it. And no, Obama never used racial tensions to advance himself politically. Opposing racism is not using racism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that Trump is a racist because there's documented legal proof of his racial profiling towards tenants of his properties. It literally goes back to the 70s.

Baloney! Obama was the ultimate race baiter. Race relations deteriorated greatly during his 8 long years in office and the war on police was encouraged by his actions and words.

TitanTiger 20,499 Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 What's even better is that President Tone Deaf decided that the best time to issue this pardon was when a Cat 4 hurricane is bearing down on Texas and they are expecting 2 to 3 feet of rain over the next 48 hours.

AU64 10,122 Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Poor Joe...would have been better of convicted of drug peddling or disclosing military secrets to our enemies like what's her/his name Manning. None of the left seem bothered when terrorists are pardoned or druggies turned loose...but a misdemeanor charge is pardoned and they get their panties in a wad like nothing I've ever seen.
