Why do people like Donald Trump?

Want to end racism? Quit talking about it
Does any person of color who isn't wealthy or in denial believe that ? Because someone who isn't a person of color is always willing to remind you racism exists.

People are keeping it alive. The media is keeping alive. This is what I want to see more of. This picture says a 1000 words. Forget all the Trump stuff. Just her shirt.

@Hikingguy I'd like that, too, I really would. But you have the luxury of only being exposed to that side. The reality for many of us is not knowing when someone else is going to say something stupid, totally unsolicited. I took a cab to the grocery store. The cabbie commented on how "nice" the neighborhood was and the gist of the conversation had to do with his amazement that my "people" could afford to live here. This without knowing anything about me personally. I asked him to please stop talking and take me to my destination. But that's just one example. Not because of the media or any conversation I initiated. Just being out in today's world.

And any black person supporting Trump is "in denial" like I said. He received 8% of the black vote, the same percentage who would probably join the KKK if allowed to.
@Hikingguy And these are the people they're choosing to align themselves with. No, thank you.

And this is who the left choose to align with. No thank you.
@bijouxbroussard
@Hikingguy Who are they ? I honestly don't know. But I can assure you the others are home grown Americans.

I'm not aligned with either. But obviously you think the KKK is better. I see them as equally hateful.
Hikingguy · 56-60, M
Same here. Tit for tat. Please prove I am aligned with the KKK. Or most conservative people for that matter. Look I am not trying to start a fight. I am just making a point that hatred is all around us. Nothing to do with political parties. But please carry on thinking all white, or black people that support our prez are racist biggots. I can show you plenty of examples from just about all walks of life.
By the way. The bottom pic is ANTIFA. The top is ISIS.@bijouxbroussard
@Hikingguy Antifa is anti-fascism. They didn't even come to the U.S. until 2017. The KKK has been here for over 100 years. This is what they did to people (below), on a regular basis, including a family member of mine. So they might as well be ISIS to me. I don't forgive them. Blacks who don't know their history are fools. If you get to hate ISIS, I get to hate the Klan, and have more reason and a longer history behind it. They are right here in our country and supported by our president.

Well I am sorry that you hold a hatred and bigotry that you can’t let go of. Peace out. I’m done.@bijouxbroussard
@Hikingguy When racism stops I will let it go. Not until then.

Here is another history lesson about how the Italians were treated worse than dogs.
Here is a well written article. Look it up. Many people throughout history have had to endure pain. But we move past it: The New Orleans Eleven: The Untold History of the Lynching of Italians in America
@bijouxbroussard
@Hikingguy Yes. They were lynched by the KKK. Not ANTIFA. We move past things when they are reconciled. Racism has not been reconciled and probably never will be.
Hikingguy · 56-60, M
Look up these ANTIFA thugs. They are growing more and more violent. But the whole point you are missing here, is that they are so far left they have fallen off the sanity wagon. Same with the KKK. They represent something so small now it is rediculous to lump all of us into that. Actually shameful of you the imply.@bijouxbroussard
@Hikingguy The KKK marched in Charlottesville last year and murdered someone. Trump claimed there were "fine people on both sides". The hate group and the people fighting racism. Then was when he wanted to show "diplomacy"---towards racists. But he has no problem trashing certain American protesters !
