Do u believe Donald Trump is to blame for the recent shootings in the US ? 🤔

As it stands today. It appears that Trump has emboldened these White Nationalists to commit these acts of terror. The recent events in our world today says everything. You saw the shootings in Texas and Ohio. White Nationalism, or nationalism from any ethnic group or race is the problem here. If we do not call it for what it is this tragedy will never end. Something needs to be done. But these racist comments from Trump must end. What do you think. 😐

Whilst I don’t agree with censorship as such, I do think that people do have to be careful with words. Words carry weight. Words can make us think or make laugh/cry.

People with a big platform do have to understand how people will take their words.

So, whilst you shouldn’t take [i]full[/i] responsibly for another’s actions, you should be tactful/respectful/honest in what you put out to the public.

Trump has a habit of pulling people down with inaccuracies, people that he doesn’t agree with. The Mayor of London states something about a British issue in America and next we hear is that he is doing a rubbish job and he’s responsible for ‘rivers of blood’ in London....

How does that look? That England is a scary place to live. Fact is, there is some violence, of course, but nothing like what is displayed by Trump’s words...

Call out Mexicans and blame them for taking US jobs just leads to hate of those people and holding them to task for unemployment.

Fact is, we had a little taste of that with the influx of Eastern European’s in the uk....a minority slagged them off for taking British jobs, yet these were menial jobs that those self-same brits turned their noses up at! Someone has to do these jobs and, to their credit, these overseas immigrants came and did them!

Trump never tends to think of the implications of his words and his actions.....

...and that is sad...

@MartikaDuponte1 Ah yes, no muslim influence in Britain at all now, is there

@MartikaDuponte1 well said

MartikaDuponte1 · 36-40, F

@sunsporter1649 @UserNameSW ....and I live in a hugely multicultural area, where Muslims live, hand in hand, with Catholics and Christians.....

It’s good to mix things up a little. Life would be boring if all was the same...

So, Sun....I tend to find those people that slag off a culture are those that are AFRAID of it! Stands to reason that if you’re AFRAID of something then that means you’re INSECURE.....

Is America REALLY that insecure? Small penis/big car syndrome? Hmmmmmm....

@MartikaDuponte1 Best answer.

@MartikaDuponte1 This is the best answer here on this topic. 🙂

@MartikaDuponte1 What Nation or even "tribe" throughout history has stood under the pressure of "multiculturalism"? Multiculturalism is a ruse, a ploy- to replace one culture, usually a dominate culture that is unwanted by groups of smaller cultures sharing the same space--- Tell me, as a woman, what part of Islamic culture do you find most appealing.?

Graylight · 51-55, F

@GERRI Your understanding of multiculturalism is very poor.

GERRI · 51-55, F

@Graylight well, unfortunately I do understand "multiculturalism". I also understand and appreciate that many in the West have been confused by the modern definition of multicultural--- confusing it with multiracial.
I suspect you aren't interested in hearing an unbiased and non-agenda driven explanation so i won't bother. Just remember this-- The great American experiment was meant to build a society of a melting pot-- not a salad bowl. Race doesn't divide us,, culture does.

@GERRI Boy are you gonna catch it from them. Logic is not their strong suit

Zonuss · 41-45, M

@GERRI So why do you feel threatened by other cultures then ? 🙂

sunsporter1649 · 70-79, M

@Zonuss Islamic terrorism is a culture? No wonder we are doing something about it

Zonuss · 41-45, M

@sunsporter1649 You are afraid of Muslims ? LOL !!!!! 🤣

sunsporter1649 · 70-79, M

@Zonuss Where did I say muslims?

Zonuss · 41-45, M

@sunsporter1649 There are more people killed here in the US by mass shooters.
Why wont you talk about that. 🤔

sunsporter1649 · 70-79, M

@Zonuss Because the topic under discussion is culture bias

@GERRI [quote]Multiculturalism is a ruse, a ploy- to replace one culture, usually a dominate culture that is unwanted by groups of smaller cultures sharing the same space---[/quote]

This is the part that doesn't sit well with me. Multiculturalism isn't oppression. Opprrssion is.

You're completely correct about the melting pot v. salad bowl metaphor, but it's now considered unrealistic that the US would ever be a true melting pot. Still, that doesn't preclude multiculturalism. It may not work well everywhere, but it can work given realistic parameters.

(And regardless of what the idjit sunsporter1649 says, authentic and polite debate is always welcomed. He'd know that if he were capable of it.)

@pianoplayingsteve I come from the UK too but I don't feel that that necessarily means I have specific knowledge and understanding of Sadiq Khan, do you live in London?

pianoplayingsteve · 31-35, M

@ninalanyon I know, I'm just playing these alt left types at their own game. "No vagina, no opinion".

imo21169 · 41-45, F

@MartikaDuponte1 but trump is a buissiness man,but he des what he says

Zonuss · 41-45, M

@imo21169 Not always. He said he would not drag us into another battle or war.
Now we just sent 3000 US soldiers back to the desert. So yes he lied. You clearly are not stupid are you. 🙂

imo21169 · 41-45, F

@Zonuss but hey thats politics

sunsporter1649 · 70-79, M
