Why do u think Donald Trump appeals to racist people so ?

And yes this post is also for all of the Uncle Toms out there, too. What do you think makes Trump appealing to racist people. Is it the invasion of colored people. The floor is yours. 🙂

Call someone a racist, twisting words to say they're a racist, comparing them to others who are racist doesn't make someone a racist. Racist has become a political weapon to beat people with.

I remember as a youngster seeing on TV when "segregationists, tried to stop children from attending schools, when politicians spoke of racism as if it was a good thing.

I also remember growing up with the community teaching the young to judge people by the character. We used to have much more problems with racism than we do today.

It doesn't help when politicians, media, and individuals imply that those who support "the opposition" are racist or any of a dozen other nasty things simply because their political philosophy doesn't agree with yours.

@sunrisehawk I think its fair. Trump caused this upon himself. And the tone that he uses is what he is being judged for. Its not like he is not leaving any evidence around for people to jump on. But because the nutcase is such a loose cannon...he is. 🙂

@Zonuss So no evidence by your own words, but it is still fair. That sums up the sad state of what passes for partisan politics today. I am offended that you would imply those of us who support him are racists as the choice today is him or socialist leaning lefties.

@sunrisehawk Not all of his troops are racist. But when you have a group of people chanting send her back, it reminds me of that stuff that went on with Jim Crow back during the old days of the Civil Rights era. And then you have the mass shooters who also are acting in Trumps favor. That is what the evidence is. Especially when its so obvious.

@sunrisehawk The term socialist leaning lefties is overrated. Its both the Dems and Repubs who have had some bad economic years. But if you wanna go on record its clear to see that the Republicans are the absolute worst when it comes to job creation and job security. This country does not want to be a communist junkyard like it was during the last years of the Reagan administration in the 1980s... That's why the Rust Belt never fully recovered after he went away. And in some places it is still just that, a junkyard.

@Zonuss If you've never seen stupid chants at a campaign rally, but all candidates, you're not paying very good attention.

And there have been a number of shooters who were left wing wackos as well. Do you blame Obama for them, or any of the current candidates?

I can understand not liking the politics or personality of any politician, but the vicious hatred I don't understand. But then I'm old-fashioned and believe in live and let live.

@sunrisehawk I blame the culture. I blame the media. And I do blame the shooter. But in Trumps case he was blatantly and openly attacking other ethnic groups here in the US. So as a result it was his own words that has inflamed the racial tensions in this country in a very profound way. The hate crimes have gone way up since his inception. And the cops have been getting all sorts of reports of church burnings and houses going up in flames. So yeah Im gonna blame Trump for this one. Sorry, Im just being real here. And if it were Obama would made real racist statements out in the open like this I would be blaming him too.

@Zonuss Re writing history, i.e. Reagan, won't make it so.
