Did you know Trump hit a new low today?

@4meAndyou A billionaire, who claims to be well-educated ? I can get over the language, although it’s hardly presidential. The continued racism, not so much. I don’t understand anyone finding that acceptable. 😞

@bijouxbroussard I happen to think that you can talk about reality...like the fact that Haiti and El Salvador are horrible places mismanaged extremely badly by their governments (and El Salvador is spawning things like MS-13) without being racist. I think there are millions and millions of people who are getting awfully tired of racism being flung around like mud. I think, when it comes to talking about reality, people should preface all of their racist accusations against the President with the phrase, "I am a rabid Trump hater and I am not capable of interpreting anything he says in any other way."

@4meAndyou I dislike Trump primarily [b]because[/b] he’s a racist, going back to the days when he and his father were in trouble for refusing to rent or sell to blacks. If he were not the president I’d have little to say about him, he’d be just one more racist out there in the world. But the people who [b]like[/b] Trump because he thinks the way they do, have a vested interest in ignoring the racist and sexist comments he’s made for 40+ years unless they’re ready to admit who [b]they[/b] are.

@bijouxbroussard I do think that name calling is never the way to solve our likes and dislikes. I am concerned that white elites have taken over deciding who is and is not this or that, and bullying or implying that you will name call anyone who disagrees with you is non-productive.

@4meAndyou I’m not calling names, merely stating facts. I’ve been alive almost 60 years; Jim Crow was still the law of the land in many places when I was small. I know what racism is and how deep it goes, how pervasive [b]still[/b]. I’d prefer not to see it, but I’m a realist. And experienced enough that I’d hardly need a “white elite” to explain it to me. 😑
