Funny, but in all the years before politics, no one ever accused Trump of being a racist.

Yeah, sure. 

Other than a lawsuit accusing him of engaging in systematic discrimination against black people.

And the president of Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City quoting him as saying, “Black guys counting my money! I hate it. . . . I think that’s guy’s lazy. And it’s probably not his fault because laziness is a trait in blacks.”  (He said the book quoting him was “probably true.”)

There are other examples.

Is he an egregious racist?  Probably not.  But to claim that there were never any accusations is patently false.

I think it's pretty much done, at least for now.  It isn't about policy or thought; it's about making " 'splodey heads 'splode", as a moron once said.


It's turning vicious,  as it should have done back in 1992,  if not earlier.   It is coming to the realization that it's leadership has been deliberately lying to it, and undermining it,  and it now realizes that the entire broadcasting infrastructure is an edifice for promulgating deliberately liberal propaganda and censoring news stories and ideas which demonstrate that the Conservative perspective more accurately describes the real world. 


It is coming to realize it has been conned for a long time,  and it is now angry about it. 



Glenn Reynolds of Instapundit has repeatedly been saying something similar to the following. 


We tried bipartisianship with George HW Bush.   We tried being "nice"  with Mitt Romney.   Now we are trying "rude"  with Trump.

You know he’s gotten awards from black leaders for his fair hiring practices and other efforts to help blacks, right?

By the way Mr. Suppressed, I defy you to find one large corporation in business long that hasn’t been sued for sexual or racial discrimination and nearly everything else under the sun today. By the way, was his company found guilty in the example you stated?

You are moving the goal posts. You said "Funny, but in all the years before politics, no one ever accused Trump of being a racist."

And Suppressed provided examples of people accusing him of discriminating against blacks in business contradicting what you said. And now you want to elevate accusations to being "found guilty" in a court of law as somehow proving you were right. Not the same thing. Not your claim that was being responded to.

Nice try. Frivolous lawsuits are filed every day in this country. Anybody can claim anything in a filing. The question is, can they provide credible evidence in a courtroom to back up their claim.

I’m still waiting for that answer.

@DiogenesLamp

Your leader is lying to you now and you're lapping it up and asking for more.  The wall he promised you is renovated fences.

Look, we know the extent of your warrior's blood doesn't extend beyond the keyboard.  I'm pretty sure you're about as vicious in real life as a neutered Labradoodle.  So for God's sake, quit the posturing. 

Don't expect credit from me for you wanting things to turn vicious.  You're a part of the problem. 

When you tell me I won't like what you'll try next, I start wondering if that's a threat.  I suggest you be very careful with that kind of thing, understand?

You come across as a raving lunatic with your veiled threats of violence and your nutcase conspiracy crap about Hillary Clinton killing people with witchcraft spells.  I hope lurkers who see your posts recognize you as the token nut.

You do not.  You have no idea what I have already done.  I dare say you would have sh*t a brick had you engaged in the political fights I've already fought.   I've been threatened with arrest,  i've had people twice set fire to my land,  i've been harassed and mocked by hecklers at political events. 


I've been interviewed by dozens of Television, Radio and Newspaper reporters for my political stances and my activism.  I've spent large sums of my own money in the political campaigns I have engaged in.  I've organized and directed men to conduct political operations that were highly successful.   


My signs have been attacked with fire, axes and gun shots,  i've done about all there is to do except to get out in the street and brawl with Antifa,  and if there were any of them in my state,  I would very likely go do that.   


I have a letter in my desk right now that came from the Federal Election Commission bringing charges against me for interfering in a Federal Election.   I was going to be a defendant in a prosecution over my political campaigning.  Thankfully they dropped the charges because there was no stomach to pursue them on their part.  (We would have argued "Freedom of Speech") 


I could have probably parleyed my successes into some sort of political career,  but like Cincinnatus,  once I had defeated  my enemies,  I went back to my regular life.   


But I made an indelible mark on my state.   My group got laws changed,  and we have photographs of us with the governor signing the new laws.  (I won't tell you what they were because from that you can figure out who my group was, and therefore who I am.)   



So tell me,  what political fights have you been involved in?   Were you thinking you might be assaulted or arrested when you left home to go fight?  Many of us were thinking we would be assaulted or arrested,  and we were ready to pay the price.   






 I'm pretty sure you're about as vicious in real life as a neutered Labradoodle.  So for God's sake, quit the posturing. 


I'm noticing you are at least consistent in your inability to perceive certain things that seem obvious to me and others.

Well first of all,  I was paraphrasing Glenn Reynolds who says this quite a lot,  and yes,  he is implying a threat,  and he is a mild mannered law professor from the University of Tennessee,  so I take it as a measure of how strongly he feels about attempts to overthrow the duly elected government of Donald Trump.   I also note that there are many other people who feel the same way as does he,  and this is not even a remarkable opinion among most of the circles I run in. 


Second of all,  the threat is directed at the establishment machine.  If they overthrow Trump by their machinations,   at the very least they are likely to get riots in the streets.   No one can predict what will happen,  but it may turn out even uglier than just riots in the street.   


People are tired of getting lied to and pushed around,  and if they overthrow Trump,  I think a lot of people will see this as the last straw.   





You come across as a raving lunatic with your veiled threats of violence


And you come across as someone unable to read,  because I clearly pointed out that this was Glenn Reyonalds statements,  though I and a lot of other people happen to agree with him.




and your nutcase conspiracy crap about Hillary Clinton killing people with witchcraft spells. 




Again,  more evidence that you either can't,  or don't bother to read.   I merely linked articles posted about Hillary being involved in witchcraft,  which seemed to be a big thing for some people awhile back.   

It also wasn't Hillary that claimed to have killed people with witchcraft spells,  it was some Washingtonian socialite who spouted that nonsense.  I merely pointed out that a lot of these people believe in that crap. 

I don't.

I know you don't care, but I do, for the sake of the forum. 

If "dozens" of media outlets really have interviewed you, and if you've been charged with interfering in an election, etc., I'd guess it's because your behavior is every bit unhinged as your posts.  But let's get it straight----that doesn't mean you're Braveheart.  Oh, I'm sorry---Cincinnatus!  That was who you compared yourself to, lol.

Wow. Your own words were "no one ever accused"... And now you want to claim it means convicted... Accused means accused. If that wasn't what you meant to say, say so, but don't twist the meaning of words because you were corrected on it.

What it means is that I have fought political battles harder than keyboard commandos like yourself,   and I have won them.     


To paraphrase Captain Jack Sparrow,   Of the two of us, I am the only one who has won any political fights, therefore my word is the one we should be trusting. "



I've won the thanks of two Governors of my state;   The current one and the previous one.    I've won the thanks of several elected officials from my State,  one of which is still serving as a US Senator.    It was about that  contest that the FEC wanted to charge me.   


We kicked the Democrat's @$$ so badly that  he immediately filed a weepy whiny complaint to the FEC,  who sent me that letter naming me personally as the target of their investigation.   
He never came back to our state.  He still lives in Virginia,  last I heard. 


A pox on him.  26 of us showed up in his office to warn him not to do a thing which he then subsequently did,  and we told his secretary that day that he would rue  his defiance of the people of his home state. 


We made certain that he did.

I think people can "accuse"  anything.  Whether or not there is merit to it is another matter.  One way to measure the merit of an accusation is a court decision which supports it,  but that is not the only way.

I'm not arguing that point. I didn't use the words "... no one ever accused Trump of being a racist". I wouldn't have used those words because first, people have made that accusation and second either way it doesn't mean much. To elevate that to "no one ever convicted Trump of being a racist" is moving the goal posts.

@Concerned

I don't think it's a desire to control the narrative at all.  Trump wanted to distract from his backpedal on the wall and on immigration, so he went to Twitter and threw out some red meat.  He does it every time he screws up.

@CatherineofAragon

I'm certainly not going to argue with you about whether he's trying to control the narrative or whether he's trying to distract or both.

OK let’s see if you can follow the big picture.

If Donald Trump were racist, why would Jesse Jackson, one of America’s top race hustlers, a man who made his living targeting deep pocket companies and individuals to make their race problems “go away,” why would he not go after Trump?

Instead, Jackson praised Trump for helping the “community.”

Secondly, why would Donald Trump be pictured with Muhammad Ali and Rosa Parks after he received the Ellis Island Medal of Honor?

Answer: (bogus civil suit aside), Donald Trump is not racist. The racist meme has to do purely and simply with politics. And people like you and Mr. Suppressed, with his “systematic discrimination of black people,” swallow the bait.

I’m not having any further conversations about this, I’m done with you.

You made a statement that was easily contradicted by another poster. The fact is, Trump was accused of treating blacks differently in his business activities. That is a fact. Nothing more nothing less. The accusation doesn't make it true and I didn't suggested the accusation made it true. You could have simply acknowledged that you were incorrect about Trump "never being accused" of racism in the past and added that no court had ruled against him on that front. But you had to move the goal posts to try to claim you were right and the poster was wrong.

None of what you posted about Jackson and others refutes the fact that he was in fact accused of treating blacks differently.

And you still can't admit that you were wrong.

Then you make numerous assumptions about me "swallowing" stuff not in evidence.

Your response speaks for itself.

Yeah, sure. 

Other than a lawsuit accusing him of engaging in systematic discrimination against black people.

And the president of Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City quoting him as saying, “Black guys counting my money! I hate it. . . . I think that’s guy’s lazy. And it’s probably not his fault because laziness is a trait in blacks.”  (He said the book quoting him was “probably true.”)

There are other examples.

Is he an egregious racist?  Probably not.  But to claim that there were never any accusations is patently false.

Those were different times; and I'm sorry, our inner-city may show some stereotypical traits in those ailing communities.

It was much less PC back then, I wouldn't compare it to now.

As one brings up stories like this, one has stories of those attesting that Trump is fair and doesn't have a racist bone just like a number of women have come up and spoken of Trump's fair treatment of women and that he is not misogynistic.

Different times?  Was this the Civil War era or something?
@CatherineofAragon

Yes, it was. Glad you asked me.

What's next? Liberals using the race card on Richard Pryor?

By the way Mr. Suppressed, I defy you to find one large corporation in business long that hasn’t been sued for sexual or racial discrimination and nearly everything else under the sun today.

This wasn't "today" and it was Richard Nixon with the investigation that led to the lawsuit.

By the way, was his company found guilty in the example you stated?

He agreed to comply with the remedy they wanted  As Fortune puts it:

Quote
For two years Trump would be required to supply weekly lists of vacancies to the Urban League’s Open Housing Center. When vacancies opened up in buildings where fewer than 10 percent of the tenants were black or Hispanic, the center would then have three days to submit applications from minority clients who wanted those apartments. If qualified, they were to get preference by agreeing to advertise vacancies in newspapers that served the black community. Trump was also required to advertise vacancies in press outlets serving minority communities.


But all of this is irrelevant.  What is relevant is that you made a statement and I provided clear counterexamples that disproved it.

"Yes it was?" 

Damn, no wonder Trump has to dye his mullet daffodil yellow.  He's over two hundred years old.
