So what? A lot of people want the whiteness to be "messed with." A lot of people don't want the legal framework that made America great. A lot of people don't want the financial burden of maintaining unemployed Americans while replacing them with lower wage immigrants or unemployed immigrants. A lot of people want to change the political, social, and cultural makeup of this country aided by unsupportable mass immigration of different cultures and political persuasion. A lot of people don't want their stuff messed with. You got a problem with that? Is everybody supposed to think like you? You got all the answers and know better what's better for everybody? |

I do have a problem with the racist, anti-all-but-one type agenda put forth by the president, yes. It is based mostly on lies and fear. It has emboldened many lousy segments of our country. Everybody is not supposed to think like me, but luckily this forum isn't about everyone sharing how they feel and each of us patting each other on the back. Calling b.s. is what has been done for eons. I understand why a law and order person gets upset that the bigot aspect gets tied in to the discussion. The Republicans would have fixed the problem if it was just a law and order issue. They can't because their ranks are split and the law and order segment cant pass what is acceptable to them and the far right nuts will never get there agenda through. Stalemate. Some like to pretend the narrative is perpetually about racism, when racism isn't part of the story. It is part of the story.

because you have this odd need and desire to insert it onto every story...and it's not just you but the left in general and the media...it's become a crutch and a weapon...it's obnoxious

and in the process, gave them a soapbox that reaches millions.
I prefer they live in the dark little recesses and crevices of the world, never to be taken seriously or heard from. But the media has to drag them out for the world to see just so they can go 'See, See, We told you so.....Trump"
the idiocy is astounding. |

If I remember correctly last years event brought out thousands, people died and the President failed a no-brainer leadership moment...you can't expect them to stay in the dark little recesses when the President is stirring the same pot. |

Yes it did, Yes they did, and Yes he did. And that was a big newsworthy event.
2 dozen marching on DC was a "Nothingburger" that should have been ignored. instead it was national news |

Somebody should have told the police they didn't need to show up. |

It's a news story that there are 24 white racists out there. We didn't know that until now? 24 people, whew, we better get cracking down on that movement Then Antifa showed up dressed like ninjas and started rioting. |

The Trump effect has shown me exactly who my friends are who harbor racist/biggoted/hateful beliefs. I do t need a stupid staged white power party to tell me that there’s people out there who think there’s too much brown in their town.

So are you saying that you never knew, or even had an inkling, that your friends were like that before Trump? I call BS on that one. Sorry, they couldn't have been that close to you, or you would have known. |

well...Trump was never called a racist until he opposed a democrat in an election....that's all it really takes....it's political racism for the left, created in their heads to demean idealogical opponents...they are fully invested..."if you disagree then you must be"
oooh...there's a cool rhyme they can chant at their funny hat rallies  |

Not too much non-white. too much of the wrong kind of non-white, which want to transform the country to look like Venezuela. If that's racist, I'm racist too.. |

By follow up, do you mean the "Brown Guy" on the Boston Common that 40K+ people gathered together to call him a nazi?
Because that is part of the Idiocy that I'm referencing. |

No, I mean President Trump refusing to specifically condemn a bunch of racists.
