Read the original tweet that set this off.
It's not racist in the least.
Read the tweet. Not the commentary.
Maybe it's coincidence that the left among us all simultaneously interpret a typical tweet from Trump as a racist tweet. Sure. You go with that. LOL!
As for the get out of jail card? Don't be the twit that you pretend to be on these boards. It's OK for someone to make a point counter to your opinion. People are salivating over a tweet because the focal point were women of color. They immediately think it's racist (see above). Which is pathetic. And inaccurate (my opinion).
The ORIGINAL tweet:
So interesting to see “Progressive” Democrat Congresswomen, who originally came from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe, the worst, most corrupt and inept anywhere in the world (if they even have a functioning government at all), now loudly......
....and viciously telling the people of the United States, the greatest and most powerful Nation on earth, how our government is to be run. Why don’t they go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came. Then come back and show us how....
....it is done. These places need your help badly, you can’t leave fast enough. I’m sure that Nancy Pelosi would be very happy to quickly work out free travel arrangements! This is your argument? "People are salivating over a tweet because the focal point were women of color. They immediately think it's racist (see above)" Then you quote the tweet.... and it's clearly racist. It's even more racist this read through. He doesn't consider them american, or at least he is clearly telling people not to. It's THEM, "viciously telling people of the united states". That means he doesn't consider them americans. so answer this tail... I'll even number it so you don't get lost. 1 - What "country who's government is a complete and total catastrophe" is AOC from? 2 - What country does trump want her to go back to "fix"? 3 - What country is Ayanna Pressley from? 4 - What country does trump want her to go back to "fix"? 5 - What "country who's government is a complete and total catastrophe" is Rashida Tlaib from? 6 - What country does trump want her to go back to "fix"? 7 - Identify a single quote in modern history where anyone has told a white person to "go back and fix the totally broken and crime infested places where you came from".... anywhere... |

7 - Identify a single quote in modern history where anyone has told a white person to "go back and fix the totally broken and crime infested places where you came from".... anywhere... Dude. You don't even know what the term "racist" means, do you? Trump's failure in the tweet is that he's ill-informed. It's why he needs to put the twitter machine to rest. If you were forced to name 3 "totally broken and crime infested" places, your top choices would not be populated predominantly by Caucasians. And don't take this as a challenge. The answer is obvious unless you don't want it to be. To recap: Trump is stupid and thought that 3 women who act un-American had roots outside the US. He challenged them to stop trying to ruin our country, but to instead show us how it's done by fixing some other hell hole. And then he invited them to come back and do the same here. You've latched onto what the media tells you: Racism. You ignore his ACTUAL words inviting them back to America. You say Trump is racist for pointing out these four women (which he actually didn't, but let's accept this as true). Yet these four women have separated themselves from the rest of the United States Congress to which they were elected, and have banded together and call themselves "The Squad". This is bad all around. Trump is a dolt for his tweet. But that's not the same thing as being racist. Meanwhile you give a pass to the four women of color that have formed a gang within Congress. |

A couple of thoughts.
saying ill informed is like saying I am big boned...
the words are chosen very carefully time and again...of course he never says "I am racist" and he very well may not be, but it is undeniable that he does give lots of signals that he is tolerant of those who are racist with these carefully chosen, nuanced-so-close-to -the-right-worded bad phrases. eg: why don't they go back...insert phrase and wink here...from where they came?
Ya really can't get much closer than that to the original!
I don't even believe defenders don't know the real phrase this example mimics. Everyone knows. Let's get real.
He even invited them back...hysterical, and sells well on the secondary market.
supporters have been glossing over similar nonsense from day one in office....
HOWEVER
Clearly many Americans are happy with many things that have resulted directly or indirectly during his term. And at least as many are not.
That's what America is about, that's how it works. A push and pull from side to side over periods of time, you don't always get what you want, and I happen to believe in the long run that is for the greater good.
All this other crap talked about above is his campaign strategy to motivate a segment not normally energized to vote, typically a number significant enough to win elections if pinpointed at the right targets that swing electoral votes. He proved it does not require more of the popular vote to win.
The objection for most who are offended is it is playing with filth and pandering to hatred and anger. Trump only cares that it worked, and believes it will work again. I think he is correct.
Obama was able to energize typical non voters too. A yuuuggge number of them were minorities. Those that hated what he did say he marketed to lazy people seeking free stuff.
Many were offended by that link. Right or wrong, that strategy did not carry over to Clinton and looks to me it will not carry over to the next Dem. To win, one of the two dozen will have to identify some typical non-voters who are feeling unrepresented. I doubt they can pull it off.
I'd say to the Dems, you have 6 years to get it all to swing back...starting NOW.
My vote makes no difference either way in MA so I'm probably going 3rd (or 4th?) party yet again.

And you completely skipped the last one. I'm not positive because I'm not a scientist like you, but if they're not white today won't they still be not white after they fix their hypothetical country? Because it's odd that a racist would want them to "come back" if they're still not white. Or (and you might want to sit for this one) perhaps his misguided angst and childish outburst was based on something OTHER than their skin color. Something you seem to be fixated on. Which isn't too dissimilar to how racists behave. I'm sure it's just coincidence. |
