No racism under Obama Presidency
[QUOTE=PVMonger;2582340]I'm glad that you can give them the benefit of the doubt. But, unfortunately, the situation is worse.
Minorities have known for a long time that ugly attitudes have simmered just below the surface of the American lifestyle. But those attitudes were rarely public and when they were, it was always in the context of "skinheads" or some other equally obnoxious group. In private, though, these people told jokes about blacks, Pollacks, gays, etc and thought they were funny.
But trump brought all of that hate to the surface and out into the open. Supporters of the orange buffoon could now, in public, voice their hatred of people of color ("What do you get when you cross a black and a Mexican? A thief that's too lazy to steal. " of LGBTQ folks, of Muslims, of Jews and, frankly, of anybody who was different from them.
Even the MAGA slogan was meant to evoke that kind of reaction. Nobody can argue against Make America Great. But the "Again"? Why was that necessary? It was necessary because America had had 8 years of (gasp) a black President. In trump's mind, and in the minds of his supporters, American being "ruled" (that's what they thought) by a black man was the ultimate indignity. That's why the "Again" was needed in the slogan and that's why trumpets love it.
Just read the unhinged rantings of some posters. You see how deep and pervasive the hatred is. "Basket of deplorables" was accurate but "basket" was far too small of a container because there are 74 million of them.[/QUOTE]Yes Trump must be to blame for racism because there was no racism under the Obama presidency. There was no crime in Chicago or the democratic cities under Obama.
In our state black Trump supporters work. They are doctors, lawyers, car salesmen and business owners. Some are friends of mine. None of them succeeded with government handouts. We don't have 50 blacks getting shot every weekend. Innocent black children getting shot by blacks every week in democratic states. That doesn't happen in Republican states. Black children lives do not matter to the democrats. They are hypocrites just like the posters on this forum. Defund the police. Kill more innocent black kids. Defund the police. More mugs in NYC. Defund the police. Crime up over 100% in most democratic cities. Yes the democrats really care don't they.
The democrats hate of democracy and their hate of USA will be the downfall of our country Posters like you are the problem with America today.

I recommend the film "Putney Swope" to our esteemed Chrispy, but along with the popcorn, keep a bowl handy for all that foam emanating from the mouth.
