I didn't vote for him, so.....and we're not supposed to call his followers "racist".Your country voted a racist into office.. what are you racist?
This game is easy to play.

Im not...and this isn't a logical reaction either.Right, thanks for getting on board with the premise of the thread.
Your country voted him into office.. if your country wasnt racist why did you let a racist win?I didn't vote for him, so.....and we're not supposed to call his followers "racist".
Which false accusation?I have successfully countered every false Trump accusation. Sorry if you can't comprehend facts.
Now you are getting it, good to see us on the same page tonight.Im not...and this isn't a logical reaction either.
Your statement was completely false, do better please.No and stop this trolling.
Noon, I really promise you I accept every statement you’ve made, that’s my point. I think your explanation is that Trump knowing that Omar was born elsewhere that he assumed Cortez, Tlaib and Pressley were as well. And that’s your position, right?I have successfully countered every false Trump accusation. Sorry if you can't comprehend facts.
I get that you have made several false statements and illogical posts to tru and complain about people rightfully pointing out racism.Now you are getting it, good to see us on the same page tonight.
Hey, you're starting to come around to how many of us non-Trump guys feel. But again, you shouldn't suggest that his voters are racist. That doesn't fly here. I'm told.Your country voted him into office.. if your country wasnt racist why did you let a racist win?
No...it was spot on and accurate and we have been told we shouldn't just post false and nothing else. So explain how it was false or show it to be so.Your statement was completely false, do better please.
I think Trump was referencing Omar and lumped in the 3 other crazy progressives.Noon, I really promise you I accept every statement you’ve made, that’s my point. I think your explanation is that Trump knowing that Omar was born elsewhere that the Cortez, Tlaib and Pressley were as well. And that’s your position, right?
I was being cute. How would you suggest we identify racism if not by what people say and do? Or, is your position that we can’t truly know so no big deal?You acknowledge that our statements don't make us racist, then use statements as your evidence of a person being racist. Interesting.
See, now you are demonstrating a lack of understanding. Lets quit before you fall too far behind.I get that you have made several false statements and illogical posts to tru and complain about people rightfully pointing out racism.
Sorry, this recent tidbit by Trump is pure racism.Thank you.
We have a much better chance of having a conversation now.
I know you think you have. And I guess, for you, that is good enough. But I have not seen you articulate a compelling argument in any of these threads. You mostly beg or outright dodge the question.I have successfully countered every false Trump accusation. Sorry if you can't comprehend facts.
I feel like you don’t understand how public statements work.A history of statements from people you don't know?
So you agree that Nancy Pelosi is racist?Only people who make racist statements get accused of it...its not everyone.
You mean by what you tiny snippet of a person you don't know says and does that you see?I was being cute. How would you suggest we identify racism if not by what people say and do? Or, is your position that we can’t truly know so no big deal?
you may be cool with (and explain away) the leader of the free world thoughtlessly tweeting racist attacks against congresspeople by convincing yourself he was actually thinking more about the dump he was taking. I’m not. I think the normalization of racist rhetoric is dangerous and should be called out.
And there is the leap.Sorry, this recent tidbit by Trump is pure racism.
Wow. Are you this condescending in real life? Like most of your shtick on this board, you post as though you have some insight into true knowledge that the rest of us don’t. It is tiresome and transparent.See, now you are demonstrating a lack of understanding. Lets quit before you fall too far behind.
Posts of yours like the one I quoted are so obviously wrong that no explanation is needed and no one on any side takes them seriously.No...it was spot on and accurate and we have been told we shouldn't just post false and nothing else. So explain how it was false or show it to be so.
Casts don’t cause damage to your leg but if you have a leg in a cast it’s pretty strong evidence you have damage to that leg.You acknowledge that our statements don't make us racist, then use statements as your evidence of a person being racist. Interesting.
I feel like you have resorted to condescension as a primary posting form in the last year or so.I feel like you don’t understand how public statements work.
this one one flat out out made me wake up the wife laughing.Casts don’t cause damage to your leg but if you have a leg in a cast it’s pretty strong evidence you have damage to that leg.
I'm good with whatever that is. You bring up "racism" and us Americans have a stand-alone lead-dog in the category right now.And there is the leap.
Oh yea.Wow. Are you this condescending in real life? Like most of your shtick on this board, you post as though you have some insight into true knowledge that the rest of us don’t. It is tiresome and transparent.
I feel like you have resorted to condescension as a primary posting form in the last year or so.
It wasn't always the case.
It’s possible you’re projecting.this one one flat out out made me wake up the wife laughing.
I don’t know David Duke. I guess I can’t conclude he is a racist?You mean by what you tiny snippet of a person you don't know says and does that you see?
I'm not cool with a lot of what I see from Trump. I am not going to let that make me every bit the person I despise in him. I won't make short sighted, knee jerk reactions based in anger and fear and hatred because I see a tweet.
The result here is a further polarization where the accusation is a lazy first resort instead of productive interaction to understand.
Making racist statements doesn’t turn someone into a racist, but it’s pretty strong evidence that one is a racist.this one one flat out out made me wake up the wife laughing.
I know. This thread and your replies in it leave no doubt.Oh yea.
That is what I'm all about.
Why would you know David Duke if you aren't racist?I don’t know David Duke. I guess I can’t conclude he is a racist?
Your second paragraph is a mess.
Your third is more of the condescension I was just talking about. Yawn.
Boom. Back to the premise.I know. This thread and your replies in it leave no doubt.
Isn’t that exactly what you were looking for when you started this thread?Holy #### the dogpile gang is unbelievably consistent, predictable, and relentless.
We have most of them here. I post here and there, I see a bit of this around, but the 6-12 of you that chase away any dissent here is incredible.
You are almost choreographed at this point.
Looking for? No.Isn’t that exactly what you were looking for when you started this thread?
You seem very unhappy for someone who believes he is right.Holy #### the dogpile gang is unbelievably consistent, predictable, and relentless.

He’s not saying you’re racist, he’s saying you’re being condescending.Boom. Back to the premise.
Thank you zoo.
I’ve only heard and read the things he has said. I have no idea if he is a racist and will not call him one in this forum to promote better dialogue going forward.zoonation being friends with David Duke casts a whole new light on things.
Because he’s famous. He was even a character in an Oscar nominated movie very recently.Why would you know David Duke if you aren't racist?
You just said you knew him.I’ve only heard and read the things he has said. I have no idea if he is a racist and will not call him one in this forum to promote better dialogue going forward.
So we know all famous people? Like more than their names?Because he’s famous. He was even a character in an Oscar nominated movie very recently.
He said he DOESN’T know him. Did you read the post you quoted?You just said you knew him.
And then equated that toHe said he DOESN’T know him. Did you read the post you quoted?
zoonation being friends with David Duke casts a whole new light on things.
I understand this: Trump wanted to point out that Omar - like his wife, MIL & his communist FIL - was not born in this country, and that she should go back to where she came from, and so naturally he lumped in three naturally born lifelong Americans, including one born just a couple miles from his own birth place, because they all shared a far left ideology. Am I saying anything incorrect here?I think Trump was referencing Omar and lumped in the 3 other crazy progressives.
