He said that after he cleaned up his initial call for banning all Muslims from being in America.

 

Back to my question though...how should American Muslims feel about Trump's blanket statements about Muslims?

 

How should Hispanics feel about his words about Hispanics? And forget the criminals, rapists but some are good people rant. He said he couldn't get a fair trial from the Hispanic judge because the judge was Hispanic.

 

We can just ignore the whole refused to rent to blacks let's settle out of court situations. He settled so that doesn't implicate him being racist. I already know that answer. :lol2:

 

I don't see racism around every corner.

 

He he made the statement about the judge after the media had misquoted him for weeks on his statements about the border and deportation. Did I like it? No.

 

I wouldn't know how to tell Muslims to feel.

 

I don't believe him to be racist.

Trump will be on the path to a successful term as soon as he signs a single Executive Order that nullifies every Executive Order signed by Obama. In one swipe of his pen, he wipes out Obama's legacy of partisan arm twisting and petulance. After that, begin dismantling Obamacare and building a sustainable, affordable replacement. Then start cutting taxes and burdensome regulations.

Ahh, Jim. He won. How he won isn't important anymore.

 

You can continue to ignore the fact that the Dems blew it. President Obama even said so.

 

Guess you are finally disagreeing with him on something?

He likes parts of ObamaCare. His words.

Yeah you weren't here on election night when I said in the thread that the democrats only have themselves to blame for losing to Trump. That's last week's news. I agree with him wholeheartedly on this but we had that discussion last week. I think it is one of the easier things to take away from this election.

 

What is it I have said that makes you think I don't blame the democrats for losing to Trump?

I don't see racism around every corner either. I know it when I see it and hear it though. I know the difference between racial insensitivity and racism. I know what using coded language to reach a certain base sounds like. I think recognizing racism is pretty easy and latent racism and the normalization of racism is at an all time high these days.

Could be the constant drum beat of racism,

bigotry, etc.

 

Trump made some comments that weren't smart or that I agree with. The media has done everything they can to misquote him and leave parts of his statements out to make them sound worse. That's fact.

I believe I can pick out racism pretty easy.

 

I haven't lived your experience so I can't say you are incorrect.

 

What are some of the examples of the "normalization" of racism? Not being smart, trying to understand what you are talking about.

As do I. There are some good provisions in an otherwise bad Bill. That is why I said dismantle and build a sustainable and affordable replacement. Some of the dismantled parts should be used, but most of the plan needs to be scrapped.

No doubt it is out there. But all races are guilty of it.

I've beat that drum my whole life. Why would I not beat it now? It's funny too because when I beat that drum about Bill and Hillary no one disputes it. Not even the Hillary supporters and she and Bill did a much better job of hiding it. Say it about Trump and folks gets defensive and he sucks at hiding it. You tell me what is really going on.

 

No argument there but a lot of his statements have been so bad the media didn't have to leave parts out or misquote him.

An example of normalizing racism is when a majority of people can see racism right in front of them but there is no rush to rid ourselves of the racism. It is happening by whites and blacks these days. Stephen Brannon is a perfect example and I don't need biased media to let me know that fact and I am surprised more people don't see it.

 

If BGP published questionable articles about race and allowed its members to openly engage in blatant racism and openly express their support for white supremacy would you think that BGP at the very least supports the cause and message of white supremacy?

As do I. There are some good provisions in an otherwise bad Bill. That is why I said dismantle and build a sustainable and affordable replacement. Some of the dismantled parts should be used, but most of the plan needs to be scrapped.

 

Why couldn't our leaders do that when Obamacare was unveiled?

No doubt it is out there. But all races are guilty of it.

 

I agree wholeheartedly.
