    he said Mexico sends us rapist and killers after that white gal was rapped and killed by an illegal Mexican in Frisco and the other stories of the same nature, like the illegal in Bakersfield who killed a young white gal and left her carved up body on a farm road, he never said all Mexicans are rapist and killers but these dumb-asses at these rally's just hear what they want.....and we continue to read about the same stuff about illegal's in our country or these so called refugees in other countries.
    it's high time ALL American's woke the fuck up ! ......

    Yes I forgot that only people who come here from Mexico rape & murder Americans !!

    There's plenty of video of him saying many things and those I do believe. He seems to believe what he reads in the National Enquirer and I don't but maybe I should? I'm wondering what you think? Should I believe any of this story? Is there some truth in this even if all of it isn't true?

    In your guys' opinion... is it racist to be indifferent to racism? Like Trump makes these outrageous statements...and yet...I don't really care because they're not about me or people like me. Is that bad? I feel like maybe it's bad. Shouldn't I, as an American of privilege (a middle-class white dude), stick up for the less-privileged (suppressed minorities)? Or is it good that I worry about myself and don't butt into the business of others?

    But I don't know the answer. I'm not racist and have never discriminated against anyone based on race, creed, sexuality, etc. Yet...when someone like Trump does...I don't really care. But I'm not exactly aiding and abetting him cause it's not like I go around saying "Have you heard about Trump's awesome Muslim ban idea?!" When he suggests banning Muslims or calling Mexicans rapists, I shrug and say "whatever" despite knowing that if I were in their shoes, rhetoric like that could ruin my life. The whole thing is strange.

    If you witness a racist act and do nothing then absolutely.
    However, with relation to Trump, he has made his campaign by making outrageous statements that I'm not convinced even he believes should, or could happen. So I'm not sure what sticking up for something against Trump would even look like.

    Well I guess voting against him and encouraging others to do the same is all you can do.

    I think it's socially irresponsible to be indifferent about racism, and pretty self-centered not to be at all concerned about it just because you're not a victim of it. You might be the supreme ostrich. But it's not racist.

    Vote on the issues that affect you, your family and your future. Take a hard look at all the candidates and their agendas. Read their websites, research and make decision based upon that. Your vote should be selfish, that's how we as a nation strive to elect the best for the majority of our citizens. No president will have 100% approval..

    Your vote should be selfish? Yikes. I think that attitude is exactly what is wrong with the world today. Looking out for the common good is looking out for yourself too IMO, and especially for your kids' futures.

    Sure, but my comment doesn't really have anything to do with the freedom to vote for whomever you want. I'm just talking about attitudes, and how a selfish attitude is bad for the world.

    As I stated before " vote for the issues that affect you, your family and your future.. The selfish part includes your family. One issue may be beneficial to you while the other issue is best for me.. So when the issue comes to a vote which vote do you cast.. Simple its called democracy!!

    If 100 people vote on one issue.. 51 vote one way 49 the other.... The 51 get their way. The 49 don't. Unfortunatly and fortunately that's how it is.... Its selfish but its democracy...
