I guess I am just also intrigued by your lack of concern or even acknowledgement that Trump incites racism and is using it in his campaign. Your denial of something that seems so self-evident I suppose comes off as support, since that level denial usually accompanies blind support for something. So apologies for the misconception.With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy. ~ Desiderata0

No worries. I just happen to disagree on "the incites racism" bit. He is aggressively confronting sacred cows (illegal immigration, radical Islam, etc..) which discomforts the progressive and the establishment class. I have been called a racist on these boards for discussing the same. It is simply a label that I find unacceptable and is used by others to try and shut down speech. There is plenty to attack Trump on, lots of which I would agree with, but the political correctness angle will lose me every time.PJ_Soul said:I guess I am just also intrigued by your lack of concern or even acknowledgement that Trump incites racism and is using it in his campaign.

As you can see the concept of superiority/inferiority has a lot to do with it...no matter what Paul Ryan says.0 -
So, if one has to assume that some individuals in a particular race are good people, doesn't that mean that one is assuming the majority are not? Sounds like a belief in superiority to me... and everyone but you lolBS44325 said:

So BS, what about race and discussions of race gets shut down? What do you want to talk about, but can't? What's the difference when someone says something racist vs. just "aggressively confronting" an issue?BS44325 said:

Maybe if I change it to a statement with which you can agree or disagree.
I assume that some politicians must be honest. Implicit in that statement is the fact that I assume that most politicians are not honest, otherwise there is no need for the words "some" and "must".
Agree? Disagree?
In addition, my assumption that some politicians must be honest means that I have never met an honest politician, or that I have never met a politician at all, but that isn't relevant to Trump, who has surely met Mexican immigrants.
Agree? Disagree?

Well in politics/academia any discussion of illegal immigration always leads to accusations of racism. It is pretty much inevitable. What Trump is doing is aggressively confronting the sacred cows surrounding the issue. Mentioning crimes that are actually occurring is tough to hear but that in it of itself is not racism.Go Beavers said:

This all may be true, but not what we were discussing. Weren't you saying that his attacks on Curiel were not racist? Curiel is a native American citizen and a Federal judge. Further, his original state appointment was by a Republican Governor. However, Trump said he can't get a fair hearing because Curiel is Mexican (he isn't). Even though the case before Curiel has ZERO to do with immigration, Mexico, walls or anything of the like. Telling someone they cannot do their job because of their lineage is pretty much an excellent example of racism.BS44325 said:

Here's a thought...take it or leave it.
Our illegal immigration problem involves many people of many races, not just a single ethnicity. The problem is our policy. So why doesn't that politician just talk about the issue instead of making nasty comments about a single race and wanting to build a wall to separate us from one of our allies? I'm disturbed by how that politician categorizes people by race instead of just seeing human beings as human beings. Example, Senator Warren and her ethnicity. Why bring that up at all? It's how he sees people...how he defines them. Racist? If it quacks like a duck....
I've said it before...when there's a hostile alien invasion, we'll all be in it together...humans vs ?Maybe they'll be peaceful aliens. Have a beautiful Sunday. all.
