    Who upsets you more?
    It's not really a matter of scale in my mind.  Like saying "would you rather eat shit or drink piss"?  Racists disgust me, every thing about them does so I would maybe put them in the "shit" category.  Anarcho-communist-Antifa are terrorists and try to get their way through fascism-like violence, so I would put them in the"piss" category (and because flinging piss is part of their strategy)... I'm going to avoid eating and drinking both at all cost.

    I think she is one, "conservative" republican who happens to be black who has not experienced a lot of racism in her every day encounters. I think she is wrong to assume everyone else has similar experiences.

    Russell is correct in that this isn't the real issue though. The real issue, and the reason why this story will not die is because we have a president who cannot handle the most basic of presidential task of forcefully and unequivocally condemning the extreme alt right white supremacists. Her video would be way more impactful if she acknowledges this instead of making it out to be some media nonsense. Story would have largely died a week ago had the president been able to handle a task a 12 year old would have no problem with.

    He won't condemn those groups because he's a white supremacist himself. I've said it before, but that's why you're seeing a hightened resistance. The tendancy whites have is to minimize this a say the fringe shouldn't get the attention. Well, the fringe is in the White House.

    Trump was on National television condemning the neo-nazis and white supremacists.  Did everyone miss this or am I missing something?

    I thought that he did condemn them, but that it was just "too little too late" for most of the people that truly hate him.  Didn't he mention them specifically in a speech not long after?

    When will this insanity end?


    (CNN)Sam Clovis, Donald Trump's pick to be chief scientist for the Department of Agriculture, has argued that homosexuality is a choice and that the sanctioning of same-sex marriage could lead to the legalization of pedophilia, a CNN KFile review of Clovis' writings, radio broadcasts, and speeches has found.

    It will take something drastic, out of this world for it to end.  Something like Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith showing up with their little clicky memory-erasing pens and making everyone forget about religion.

    Quote from the article:
    "His nomination has drawn criticism from Senate Democrats, who argue his lack of scientific background makes him unqualified for the USDA post overseeing science."
    So he's a homophob AND not qualified...

    he did. Not sure why people keep calling him a white supremacist. There is no evidence that I've seen/heard that shows anything but the fact he simply knows who his base is, and he continues to pander to them.

    WARRIOR OF GOD

    Hate Groups in America
    ANTIFA
    Antifa is a far-left militant political movement of autonomous, self-described anti-fascist groups in the United States. The term is loosely used to refer to anti-racist, anti-sexist, anti-homophobia, as well as anarchist and anti-capitalist groups.

    Black Lives Matter
    Black Lives Matter (BLM) is an international activist movement, originating in the African-American community, that campaigns against violence and systemic racism towards black people. BLM regularly holds protests against police killings of black people and broader issues of racial profiling, police brutality, and racial inequality in the United States criminal justice system. They promote killing of Police (no matter of their skin color) and the extermination of all white people in general.

    Black Panthers
    The Black Panther Party or the BPP (originally the Black Panther Party for Self-Defense) was a revolutionary black nationalist and socialist organization founded by Bobby Seale and Huey Newton in October 1966. The party was active in the United States from 1966 until 1982, then re-organized by Barrack Obama during his term in the White House.

    Black Entertainment Tonight
    Black Entertainment Television (BET) is an American basic cable and satellite television channel that is owned by the BET Networks division of Viacom. It is the most prominent television network targeting African American audiences, and promote hatred towards all white people in America.

    The Democrat Party
    The Democratic Party is one of the two major contemporary political parties in the United States, along with the Republican Party. Tracing its heritage back to Thomas Jefferson and James Madison's Democratic-Republican Party, the modern-day Democratic Party was founded around 1828 by supporters of Andrew Jackson, making it the world's oldest political party, which in every country is against their own people. Their hatred for America started when America was formed back in 1776.

    ISLAM
    Islam is an Abrahamic monotheistic cult teaching that there is only one incomparable God (Allah), and that Muhammad (a pedophile) is the messenger of God. It is the world's largest cult and the fastest-growing major cult in the world, with over 1.8 billion idiot followers or who are known as Muslims. Muslims make up a majority of the population in 49 countries. Islam teaches that God is merciful, all-powerful, and has guided low educated morons through prophets, revealed scriptures and natural signs. The primary scriptures of Islam are the Quran, viewed by Muslims as the verbatim word of God, and the teachings on how to eradicate all Jews and Christians, as well as those who refuse to convert to their cult. World domination is dictated in their Qur’an, especially in Chapters 2, 8, and 9!

    Ku Klux Klan
    The Ku Klux Klan, commonly called the KKK or simply the Klan, is the name of three distinct movements in the United States that have advocated extremist reactionary positions such as white supremacy, white nationalism, anti-immigration and—especially in later iterations—Nordicism, anti-Catholicism, and antisemitism. Historically, the KKK used terrorism—both physical assault and murder—against groups or individuals whom they opposed. All three movements have called for the "purification" of American society and all are considered right-wing extremist organizations, which has been proven to be started by the Democrat party, thereby making them another far-left group.

    NAACP
    The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) is a civil rights organization in the United States, formed in 1909 as a bi-racial organization to advance justice for African Americans, by promoting anti-white hatred.

    Nearly all of my friends that are minorities have stories about being at the receiving end of racial slurs and prejudice. Of course it's not something they get excited to talk about, so the conversation has to manifest naturally. Particularly Texas, one friend who's Asian said people would yell at him to move back home, or say things in the store like 'I bet you don't see this where you're from'. He would think, I know Indiana's backward, but it wasn't that bad. He's relieved to have moved to Seattle recently.

    I agree he's probably racist, but to me a white supremacist is an extreme form of racist. I can't say for sure he's that.

    He's married two women from different countries so he's not a white supremacist because I don't think that goes over well with them.  He is an idiot though.

    His wives were white and one accused him of raping her so I don't think he's overly sensitive to their feelings.

    Interesting video simply because we never really get to see those three together (also, that dude who seems to be praying is an added hilarious bonus - who is that?). Baron Trump is somewhat fascinating to me (yeah yeah, he's not supposed to be because he's a kid), and so is the way Trump treats him.... That is the first time I think I've ever seen Baron not look suicidal, so that's nice... even though he still looks completely uncomfortable with his situation in general. I feel sorry for him.

    I imagine this could be a dinner conversation tonight:

    Child: Mommy, daddy my teacher warned us about not looking at the eclipse unless we have the special eye glasses.

    Parent: Yes, your teacher is correct

    Child: Then why did the president just hold up his finger to look at the eclipse? He didn't have the special glasses on.

    Parent: ????

    You've uncovered a resource that parents need. You know when there's a national tragedy, and there's multiple articles for parents on how to talk to their kids about it. Parents need one on how to talk to their kids about the President.
