But that is what he said. Democrats make the assumption that because Balitmore has a large black population that he was referring to them as rats. They do this because it fits the narrative they want to sell. He can't say anything without it being racist in some way. If he disagrees with a black Democrat on any topic, it is racist. If he disagrees with a women it is misogynistic. If he disagrees with a homosexual it is homophobic. This is an intellectually dishonest strategy the left has used for years.
When you refer to the largest black majority city in America as a “rat-infested infested shithole”, Democrats don’t think he’s calling black people “rats”. And his comments about “What kind of people would live in conditions like that?” is most definitely a racist slur.
The lengths to which Trumpbots will go to defend their racist, xenophobia, hate spewing, white supremacist leader is laughable. As is a white male’s take as to what constitutes racism and misogyny.
You don’t get to decide what’s racist. Minorities decide what they find offensive. A white person claiming that Trump isn’t racist because YOU didn’t find his comments offensive, cuts no ice with the people who are being harmed because of Trump’s lies and racist propaganda.
I guess I must have missed the fact that no white people live in Baltimore when did they all move out.
So whites can not decide what is racist. So only minorities can make that determination. So if someone says that all whites are stupid and want to kill everyone is perfectly ok because a minority did not say it is racist. White people can not March with minorities, they can not say posts are racist, even congress can not decry Trump for being racist because they are not the minority. So even you can not say Trump is racist because you are not a minority.
Love your reasoning. If you want to claim it as that.
It’s not the blacks or the liberals that are saying entire segments of the population must be killed, driven out or in some way eliminated in order to “make America great again”. Every day conservatives on this board are calling for the murder of liberals, Muslims, non-whites.
The mass shootings they’re calling for were happening weekly under this President. Yesterday there were two.
So I guess you are just convenitly forgetting all the mass shootings under 44 or the 23 mass shootings under Clinton.
I guess they just don't fit your narrative.
The volume and frequency of mass shootings has rapidly increased since Trump was elected, as have hate crimes, and attacks on minorities, and non-Christians. What is different under Trump is the number of assailants and perpetrators directly citing the President's racist and violent rhetoric as inspiration for their crimes.
The Florida loon who was sending bombs in the mail to people and news media on Trump's "enemies list". The Coast Guard Leutenant who was amassing a weapons cache for a "Norweigan" style assault, the various shooters already noted upthread who cited Trump's "inspiration" in their manifestos.
Last but not least, white people don't get to say what is racist. Not long ago, I got nailed for referring to Chinese people as "Oriental". I used this word to differentiate between Asians from India or the Phillipines from Chinese and Japanese Asians. I was quickly told that there are oriental carpets, but not people. This was racist, even though the context was anything but, and even though it was not my intention to make a racist comment.
I learned from that exchange and will never use "oriental" in that context again, because it's not my call whether my words offend you or not.
