Mental Illness: Who Is Perpetuating Racial Hate and Animosity?

[Correll]

It is unreasonable and bigoted to think that Trump has to hedge his bets with White Supremacists to "keep his base happy".

I didn't specify White Supremacists, you did. You keep doing that.

From your first post in the thread.

I just quoted the guy. I realize how often his messes have to be cleaned up, but hopefully at some point his followers will begin holding him responsible for his own words.

The "party of responsibility" 'n stuff.
.

You ignored the vast majority of his comments on the issue, and focused on the one time he responded differently and are ignoring the obvious conclusion (blowing off asshole question) to assume that he was sending a message of supporting racism.


That is you encouraging hate and animosity.

I do wish people here would comment on things I actually say, rather than fabricating positions.

I didn't say "he was sending a message of supporting racism", as you claim. What I actually think is that he was afraid to directly answer the question because he knows the nature of many of his supporters, and clumsily danced around it.

I see both sides of this issue. You see only one. If you want to pretend that means I'm "encouraging hate and animosity", that's fine with me. I truly do believe that you truly do believe that, by the way.
.

I see both sides, but there is only that is correct. U say this from thorough examination of both sides. You see, Trump isn't just the president of his supporters, he is president if the entire nation. His supporters are 30 percent of the country. And if he wasn't trying to send a message of supporting racism, he would not care about losing the racists who support him because he would gain more general support from the public. Maybe if he decided not to be "afraid" he would get the support of the majority of the American people. So you have to ask why he choose differently. And no matter how much you claim to see both sides there is only one answer.

Well, there ya go.

You two hash this out.

Libs TODAY, claim that the South is Republicans because of racism.


That make it relevant.


You can't have any healing, if half the country, assumes racism, every time a third of the country disagrees with them.

As you know, I agree with you that the Regressive Left is keeping divisions alive by playing the RACIST game. It's a terribly cynical, dishonest, counter-productive strategy, purely for political advantage, and I hate to see it.

But here's the problem: It's often reinforced by two powerful things. First is the real racism that does still exist. And second is the fact that the Right refuses to admit to any significant degree that racism still exists. You're refusing to hold the Right responsible for its actions. Minorities see that, loud and clear. Daily.

So the Right is making this MUCH easier for the Regressive Left to keep pulling off. Until the Right is willing to look in the mirror, that won't change.

Problem being... the non white, “white supremacists” out number the white ones, ten fold at least...

Or maybe... You’re wrong. And differences do exist. And they matter. Shocking possibility; but, “what if...”?

It makes no sense to me, so I'm not just not good at it.

Instead of finding fault... How about just accepting that there are differences; and respecting them? Rather than imposing so-called “superiority” values on them? Is a Cheetah, superior to a Jaguar? Or are they merely different; and deserve to be respected as such?

Perhaps the “ middle of the roaders” hold us in equal contempt. Because they refuse to accept that differences exist. And, as such represent the gravest of threats? Because they’d like nothing more than for the both of us to cease to exist?

Who said that differences don't exist?

I sure am having a lot of people put words in my mouth today. Not sure why intellectual honesty needs to be so difficult. And please see the second line of my sig for that "middle of the roaders" lie.

As far as the "cease to exist" thing goes, that's silly. I'm convinced that wingers won't be a part of any conversations that lead to healing, and I definitely think that they're making things much worse and more difficult. But "cease to exist"? No. We really are stuck in hyperbole, aren't we?

Trump has repeatedly denounced Duke and racism, yet you keep focusing on the one time he did not.


Donald Trump denounces David Duke, KKK - CNNPolitics



"David Duke is a bad person, who I disavowed on numerous occasions over the years," Trump said on MSNBC's "Morning Joe."

"I disavowed him. I disavowed the KKK," Trump added. "Do you want me to do it again for the 12th time? I disavowed him in the past, I disavow him now."

And no matter how much you claim to see both sides there is only one answer.

Well, there ya go.

You two hash this out.
.

Libs TODAY, claim that the South is Republicans because of racism.


That make it relevant.


You can't have any healing, if half the country, assumes racism, every time a third of the country disagrees with them.

As you know, I agree with you that the Regressive Left is keeping divisions alive by playing the RACIST game. It's a terribly cynical, dishonest, counter-productive strategy, purely for political advantage, and I hate to see it.

But here's the problem: It's often reinforced by two powerful things. First is the real racism that does still exist. And second is the fact that the Right refuses to admit to any significant degree that racism still exists. You're refusing to hold the Right responsible for its actions. Minorities see that, loud and clear. Daily.

So the Right is making this MUCH easier for the Regressive Left to keep pulling off. Until the Right is willing to look in the mirror, that won't change.

Except that reality does not support that view. Real racism, from whites at least, is a fringe.


Trump has repeatedly denounced Duke and racism, yet you keep focusing on the one time he did not.


Donald Trump denounces David Duke, KKK - CNNPolitics



"David Duke is a bad person, who I disavowed on numerous occasions over the years," Trump said on MSNBC's "Morning Joe."

"I disavowed him. I disavowed the KKK," Trump added. "Do you want me to do it again for the 12th time? I disavowed him in the past, I disavow him now."

Great. Now we can move on.
.

Except that you, and people like you, keep going BACK to the one other time.


So, we cannot move on. And that is my point.



Holding on to a false narrative, BY THE LEFT, divides US.
