Trump is a bigot

IN your opinion what is his most "bigoted" policy proposal?

There are so many it's difficult to decide.

 

[C_Clayton_Jones]

Trump is a bigot

IN your opinion what is his most "bigoted" policy proposal?

Hmm...hard to pick just one

Shutting down mosques
Rounding up Mexicans
Spying based on religion
Allowing refugees based on religion

There is nothing bigoted about wanting to enforce our democratically chosen immigration laws.

That you can seriously claim that there is is a good example of how insane the lib dominated Conventional Wisdom is.

Wrong.

That's not what Trump is advocating.

It is bigotry to seek to disadvantage a particular class of immigrants solely because of who they are, where they come from, or what their religion is.

Trump has exhibited bigotry with regard to ethnicity, national origin, and religion – such as seeking to disallow immigrants form coming to the United States because they are Muslim.

Bigotry.

Thy name is Islam.

Liberals cannot figure this out without prodding from reliable liberal sources. Just think of the religion that is more

Homophobic

Racist

Sexist

Bigoted


I can't think of one that is worse.

Why wouldn't tards support them at every turn.

Most on the right can't figure out that this sort of unwarranted hostility toward Muslims and Islam common to many on the right is yet another manifestation of bigotry – this fails as a composition fallacy; it's ignorant, ridiculous, hateful, and wrong.

The OP needs to understand that saying she would throw all Mooooslims (including those serving in the military) out of the country is bigotry.

So, you are making stuff up now.

I said they need to assimilate instead of expecting us to bow to them. Those that believe in sharia law are incompatible with our way of life and something's gotta give. I would rather it not be our constitution. Do you defend Muslims for not allowing women's rights and forcing them to cover their bodies in shame or face consequences? Just curious where you actually stand on women's and gay rights.

I think we should throw all of the refugees that Obama has let in out.

There........true equality.

And this is an example of bigotry with regard to Muslims.

You contrive a lie about Muslims and attempt to propagate that lie: that Muslims 'refuse' to 'assimilate,' and expect 'us to bow to them.'

Who are 'us' – Muslims are 'us,' they're as much a part of America as any other class of persons; your 'us' and 'them' perception constitutes bigotry on your part.

Moreover, the stereotypes you assign to Muslims is likewise bigotry, such as Muslims being hostile to the rights of women and gay Americans, and wanting to compel women to cover their faces.

There are Christians who exhibit the same hostility toward the rights of women and gay Americans, yet you don't assign the same stereotypes to them.

Muslims are no different than anyone else, there are those of good faith and those of bad faith.

How do you round up 11 million Mexicans without harassing millions of innocent Mexicans?

And millions of Hispanic Americans – such as American citizens of Mexican dissent.

Muslims are no different than anyone else, there are those of good faith and those of bad faith.

You might want to check polls of Muslims here in America. The majority are saying it should be a crime to insult Islam and too many of those think death is a reasonable punishment. There are no Muslims protesting the radicals among them and silence is deadly. In Britain, the majority believed in killing for religion. A large number of refugees support ISIS. Do you really think that acceptance of the radicals will cause them to change?

Those that believe in sharia law cannot respect our constitution. Sharia law is their government and because of that, it's impossible for those who practice it to separate church and state. When they are one and the same, it goes against everything we stand for.

"Peaceful" Muslims running a town in Michigan have allowed Muslims, and Muslims only, to ignore laws against disturbing the peace. Starting at 6:00 a.m., people are awakened by the calls to prayer from a loud speak atop the mosques. 5 times a day, people have to listen to that. If you play your stereo too loud, you are guilty of disturbing the peace, yet Muslims can assault everyone's ears and interrupt their peace and their sleep. They favor Islam and are not separating church and state. They have also forbid businesses within a few blocks of mosques to sell liquor. The town has thrived on fantastic night clubs. After the mosque is built downtown, even more restaurants and clubs will not be able to sell liquor. Do you think people will continue to flock to clubs that don't sell alcohol? Businesses will be hurt because of a religion that is being favored by the Muslims running the town. How can you defend that? And it's a perfect example of how they won't assimilate. They change things to suit them instead of respecting the current culture.

Christians protest and express themselves. When they start beating women, they need to be arrested and charged. When they stone women to death for infidelity, they should be arrested and charged. When they throw gays off roof tops, they should be arrested and charged. When they disturb the peace with constant calls to prayer, they should be charged. Otherwise, they can express themselves all day as long as they obey the law. And if they did the things that Muslims across the world are doing, they would be rightfully vilified as a religion of hate. Opinions don't hurt people, actions do.

Big difference between holding views and actively harming or killing people. In virtually every Muslim country, women are oppressed and Christians are either chased out or slaughtered. Gays have been routinely murdered. If you want to know what life here would be like with a large number of Muslims, simply look at countries where they come from. If you choose to believe that they magically change when they enter our country, I can't help you.

Bigot...like racist is being overused to the point nobody cares anymore. Homophobia is reaching that level also

And the new successor, “transphobic”, is stillborn. Few people are going to take seriously an insult based on the premise that it is somehow hateful to understand the differences between men and women and to understand why these differences are important.

 

[Correll]

If those who are being bigots stop being bigots, they won't be called bigots.

That's bullshit. And unworthy of you.

Bigots are bigots, racialists are racialists, and PC from left or right will stop good people from calling such people out.

Bullshit.

What you have, as you should well know, is assholes calling people names to suppress arguments that they cannot defeat honestly.

It is not credible that you do not know this.

Why are you lying for the assholes of the world?

are you really a sociopath who doesn't understand that you're a liar? or do you lie for enjoyment?

Don't be silly.

They did the same thing with racist. it's a way to bully people which is something they know well

When a bigot wants to be a bigot, s/he, including you, if and when you do it, best be ready to stand up. Your inane argument is inane and somewhat dishonest, as well you know. Stand behind what you say, raymond. I think you enjoy lying for the fun of it.

Except I am not a bigot.

When an asshole, s/he, including you, disagrees with me, but can't defend their position on it's merits they call me a bigot.

That does not make me a bigot, that makes them assholes.

True that many on facebook have posted ultimatums to their friends. Those saying that they will unfriend anyone who criticizes Hillary, Sanders, Obama or holds an opposite opinion on some other issue. We all know a few. One of my ex-friends deleted me for changing my profile pic to support Paris after the terrorist attack. After a brief post on my page saying it was heartless that I ignored the suffering of others and yet openly supported Paris, she unfriended me. There was a lot of "shaming" on FB over that one. And few were interested in the fact that the liberal media hadn't made a big deal out of the Christians being slaughtered or numerous other atrocities. FB didn't offer an app to change one's profile pic to support those past victims. People react to what they know about. If the media opts for a brief mention before moving on to other stuff, people don't get riled. Paris had lots of coverage, unlike so many other horrible events.

So, one friend couldn't handle what she called bigotry and hit the delete button. Not much of a loss and I won't miss all the posts praising Bernie Sanders or the dozens of nasty memes bashing Republicans, but I was willing to put up with them for a friend. I have the ability to move past what I find "offensive" and manage to function amid differing views. On rare occassions, I even agree with a few. I didn't automatically dismiss everything. For the most part, it was a matter of scrolling onto the next thing. No need for hostility. I tend not to get political on facebook and prefer to keep things light for the most part. Lots of cat videos and jokes. When I want to debate politics, I come to USMB. Not crazy about hit and run posts that fail to articulate the argument. Get enough of those memes on facebook. Some are funny, but they should back up the argument you put forth and not stand alone.

Some people just absolutely, positively cannot tolerate any opinion that differs from their own. They can't even bear to see a post on their newsfeed that doesn't match their own. Oh, the humanity of having your safe space violated by seeing something you disagree with. Delete the person lest you be exposed to anything that might challenge your ideology. Doesn't bother me though a tad awkward when you encounter the person in the real world and you can see their discomfort as they wonder whether or not they should speak to you. I suspect that some might actually regret acting hastily and hitting the delete button. I bet some feel pretty stupid later when they calm down from the safe space violation and realize they have set themselves up for a few uncomfortable social situations. I mean, being unfriended is such huge deal. Not. Needless to say, the person was not a close friend and I shall go on. I am the one laughing here though maybe I should take pity on people for their ignorance.

I see the words racist and bigot thrown around a lot these days to describe those who dared to express an opinion different from their own. There is a false assumption that they are right and anyone not in total agreement deserves their instant wrath. The part that almost makes you want to laugh at them is the way they are demonstrating what a true bigot does. They refuse to tolerate others with a different view. It's laughable when they accuse the person they disagree with of being what they are actually being.

Should we have a discussion on Facebook's overvaluation now? If you're comprimising your beliefs and principles because some yutz on a website threatens to 'unfriend' you you need to delete your account now because you're a fucking idiot.

 

[Correll]

The OP is the same type that when asked what is a bigot or a racist they cant come up with an answer.

Why?

Because nothing is racist to them. Go ahead and ask them. They will literally not be able to think of one thing that is racist.

oh there are things that are racist to them.... saying that white people should have to open their businesses to those against whom they're bigoted.

How about giving blacks a 300 point SAT bonus in college admissions for being black?

Difficulty in enforcing the law is not bigotry.
