Oh please. "Simply because he's a black man"?
no, because he's full of hot air. Eight years of Obama and the economy was absolute crap. I don't care that he's black; I care that he loved the sound of his own voice and did NOTHING.
NOTHING.
I repeat.
NOTHING.
I really resent that you think all Trump supporters are racist. But I'm used to it. It's tearing the nation apart but hey, easy come, easy go is the new attitude I guess. Civil War is...if not at hand, at hand for our children I guess. It is what it is.
I've never thought nor stated that "all" Trump supporters are racist just like I've never believed or stated that all white people are racist, that would be idiotic as well as untrue since I know better. I was however speaking of the "ignorant" individuals who believe that even when they don't have a pot to piss in, or have a criminal record, or are in fact proud racists, that in their world it's just simply impossible for a black person to ever be "better" in any respect than them. Not even when a mountain of evidence to the contrary is staring them in the face. By definition, those "ignorant" white people are racists and if they're Trump supporters then so be it. It's not like it's a secret that this particular faction exists.
And to be clear I attended college in a small city in Florida where the racists there either were ignorant of the fact that it's inappropriate to use the n-word in the presence of a black person or they just didn't care. Whichever the case, they both are indications of the level of ignorance of which I was speaking because this occured multiple times in the workplace and no one thought anything of it, except apparently me. Not all of my co-workers were racists, not even most, but the ones that were (and their spouses) were blatently so even if they were too ignorant to realize it.
President Obama, contrary to your beliefs did do something which is the reason that we now have so much in-your-face racism, bigotry and animus - he brought people together and gave the nation hope for our future, which apparently infuriated the closet racists and rocked the status quo a little bit. But all the things he said in his Wisconsin speech today were absolutely the truth. I wish you'd listen to what he had to say but understand you're not going to listen to someone whom you don't care for. I wouldn't spend any time listening to Trump speak, I've already heard more than enough and have no patience for liars.
And by the way, I just saw a few days ago one of your responses to a conversation we were maybe a few months ago and I was surprised at your generosity. I was planning on responding but it's been a rough week. In any case I just wanted you to know that I hadn't read & ignored it, I just never saw it until recently.
