Trump: “I’ve rejected the KKK from the time I was 5 years old"
CNN headline: "Trump shockingly admits he was a white supremacist at age 4 in a rare moment of honesty."

My personal test is simple.
If the individual person accusing someone of being a racist would not hate him even a tiny bit less were he to actually be non-racist, then the charge is absolute bullshit and a cover for the other reasons why that individual hates a person.
At that point, it just descends into the realm of "yo-momma" slurs and taunts.
Particularly look at the 1:35 mark of the video.
There are people out there that would stand to lose a lot, both financially and with the status of their peers were they to even question if Trump were a racist.
Do these opinions even matter?

CNN already declared Biden the winner in 2016.

Right. This was kind of a "how long has it been since you stopped beating your wife" type of question of course.

Watch this and tell me Fox isn't mostly influenced by elites, some of the same ones that influence MSM.
At least Tucker is still allowed to mention his name.

I dislike such obvious fake news as Fox.
I think I only actually watch Tucker Carlson, cause the rest of the shows are clearly prepackaged and canned for consumption. Especially Hannity.

Daily mantra on CNN is that your life will be better exponentially as your hatred toward the Orangeman increases.
CNN makes traditional televangelists blush.

Yeah, he got the message. Hateful satire needs to stay on low ratings late night "comedy" shows.

Your source sounds like a Trump-supporting liar to me. Why should I believe him?
Well, you are still back to the conundrum of believing a person's arbitrary interpretations of one's actions and the actual intent.

I disagree with Trump saying that Trump is the least racist person there is anywhere in the world.
Yeah, you are disagreeing with an opinion, like that has never happened before.
Being racist should be like being pregnant, you can't be a little pregnant.

He could be a racist, sure, but there's no actual documentation of his thoughts on race.
So opinions on his views and intentions are best left to Vegas odds and Auguries.

@Death23
I'm sure anyone with a biased opinion can document that opinion well.
Because that's all these "incidents" really are, documented opinions to the intent and the overt psychic mindreading of the president absent of the documentation of the like of Mein Kampf expressing Trump's beliefs on race.
All properly "fact-checked" as politically correct opinions of course.
Wikipedia and the MSM have collected a few negative statements about "they" and "them" and it's up in the air what Trump is really talking about. Is he talking about Criminals that happen to have Black skin or is he saying all people with Black skin are Criminals? Who knows? it's not documented. It's left to a politically correct interpretation.
For example, we know clearly that David Duke and Richard Spencer are racists because we have documentation, not guesswork opinions.

Also when considering yourself a speciest, there can be no exemptions. For example, Hitler would never have knowingly allowed a Jew to serve as part of his cabinet under any circumstance, as you would never knowingly decide to eat roast dog.

Are we assuming that everyone is static and that nobody can change opinions or attitudes after almost 50 years?
According to Critical Race Theory, having white skin makes you an unconscious racist at all points of your life.

Cosmetic phenotype DNA does not determine the ability of a person to assimilate into any culture in any nation on the planet, and phenotypes are shared between people with DNA originating from every place on the planet due to the thousands of years of humans travelling by wheel, boat, and horse.
There are no pure races left on Earth and have not been for a very long time minus maybe 100 people in some remote islands in the Pacific or Indian oceans.

Arguably Trump's support of HBCU's and Opportunity zones are borderline racist.

One of the reasons Hispanics like Trump is because most of them who came here legally fled Marxist nations and have relatives still suffering in Marxist nations.
The liberal professors can't indoctrinate that out of Hispanics.

In a cancel culture, the ideology that is being cancelled is always going to poll badly. That Trump is doing over 40% in the polls is definitely unexpected.

i'm saying a whole lot more trump cultists answered that poll than their size of the real population. Probably because it got spread around some right wing groups. No one should take twitter polls seriously.
Especially among those radical right wing Telemundo veiwers.

Pyrrhic victory. This was supposed to be an opportunity for Biden to heal the fracture within his own party between the establishment and the Marxists, and he allowed Trump to derail him from doing so.

Hillary won all the Debates as well.
For Trump, debates are not meant to be won, they are an opportunity to keep the opponent from getting ANY airtime on MSM.

Green New Deal being deemed bad is curious too.
So why did Biden condemn the Green New Deal?

I never said people are being paid to protest, they are looking to cash in on lawsuits by harassing the police and inciting a reaction.
This is why people travel across states to throw shit at cops just to have the opportunity to cash in. Crime pays well.

Whether you agree or not, these people exist.
They literally make a living agitating people and then suing them in court.
All it takes is to identify a few people with an Orangemanbad agenda, money, and a camera. (cough CNN)
And the script practically writes itself. Maybe I could have given these fringe freaks the benefit of the doubt and write them off as insignificant or perhaps comical, but after the frozen bottles and industrial-grade pyrotechnics, they can all go to hell.

If people around me are throwing ice bottles at the police while I am peacefully protesting, I am gonna just go home before I get caught in the crossfire.
Unless of course I am being paid to take tear gas to the face for a photo op with CNN to show how bad the Orangeman is.

@n8nrgmi
you have it ass backwards. where do you think the two party system came from?
Many Americans are disgusted and concerned about the dysfunction and abysmal results from Washington, D.C. However, this rant is not about adding to the depressing national dialog about politics, but about how to change the system by taking action that will work. Too many people—including many pundits, political scientists, and politicians themselves—are laboring under a misimpression that our political problems are inevitable, or the result of a weakening of the parties, or due to the parties’ ideological incoherence, or because of an increasingly polarized American public. Those who focus on these reasons are looking in the wrong places. The result is that despite all the commentary and attention on politics in recent years, there is still no accepted strategy to reform the system and things keep getting worse. We need a new approach. Our political problems are not due to a single cause, but rather to a failure of the nature of the political competition that has been created. This is a systemic problem. We are not political scientists, political insiders, or political experts. Instead, we bring a new analytical lens to understanding the performance of our political system: the lens of industry competition. This type of analysis has been used for decades to understand competition in other industries and sheds new light on the failure of politics because politics in America has become, over the last several decades, a major industry that works like other industries. We use this lens to put forth an investment thesis for political reform and innovation. What would be required to actually change the political outcomes we are experiencing? What would it take to better align the political system with the public interest and make progress on the nation’s problems? And, which of the many political reforms and innovative ideas that have been proposed would actually alter the trajectory of the system? Politics in America is not a hopeless problem, though it is easy to feel this way given what we experience and read about every day. There are promising reforms already gaining traction including important elements of the strategy we propose. It is up to us as citizens to recapture our democracy—it will not be self-correcting. I invite you to personally engage by investing both your time and resources—and by mobilizing those around you—in what we believe is the greatest challenge facing America today. It is often said that “We in America do not have government by the majority. We have government by the majority who participate.”
Today the challenge for Americans is to participate not only as voters but also to participate in the reform of the political system itself. This is our democracy, and the need is urgent. This rant is about politics, but it is not political. The problem is not Democrats, Republicans, or the existence of parties per se. The problem is not individual politicians; most who seek and hold public office are genuinely seeking to make a positive contribution.
The real problem is the nature of competition in the politics industry, the self-sustaining monopolies with their self-interest in maintaining their status quo power, and the collusion from both sides to quash any threats to those 2 monopolies.
