    Yeah a few of these nut jobs turn into real problems.
    But for the most part I look at them as those who lost the race for success in society. That’s why they’re angry. So in that sense, any of us here who take the time to acknowledge them or fear them give them the relevance and importance they so desperately crave.
    I’m all for the police tracking them down though.

    You stepped into that one.....If you are going to bring up 20 year old law suits then you have to accept the "collage of Trump photos taken with black people 20 years ago" that I posted that was rejected because some of the pictures were 20 years old.

    "Trump can't be racist. He took pictures with Black people." You're definitely the poster I'd expect to make that argument.

    It was rejected not because of the 20 years ago. It was rejected because the fact that he stood next to people doesn't mean he thinks they are his equal.

    I said 3 to 1
    In 2007, Biden referred to Obama as “the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean.”

    In 2006, he said, “You cannot go to a 7-Eleven or a Dunkin’ Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent.”

    Way back in 1977, he said that forced busing to desegregate schools would cause his children to “grow up in a racial jungle.”
    Keep them coming.

    I'm shocked that a lawyer would put something in quotes that is not a direct quote. Isn't that a little dishonest? Bet you wouldn't do that in court.

    Choosing the color green over any other color is NOT racist.

    This isn't court, and everybody can read what you said.

    I personally don’t think he’s racist but I wasn’t sure until I saw the photo of him with Muhammad Ali.

    I listed 3 (which actually contained 6 different events). Good luck.

    It would be harder to paint Trump as a racist if he had chosen the color green instead of the color white. But he didn't, per the housing discrimination lawsuit.

    Yeah, that was the weird part of that reply. None of those events made him more money.

    His "supporters" are not racist. SOME of them are. To lump everyone there is nonsense.

    We don’t know if the people who left these flyers are right wing anti-Semites or left wing anti-Semites. Both are the same to me.

    When we moved to Gainesville for my junior year we bought a house in Northwood Pines. I had to put up a yard sign saying the Iranians don't live here any more......We bought our house from an Iranian family and right after we closed the Iran Hostage situation came up. I don't that was particularly racist. For a couple of weeks after the hostages were taken we were afraid someone would burn the house down thinking the Iranians still lived there.
