    It would probably be a bigger deal if someone I heard of and who was president did something racist vs. a guy I have never heard of

    Really, being a fan of these guys is no longer politically correct?

    I imagine fifteen pages of defending Trump.

    RIGHT WING VICTIMHOOD THREAD ALERT!!!!


    Yeah, it's pretty unfair. I mean, it's reeeeeealllly unfair.

    This dude who has never made any racist public comments in his life, at least as far as most of us probably know, just gets to apologize for an apparent super-gaffe.

    But if this were said by Trump, who has a well-documented lifelong pattern of both racist words, deeds, and deliberate lies, as well as running presidential campaigns on a platform of race-baiting and lies.......well then people would react totally differently!!!!!!!!!

    It's so not fair. You're a victim, bro.

    RGB did the same thing last year. Pretty dumb mix up. I mean you don’t swap them unless you’ve used the wrong one yourself. RGB gets a pass. This guy though. Dumbass.

    I can see this sort of “mistake” happening and wouldn’t judge a person’s racist-factor based upon such a slip-up. I think some of the subsequent self-flagellating apologies are a bit over the top. Heck, it wasn’t that long ago that B Obama indicated his grandmother’s reaction to black men would be that of “typical white women” ….. and he never apologized to “typical white women” for his “stereotypification”.

    So what has Trump said that you consider to be racist that is untrue? Give 2 examples, 1 from the younger Trump and 1 from the older Trump. My guess is you'll come up with zilch?

    Good grief. Would this have gotten more attention if it had come from Trump than it did from a low-profile congressman from Maryland? Of course.
    Would it have gotten more attention if it had come from Biden than it would have had it come from a low-profile Republican congressman? Of course.

    By definition the GOP nominee for POTUS saying something is going to get attention. Water is also wet.

    Would it have gotten near as much attention had it come from Biden that it would have gotten if it had come from Trump? Had it come from Biden it would have been all but forgotten in a couple of weeks. From Trump it would have been front page news for months. Not to mention someone would eventually figure out how to press charges against Trump.

    In that hypothetical did Biden immediately apologize, take accountability, and state that the use of that word is unacceptable? Or did he double down, pretend he did nothing wrong, and then play the victim?

    That's why the similar Trump threads get posted and talked about so much - the inability to apologize and admit he did something wrong.

    well, when it's a completely fictitious scenario, you can make up any result you want, can't you?
