Atralis 07/06/18 11:54:42 PM #1:	Obama (a black person) won counties and states that Hillary (a white person) lost. How is that racism? Obama won Michigan by more than 9% in 2012 and Hillary lost in the very same state. Because of race? How do you twist that into a narrative framed around Trump winning Michigan because the people of Michigan are racists? <cite>Atralis posted [p:904629723] in Blaming ra...

Calwings 07/07/18 12:00:11 AM #5:	Blaming racism alone for Trump is ridiculous, but blaming racism for at least having an effect is a perfectly valid assessment. It was a combination of multiple factors, including Trump's lofty promises, Hillary's awful campaign that solely relied on "at least I'm not him" as her main draw, many Democrat voters voting third party or not at all, and yes, Trump enabling racism from his voter base as well. --- "Someday I too will fly... and find you again!" https://imgur.com/zKIVsMQ <cite>Calwings posted [p:904629965] in Blaming ra...

How do you twist that into a narrative framed around Trump winning Michigan because the people of Michigan are racists? Besides what Fluffy and others have said about attributing a voting result to one cause being reductionist, you seem to be implying that you can't be racist towards some groups and not others. --- http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b136/Anteaterking/scan00021.jpg http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b136/Anteaterking/scan00021.jpg <cite>Anteaterking posted [p:904630144] in Blaming ra...

Raikuro 07/07/18 12:09:18 AM #7:	How would you even know if the same people voted in both? Black people that were more compelled to vote for Obama might not have voted at all in 2016, and racist people could have not been compelled to vote until Trump showed up. <cite>Raikuro posted [p:904630360] in Blaming ra...

Shut_TheF---Up 07/07/18 12:11:50 AM #8:	Blaming anything alone sounds ridiculous. That much is obvious But it's also obvious that racism played a hand in it and a notable portion of Trump's voterbase are extremists who despise minorities. And Trump doesn't even dissuade the fucks. <cite>Shut_TheF---Up posted [p:904630497] in Blaming ra... [t:76784440]...</cite> <quote>Blaming anything alone sounds ridiculous.
