Current Events > Trump literally can't just say "Racism is bad"

(+) Yeah! (+)

How can you be this bad at public relations? All he has to say is white supremacy is wrong and bad, and then the media would have never blew this story up. Instead he decides to try and skate a line and say both sides are bad. Maybe that's true, but context fucking matters. The black panthers and BLM didn't incite violence with a giant rally.

He knows, that without the racist vote, he wouldn't have won.

Im convinced that No matter what Donald Trump does. There will always be a group of basement dwelling weirdos bitching he didnt do enough.

Damn should have read the OP before posting. Wasn't aware this was a 100% troll topic. My apologies Tc, good luck on getting a decent amount of attention that you seek.

You know what I meant, they didn't incite violence yesterday at a giant racist rally. Of course the panthers have a history of being militant, I'm not overlooking that. And I wouldn't even say what Trump said is incorrect, but given the context of the day you'd have to be dumb to make the comment that he made.

I'm pretty convinced a public figure can publicly condemn racism and the only people who would bitch at him are people you don't want to associate with anyway.

I can't believe there are liberals still that think this Trump thing relies on what the media has to say. Nobody that is in the Trump tribe gives a fuck what CNN thinks of the President.

The Nazis at that protest are an important part of his base so of course he isn't going to denounce them.

Seriously the man won an election with the. Media being against him

He has condemned the KKK and white supremacy so many times, yet the media pretended that he didn't and lied about it anyways.

Fair enough, but it's not just the media. Many of his fellow Republicans in congress are calling for him to just straight up say white supremacists are bad, and he still hasn't yet. Maybe he doesn't need the media, but without the support of congress he literally won't be able to get anything substantial done.

Funny all the idiots saying Trump wont call out the racist douchebags yesterday are too busy pointing at their Trump Hate Boner to realized he has condemned the racist pos yday multiple times.

Instead of being crybabies on gamefaqs.....maybe like educate yourselves on the subject.

A president's response to something like this shouldn't be focus-grouped to win approval; it should be a moral response as a representative of the nation. If Trump is unwilling to call out white supremacism because of how it might look to his voters, what is that but political correctness?

The whole idea of Trump is that he doesn't do stuff that he feels pressured to do. What you and I see as obstinate, his followers and supporters see as maintaining independence from corporate media figures that, quite frankly, sold them down the river more times than can be counted anyway.

The Republican senator Cory Gardner of Colorado tweeted: “Mr President – we must call evil by its name. These were white supremacists and this was domestic terrorism.” This was echoed by Senator Orrin Hatch of Utah who lost a brother in the second world war. “We should call evil by its name. My brother didn’t give his life fighting Hitler for Nazi ideas to go unchallenged here at home,” said Hatch on Twitter.

He hasn't condemned them strongly enough, if he did, they wouldn't have voted for him.

Actions speak louder than words. His words say one thing and his actions say another

There's a clip in that video back from 2000 with him condemning David Duke. Like I said, Trump speaks out against racism and white supremacy and the media ignores it and keeps asking him to do it over and over again.

They need someone to tell them that their racism goes against everything this nation is supposed to stand for, and that they are the real traitors. But we shouldn't expect that from a man who wouldn't be president if not for the racist vote.

Because those people are the self-aware, reasonable and intelligent types.

Considering the clear daddy issues it appears plenty of them have, what with their worship of an authority figure that they kiss the ass of, it probably would help.

Not that I disagree with you. But this is basically the same as Obama being unwilling to say RIT.

It's not about fixing their thoughts and behaviors, it's about signaling to the nation that this type of hatred is not welcome in America. I wouldn't expect a KKK member to just straight up change after hearing the President speak out against them, but the people not only here but all around the world need to know that this type of racial hatred is not an American value.

The fact is many thousands of racists voted for Trump, and they expect him to "take their nation back". I just heard David Duke himself say just that on TV.

They are Neo-Nazis. They'll just accuse him of being a "Jewish puppet" of Jared Kushner and Stephen Miller (many already do). It's impossible to reason with such people. They're long gone.

As for the topic, Trump has repeatedly condemned white racism, David Duke, etc. In fact, he strongly condemned Duke in 2000 when he was under no pressure. He dropped out of the "reform party" mainly because Duke had joined it.

Trump won the election on the votes of over 60 million Americans.

Yet he can't do that today. It's almost like you can adopt new beliefs in nearly 20 years.

I really dont get this, i havent shit posted or anything. I understand that my posts that are factually based might upset your simpleton train of thought, but it is not shit posting. Hopefully you become more secure with your intelligence and you actually start adding some insight into serious discussions. But after a couple dozen encounters with you and seeing how you interact with other posters, it seems adding insight or adding anything to a discussion is just not possible for you.

Then how come David Duke is on TV saying that they voted for him, and expect him to stand up for them?

In 2008 David Duke endorsed Obama.

Here is what David Duke had to say when asked about his views regarding President Obama’s candidacy prior to the general election.

“He was a community activist or a black activist. He’s been in the church for 20 years that — and one of the first principles of that church is that they are, quote, “true to Africa,” loyal to Africa. There is nothing wrong with Barack Obama working and having a long career advancing what he sees as the black community interests or the black perceived interests as a group, collective interest, but I did see it as kind of odd that a man of that stripe would become president of the United States. It seems like — I think I should endorse him for president.”
Duke then commends Barack Obama, saying he can “appreciate the fact that he has achieved — that he got a degree. He’s gone to Harvard University. He has been a teacher. I am today a Ph.D. myself.”


It doesnt matter what Trump says or does. Racist assholes will be racist assholes. Trump has been speaking put against racism for decades he was speaking out against rscism and hatred all day yesterday...

But here is TC stomping his heels demanding he say something he already said...so i go back to post #3
