I applaud him. Those 4 idiots have done no work other than trash the pres and this country. They need to go.


They have as much right to complain about things that they don't like as you do, since they're American citizens the same as you are. As far as I know there's no law that says you can't say things that offend people (aren't you the same folks who scream about "political correctness" when someone can't issue a racist tirade against someone?). Besides, correct me if I'm wrong but Trump is the LAST person who should be throwing stones at glass houses since he, along with Clinton (just so you don't think I'm condoning the dems which Trump likes to accuse those who don't agree with him of doing) kissed Epstein's backside for years.

So it's totally not racist that he said four women of differing ethnicity than himself should "go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came"?

And this is without even pointing out that 3 of the 4 were born in the U.S.

White people rarely if ever get told to go back to their countries. Also, Trump lost whatever shred of plausible deniability he had by later admitting it was directed at Ayanna Pressley, Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar, and AOC. That's why it's racist. If Trump had stuck to attacking their policy positions, that would be perfectly fair. But he lacks the intelligence to do so, so he just launches racist personal attacks.

There is so much wrong here I don't even know where to begin.

1. White people do not have a right to be free from criticism. The critics, on the other hand, are protected by the First Amendment.

2. America does not belong to white people. It originally belonged to Native Americans, then white people from Europe literally invaded and settled here illegally.

3. Historically speaking, white people do not have a stellar history of behaving well in countries populated largely by minorities. They tended to exploit and oppress the natives.

Of course white people shouldn't be free from criticism. No one should be that, especially people such as Trump.

What I mean is that nowadays it seems like white people only get criticism and lots of it.
FSS some morons have even started to think that the moon landing was sexist and racist because there was only white men involved.

Which is not true, they couldn't have done it without one brilliant female mathematician/physicist named Katherine Johnson.
She was so good they still asked her for help to verify calculations even years afterwards.

And why they usually send men up in space is because men usually has denser bones and more musclemass which you need in space.

2. America does not belong to white people. It originally belonged to Native Americans, then white people from Europe literally invaded and settled here illegally.


But there is mostly white people who live in US though.

3. Historically speaking, white people do not have a stellar history of behaving well in countries populated largely by minorities. They tended to exploit and oppress the natives.


Well, people were just dumber and ignorant back then and didn't know any better.

But it's a lot better now. We have laws and invented a lot of things that has benefitted the whole human population all over the world.

And I'm sure if it was black people who started to colonise instead of white people, the very same thing would happen.

You might want to ask yourself why you feel the need to keep some manner of racial scorecard. This may come as a shock to you, but white people have done some things that are worthy of being criticized. Instead of complaining and getting defensive, maybe you should cite a specific example of unfair criticism.

The moon landing is the product of a time when minorities and women weren't seriously considered as astronauts. This is despite the fact that women performed better on tests than men.

In the 1950s, before any American had been to space, women were considered good potential candidates for spaceflight. As NASAs first, all-male astronaut class was undergoing rigorous medical and physiological tests to make sure they could survive the shakes and sounds of a rocket launch, Randolph Lovelace, the doctor in charge of the examinations, suspected women might do as well or even better than the men. After all, women are, on average, lighter and smaller than men, and require less oxygen. So he started testing female pilots at his clinic in New Mexico in 1960, subjecting them to the same tests the male candidates faced. Thirteen of 19 women passed the tests, compared to 18 of 32 men. The women did particularly better than the men in isolation tests.

Most people have heard of Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin, but not Katherine Johnson. There's a long history of women's achievements being ignored or co-opted by men.

"Better" is relative. Having a roof over your head is better than being homeless, but if it's leaking and freezing, you still have a long way to go. Ask pretty much any minority, including women, and I guarantee you they will have experienced discrimination of some sort, usually multiple times.

Are you trying to justify racism? Because that's how you're coming across.

Everything is about race/identity and politics nowadays and I'm tired of seeing it.

I don't judge people based on the colour of their skin, I judge them based on their character and their actions.

I have a few foreign friends who are few of the best people I've ever met. They're nice to me and I'm nice to them.
We laugh to things, we help each other. Those sort of things friends do.

When I meet idiots who do nothing but shitty things towards other people(independent of their nationality), I resent them. I try to avoid them as much as possible.

I'm tired of hearing how bad the white man is.
Many of us haven't even done anything wrong and are mostly just trying to live their lives and yet we get lumped together with those who actually have done bad things.

Yeah white people has screwed up a lot of times in the past but don't pretend other races of people never screwed up either.

And besides, doesn't everyone deserve a second chance if they screw up and want to be a better person?

I think the real question is, why are you lumping yourself in with "bad white men" if you're not a bad white man? If someone points out the reality that white men commit more mass shootings, this is not an indictment of you, who I presume has never committed a mass shooting. It's an indictment of white men who commit mass shootings. If the conversation is about white men who are racist or misogynistic, you need to realize the conversation isn't directed at you if you are not a racist or a misogynist. Getting riled up and defensive just makes you unhappy, will cause others to accuse you of being a member of those groups, and does nothing to solve the problems being discussed.

LeetCheet posted...

Now this I can agree with. Racism is abhorrent, evil, inexcusable, and should never be tolerated. But racists are human beings, and treating them as irredeemably evil beings who can never change will not solve the problem of racism in this country. I read a story once of how a former KKK member wound up rejecting his racist past, and became active in a majority black church. What made him start to change was being gently challenged to think critically, and treated with love by his black pastor neighbor. Racism is very often rooted in ignorance and fear; love, compassion and knowledge are the antidotes to that.

I'm not talking about generalizing anyone. I'm talking about making statements like, "most mass shooters in America are white males." That is a fact, but there are people who will take umbrage when this is pointed out. It makes it hard to have serious conversations about race-related issues when people who presumably aren't part of the problem get riled up and defensive.
