Thing is he isn't doing anything to refute the idea that he's courting racists. Anyone else would have begged the nation's forgiveness for that tweet, but Trump left it up for hours then had his spokeswoman give a half apology and a lame excuse. Same with the logos, both of them. If anything the racism that was always barely concealed with Trump has just been amplified recently when he began to feel he could lose the presidency.

Hence I don't buy the argument. I truly do think it's all on purpose. That white power video for example. Really? You didn't hear the man say white power? And when informed of it, it took you 3 hours to delete it ONCE the black GOP Senator said something? :whistling:

The man is a racist, there's no doubt in my mind. Is he Steven Miller levels? Probably not. I think Trump knows his base. and is priming them with these tweets, and hence his supporters come out with those upside triangles.

Anyways it's a losing game, the country isn't as white as they want it and it's getting browner everyday. Courting the disgruntled white vote isn't a viable long term strategy - especially once Texas flips blue which is only a matter of time.

it seemed like that old guy was being flippant when he said, "yeah you got it, white power white power." after being called racist a few times. it starts with the one guy on the side saying something about "heres your great white hope" or some rubbish, then calls them racist a few times, then the guy in the cart seems to get a screw you attitude and says white power.

also,

those guys cruising around on their little golf carts are just cruising around, but the vile sentiments spewed at them provoking them is okay? jesus people, wtf. if those people puking those insults were trump supporters you guys would be creaming your panties in excitement. why is that kind of thing acceptable when its one way?

When, in your estimation, is it okay to shout 'white power', twice?

Is there a line you can cross?

If so, where is your line?

I don't even care about that guy. The Villages in FL where this video was shot is 75% Republican and 99% white, there's bound to be a white supremacist in the mix, regardless if it was in jest or not.

My question is, why is it ok for the President to tweet that?

Let's at least be intellectually honest here. That wasn't ok.

Like why do we have right wingers here having a discussion about whether or not there is Nazi symbolism. Attacking that piece is pointless, we can go around in circles.

Can we agree that it's not ok for the President of the US to tweet that?

hmm maybe in response to someone saying black power, twice? :unsure:

or how about being flippant in response to being provoked by being called a racist. like in a heated situation, call someone a **** and they reply, "okay then, ill show you a ****".

do you know people are emotional beings or does that only matter one way. is the way those people on the side of the road carry on acceptable to you?

Regardless, Trump is a racist POS and that's the reason why he sees nothing wrong with tweeting it.

1. Where/when did they say black power? I did not see this in the video Trump tweeted.
2. Does it make it ok for the President of the United States to tweet this video?

Well then, let me ask you this, what is a suitable way for some of those emotional beings who have been systematically oppressed for 400 years to express their dissatisfaction?

Apparently, that can't march in protest...

They can't take a knee...

This, it seems, crosses a line for you:

What works for you, access?

Huh?

the question to me did not state in relation to the video.

no president a president shouldnt tweet that. yet we are dealing with trump here, a bombastic crude rich guy who never had to answer to anyone. dont know why its so surprising every time.

you guys are saying its okay to act like those people on the side of the road because something upsets you. its actually says a lot of your characters. so im wondering, would you teach a child to carry on like that and make them believe its the correct way to handle things.

it seems the point of trump showing that tweet was because of the way those people where behaving, as the so called morally superior. things with flinging ****, is that youre going to get some one yourself ..lol

oh bullfuckingshit

nobody today has been oppressed for 400 years.

one group of people are not the only group people to be oppressed for hundreds of years.

Alright kiddo, calm down. No idea why you're this upset. I'd tell you to go protest on the side of the road if anything political mattered to you enough but apparently that's a no go for you. If you felt that way about the Tea Party early 2010's then we are good, at least you are consistent.
