Trump is incapable of that.

I thought you were a Proud Bigot of Racism...

Oh don’t get me wrong, Bill Maher is an ass.
I agree with SOME of his politics, but he has this cocky self-righteous know-it-all ‘air’ about him that just puts a bad taste in my mouth.
I didn’t like him when he was just a comedian either, before he went all political.
He’s one of those short guys that over-compensates and THINKS they’re the smartest person in the room.
All said, if you listened to his comment in context you could tell it wasn’t by default racist.
Just saying the “N-Word” doesn’t make someone racist.
See, there’s this thing called CONTEXT... you have to listen to the WHOLE THING someone is saying or writing , and then it’s often wise to put THAT into frame based on what else the person has said and his actions in the past. Then you get a COMPLETE PICTURE. I know you don’t understand this idea of ‘CONTEXT’ and you have the attention span and brain power of a gnat, so I’ll try to simplify it for you.
See Bill’s joke was ‘in poor taste’ and racially insensitive because he used a phrase that historically described a specific ‘class’ of slave in the South before the Civil War. The bad joke he made was actually an insult on himself, but his use of that phrase in the context of his joke minimized how truly awful slavery was/is. He wasn’t attacking people of color, and his history and actions don’t don’t demonstrate a person with an hatred of other races.... so in context and with background info you charlie it up to a bad joke/verbal mistake. We all make verbal flubs once in awhile.
UNDERSTAND?

So see, because he made his joke in poor taste he actually felt bad and apologized.
Has President Trump ever apologized for anything?

Speaking of some Republicans just saying the racist part loud, anybody remember Virginia Governor George Allen? Called a dude a macaca (and also "welcome to America" which made sense since the guy in question was brown-skinned) in a press conference? Good to see that didn't harm him too much, just checked in on how much the Republican party had repudiated this guy. Google him if you wanna see how much the modern Republican party just loathes racists. Party of Lincoln!

1) all you have to do is quote trump on the judge thing.. we will se if it's racist .. or.. nationalistic. --> Mexican is a Nationality.. not a Race..
2) Fred Trump & Donald Trump were sued because the building managers at the Trump Rental Association wouldn't rent to African Americans... back in 1973 ( 46 years ago...).. After two years, the matter settled with a consent decree, signed June 10, 1975. It included the ordinary disclaimer of liability (the settlement was “in no way an admission” of a violation"), but prohibited the Trumps from "discriminating against any person in the terms, conditions, or privileges of sale or rental of a dwelling." ..
so as an example , let's blame Tim Cook because a store clerk at an Apple Store wouldn't sell an iPhone to a Asian.. that means Tim Cook is racist... not the store clerk..
3) as far as the Central Park 5.. trump referred to them as 'thugs' and even wrote in his death penalty ad he ran about the 5 that 'many white, black, Hispanic & Asian families had to give up leisurely strolls in the park over fears of the roaming bands of Thugs & Criminals... '
but you know.. those are all just some of the facts..
people who think Trump is Racist will see Racism in everything he does.. they.. need him to be racist.. but they can never prove it

spurgistan wrote:Those are all racist acts. Curiel is an American judge, so being nationalistic against him would be strange.Donald Trump was 29 when the lawsuit happened, so like 20 years older than the kids he throws in concentration camps. "He's not racists, he just employed racists, as is furthermore a GREAT BUSINESSMAN who only hires THE BEST PEOPLE."Continuing to call five kids who didn't do anything wrong "thugs" with no evidence beyond coerced confessions isn't the defense you think it is. I forgot where he just led a chant at a rally to send Americans back to their home country. my b.edited to close some quotation marks.

... so you still have a problem with ‘context’.
I mean I think I gave a pretty good explanation, but I will admit I’m not a qualified Special Education Teacher... so if the explanation I gave earlier doesn’t work I don’t think I’m going to be able to help you. Sorry!
