wellthe video seemed pretty clear to me, ive seen other random ones, though I can't say I've spent a lot of time paying attention to everything he's said. but if you feel it's ok, for someone to instigate hate and violence, by mobilising people to think and feel that somehow migrants and people of colour are the problem, and that white people are angelic and just want their country back (ive yet to figure out from what exactly), then I think you're either just being argumentative with me or simply blind, or because these issues dont effect you personally, you think it's just bullshit. I have no clue. When he says in the video, they used to know their place, and in the good old days, while black protestors are being dragged out of rallies, then really, im not sure whats difficult about putting it together. He's saying it to get the crowd going in certain states where he knows that this racist rhetoric will be appreciated from those supporting him. it doesnt need to be 'in the good old days we used to hang black people', just so it's racists enough for you to get it.

yes to rally people up with a racist agenda that Mexicans are part of the problem.

I do not doubt that there are Mexicans who rape and commit crimes in the US, and I'm sure many of them are also documented and citizens, however, when you blatantly choose a specific race and tell people in a campaign that 'THOSE' specific people are just rapists and criminals, then it is racist. Rape and crime in general is not race specific, and collectively calling out specific groups as being that is racist. I'm sorry but it is.
I'd also question why it happens to be that in the US the prison population is made up of a higher percentage of Mexicans than white Americans.

Id imagine the black lives matter campaign didn't come out of nowhere, but due to injustices that exist within the criminal justice system in the US

idont think he mentioned or is probably even aware of what sharia law is or isn't. his rhetoric is very simple and is pushed to appeal to bigotry of the masses

yeah however most men aren't running for the president of the united states. plus there are countless allegations, and I not I do not think that just because he hasn't been convicted for any of them that it means he's innocent of them.

well im glad you feel safe in Canada as a straight white man!

a nice meme

well regardless of if you think its rude or disrespectful to deport someone who has no right to even be there it's undeniably better for the country to deport them. the only reason to actually keep them there is because its mean and HARD to deport them.

as I said in my response to your post i dont think instigating violence is ok at all and im not defending him on that in the video. im saying that the video is not racist at all he doesnt make any remarks to these black people getting kicked out that could even be seen as racist. i dont know why your mind wants to make it racist so much that he says "get these protesters out of here" "back in the day these protesters knew their place" so what some of the protesters happen to be black hes not saying "black people should learn their place." theres just simply no racism in the video.

illegal immigrants and a CERTAIN group of mexicans are a problem though and i dont think that people should be scared of addressing it because theyll be labeled racist lol. youre misunderstanding his words though, he chooses a specific group of people within "mexicans" and labels them as bad and says "im sure some are good" if theres rapists and criminals in this group of people how is he racist for saying it. stop throwing the race card around so easily.

the black lives matter campaign is a joke lol. statistics show that more white men are killed by cops than black man i think in 2015 it was like double the white men that died. im sure it just goes unreported because the media likes to make it out to be some big race issue. these people are protesting against cops and ignoring the fact that they kill each other in way high rates than police kill them. its arguable that the majority of the killings by cops are justifiable even. not to say there arent some really bad ones because there is and they should be prosecuted imo.

lol your point on sharia law is kind of dumb i think hes completely aware of the danger that muslims present to the country. i dont see a guy trying to protect american people from potential suicide bombings and terrorist attacks or women from being treated poorly is a bad reason to keep muslims out of the country for a little bit. you might say like "oh ur just racist towards muslims!!!" and tbh its hard for me to respect a religion like that. of course there are some great muslims that wouldnt so anything terrible but a lot of them see terrible acts like honor killings as a completely normal thing huehue, or as i said are in favor of sharia law.

your point makes no sense, the video is 10 years old when he wasnt even running for president, he said it then and it surfaced during the election. sure there are allegations such as "he kissed me on the lips" from the models and stuff, id bet its even true, but it pales in comparison to be accused of rape and the shit bill clintons done and i know you say "I KNOW HES A BAD MAN" but hillary supported him through all that and the victims said that she even threatened them. i dont think someone who stands by someone like bill clinton is worthy of respect in anyones eyes. also ive openly stated i think trump is somewhat sexist XD so arguing hes sexist towards women isnt going anywhere.

did you just assume my sexual orientation?? ill have you know i am not a straight white male ;)))))) im not even white or straight actually

also yea hes a pretty cool meme tbh


you are troll right...?? :shock:

I'm not going to repeat myself because we're evidently seeing very different things. I have friends in America, women who are worried about what he may do to certain laws such as abortion, members of the LGBT community genuinely in fear or his presidency, and that's the same for the Muslims community and a large black ad Mexican community.
When your whole campaign has been to rile people up by insinuating that certain groups of people are bad for your country, when you have a large portion of them as citizens and documented, then you are a racist ass hole, and if you think he isn't then he is merely pandering to racists and ignorant people who feel justified then to attack people who are different to them.

im glad to know some old man pressing up against women and kissing them and whatever other disgusting things he may have done isn't so bad, because we can compare him to some other asshole so it's ok.

Please note, I have no defended Hilary Clinton, and I personally don't think what her husband may have done is really her fault, whether she supported him or not. Yes she's wrong to do it, but the man is responsible for his own behaviour, the same for mr. Trump.

but beyond his racist rhetoric he makes many bullshit claims that and Potjeh states are simply not going to happen. His business function and profit because he himself buys cheap labour from abroad or from Mexicans. If he's so eager to improve Americans economic situation, I'd love to see him bring his business back to the states and pay people an actual living wage instead of the pennies I'm sure he's paying abroad.

eitherway, I am Trumped out. He's not my concern, and I hope Farage remains in the US to make it great again...

people who are scared about abortion are fucking retards, his stance on abortion is to ban it unless its rape, incest, or danger to the mother and these are the only reasons it should be a thing. people who go around killing babies as a form of birth control is the most ridiculous thing ive ever seen. i have the exact same opinion as him on abortion pretty much
