I’m voting for Trump because he’s a white man.

[Hammster]

Seems like a legit reason to me.

Seems like a legit reason to me.

Why?

 

[childeye 2]

Trump was born into wealth. He reminds me of a petulant spoiled child that has to get his way.

You have to do what you think is right. If I was voting I'd be voting for Harris because she has values that I support.

Guys, skin color does not matter. Character and policies do. If a man or woman ran for office, but had pro-life ideals, and also protected the environment, I'd vote for him or her, regardless of whether he is black, brown, white, Korean-American, or Klingon-American*. Even the Bible did not look at race. Also, neither candidate fits the bill for me.

Galatians 3:28 (KJV): "There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus."

Do you realise just expressing that opinion might get you jailed in the UK these days?

And in several European countries it would be illegal and quite possibly cause charges.
(because it violates the law that to to discriminate based on race is unlawful).

Not that I am in favour of that, but just FYI ...

For me skin colour is irrelevant - but culture/values/integrity/skills/agenda are important.

I'm not a USA citizen, so I only follow this from a distance; Harris has a very questionable agenda/plans, but Trump also lacks genuinely good ideas/plans to revitalise the economy, balance the federal budget (!), improve productivity, etc.

Saying something that could be considered racist is not illegal. Discriminating against someone because of their race is.

 

[Hammster]

Why?

I’m a white man.

Trump was born into wealth. He reminds me of a petulant spoiled child that has to get his way.

But he’s a white man.

But she’s not a white man.

 

[Hammster]

Saying something that could be considered racist is not illegal. Discriminating against someone because of their race is.

And I didn’t say anything racist.

 

[childeye 2]

I agree, you didn't say anything racist, but you did express negative prejudice against non-white women in post #12.

 

[Hammster]

No I didn’t. It’s a fact that Harris is not a white man.

Your response to @Bradskii indicates the reason you would not vote for Harris is because she's not a white man. Therefore, you are on the record expressing a negative prejudice against non-white women.

I realize the op is intended to be flippant, but that's what can happen when you're being facetious and someone takes you seriously.

There’s a lot of better reasons to express your preference. The people who say we need a woman president make no sense because there’s many other things to focus on and there are many women who would be better candidates than Kamala or Hillary. You are just copying the bad ideas on the other side in a different way.

If Tulsi Gabbard were running against George W Bush or Dick Cheney, I think I’d vote for her.

Many white people are cruel, selfish, egotistical, inconsiderate, devious, lying, power hungry and greedy, the Bill Gates, Fauci types of the world. These white people are behind the wars and chaos as well. Many others are very delusional. Just saying, avoid this thinking and avoid thinking that white people are all bad like some are trying to say.

 

[Truth7t7]

Discriminating against someone because of their race is.

Wrong, there is a select group of discriminating actions that are protected housing, employment. Etc, not all as you suggest

If a black man chooses to give black people a ride in his car and not whites there isn't any law against his prejudice and discrimination

 

[Truth7t7]

Me 2

 

[Truth7t7]

But he’s a white man.

So is Gavin Newsom, Tim Walz, and Mitt Romney and none of the afore mentioned would get my vote

No, I’m expressing support for the white man. You are the one mentioning that she’s non-white.

You make it sound as if it’s wrong to vote for someone based on sex and skin color.
