Ok... let me get this straight. I'm an idiot for pointing out that Hillary marched against Martin Luther King's fight for black equality, and she has revered Margaret Sanger who believed all Negroes were criminals at birth and should not be allowed to live in the first place.
You mean she did something she was required to do 1/2 century ago as part of her job.
And you want to compare that to the guy who has a long and well documented past as a racist, who has maintained his racism right up to today, has run a racist campaign, and has courted racists to join his base?
You're not an idiot for pointing out Hillary's past. To try and draw an equivalency between her history and Trump's, yeah, that's far fetched to say the least.
What racist is that Trump retweeted something.
If it was just this, and it was an accident, no foul. But it's not. Trump has a long and well documented past of racist behaviour, and has run a racist campaign. Even his own supporters, at least the honest ones, acknowledge that.
Ryan: Trump’s comments ‘textbook definition’ of racism
Why are Trump's supporters always so keen to deny and ignore the facts? Go ahead, accept Trump's racism, it's the cornerstone of his campaign, and the cornerstone of his base:
Exclusive: Trump supporters more likely to view blacks negatively - Reuters/Ipsos poll
Nearly half of Trump's supporters described African Americans as more "violent" than whites. The same proportion described African Americans as more "criminal" than whites, while 40 percent described them as more "lazy" than whites.
The numbers say nearly half of Trump's supporters are racist, which is no surprise as Trump's policies are racist. And one has to wonder how many lied about their true feelings because they were too embarrassed to come across as racists. What's scary is that according to this poll, if I'm arguing with just two Trump supporters, at least one of them is probably a racist.
