Over a racially-charged situation. Smoke and fire, ya know.So it was a call to reinstate the death penalty, not specifically racist.
If you're not trying to excuse what Trump said, then why are anyone else's similar words be relevant? Joe Biden said that - it was racist. Trump said what he said - that was racist too. And racial prejudice is absolutely racism.Because it shows someone of about the same age with a similar attitude. Prejudice is not racism.
Oh please.Maybe so, not necessarily.
I'm not saying he didn't have a reason for his attacks. But the fact that he chose to attack them based on their race was, you guessed it, racist!This is only prejudice. He had a predetermined idea of what an Indian would look like, and they didn't look like that. And actually, in that timeframe, there was a large consensus that didn't want Indian-run casinos at all. Especially casino owners in Las Vegas, Reno and Atlantic City. They wanted to be the only game in town.
Got any evidence for your statements? And if that's the real reason, why didn't you start with it?Well, let's be honest. "We" haven't. You just think you have. Secondly, it was to be an Islamic Community Center AND MOSQUE. It was reported, at the time, that people didn't know what the building was going to be. So a coherent reason for opposing it would be "they weren't being honest about what it was going to be."
I have clearly established that your original claim that was going to be "on top of" Ground Zero was 100% false. It wasn't going to be on top of, or even across the street from, Ground Zero.
You clearly don't understand the meaning of the word "average." A discussion of the average SAT score of 67 students isn't really relevant to the score of one of those individuals. Furthermore, it's entirely possible that he bombed his SAT. There are multiple reasons why that might have happened. However, he took the SAT three years before going to Columbia. That's a lot of time for a teenager to change and get his act together. Even if he did have a bad SAT, it's not unreasonable for his accomplishments at Occidental to have evened things out. Clearly, his accomplishments after being admitted to Columbia speak to his intelligence.You didn't look very far. Third from the top was this: Did Obama get worse grades than Bush?

Also, Google gives everyone different search results based on their history. That article never showed up for me, even several pages in.
