You might then have missed your vocation because I would never have guessed it was an act. Very convincing indeed. You could win an Oscar with that degree of skill. Gee your compliments mean a great deal wissy.

You miss the whole point. In 3 cases the countries of origin of the people he was targeting is the USA. Which just shows how dumb he really is. If you dont understand ancestery it's your lack of knowledge.

The vast majority of racism I'm seeing is coming from the left. They are absolutely obsessed with race. Could it be that this "report" is just showing low intelligence = racism and then going the extra step of linking racism to the right wing because it's always suited their narrative? The kind of people who think 0detention centres for illegal immigrants are in fact "concentration camps" are clearly unhinged.
"Being anti-Trump is an obligation to common sense and democracy" Yes, if you are willing to ignore any actual evidence. I think he recent tweet was ill considered and played into the dem's hands by the way but they are awful people who clearly hate their own country or have no concept of what it took to build it. Well that all goes to prove that different people can look at the same scene and see totally different things. I see no racism coming from the "left" or anyone else who opposes Trump. I see plenty of concern about racist tendencies which is completely different. Dismissing objective reports just because they don't match your prejudged narrative is plain stupid, which rather goes to confirm what the report is suggesting. There is overwhelming evidence of why there is a need to counter Trump and all he represents. Those who continue to believe in this style of administration really do need to take a step back and start to see the wood for the forest they have become lost in. Loving your country is not restricted to people who think like you. Self declared "patriots" who want to exclude all those who don't think like them are a danger to their country, and not an asset. Recall Samuel Johnson's famous remark, "patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel"? It seems there are a lot of scoundrels these days in plain sight and not having to hide in refuges any longer.
For the avoidance of doubt any comments in response to a previous post are directed to its ideas and not at any, or all, posters personally. |

If you dont understand ancestery it's your lack of knowledge. Two wrongs don't make a right do they? The idea of reparations for slavery is something that needs to be buried asap. We need to move on. We all know that the political direction of both the major parties in the USA have swung a full circle over the years so trying to blame shift is just nonsensical posturing. Everyone has mixed ancestry. Even you for sure. Where someone is born is what matters. If we start attributing nationality to where someone's parents, grandparents etc etc were born then we are on the pathway to racial cleansing. I don't think that wise and hope no one else does either.

The policies of trump have and are benefiting many millions of all creeds and colours.

This is the same Samuel Johnson who said “The noblest prospect that a Scotchman ever sees is the high road that leads him to England”?

I don't think that wise and hope no one else does either. Really don't agree with that. I was born in London but have always considered myself Welsh. I am sure there are many other people who think the same way. As O'Connell/Wellington said "being born in a stable does not make a man a horse.”

Where you were born is apparently not the deciding factor.
