If this fat, drunken, sloppy blob of conservative cookie dough can admit that this country is still systemically racist, it's probably time everyone else finally stopped their denial too.

Really looking forward to Newt vs. The Clinton's part 2 Electric Bugaloo coming soon to an electoral cycle near you. Portland isn't the only place that the spirit of the 90's is alive

Systematically racist against European-Americans (esp males), possibly. They are being demographically displaced at a ridiculous rate. They are portrayed as gay, dumb, racist, or evil in almost every tv show and movie. The only ones that are heros are towing the pc line and fighting for the rights of another group or fighting one of America's imperialistic wars.

Society has been set up in a way that if there is not adequate minority representation in every aspect of life, there is hell to pay. This leads to a reversal of the black man being "the last one hired, and the first on fired".

Many young white kids are filled with self-hatred and see no purpose because they aren't even acknowledged to have a culture or place in our society and if they did assert themselves, they would be called all kinds of names (eg racist, nazi, etc). There are so many people and groups bending over backward to help black people (and that's fine). We need to drop the America's racist crap. If it truely was, we would not have a black president and half the babies born now would not be non-white. It also needs to be recognized that the ruling elite have no interest in keeping america great or white. They want to expand the global plantation.

The average white person is deracinated and apalled by real racism. Society has been restructured in a way that there is no incentive to be racist. The good old boy clubs have been broken up. Individual acts by a few people/assholes does in no way define systemic racism.

Let's fight the common enemy, globalism and corporate hegemony. Newt is just a piece of shit that hasn't done anything good for anyone, white or black.

As a member of the normal white people group, I agree.

I'm gonna give his use of normal a pass on this one. He's trying.

It's easy to not think too deeply about these sensitive issues. And I admit my angy white man rant was just throwing some shit out there for shock value. But I am so tired of hearing the word racist!

As tired as you and MANY other people may genuinely be, I am confident MANY people would prefer to live a life where they didn't need to use it.

I know my friend. My argument was that America is not systemically racist. There are definitely racist assholes but they are exceptions these days. Those goofs will always be there and every race has at least a few.

And I think (hope) things will get better for everyone.

As much as I'd like to believe you I constantly see Donald Trump throwing subtle and not so subtle jabs on an almost daily basis. He is running on the slogan "make America great Again". America has never really been all that great for blacks. When he states stuff like this and receives the level of support that he has received, its difficult to see how racism has gone away. There have been numerous dog whistle stuff placed out there by him, yet he still has received a high degree of support. It still exists, "evolved" as it may be.

LTG, you're probably right about trump sending dogwhistles but it isn't against blacks. Very hard times have fallen on "middle america" where the best you can hope for is to be the store manager at walmart. Donald is appealing to these people. But black americans are suffering too. Donald has no issues with blacks as far as I've seen. He is trying to restore america to economic greatness (not very likely to happen) and not to bring back jim crow laws.

And finally he is not the establishment. The establishment is much worse. It looks at us all as cattle, black or white, and just wants us give us cheap entertainment, sell us crap we dont need while the infrastructure of our country is exported under our noses.

It puts me in a difficult position because newt is always incorrect yet I agree with him
