Your ignorance really knows no bounds does it. Now you are just a guy doing a bit. The "everyone doesn't care race thing is stupid to because if that were the case then why did Trump feel the need to make it a staple of his campaign.

The angry black man routine isn't going to work either. I'm far from that and as Nas correctly surmised I have taken blacks to task when I believed they were wrong too. Unlike you with Trump, I didnt excuse blacks for irrational behavior.

As far as bits I don't do them and I surely wouldn't cavalierly joke about something like this. You must nor really follow the news either. The thousands upon thousands that are protesting against Trump suggest that his election is a big deal. Not all are protesting about race granted but there is a little bit of everything with him.

This is the sort of pushback that should have been expected from someone that ran such a divisive campaign. It's ironic that you are choosing to ignore who Trump happens to be while criticizing others for ignoring what it is that you deem important.

yeah the people protesting are HRC supporters in areas that went for HRC. It is funny when Obama won he went on TV and said"Election is over I won get over it." Dude,Im not excusing his racism, just for me it isnt the end all be all that it is for you. You need to understand that not everyone in the USA has the same viewpoint and values as you. You keep on wit the insults and it sows your level of lack of civility and ability to hold a conversation. As I said there is no way you can be like this in real life.
You are a broken record. This is one of the reasons we can not fix race relations in this country. No matter what white America does it is not enough, we are in the wrong. Black America never accepts any wrong doing or fault in the matter.

What makes it difficult to fix race relations is when you openly elect a racist for President. I am like this in real life. It is interesting that a person that spent the better part of a campaign basically asking me to ignore this dude's racism is once again requesting that I ignore his racism. Now that's consistency for you.

You are also the same person that constantly rails against Muslims yet you want someone to "get over it". You are a running joke that never quite gets its punchline over.

The more you speak about black America the more you sound like Trump. Now blacks don't accept criticism for anything. "Not enough". The election of Trump as President is going to do more to damage race relations in this country than anything I or anyone on this message board will say or do. His views were validated by the people's vote.

I rail against Muslims because their values are not compatible with modern society and they want to either enslave or kill me.


I don't want to pass over it , it should be discussed but it should not and can not be the only thing you talk about. Are you that stupid?
I feel sorry for the people you work with ,as I said if I worked with you and you where like this you would be in front of HR for disrupting the workplace. You know what is fucking sad? The current President spent an hour in a press conference today, his first time talking to the press since the election and the prick did not mention/try to stop the unrest. Yeah,he deserved the Peace Prize he got. The race black vs white thing is a manufacture from the 1% to keep us divided and at each others throat so we do not come together and take back our country from them fucks,ie Rothchilds,Clintons,Rockefellers,Morgans and on. It is because of people like you and Steve who fall into the racial trap and feed upon it that this country is fucked as it is.

Racial trap? The racial trap was manufactured by Trump and actually promoted by people like you. On an innumerable amount of occasions you have stereotyped blacks. You actually have made statements which are similar to Trump though you don't believe that you are a racist. I don't know you in "real life" nor do I care to. If you were President I'd be forced to pay attention.

That is what buffoons like you don't understand. He is the President. If he were still just the CEO of Trump inc. It would not matter. He isn't. He is now the symbol of what this country stands for. He introduced racism not me or anyone else that has a problem with it.

I don't expect you to have much of a problem with his racism. He is not a threat to you. He is a threat to blacks however. Is he going to throw them back in slavery? no. Is he going to resurrect Jim Crow? No. Is he going to help perpetuate the racial and ethnic divide in this country? Very much likely.

You don't see that as a problem and I am really not surprised as to why.

As far as people that I work with I have a very good relationship with them
I'm not a race baiter at all and I socialize with blacks and whites. Actually I was responsible for organizing our social outings for precisely that purpose.

You are so ignorant that Nas just told you that I have been critical of blacks also but that seemed to fly right past you. I'm anything but an apologist and in fact I thought it was wrong for blacks to vote for Obama simply because he was a black guy running for President. I thought we should have looked at his political history first and see if there was anything which spoke to the interests of blacks in there.

I actually believed that it was inappropriate and may lead to a situation where whites would do the same. I hate identity politics. I didn't support Hillary Clinton because she was to be the first woman President I voted for her because she some history of helping disenfranchised people.

I also appreciated the fact that she had a rather loose affiliation with the Black Panther trial of the seventies. You also believed that the Black Panthers were terrorists. Damn you truly are ignorant.

and listen you are a citizen, if he tries to fuck you over there are protections in place and I will stand with you and fight with you so that you are not losing rights or freedoms. Once again,give him a chance. That is what was asked of Obama so please do the same and we will see.

Here is the thing with the Obama comparison. He was handcuffed by race in a lot of respects. Remember how important it was for him to not appear as the "angry black man". He was constantly told that he was the President for " all America". That argument was made by a number of black people too. He virtually ignored the plight of African Americans in most respects also. Black unemployment in this country probably Trumps that of rural whites. I'm fairly certain of that. Obama either never could or didn't want to ever speak on it.
It was so important for him to appear to be the unoffensive black guy and he mostly fulfilled that role.

He garnered a significant amount of white support because of it but the tradeoff is that he missed an opportunity to address what truly afflict blacks in this country. To see Trump so brazenly discuss his own prejudices without politicsl repercussions isn't going to sit well. You accept the outcome but it doesn't mean you have to like it.
