Trump Hat Causes University Spat

Yes, we should have someone in the whitehouse who said
"I’m good at war,” he said. “I’ve had a lot of wars of my own. I’m really good at war. I love war in a certain way, but only when we win.”

That's coming from a draft-dodging asshat who has zero military experience,

Golly, that Clinton was a real coward for never going to Vietnam, huh? 🙂
 
She was clearly selectively emphasizing parts of the story for effect, same as you often might to push a narrative, presumably without accusing yourself of being a liar. For example, when someone you dislike selectively emphasizing parts of the story for effect you evidently accuse them of being a liar on the level of trump.



Just a heads up that the same black people and most other minorities are voting for clinton or pretty much any anyone over the GOP.

Actually, Trump's polling better with the blacks you hate than any Republican candidate since Reagan. Try not to cry 🙂

This is the same poll that the right wing blogs are in love with atm, with trump in a 7% lead over clinton. It's also pretty desperate what doing better than someone who popularized the language of "welfare queens" & such is considered an accomplishment.

It's not "desperate" to point out that he's doing better than any Republican in more than thirty years. Try for reading comprehension next time.

No, it's pretty desperate to cherry pick polls and believe doing better than the welfare queen guy is the pinnacle of racist accomplishment.

Why would getting *more* black support be the "pinnacle of racist accomplishment?" Try making sense next time.
 
Racists these days love to proclaim how many black friends they may or may not have.

Again, that has nothing to do with the question I asked, coward. Here it is again:

Why would getting *more* black support be the "pinnacle of racist accomplishment?"

If the accomplishment is racist, then getting more black support would detract from it, rather than add to it. Instead of "pinnacle" you should've written "nadir." I understand that you don't read what you write before hitting send, but try to think these things through before embarrassing yourself again.

No, bragging about how many black friends they might have, particular in the context of more than the welfare queen guy, is just something racists do.

No one is "bragging about how many black friends they might have," liar. What's happening, to your unrelenting horror, is that Trump is getting more black support than any Republican in the last three decades. Keep pouting though, it's adorable 🙂

No, I'm pretty sure you're bragging about how many black friends trump has, same as when he brags about his african american.
 
Got my Trump hat in the mail today. Y'all self-hating whiteys can't call me racist either, since I'm 0% white.

0% white and 100% stupid! I'm sure that hat is like a badge of honor to you. Look everyone! Look at me, I'm an idiot and I have the hat to prove it!
 
My post, bolded to highlight what I'm talking about.

Both sides have plenty of racists. Both sides have liars. Both sides have almost all the same problems. People defending one side or the other on topics that their side is guilty of is silly. "But your side does it more!" That's typically what goes on around here. The simple fact that you're defending Clinton about sniper fire shows you're such a person.

Your reply, bolded by me.

I find it funny that people so often decry political correctness and then do what you're doing here, which is basically the epitome of political correctness. Both sides have liars and racists, but one side has a hell of a lot more racists and their candidate is a hell of a lot more of a liar. You can't be afraid to call a spade a spade.

You just proved my point to be true. With the, "your side does it more" argument, good job. I have called both candidates terrible, etc. Yet because I don't have the opinion that Trump is much worse than Hillary, you and others have gave me shit for it. They both suck, and I'm not voting for either. I've said this already.

You claim Hillary's racist remarks and lies are ok, yet one's you think by Trump that are, are not. Hillary never said she didn't think they were 'super predators' or that we shouldn't 'bring them to heal'. All she said was she shouldn't have used those words, and she wouldn't use them today. She never admitted she lied and apologized for claiming she came under sniper fire off the plane, just that she misspoke. Yet you seem to forgive her, and not the other side. If you can't see how you're being a hypocrite then I can't help you.

Your claim that one side has a hell of a lot more racists may or may not be true. You don't have facts to back it up. There are disgusting racists from all walks of life. A lot of it depends on where you live, and what media you follow. For myself and my family, it's actually about split evenly. There are posters here from the left who throw out the race card all the time, yet have said racist things. Same as there are from the right. A poster from the left who likes to throw out the race card all the time said racist things about my family. Dividing and conquering is a very old tactic, still very effective. Society is making it an us vs them battle over race again, among other things. It needs to stop. But people like you have to make the other side seem worse, and then put down others who disagree. I'm done going around and around about it. There are a few readers I generally skip past, Texashiker, agent00f, and a few others for being so one sided that they'll defend their side or attack the other side no matter what the evidence says. You're not far behind to me, congratulations.

The woman was wrong to take the hate. I'm sure she supports kneeling for the Anthem, but not wearing the hate. So ignorant, but not uncommon.

Edited to fix bolding issues.

I think you misunderstand, I never argued that your point was wrong, just that your point was dumb. You could make the same argument that both sides do it about literally every politician that has ever lived which makes it a pointless truism.

I never once said they were okay, just that they are so much less than Trump's that comparing the two is silly. As I've said before your false equivalence is the problem here. If you can't see how that has nothing to do with hypocrisy I can't help you.

There of course is evidence to back that up, you realize people study racial resentment, right? Just going to note the irony of declaring there's no evidence in the face of evidence.

As far as your opinion of me goes I'm terribly sad that you think I'm so terrible. I find people's opinion of me on here correlates almost perfectly with how much I agree with them. Imagine that.

The woman was wrong to take the hate. I'm sure she supports kneeling for the Anthem, but not wearing the hate. So ignorant, but not uncommon.

Meh, people are often hypocrites. Apparently free speech advocating conservatives have been giving her death threats for her speech. Such is life.

"Everybody is a liar/racist", ie nobody's a liar/racist, the mantra of liars and racists.

Racism is by definition divide & conquer. Calling out racism only divides out the racists and subsequently makes the world a better place. I don't see the problem with that.

Yep, all the tolerant Democrats have really come out of the woodwork this election. I was rarely discriminated against growing up and I think I've taken more racist, elitist, I-know-what's-best-for-you BS from HRC supporters in the past six months than in my entire lifetime. I didn't get the same vitriol spewed at me by Republicans when I used to vote Democrat. Keep up the good work showing your true colors you racists - it's turned most of my extended family into Trump supporters.

No, bragging about how many black supporters you have is something that politicians running for office do. And even if you weren't seeking election bragging about black friends doesn't invariably mean you're racist, it probably just means you're being egotistical. Racism, boasting, and the racial makeup of your friends are 3 entirely separate things and the Venn Diagram overlap between them might be anywhere from almost complete to almost non-existent.
 
I really greatly dislike Donald Trump - he is a bigoted, brittle, arrogant ignoramus who is as ill-suited to the Presidency as nearly any human being I can conceive of. All of that being said, this is a ridiculous story, and anyone who can't deal with another person wearing a Trump hat is too naive and sensitive to live.

Which is why I'm constantly calling you out 🙂

Lol! Stupid isn't a race so I'm not sure how I'm racist. I'm intolerant to stupid people so I guess that makes me a bigot, I'm fine with that. I'm also not a Democrat so...
And it looks like stupidity runs in your family so I can't put all the blame on you but let me know if you need a safe space to be free of criticism.
