    Keep looking at the shiny object and dont pay attention to the man behind the curtain there sir 02_small.jpg . We "adoring base deplorables" understand what Trump is doing; "fundamentally changing what Obama, Hillary and Bernie wanted to do to our country".

    "Racist" has become a hollow word, almost a joke, due to over and mostly inappropriate use.

    For the most part, it now means, "I do not agree with you, but I have nothing to back up the reason I disagree."

    This! There is some racism still left in America but every time someone disagrees or the other party gets their feelings hurt the word racist is used against them. A civil rights activist got her feelings hurt so now the NAACP says American Airlines promotes a culture of racism??? It's. Ridiculous. The sad thing is, when there is true racism present, it gets lost due to the overuse of the word

    However racism againt whites and Asian and to some extent hispanic people are ignored. Religious people and in particular Catholics are discriminated against with few repercussions. Am I wrong on this?

    A lot of words that were once used for extremes are now hollow.
