    You mean like "Whites" are the problem here in the US?
    NOOOOO, he didn't. "rolls eyes".




    Look, this idea being racist is a "whites" only club is the issue and Trump is running with it. I have pointed it out many of times.

    Ahh, the day republicans threw a fit over words.


    Well, so much for free speech. I guess the president isn't afforded that capacity.


    This is the thing guys, free-speech covers all speech. Don't like it? get your fucking ass away from the computer and VOTE...

    Oh man, this is my favorite argument. It is free speech. Here’s where, much like the word “racist”, it gets bastardized. Trump isn’t in jail for what he said. That’s what free speech is. No death squad marched to him and murdered him.

    Now, here’s where the truth is about speech. Just because you CAN say it, doesn’t mean you should. Also, doesn’t mean there aren’t consequences for it. It’s why idiots get fired for Facebook posts. There’s the difference.

    Never said he should but impeachment? LOL He didn't tweet that they were shitholes he said it in a meeting and someone leaked the meeting. There is a huge difference.

    I know this. And I don’t think he should be impeached for that either. But, I’m just talking about the free speech part.

    He was talking shit in a meeting. Its completely understandable for someone of his character and frankly, isn't that big of a deal.

    Tweeting that out would have been a different story. Its a slightly harsher curse word for "deplorable".

    But it's not racism when the mayor says he's going to make New Orleans chocolate again.

    Trump is an idiot. People don't want to leave Norway. They love the socialist state that it is. Everything is taken care of and life is pretty good. People want to leave shithole countries and immigrate here for opportunity. I don't think he understands immigration.

    That wasn't racism at all. It was a chocolate city (majority black) before and it was gonna be a chocolate city again. It was a light hearted way of addressing the paranoia after Katrina that displaced blacks were not going to be allowed back. HUD had a golden opportunity to tear down the old projects and replace them with neighborhoods. They are 1,000 times better. But the people were convinced that HUD under Bush was just gonna tear them down.

    That's what the "chocolate city" issue was about.

    Do you seriously not see that as a racist remark?
