And when he makes presidential speeches, I will hold him to that. When he tweets out to his followers, that's another situation. So he cant every commend anyone ever without including all people in all facets of the sect in which the commended is in AND beyond???? So because he didnt, he is a racist? LMAO. The chain of thinking of some just baffles my mind.
Is it? They are official presidential statements, per the White House. Obviously he can do whatever he wants. That's not why he's a racist. Sounds painful. barfo
Per white house? You may be right, but I havent heard that. Link? Btu the article is using this as evidence of him being racist, which is just ridiculous. Nothing baffling is painful, unless those who are baffling others feel pain in doing so.
Sure, let me google that for you. https://www.cnn.com/2017/06/06/politics/trump-tweets-official-statements/index.html https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2017/nov/14/doj-donald-trump-tweets-are-official-statements-of/ barfo
It was bodyman who said that about Riverman. That truth is stark. I understand Riverman's reason for the ignore, however I see things about bodyman that I respect so I'm not going to ignore him.
I don't think Trump congratulated Bosa and not Murray due to racism. I think he congratulated Bosa because Bosa was the high-profile "MAGA guy." It was a political thing, but not a racist thing. That said, when you make a lifetime of racism (from discriminatory practices with your apartment buildings up through claiming a judge is ruling against you because he's Mexican and saying that there were many fine people in a white supremacist rally), you have to expect that sometimes people will apply a filter of racism to even actions of yours that weren't intended to be so. It's just the cost of business when you purposely play to white nationalism as part of your populism.
Lets bypass that for a moment and go back to my original thought, regardless of official Government tweets or not. Is a leader not able to congratulate a follower of his own party without being claimed a racist for not congratulating someone who is not part of his party? So then Lets say the roles were reversed. A White Maga follower was drafted number 1. A black man who is a democrat and Obama support is drafted number two. Does that make Obama a racist if he congratulates his follower but not the number 1 draft pick? Fair is fair. Would he be considered racist?
Jesus Christ, here's what he said for crying out loud - "Here ya go. I'll write a headline like this about Riverman........... Riverman wants to sew Muslim man in rotting hog carcasses so he can't go to heaven." Here's Riverman's response - "ambulance chasing for posts? whew.....what lengths people will go to to skew a point and cherry pick an ancient rant as some sort of fuel....right out of the orange playbook....creepy" Look, it seems pretty clear to me that all the reasonable discussion about this is entirely lost at this point. It's a dead end and I'm not for wasting my time on dead ends.
Lanny. Body's point was its easy to twist a statement into something it isn't. Body provided an example using one of Rivers statements and twisted it. Not sure what you and/or him aren't understanding about that. The headline was in reference to Rivers quote saying what the headline said.......... So ignore because of lack of understanding... Sounds familiar. To each their own.
I don't understand these questions. If Bosa was a Republican who had just gotten elected, sure, congratulating him and not a Democrat would be completely normal. But Bosa isn't a politician. He's a football player. His getting drafted had literally nothing to do with whether he was a Trump fan or not. Obama simply would not have done that. barfo
I dont follow your logic on the Boas. The first two questions you don't understand were based off the links you provided. To say Obama, or anyone for that matter, simply wouldn't have done that is an assumption unproven. If he HAD, would he be considered racist?
I knew that, but it isn't clear what your questions about the links are. So Obama wasn't president for 8 years? If Obama had a history of doing and saying racist things, then he'd be considered racist. barfo
