There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there always has been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that “my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge." - Isaac Asimov
Riiiiight, one candidate. The candidate that was voted to represent their party to enact their policies at the highest level. Are you saying that even though he was voted to be the representative of the Republican Party, he is not representative of the Republican Party?
Okaaaaaay.
No he isn't representative of the Republican party. He has split the Republican party. I don't know if you noticed or not Trump has the nomination because the Republican establishment tried to force Bush on the voters and they rebelled. Hell, how the fuck do you think Cruz, Rubio and others even got elected to their positions?
You honestly think the Republican party and voters hate Hispanics? Come on...

Why did they vote for him then? You are still trying to say the person who they voted to be the representative of their party is somehow not the representative of their party.
Keep living in denial, it's a happy place, but in order to function in society, you can't make up your own realty. You seem to have a lot of personality traits in common with Trump.
Riiiight, show me all those Democrat governors who raised the minimum wage to a "livable" wage before Occupy etc..

You do realize you can vote for someone and not be 100% in agreement with all their policies? You realize people could vote for someone because of their stance on gun rights and not for their stance on North Korea right?
Youd have a point if Trumps anti-Muslim and anti-Hispanic stances weren't pretty much the entire point of his campaign.
Sorry, the republicans voted Trump. Trump is now the Republican Party, and the Republican Party is trump.
This goes back to the original point - if they truly wanted to reach out to the Hispanic community, they wouldn't have voted in a racist. The tepublican votes clearly didn't think the negative of his racism was enough of a problem. Way to show you care about inclusion.
No, they voted for him because he was anti establishment. You don't get it because you are happy with how the establishment in both parties fucked us voters over the last 20 years.
The point of his campaign is jobs. He appeals to people who have seen their jobs outsourced. He can't bring them back, but the people who are unemployed or underemployed don't want to hear that. They want jobs.

k im asian brown and not rich.
slavery was the greatest thing to happen to blacks in america. if not for slavery they simply would not exist. how is that not bad? many people have the facts of slavery wrong. blacks were able to own blacks. blacks were able to read, write and even become lawyers/lawmakers. blacks were able to buy their freedom or be freed at theirs master's discretion which happened quite often. at the inception of USA slavery was banned in many states. people dont even know that, they think slavery was everywhere in USA. so many mistakes by people that refuse to listen and just want to label it "horrible". look at the people living in africa right NOW. that is HORRIBLE. get over it black people in america, you have it good and all due to slavery.

Well for any of you totally beat down White people who think that reparations are a good idea, they've now got a site for that:
http://www.reparations.me/
It's not a joke, it's a "social experiment" by some lunatic 'conceptual artist' that according to the About page, thinks this is "doing something meaningful"
The front page is full of requests and offerings. I could barely make it through a few pages of this shit. People who never were slaves trying to guilt trip and take advantage of those already tripped. Fucking disgusting. You can even donate cash because hey, that's what all this is about at the end of the day. Paybacks and supposed guilt.What if you actually did something meaningful for someone before the end of the year?
What if a stranger restored your belief in humanity, if only for a moment, by supporting you and allowing you to claim something you need in a material way?
I invite People of Color to ask for what we need to feel better, be happier, be more productive by posting in this space. These may be both material and immaterial requests.
I invite people who identify as White to offer services or contributions to People of Color in need of time, energy, substantive care, and support.
I don't want to put limitations on this social experiment, but here's how I imagine it might work:
POC 1: I need a massage. This week.
White Person 1: [posts Groupon with code for redemption]
POC2: I need therapy. I can spend $10 a session.
White Person 2: [posts contact information to a therapist who they have made arrangements with.]
POC 3: I need groceries.
White Person 3: "I'll get them for you. PM me and I'll send an Amazon Fresh or Safeway delivery. You just pick out what you want. I have a $200 limit."
POC 4: I'm too upset to make dinner. I live in Seattle.
White Person 4: "Come over to my house for dinner, bring a friend if you like. PM me and I'll send you the address, or can I order delivery to you? What kind of food do you like?"
POC 5: I need a quiet place to work on _________.
White Person 5: "I have an office, spare room, house, that will be unoccupied on the following dates, would you like to use that space? I can send pictures ..."
POC 6: I want to scream and cuss at someone.
White Person 6: "I volunteer as tribute. How do we set this up?"
POC 7: I want to escape this cruel world in a *Specific Videogame* but can't afford it on Steam right now. This is not a crisis, I just don't trust people easily and want to see if this works.
White Person 7: Thank you for giving me the chance to do something concrete and relatively easy. I was quietly hating myself for doing nothing.

Banned at least 10 times. Don't give a fuck, going to keep saying what I want how I want to.
Eat meat. Drink water. Do cardio and burpees. The good life.
you can get all haughty about slavery being that bad or whatever but it'd be nice if you had some weight behind that statement
like, oh, i don't know. people that actually want to live in africa.
no cops there to kill them. just other niggas that don't like you. they aint got healthcare over there and nobody gonna take care of you when a hippo fucks you up or a bug from over there bites you. they ain't got no A/C over there. It's hot as fuck.
like lol before we built this country all that there was to do, was work

And apparently they'll vote for anyone, including a thin skinned, idiotic, whiny, scummy, racist dirtbag.
They could have voted for anyone else, but they chose him.
You keep denying it, it's really pathetic. The republicans chose trump to be their representative. If they don't care about his flaws, that's just as important as them voting for his qualities.
