Black Man owns MSNBC over Trump

[tankbug]

No different viewpoint than any other politicians. Especially Democrats. Get your hand out of the sand, and investigate deeper what each really stand for (and not just now, but in the past decade as well).

Sanders is probably the least selfish politician you've ever had, so I don't know what you're backing that up with. "Greed is good" is the republican motto, and I'm not saying that as an insult. I think that they believe in unregulated business ventures and trickle-down-economy, and that everyone (worhty) in america would be much better off if people were allowed to follow their greed. Unregulated business, but strict social laws, to keep society decent and clean in a biblical way!

Nestle can shut up and sell everything to everyone as it is today, but if the media asked them if they wanted to supply ISIS with delicious brownies, they would probably say no, to let the people know that they feel that ISIS is evil. The KKK is probably very weak today, at least compared to it's height of 4 million members, yet they represent a lot of the things we hate in a modern society, so it's mind-boggling that Trump doesn't distance himself from them now, especially since he has done so previously.

No but if a member (or heck a leader) of ISIS came out and said that they loved delicious Nestle chocolate and Nestle didn't endorse that person and instead just refused to comment on it, would they be accused of supporting ISIS? Or would it be simply written off as the likely smart thing to do?

As a minority I'm telling you having a token black/mexican/asian friend does not mean you cannot be racist.

As a white man, I am telling you that if you are black/mexican/asian and have a white friend that does not mean you cannot be racist.

You're right it works both ways. Which is why its dumb shit logic to claim someone can't speak for a collective while in the same breath pointing and saying "SEE! He's okay with it! We're not racist you guise~~"

Trump is the type of cry who manufacturers racism and xenophobia amongst the poor working class for his own financial and political gain. He isn't racist because he only knows and cares about money but he will manufacturer racial struggles to push his agenda, just like the rich elite during the 1600s, Jim Crow, and the Red Scare.

The saddest thing about it is the game wouldn't work if people would just wise up to it.

[lockedout]

So MSNBC got owned for thinking any of Trump's supporters would care that he's racist and being endorsed by the KKK.

So proud of America! /s

Endorsed by the KKK? Citation needed please.

And Hillary used the confederate flag on buttons back in her 2008 bid for democrat nomination. Same thing Bill did when he went into the "Dixie".

doesn't help that the media focuses on the bullshit and not the actual facts behind the outrage. like him saying we should essentially commit war crimes, no one really talked about why that's utterly horrifying for a presidential candidate to say that, just that he said it.

The sad thing is both political parties do this in order to get votes.

"I don't know who David Duke is, (complete lie) I don't know enough about the KKK's organization to comment on the matter."

It is interesting. He can fly off the handle at a disabled person and insult them, he can without a second thought trash mexican immigrants. He doesn't need any time to consider he wants to murder innocent muslims with bombs, but the KKK? Hold up now, don't want to disparage them without some research!

I was wondering when this would get posted. I laughed so hard at this

[Cthulhu 2020]

Watch it and you will understand the tactics Trump is using.

This sure does explain a lot.

[Wooly]

You see it your way, millions see it a different way.

Trump 2016! Making America Great Again.

This type of short, and meaningless, response is exactly the problem with Trump and his supporters. They don't offer anything substantial, it's all empty-headed rhetoric trying to appeal to as many base instincts as possible.

"America's not Great anymore! But it'll be Great! Because I exude 'Greatness'! Isn't that Great?". There's no thought involved, no counter argument, just bloviation.

You just want to repress as many people as possible because you think everyone else is to blame for your situation. You don't exert any effort other than nodding in agreement to Trump. There are far more people who don't 'see it your way', but we wouldn't want you to deny your own narrative. That'd require introspection.

"There are far more people who don't 'see it your way' - sure thing there, pal, we will see about that at the end of this day.

"You just want to repress as many people as possible because you think everyone else is to blame for your situation. " My situation? WTF are you even talking about? You don't know me and have NO IDEA what my "situation" is. I don't even have a situation.

[Wooly]

Pretty ironic chanting no more hate when you are the ones causing disruption and hate.

Wonder what would happen if I stood at a Obama rally shouting no more hate, you think I would be escorted out? Damn racist escorting me out for standing up against hate!

Obviously you can't be that ignorant, so you must be trolling.

Well, enjoying someone's products is different from an election. If you endorse a politician, it means that you think this person share the same values as you. If you're famous for having controversial views, people and the media will learn of this and wonder if this politician feels the same way as you. That politician can either distance himself from you, which means losing the support you and like-minded people, but gaining more votes from the general public, or he/she can welcome your support, which means gaining a little more support from your group, but losing a lot of favor among the normal voters, or he/she can ignore the whole thing, which basically is saying that he/she is not concerned with your views or opinions, which probably everyone would be feel to be insulting and irresponsible. The only sensible choice in this matter is to distance himself from the tiny group of people with controversial views.

Oh bitch please. There is weeks worth of videos from intelligent people, tons of responses and pages of Trump supporters attempting to respond to your type of nonsense.
The problem isnt that guys response, all he has heard is your regurgitated bullshit expecting another well written lecture. The info is out there. If you don't want to pursue the knowlege of why people want Trump in office then thats on you. *Hint* ( it's not racist or bigoted moivations) Stop being a asshole

[Baium]

If all muslims don't condemn every act of terrorism, they validate, to a degree, what they stand for.

UH SHIT I MEAN, UH-OH

If a Muslim candidate was running for office and ISIS said "we support you" and the candidate didn't then condemn ISIS when directly asked about it, that would be the same.

What your saying is that if every single white person doesn't explicitly, publicly and without prompting condemn every single act of any white idiot out there that kills somebody or ya know, burns a cross outside of another person's home, that they validate, to a degree, what they stand for.

UH SHIT I MEAN, UH-OH

[fengosa]

It is probably worth noting they are the most pro-Trump of any of the big 3 news networks, Joe Scarborough particularly drools over him.

That said, saying Trump is racist is really stupid. Nativist sure but he has been endorsed by plenty of people of each race and he won almost half of the Republican Hispanic vote in Nevada over 2 Hispanic candidates.

1) only 8% of latinos participated in the GOP primaries.
2) 47% of those supported Drumpf which means less than 4% in total.

You're absolutely right about that too.
