This country is divided because of the left not *****

[Lomadeaux]

I remember that meeting, and it was not about race relations, it was about economic opportunities in urban areas. But even if we pretend its the same thing, did the meeting lead to anything concrete?

If the only positive you could find was ***** meeting with his friends...

Hey, dumb a$$.... you listening?

All I can remember is Jim Brown saying that ***** cares for the black community. That's all I can remember him saying about that meeting.

What else you got?

[AllBoxingAD]

Hey, dumb a$$.... you listening?

All I can remember is Jim Brown saying that ***** cares for the black community. That's all I can remember him saying about that meeting.

What else you got?

Ok so in conclusion, as far as you know, *****'s record on race relations begins and ends with Jim Brown saying he cares about the black community. Which, needless to say, is and means nothing.

You said race relations were VERY important to you. Those are your words.

Why arent you asking your president try to do something about it?

[BoxingTech718]

I don’t like ***** but I have voted for other **********s in the past including McCain and Bush. I am a Independent voter and that’s how I’m registered. I think that every voter should choose a candidate based on the issues instead of what team they are on.

***** is just an immoral and disgusting individual. I can’t stand how he conducts himself as a man. The way he acts is whatever in private but it disrespects the office of the president.

Teump is the worst bold faced liar ever. ***** can’t seem to stop lying at all. Even the smallest things he has to lie about like we can’t fact check it online. I can’t believe anything that comes out of his mouth and for me that is the biggest problem with him.

Next ***** seems to have no problem giving legitimacy to racist groups and views. Unless he is pressed to he won’t denounce racist or their beliefs. He’s very careful on how he criticizes them and that tells me all I need to know about that. The fact that multiple prominent racist groups and individuals support ***** speaks volumes to me.

[Illmatic94]

Fake news = things ***** dislikes.

Real news = Fox & Friends.

[TonyGe]

You're confused about what's illegal and what is not. Zimmerman broke ZERO laws. I'm not defending the dude. I'm looking at the entire thing by the standard of the LAW.

Trayvon was looking to steal something or up to no good in other fashions and Zimmerman saw that. He looked for him after he ran away and Trayvon sized him up from a distance while he was hiding and said, "I'mma fu*k this dude up.".

That's what happened. It is what it is. He's your absolute perfect example of what happens time and time again when a marriage fails, the boy lives with the mother and she ends up not being able to control his behavior as he grows older and sends him to live with his dad. By this time it's too late and he's already acting a fool on a daily basis.

The whole reason that case is even KNOWN is because of the FAKE ALTERED news story when it first came out. This is the first news story I can remember that was 100% fake and altered. Then the truth comes out and dumb *****s don't want to believe it.

How do you know that Trevon ran away or was going to steal something because Zimmerman said so?? Trevon is dead so Zimmerman could voice his side of the event with no dispute. I'm not saying he went out with the intent on killing Martin but allowing mentally unstable people to carry guns and participate in operations like neighbourhood watch while armed is a recipe for disaster. Zimmerman as reported by police had a reputation of calling in people that he considered suspicous characters all of whom were Black coincidentally. Predictably it ended badly.

Here Are 13 Examples Of Donald ***** Being Racist

He claims to have "a great relationship with the blacks," which is totally something a normal person would say.

By Lydia O'Connor
Daniel Marans, HuffPost US

********** presidential front-runner Donald ***** may have failed to disavow the Ku Klux Klan in late February, but he’ll have you know he is not racist. In fact, he claims to be “the least racist person that you have ever met,” and last summer he pulled out the old standby about not having a racist bone in his body.

But he hasn’t given us a lot of reason to believe that. In fact, despite *****’s protests to the contrary, he has a long history of saying and doing racist things. It’s not really surprising that he’s won the support and praise of the country’s white supremacists.

Here’s a running list of some of the most glaringly racist things associated with *****. We’re sure we’ll be adding to it soon.


He attacked ****** Gold Star parents

*****’s retaliation against the parents of a ****** U.S. Army officer who died while serving in the Iraq War was a clear low point in a campaign full of hateful rhetoric.

Khizr Khan, the father of the late Army Captain Humayun Khan, spoke out against *****’s bigoted rhetoric and disregard for civil liberties at the ********ic National Convention on July 28. It quickly became the most memorable moment of the convention.

“Let me ask you, have you even read the U.S. Constitution?” Khan asked ***** before pulling a copy of the document from his jacket pocket and holding it up. “I will gladly lend you my copy,” he declared.

Khan’s wife Ghazala Khan, who wears a ****** head scarf, stood at his side during the speech but did not speak.

In response to the devastating speech, ***** seized on Ghazala Khan’s silence to insinuate that she was forbidden from speaking due to the couple’s Islamic faith.

“If you look at his wife, she was standing there. She had nothing to say. She probably, maybe she wasn’t allowed to have anything to say. You tell me,” ***** said in an interview with ABC News that first appeared on July 30.

Ghazala Khan explained in an op-ed in the Washington Post the following day that she could not speak because of grief over her son.

“Walking onto the convention stage, with a huge picture of my son behind me, I could hardly control myself. What mother could?” she wrote. “Donald ***** has children whom he loves. Does he really need to wonder why I did not speak?”

He claimed a judge was biased because “he’s a Mexican”

In May, ***** implied that Gonzalo Curiel, the federal judge presiding over a class action against the for-profit ***** University, could not fairly hear the case because of his Mexican heritage.

“He’s a Mexican,” ***** told CNN of Curiel. “We’re building a wall between here and Mexico. The answer is, he is giving us very unfair rulings — rulings that people can’t even believe.”

Curiel, it should be noted, is an American citizen who was born in Indiana. And as a prosecutor in the late 1990s, he went after Mexican drug cartels, making him a target for assassination by a Tijuana drug lord.

Even members of *****’s own party slammed the racist remarks.

“Claiming a person can’t do their job because of their race is sort of like the textbook definition of a racist comment,” House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) said in a reaction to *****’s comments, though he clarified that he still endorses the nominee.

The comments against Curiel didn’t sit well with the American public either. According to a YouGov poll released in June, 51 percent of those surveyed agreed that *****’s comments were not only wrong, but also racist.Fifty-seven percent of Americans think ***** was wrong to complain against the judge, while just 20 percent think he was right to do so.

When asked whether he would trust a ****** judge, in light of his proposed restrictions on ****** immigration, ***** suggested that such a judge might not be fair to him either.

The Justice Department sued his company ― twice ― for not renting to black people

When ***** was serving as the president of his family’s real estate company, the ***** Management Corporation, in 1973, the Justice Department sued the company for alleged racial discrimination against black people looking to rent apartments in Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island.

The lawsuit charged that the company quoted different rental terms and conditions to black rental candidates than it did with white candidates, and that the company lied to black applicants about apartments not being available. ***** called those accusations “absolutely ridiculous” and sued the Justice Department for $100 million in damages for defamation.

Without admitting wrongdoing, the ***** Management Corporation settled the original lawsuit two years later and promised not to discriminate against black people, Puerto Ricans or other minorities. ***** also agreed to send weekly vacancy lists for his 15,000 apartments to the New York Urban League, a civil rights group, and to allow the NYUL to present qualified applicants for vacancies in certain ***** properties.

Just three years after that, the Justice Department sued the ***** Management Corporation again for allegedly discriminating against black applicants by telling them apartments weren’t available.

In fact, discrimination against black people has been a pattern in his career

Workers at *****’s casinos in Atlantic City, New Jersey, have accused him of racism over the years. The New Jersey Casino Control Commission fined the ***** Plaza Hotel and Casino $200,000 in 1992 because managers would remove African-American card dealers at the request of a certain big-spending gambler. A state appeals court upheld the fine.

The first-person account of at least one black ***** casino employee in Atlantic City suggests the racist practices were consistent with *****’s personal behavior toward black workers.

“When Donald and Ivana came to the casino, the bosses would order all the black people off the floor,” Kip Brown, a former employee at *****’s Castle, told the New Yorker for a September article. “It was the eighties, I was a teen-ager, but I remember it: they put us all in the back.”

***** disparaged his black casino employees as “lazy” in vividly bigoted terms, according to a 1991 book by John O’Donnell, a former president of ***** Plaza Hotel and Casino.

“And isn’t it funny. I’ve got black accountants at ***** Castle and ***** Plaza. Black guys counting my money! I hate it,” O’Donnell recalled ***** saying. “The only kind of people I want counting my money are short guys that wear yarmulkes every day.”

“I think the guy is lazy,” ***** said of a black employee, according to O’Donnell. “And it’s probably not his fault because laziness is a trait in blacks. It really is, I believe that. It’s not anything they can control.”

***** has also faced charges of reneging on commitments to hire black people. In 1996, 20 African Americans in Indiana sued ***** for failing to honor a promise to hire mostly minority workers for a riverboat casino on Lake Michigan.

Apparently Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) does not mind *****'s racism. Sessions endorsed the GOP front-runner on Monday.

He refused to condemn the white supremacists who are campaigning for him

Three times in a row on Feb. 28, ***** sidestepped opportunities to renounce white nationalist and former KKK leader David Duke, who told his radio audience last week that voting for any candidate other than ***** is “really treason to your heritage.”

When asked by CNN’s Jake Tapper if he would condemn Duke and say he didn’t want a vote from him or any other white supremacists, ***** claimed that he didn’t know anything about white supremacists or about Duke himself. When Tapper pressed him twice more, ***** said he couldn’t condemn a group he hadn’t yet researched.

By Feb. 29, ***** was saying that in fact he does disavow Duke, and that the only reason he didn’t do so on CNN was because of a “lousy earpiece.” Video of the exchange, however, shows ***** responding quickly to Tapper’s questions with no apparent difficulty in hearing.

It’s preposterous to think that ***** doesn’t know about white supremacist groups or their sometimes violent support of him. Reports of neo-Nazi groups rallying around ***** go back as far as August.

His white supremacist fan club includes the Daily Stormer, a leading neo-Nazi news site; Richard Spencer, director of the National Policy Institute, which aims to promote the “heritage, identity, and future of European people”; Jared Taylor, editor of American Renaissance, a Virginia-based white nationalist magazine; Michael Hill, head of the League of the South, an Alabama-based white supremacist secessionist group; and Brad Griffin, a member of Hill’s League of the South and author of the popular white supremacist blog Hunter Wallace.

A leader of the Virginia KKK who is backing ***** told a local TV reporter earlier this month, “The reason a lot of Klan members like Donald ***** is because a lot of what he believes, we believe in.”

And most recently, the ***** campaign announced that one of its California primary delegates was William Johnson, chair of the white nationalist American Freedom Party. The ***** campaign subsequently said his inclusion was a mistake, and Johnson withdrew his name at their request.



He questioned whether President ***** was born in the United States

Long before calling Mexican immigrants “criminals” and “rapists,” ***** was a leading proponent of “birtherism,” the racist conspiracy theory that President Barack ***** was not born in the United States and is thus an illegitimate president. ***** claimed in 2011 to have sent people to Hawaii to investigate whether ***** was really born there. He insisted at the time that the researchers “cannot believe what they are finding.”

***** ultimately got the better of *****, releasing his long-form birth certificate and relentlessly mocking the real estate mogul about it at the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner that year.

But ***** continues to insinuate that the president was not born in the country.

“I don’t know where he was born,” ***** said in a speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference in February 2015. (Again, for the record: He was born in Hawaii.)


He treats racial groups as monoliths

Like many racial instigators, ***** often answers accusations of bigotry by loudly protesting that he actually loves the group in question. But that’s just as uncomfortable to hear, because he’s still treating all the members of the group ― all the individual human beings ― as essentially the same and interchangeable. Language is telling, here: Virtually every time ***** mentions a minority group, he uses the definite article the, as in “the Hispanics,” “the ******s” and “the blacks.”

In that sense, *****’s defensive explanations are of a piece with his slander of minorities. Both rely on essentializing racial and ethnic groups, blurring them into simple, monolithic en******, instead of acknowledging that there’s as much variety among ******s and Latinos and black people as there is among white people.

How did ***** respond to the outrage last year that followed his characterization of Mexican immigrants as criminals and rapists?

“I’ll take jobs back from China, I’ll take jobs back from Japan,” ***** said during his visit to the U.S.-Mexican border in July. “The Hispanics are going to get those jobs, and they’re going to love *****.”

"The Hispanics are going to get those jobs, and they're going to love *****." Donald *****, July 2015

How did ***** respond to critics of his proposal to ban ******s from entering the U.S.?

“I’m doing good for the ******s,” ***** told CNN in December. “Many ****** friends of mine are in agreement with me. They say, ‘Donald, you brought something up to the fore that is so brilliant and so fantastic.’”

Not long before he called for a blanket ban on ******s entering the country, ***** was proclaiming his affection for “the ******s,” disagreeing with rival candidate Ben Carson’s claim in September that being a ****** should disqualify someone from running for president.

“I love the ******s. I think they’re great people,” ***** said, insisting that he would be willing to name a ****** to his presidential cabinet.

How did ***** respond to the people who called him out for funding an investigation into whether ***** was born in the United States?

“I have a great relationship with the blacks,” ***** said in April 2011. “I’ve always had a great relationship with the blacks.”

Even when ***** has dropped the definite article “the,” his attempts at praising minority groups he has previously slandered have been offensive.

Look no further than the infamous Cinco de Mayo taco bowl tweet:

Happy #CincoDeMayo! The best taco bowls are made in ***** Tower Grill. I love Hispanics! https://t.co/ufoTeQd8yApic.twitter.com/k01Mc6CuDI
— Donald J. ***** (@realDonald*****) May 5, 2016

Former ********** presidential candidate and Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R) had a good breakdown of everything that was wrong with *****’s comment.

“It’s like eating a watermelon and saying ‘I love African-Americans,’” Bush quipped.

He trashed Native Americans, too

In 1993, when ***** wanted to open a casino in Bridgeport, Connecticut, that would compete with one owned by the Mashantucket Pequot Nation, a local Native American tribe, he told the House subcommittee on Native American Affairs that “they don’t look like Indians to me... They don’t look like Indians to Indians.”

***** then elaborated on those remarks, which were unearthed last year in the Hartford Courant, by saying the mafia had infiltrated Indian casinos.


He encouraged the mob justice that resulted in the wrongful imprisonment of the Central Park Five

In 1989, ***** took out full-page ads in four New York City-area newspapers calling for the return of the death penalty in New York and the expansion of police authority in response to the infamous case of a woman who was beaten and ****d while jogging in Manhattan’s Central Park.

“They should be forced to suffer and, when they kill, they should be executed for their crimes,” ***** wrote, referring to the Central Park attackers and other violent criminals. “I want to hate these murderers and I always will.”

The public outrage over the Central Park jogger ****, at a time when the city was struggling with high crime, led to the wrongful conviction of five teenagers of color known as the Central Park Five.

The men’s convictions were overturned in 2002, after they’d already spent years in prison, when DNA evidence showed they did not commit the crime. Today, their case is considered a cautionary tale about a politicized criminal justice process.

*****, however, still thinks the men are guilty.

He condoned the beating of a Black Lives Matter protester

At a November campaign rally in Alabama, ***** supporters physically attacked an African-American protester after the man began chanting “Black lives matter.” Video of the incident shows the assailants kicking the man after he has already fallen to the ground.

The following day, ***** implied that the attackers were justified.

“Maybe [the protester] should have been roughed up,” he mused. “It was absolutely disgusting what he was doing.”

A black protester at *****'s rally today in Alabama was shoved, tackled, punched & kicked: https://t.co/Aq0wuaAtaxpic.twitter.com/cTRDMtjuBl
— Jeremy Diamond (@JDiamond1) November 21, 2015

*****’s dismissive attitude toward the protester is part of a larger, troubling pattern of instigating violence toward protesters at campaign events that has singled out people of color.

One reason ***** may have exhibited special disdain for that particular demonstrator in November, however, is because he believes the entire Black Lives Matter movement lacks legitimate policy grievances. He alluded to these views in an interview with the New York Times magazine this week when he described Ferguson, Missouri, as one of the most dangerous places in America. The small St. Louis suburb is not even in the top 20 highest-crime municipalities in the country.

He called supporters who beat up a homeless Latino man “passionate”

*****’s racial incitement has already inspired hate crimes. Two brothers arrested in Boston last summer for beating up a homeless Latino man cited *****’s anti-immigrant message when explaining why they did it.

“Donald ***** was right ― all these illegals need to be deported,” one of the men reportedly told police officers.

***** did not even bother to distance himself from them. Instead, he suggested that the men were well-intentioned and had simply gotten carried away.

“I will say that people who are following me are very passionate,” ***** said. “They love this country and they want this country to be great again. They are passionate.”

He stereotyped ***s and shared an anti-Semitic meme created by white supremacists

When ***** addressed the ********** ***ish Coalition in December, he tried to relate to the crowd by invoking the stereotype of ***s as talented and cunning businesspeople.

“I’m a negotiator, like you folks,” ***** told the crowd, touting his book The Art of the Deal.

“Is there anyone who doesn’t renegotiate deals in this room?” ***** said. “Perhaps more than any room I’ve spoken to.”

But that wasn’t even the most offensive thing ***** told his ***ish audience. He implied that he had little chance of earning the ***ish ********** group’s support, because his fealty could not be bought with campaign donations.

“You’re not going to support me, because I don’t want your money,” he said. “You want to control your own politician.”

Ironically, ***** has many close ***ish family members. His daughter Ivanka converted to Judaism in 2009 before marrying the real estate mogul Jared Kushner. ***** and Kushner raise their two children in an observant ***ish home.

Then in July, ***** tweeted an anti-Semitic Hillary Clinton meme that featured a photo of her over a backdrop of $100 bills with a six-pointed ***ish Star of David next to her face.

“Crooked Hillary - - Makes History!” he wrote in the tweet, which also read “Most Corrupt Candidate Ever” over the star.
THE HUFFINGTON POST

The holy symbol was co-opted by the Nazis during World War II when they forced ***s to sew it onto their clothing. Using the symbol over a pile of money is blatantly anti-Semitic and re-enforces hateful stereotypes of ***ish greed.

But ***** insisted the image was harmless.

“The sheriff’s badge ― which is available under Microsoft’s ‘shapes’ ― fit with the theme of corrupt Hillary and that is why I selected it,” he said in a statement.

Mic, however, discovered that the the meme was actually created by white supremacists and could be found on a neo-Nazi forum more than a week before ***** shared it. Additionally, a watermark on the image leads to a Twitter account that regularly tweets racist, ***ist political memes.

He treats African-American supporters as tokens to dispel the idea he is racist

At a campaign appearance in California in June, ***** boasted that he had a black supporter in the crowd, saying “look at my African American over here.”

“Look at him,” ***** continued. “Are you the greatest?”

***** went on to imply that the media conceals his appeal among African Americans by not covering the crowd more attentively.

“We have tremendous African-American support,” he said. “The reason is I’m going to bring jobs back to our country.”

In fact, ***** has the lowest level of African-American support of any ********** presidential nominee since 1948, according to FiveThirtyEight. As of the most recent polling, just 2 percent of black voters plan to vote for him ― fewer than the percentage who plan to vote for Green Party candidate Jill Stein or Libertarian Party nominee Gary Johnson.

It may not be surprising that ***** has brought so much racial animus into the 2016 election cycle, given his family history. His father, Fred *****, was the target of folk singer Woody Guthrie’s lyrics after Guthrie lived for two years in a building owned by ***** pere: “I suppose / Old Man ***** knows / Just how much / Racial hate / He stirred up / In the bloodpot of human hearts.”

And last fall, a news report from 1927 surfaced on the site Boing Boing, revealing that Fred ***** was arrested that year following a KKK riot in Queens. It’s not clear exactly what the elder ***** was doing there or what role he may have played in the riot. Donald *****, for his part, has categorically denied (except when he’s ambiguously denied) that anything of the sort ever happened.

Editor’s note: Donald ***** is a serial liar, rampant xenophobe, racist, misogynist, birther and bully who has repeatedly pledged to ban all ******s ― 1.6 billion members of an entire religion ― from entering the U.S.

[Lomadeaux]

How do you know that Trevon ran away or was going to steal something because Zimmerman said so?? Trevon is dead so Zimmerman could voice his side of the event with no dispute. I'm not saying he went out with the intent on killing Martin but allowing mentally unstable people to carry guns and participate in operations like neighbourhood watch while armed is a recipe for disaster. Zimmerman as reported by police had a reputation of calling in people that he considered suspicous characters all of whom were Black coincidentally. Predictably it ended badly.

It's that way because the EVIDENCE suggests that's EXACTLY what happened.

It's not his fault that happened to be that way. You do realize he helped blacks in the community right?

You, as well as millions of others got caught up in the fake news story. One week later, when the truth came out, you didn't want to hear it. You have to let it go... Trayvon made a horrible decision and began to beat down Zimmerman. There is ZERO way any one of us can weight another humans life. We have zero idea what's going on in that persons head when he's being beaten down.

It's horrible when a young person dies. But this happens time... and time again. Bad parenting will never end.

You can give us 'what if's' all you want. Truth is, the kid was up to no good and decided to be a tough guy... He's out trying to make 'Lean' and doing ***** he should not be doing.
