Yeah, I agree. He had a semi-private sit down with some local Gold Star families, and I think it helped him. He needs to stay focused on Hillary and Obama, and let his surrogates field all of the "small shit" questions. Talking about the Khans should be beneath him with anything other than a "I thank them for their sacrifice, and their son for his service." He is wasting valuable airtime defending against people that he is not in competition with.

He still has 93 days until the election. That, and the debates gives him plenty of time to refocus his efforts. Don't forget, Julian Assange is dedicated to making sure that Hillary loses. He will continue to make carefully timed releases, which should further cripple public opinion of her. All Trump has to do is not do anything that the media can talk about more than those releases.

Yeah i was gonna mention the Assange angle. He supposedly has a ton of shit up his sleeve. All Trump needs to do is hunker down and not go...................

Seems to me like Trumps problem is one that should have been obvious to all from the start. His ego. I have never come across someone in the position hes in so easily baited. He wont keep his mouth shut because he cant. He is, what we call on this site, a mental midget.

Agreed.

BLM should be able to assemble without the white devil invading their peaceful protest.

And it isn't racist if they target whites for being white. Because only whites can be racist. Am I doing it right, my leftist friends?

Depends on your definition of "racism". I think people who subscribe to that thinking base that in order to be "racist", one must have the position and power to systemically oppress other groups of people. Historically, at least in the US, that has pretty much been white men, so technically, under that definition, it is impossible for people of color to be "racist". I think the "appropriate" term when say a black person is discriminating against a white person based on their race is them being "prejudiced".

That's at least what I learned during my years in the race studies department in University. It's all kind of semantics at the end of the day.

It's funny how words and definitions of things change depending on how it advantages certain groups.

"The Man" used to be coded to mean the "white" man, because that's who was in charge. But since the person in charge of the Federal Government and Department of Justice became black, the evil "Man" is no longer the problem. Now, the evil plot is too systemic for them to change.

It's that type of mindset that keeps the ghettos thriving with young black folk. Another fun word is Inferiority Complex.

And those people would be complete fucking idiots who just need to go ahead and get dropped in a blender. Merriem-Webster and every other credible dictionary on planet Earth defines racism as (1) a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race and (2) racial prejudice or discrimination.

All we've got now is a bunch of left-wing ideologue shitbags who want to accuse others of the very racism that runs deep in their own soul.

Quote:Historically, at least in the US, that has pretty much been white men, so technically, under that definition, it is impossible for people of color to be "racist".

What definition would that be? Because there isn't a legitimate dictionary in the world that defines racism as something only white men are capable of. It is completely fucking asinine.

Quote:I think the "appropriate" term when say a black person is discriminating against a white person based on their race is them being "prejudiced".

No. The appropriate definition would be racist. One can be prejudiced in relation to a number of characteristics that have no connect with race. Prejudice based on race is racism. You know good and well you aren't going to get that over on me.

And there you are. University. The place kids go to get stupid. And the fact that you actually participated in "race studies" tells me all I need to know. I'm being nice by not saying anything else.

[Snoop]

I'm wasn't trying to argue with you, just explaining why that saying exists.

No need for insults, dude.
