During today's press conference:

Quote:

Reporter April Ryan, who is black, pressed Trump on his agenda to "fix" inner cities. When she asked, specifically, if Trump would work with members of the Congressional Black Caucus, he asked Ryan if she wanted to set up the meeting for him.

"Are they friends of yours?" Trump asked Ryan. "Set up the meeting. Set up the meeting."

I like how you put racism aside and then addressed another topic about racism though :D



no, elph. no one cares about your juggalo ass.

In what universe? People seem to be getting more, not less, racist, and I'm sure you don't need me to post examples. Even here in Ireland there's violence (admittedly, very sporadic) against minorities and indeed immigrant crime, and I heard two older people say a while back "Why do we need to take them in? Let them go somewhere else!" Fine words, from a so-called Catholic country. Oh no my friend: racism is not only alive and well in the 21st century, it's ****ing thriving, and getting stronger every year.

I don't know if social evolution is truly possible with the way things are, but I think there's some merit to the analysis. Acknowledging racism as a problem all people share instead of just whoever the perceived majority is would be a start to fixing it. That won't happen under a Trump administration here of course...

It was also mentioned that you have some people screaming about white privilege, for instance, but there are many "non-racist" whites who feel as though there are places they are not welcome because they are white.

You'd have to wonder if in Africa there is a bias against white people. I know, given the history of Apartheid, you wouldn't quite blame them, but considering that the overwhelming majority of Africa is black, do the whites feel threatened there? I don't know, but I somehow have the feeling they don't, because racism doesn't seem to be as built-in to Africans as it is to the likes of us. Am I wrong? Is it that they've had to deal with so much **** over the centuries that they wouldn't dream of visiting that on another race? Or is my head up my arse here? I really don't know, but if you hear of violence in African countries it's quite often the same race fighting. Obviously there are ethnic minorities most places, but I think the likes of Sweden, Iceland, Switzerland are examples of places where you don't hear of trouble related to racism. Not saying it's not there, but it's certainly not reported.

I agree with Vowels tbh. Maybe it's an age thing (no disrespect intended) and not growing up among other ethnic groups but definitely where I live if you're to come across racism it will be from someone over a certain age. I've seen it from friend's parents a few times. Only ever seen it once from someone my age, which was quite bad and still feel ashamed I didn't do anything.

That's racism from white people though, of course racism doesn't count when the perpetrator is non white but if it did, I've seen more of that. Wasn't that long ago we had those race riots.

Multitudes of people have been trying to "sort something out" for over a century.

And we can cleary see where that gets us.

Maybe study some ****ing history?

Trump is the current leader of the free world. The planet leans on his every word at this point. To answer that question so flippantly in that setting is one of the most politically embarrassing things I've seen in decades. If not ever.

Take the blinders off dude.

Donald Trump and Congress have already saved Americans almost $3 billion | Rare

From that same website:

Trump channels Fidel Castro on a balcony in the nuttiest presidential press conference ever | Rare

The US budget is approx. 4 trillion dollars. 3 billion is 0.075% of the budget.
Kudos Donald.

That was actually a pretty balanced article. Points out Donald's silliness but also acknowledges the hypocrisy of the media. We need more stuff like that.

Have been watching clips from the impromtu press conference today over and over again. The dude is basically ad-libbing as he goes along. Toss out all of his positive adjectives and the content is basically a steaming pile of completely irrevalent bull****.

Since you like to hoot and holler about everything Trump has done, and will do, or has thought about doing (and rightfully so at your age, I mean that's what old people do, bitch and moan) On an unrelated note, s'plain to me why Marine Le Pen is doing so marvelous in the French elections? I mean she has a lot of the same ideas with border control, oh I dunno telling the E.U. to **** right off. They happen to be building a wall around the Eiffel tower, (see article below because I don't want you to have to go through the trouble of shouting conspiracy theorist or something ludicrous you're elderly I don't want you to get winded. ) Explain it to me. Explain to me the Brexit. Also tell me why you read or still watch CNN when they have been caught lying this past election more times then I can count, like a actual blatant lies and they were unapologetic about it too boot.

Eiffel Tower to be surrounded by $20M bulletproof glass wall by year's end


I get that you are opinionated and loud about it which is fine. But you get quite rude towards people who don't share your views, while telling the person you are talking too in a condescending sophomoric way that they know less then you, or they are stupid, racist __________ (insert mud-sling here.). I'm sure you will live through 4 years of the Donald, and if your party plays better next time around you can have your crap liberal establishment back, maybe with a dash of communism, or an extra heavy sprinkling socialism or maybe it can be an all out tyrannical ''liberal'' society .
If you had any stones you'd look in the mirror, and ask yourself and your Clinton loving cronies or Sanders comrades when did we become the party of fascists? When did our party become the party lying to people with ridiculous lies, tall tales and hollow facts, (just like the right did in the 90's to the left.).

And lastly, why don't you try and actually exchange ideas with Clancy, you'll find him to be very open minded, and incredibly smart, well spoken GENTLEMAN. I can't stress the gentleman part enough, I mean he oozes class brother, but I can see why you are jealous.

Anyway, don't just angrily blindly type back in some non-sensible gas lighting kinda way actually think about my questions and get back to me when you are capable of having a conversation about this without resorting to name calling and insults. I won't tolerate that **** anymore for my views. You are entitled to your ****ed up beliefs and so am I, and healthy debate is what happens naturally in an open society with fresh ideas, electricity, and excitement. (You know, the Western civilized manner in which democracy flourishes.)

That's a blanket analogy. Some people remember Europe before the 28 unelected shadow government called the E.U. showed up. I pointed out the similarities out in the Brexit thread last year and.....

Booo. Those series of questions weren't even lobbed in your direction and you made zero effort to even address anything she said. Instead you went for that lazy response.

I know she didn't address me but there is one area I want to tackle when I get to my laptop and I'm not just typing on my phone.

Don't you mean just like the right is currently doing?

Number 45 has decided that it would be best to wage war against the media/press.

The same media/press that is there to decipher the consistent lies that he tells on a regular basis and attempt to clarify things that he himself has said. Also to question alternative facts that 45 has decided to tell by talking directly to the people through social media. He is definitely on the path to attempting to control the media. He has convinced a large population of the people that all the media does is lies so that he can spread his own misinformation through twitter. Conway is also a tool in his arsenal that is so slippery she can't even be bothered to answer a question properly and ends up just wearing down the interviewer if they aren't good enough to pin her down. She's become so good at it but at the same time if anyone are actually watching those interviews they will be more confused about whatever topic it is after the interview is done.

Exhibit A:


Interesting video and he breaks down every single thing that she does.

Exhibit B:

Why would I want to debate someone who's been lurking on this forum and nursing old grudges like a psychopath for over a year? Besides, this whole forum has debated with Roxy five million times already and everything has already been said. Until she starts taking her meds and stops believing in reptilian overlords and Nazi bases under Antarctica then there's not much to say. Other than to poke fun at her of course.
