so im just a simple boy paging through the old internet when i encounter this comment causing some controversy. immediately in my gut, i feel the twinge - that's a racist comment against my future mother-in-law. but then i reconsidered.
Deck Knight Ary Old_Gregg Kl4ng UncleSam Josh manodelrey sunny004, you guys seem like some dudes who have been awakened to what fake left "racism" is and isnt. can you tell me if this is racist? perhaps my racism sensor had been knocked out of place by the massive amounts of Gay Shit ive had penetrate me while reading lena dunham's yelp reviews of brooklyn abortion clinics as john oliver shills in the background. perhaps my reading of racism is a result of my liberal liberal arts education. maybe this is just the economic anxiety of Pamela Ramsey Taylor being expressed in a way i, a weak liberal, cannot understand. perhaps i am
this brainwashed in the words of lord Deck. i cant even tell if the gas lamps in this room are on or off, much less what political correctness looks like. im pleading with you guys sincerely, please help. Is this racist?
I'm just going to leave this here and will elaborate sometime later if anyone has ?s
1)
Noooo, totally NOT racist. I mean, was it the "dignified" part of plagiarizer Melania Trump, or the goddamn "Ape in heels"? Seriously. What I'm merely trying to do is sift bullshit from actual, credible arguments. Sorry if that comes off as racist to you, but I, personally, am tired of seeing baseless arguments being thrown around this debate. It just so happens that most of my stuff comes against the left, because you guys seem to have the anti-bullshit (and there's a lot of bullshit) coming from the Right handled, and I want to keep a somewhat fair argument, and provide a constructive debate by arguing from the other side of the spectrum (even if I don't agree with some of their views).
2) I'm not a really big facebook user, but that blue circle on the bottom left makes it look like you liked her post. Exposed! (Not really :o)
3) What this seems to be to me, however off topic it may seem from the election or its results, is an attempt to bash the right for being racist and supporting a supposedly "racist" candidate. While Trump certainly has those undertones, I have yet to see any speech that
directly assaults Black, Latino, or ethnic minorities.
(Bear in mind that a: I haven't SEEN any evidence, so I may be wrong. Feel free to prove me wrong with legitimate facts. and b: This means legitimate speech against them, not something like the language towards Illegal immigrants (which, however abhorrent, is not a racial group). I'm talking something along the lines of "black ppl are inferior beings b/c they make less money".)
Trump's suggestive language served to embolden a previously silent and hidden group of white nationalists, and separately, but not coincidentally, the rise of the alt-right. The fact remains that the racial divide between the majority white population and racial minorities is still very open and real. (I'm a cis-gender white male in the upper 5% of household incomes; I'm qualified on stuck-up, privileged white people lol). Today, many whites (not me) feel that they are being left out, and forgotten, by society. They feel like diversity, over the well-being of all Americans, has become the chief goal of the government. Trump's successful exploitation of those fears, which helped boost rural white turnout, along with HRC's perceived corruption, which depressed turnout among democrats, is what helped to elect him.

I'm not saying that I agree with these viewpoints, just saying that's what I feel caused the result of this election.
I probably made some clerical errors as well as some gaps in that wall of text, so feel free to call me out or something and I will explain.
