Hillary Clinton - They ( black men) All look alike.

Mostly because trumps a racist.  A committed racist, no less, lol.

Hillary is a shit show and trump is a racist.  Both of these statements are simultaneously true, lol.

That's circular logic at it's best.

It would be racist if Trump said it ------> because he's a racist ----------> because he says racist things -----------> they are racist because Trump is a racist


The comment is either racist or not.

The media and Atheist forums folks basically give Trump the least charitable reading all the time.

With good reason IMNSHO.

I don't think there is ever really a good reason to misrepresent what someone says. Irregardless of the person. I always want to have someone's thoughts and ideas as accurate as possible. What possible good does an uncharitable reading do anyone?

For example, if you believe Trump said 'Mexicans are rapists' then you just aren't paying attention or being accurate to what's being said. If you then use that quote as evidence that if Trump said something like this it would be racist then you are stuck in a cycle of partisanship that just clouds your thinking and makes you are dumber person over all. This is irregardless of how much your agree or disagree with a person. I mean how would you even know if you are giving someone an inaccurate or uncharitable reading of everything they say?

My Ph.D. thesis would have been "Translation Error and Bias in the Magic Documents Prior to Dec.7th, 1941 by the US Army's Signals Intercept Service and the US Navy's Op-20G group." The Japanese language specialists had three choices for dubious words, "soft, medium, hard". They invariably used the "hard" choice, making the Japanese appear highly belligerent. (Whether they actually were would have taken up an entire chapter.) The thrust of my study was to discuss whether the choices S.I.S. and Op-20G made were the most appropriate ones in those circumstances.

I think that a similar situation exists here. Our determination of the character of his statements is influenced by our own biases, certainly, but weight should be given to his history.

Holy shit you use lol more than any teenager I've ever seen. 

Anyways, I definitely took it as her using a bit of dry humor. Probably better to steer clear from it as a high profile politician tho. If Trump did the same thing, he would get way more shit for it, but that's because things are usually taken in context (as they should be).

With Swisher's mistake involving two men, I think it was also a playful jab at Swisher being an outspoken lesbian.

It's always hilarious watching conservatives stumble all over themselves to defend their Furher and attack their opponents.

Our species has those who do not fear change and pluralism, and those who are either greedy, and or fear change and pluralism. This has always existed in our species worldwide.

Authoritarians love selling fear, and protecting their power, because that is what great bullies do.
