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

[Duty]

People have far greater difficulty distinguishing between members of other "races" than their own. That's a universal truth. It's not funny, it's a royal socio-political pain in the backside, but whatcha gonna do? Fuck it, why not make a joke about it actually, might diffuse some tension. I actually have a pic of Hillary as my desktop wallpaper. She's fucking brilliant IMO.

I.C.K!

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.

Yeah..sure, I gave you an entire justification for my opinion that our president is a racist in that sentence, and I'm almost certainly wrong because we all know that our president can't be the racist, no racist, you're the racist.  

Please, lol.

The president is a racist.  When a racist says something even racist adjacent, the most efficient explanation for why it came out of their mouth..is their racism.  There's no sense in crying me a river for racists.  They did the work, they put in the time.

Hitlery, otoh, will and is being given shit for, essentially, the fact that she should have known better.
(I know, I know, most killary komplaints are rightwing nutbar hatchet jobs..but she outta know about those too)

I.C.K!

I Can't Know?

[Tiberius]

The comment is either racist or not.

Eh...I disagree. Tone is extremely important. If Trump said it in the way Clinton said it, i.e. as a joke, effectively mocking the interviewer, it wouldn't be racist, even if Trump is a racist. Being a racist doesn't mean you automatically believe every racist stereotype.

However people are right that Trump would catch endless shit for doing the same thing

That's because The Orange Shitgibbon does it all the time and he isn't joking.  Just ask the Central Park Five.

[Duty]

Can you "paraphrase" what happened in the Central Park Five pls Minimalist? I'd never heard of it before and the wiki page leaves me none the wiser.

[Minimalist]

Here you go.

Trump called for death penalty after Central Park jogger attack, and still has no sympathy for accused despite convictions overturned

Long before he became a President who pushed for a ban on Muslims entering the U.S., and railed against Caribbean and African immigrants from “s--thole countries,” Donald Trump called for a return of the death penalty after a group of black and Hispanic teens were arrested and charged in a sexual assault that shocked the city.
Trump spewed his hate — his word — in a full page ad that ran in four New York City newspapers, including the Daily News, after the 1989 arrests of five youths accused of raping and beating a jogger in Central Park.

“BRING BACK THE DEATH PENALTY. BRING BACK OUR POLICE,” the ad screamed in capital letters.
Below it, Trump groused about the loss of civility, and the need for someone to pay.

“What has happened to the respect for authority, the fear of retribution by the courts, society and the police for those who break the law, who want only trespass on the rights of others?” Trump wanted to know.
“I want to hate these muggers and murderers. They should be forced to suffer, and, when they kill, they should be executed for their crimes.”
Central Park Five evidence »
The defendants, Kharey Wise, Antron McCray, Kevin Richardson, Raymond Santana and Yusef Salaam, all had their convictions overturned in 2002 after a prison inmate, Matias Reyes, said he was the one who raped the jogger, and DNA evidence backed his confession.
But even after the Central Park Five were awarded a $41 million settlement from the city in 2014, Trump defiantly refused to back away from the substance of his divisive ad.
He called the settlement “a disgrace,” and “the heist of the century.”
In the ad, and in subsequent interviews, Trump denounced cries of police brutality, and set the tone for the racial backlash he receives even today.
