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.

I agree obviously. I think she was mocking the reporter for confusing black congressmen. But if Trump did tell same, in the same tone. People in the media and on these forums would lose their fucking minds. I have no doubt.

Because context and personal history matter.

Yeah, 2016 has shown that even when Hillary Clinton wins, she still loses.

Lol..

When I see this story on major network TV, or even NPR, then I will consider it covered.

If Trump said the same thing - it would be a headline for days.

You' re lying to yourself if you believe otherwise.

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?
It assumes it's uncharitable

It ain't nothing creepy, just a pic of her shaking hands with a doctor in Estonia back in the day, while investigating how to improve the US healthcare system, through bringing about universal healthcare. I find it inspirational. No ick factor in sight. Bad dog Tut Tut

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

Blimey. Thanks for the info, distasteful as it is. I guess admitting an error is not compatible with being a racist narcissistic demagogue.
