Wait, I don’t need Fox to tell me this. I know they are evil by their actions.

I think it's more fair to say that, throughout the course of his life, he has been largely indifferent to racial issues...and in some instances, taken advantage of them. This doesn't make him an outlier...it makes him a 70 year old American.

He and his father, as I'm sure you know, were subject to a consent decree from the US government around racial issues in housing.

I personally believe he isn't actually prejudiced at all. I think he is just deeply uninterested (see his remark about Frederick Douglass.)

That is to say, I think he has close to zero or zero negative thoughts or hatred as pertaining to any specific individual he comes across just because they're black (or whatever.)

Your ex is being unproductive and facile.

Re the 3 women, he has been accused of a variety of sexual misconduct.

Credible or not credible, they have made the accusations.

I would flip it back onto your ex re the Clintons. What does she say about ol' Bill?

The media and the left is full of isms for anyone that opposes them.

They cycle through them repeatedly.

Here's some ammo for you on Biden.

22 sec Mark is particularly gross

Joe Biden trying to get black men to understand about wearing condoms

Corn Pop

Joe Biden bragging about getting Ukraine prosecutor fired

Biden being Biden

Why have you not seen kids for 17 days? TX SC ruled that the stay at home does not stop possession orders and keep school visitation schedules.

Democrats are evil. You need only research for yourself to see that fact. It has nothing to do with fox news. Just open your eyes.

You're a couple of years from your ex wife forcing your son into a sex change operation. Congrats.

why is this?

It's your responsibility to be able to teach and lead your kids. And, explaining to them that what they hear from their mother isn't gospel should be easy.

I couldn't imagine being so impotent as to not be able to handle the conversation like that with my 11 year old son. Dude, you better get control soon or you've already lost.

Trump cares about making money, people making money and especially people Who make money. He doesn’t give shite what color anyone is as long as they put effort into making money. Most of his “questionable” comments relate to social issues that he has no interest in because they don’t involve making money. He is sort of aloof or disinterested (as a previous poster stated). Should he be—don’t know. What I do know is that prior to COVID that more people in this country across the board were employed than the last 40 years and more were climbing out of poverty than the last 40 years. I think that’s a great thing for this country and will help race relations more than any other action a SJW can imagine.

I have no clue if President Trump is racist. The media has made many false or exaggerated allegations against him.

But he is to blame for some of the accusations when he tweets completely made up stats on black crime.

Here’s O’Reilly calling him out on it (begins at 4:15)
Black Crime Tweet discussion starts at 4:15

I know I’ll catch hell for this, but he retweeted an image that said 81% of white murder victims were killed by blacks. The actual number is less than a third of that. He also deflated the number of blacks killed by whites dramatically.

However you feel about Trump those were lies that hurt black people. Not saying that makes him racist, but it was shitty as hell.


That’s fair. But to me, that’s clearly more about Trump tooting his own horn like he loves to do, talking about how great he is. That part of his personality is plenty of reason to be put-off. And black people are justified in however that made them feel. But it’s almost 100% he was both poorly informed and wanting to pump himself up rather than anything approaching being racist.

I appreciate the thoughtful response but I’m not seeing how lying about black crime is a Trump self aggrandizing thing.

This isn’t making up a crowd size or something unimportant that the media latches onto and acts like is a big deal. This is ramping up the crime stats (by fourfold) for a 12% of Americans.

If you put as much effort into your marriage as you did that post, you’d still be married.

Well, we live an hour or so away and both spend a lot of time with our parents, who are all 4 high risk. She isn’t preventing me from seeing them, we’re just trying to be smart.

Screw every who you want. But marry somebody with some sense. Someone you WANT your kids to be around and aspire to be like.

Your Ex sounds like every other typical Prog with TDS.

He became a racist the moment he won the Republican nomination. Remember, McCain was a racist, and so was Romney. It is what the party of Jim Crow does.
