I think most black folks will see through this. They see DJT insulting everybody using "creative" language - men, women, white people, latinos.

They're desperate to crack this mild groundswell of support Trump is developing among blacks and will try anything at this point.

Well according to the media, it's de-humanizing. At least that's what the media cabal decided to phrase it as.

There’s really not a whole lot of people calling this racist.

I think they are going with the whole “dehumanizing” rhetoric. Which is foolish. As if one race alone can be dehumanized. As if words alone can truly be dehumanizing. The word dehumanized needs to get a twitter account as it’s being marginalized.

Ask those three girls/women held in Cleveland (I think) for 2 years what being dehumanized is like.

Well “ dog” is de- humanizing on its face. It’s a weak argument to say it hasn’t been adopted as a specific racial slur in the past.

You called it. On cue, a libtard does exactly as you said.

Do you have any specific examples that would classify me as a “libtard”? Other than making the point that a dog is not human.

Are you saying there are other times Trump has used racist language? If so, could you provide examples?

I'm not playing into the sore loser lefties' game that President Trump is a racist because he called a black woman an animal. According to Merriam Webster's Collegiate Dictionary Tenth Edition, the word "dog" used in the context President Trump employed the word is defined as "a worthless person."

It seems to me like an appropriate use of the word "dog" by President Trump because Omarosa is a worthless person.
