Affairs are usually carried out in secret so your scenario doesnt really make sense of people being enpowered to do things in secret :conf:

Fact is, White supremacists like Trump and have said so on many occasions so its not too much o stretch given his rhetoric to see this on the rise. People, wisely or stupidly, sometimes trust and follow their leaders. It doesnt really matter that Donnies racist, what matters is that racists like him, alot.

White Supremacists, Extremists Celebrate President Trump’s Latest Racist Tweets

Trump said 'many people agree' with his racist tweets. These white supremacists certainly do.

Whilst I would never condone the language used, its clear from the video he is frustrated by not getting the his form, I think we can all relate to 'computer says no' frustration, yes he was out of order, yes he was packing a gun, but he didn't wave it around which is pretty incredible given how frustrated he was, did someone behind the counter snigger, yes they did, we can all stand here and say omg thats awful but in a similar situation would we have uttered under our breath, fat bitch, old cow, or similar, it's on this thread..old fool...old bugger .... all seemingly very acceptable insults... who knows maybe he came back an hour later after he calmed down and apologised, or may he went back home and put a pillow case over his head, we don't know.... its a snapshot in time, ..... maybe he is an out and out racist or maybe he pulled out the worst insult he could think of at the time and went home and regretted it, I'm no Trump fan and its very clear in his posts neither is Bots, nobody trotted out after Clinton had it off with Monica that the whole of the USA was enabled to have affairs, so I find the narrative the everyone has suddenly turned racist due to Trump a bit hard to swallow in all honesty

Yes he's old I don't believe that should excuse an outburst like this, had the thread contained images if a man in his 20s behaving like this the reaction would've been very different. ...That's ageist.
There is a slew of news reports recently of people using racially aggressive language, there has been a connection made that its due to the language and the attitude of trump. You might not agree but it's been well documented recently.

Yeah fair dues that’s probably a bad comparison :laugh: yeah I get people agree with tweets, in this situation I’m more inclined to think the guy was tipped into saying what he knew what would hit home rather than anything else, but I could be wrong, like I say it’s a snapshot that could go either way

I never said he was old,..that was all you kizzy..and I never once mentioned his age as a factor...again that’s all you...I have said all I want to say about this ...but please do post away ....someone will respond I’m sure

Whether he had the "right" to be annoyed at the employee or not, there is no excuse for the racist language.

That's ridiculous...

Are we supposed to believe these racist outburst wern't happening before trump entered office? I'm sure it happened just as often as it is now, it's merely fashionable to blame or link trump to these outbursts...absolutely ridiculous assumptions there Kizzy by these people saying there is a link.


Load of tripe to even suggest there's a link.

fat is also a descriptor you could have used, but like old, it has nothing to do with what comes out of his mouth
