So are we allowed to criticise this blatant racism or do we have to wonder if she went home and felt bad about it first or what she had for lunch that day that might have caused her to react like this?

For me, actions speak louder than words, but each to their own.

True, racists actions are worse than words. Still words are not good though are they

I don't know... :worry:

Surprised mental illness hasn't been wheeled out yet
Muslim extremists evil, rightwing extremists mentally unwell :umm2:

its an 'ist' that cant be used naturally ....kizzy

maybe we could have some clips of people not being racist because they also exist in the good old US of A,unless we are saying Trump has changed everyone into a racist :worry:

I know right.
Also when someone dies why cant we talk about all those people who are still alive
Or if theres a war let's talk about countries where theres no war ok :laugh:

I think it's fair to say he has emboldened and supported racists like no other modern day president. When the Klan, and Neo-nazi groups think you're with them, then it's difficult to really suggest otherwise.

Just like brexit emboldened the racists over here. They are not the cause for modern racism, but both make it more acceptable to state horrific feelings and beliefs in public.

Also that clip does show people not being racist - everyone who isn't yosemite sam.

Everyone is a film director these days, you just need a phone. You can even write a script and hire actors if you wanted to.

...it’s easy I guess to ignore, turn away from...feel oh yeah but not everyone is like that, etc...if it’s not something that we’re experiencing ourselves...if it’s something that’s just on a vid/images on the screen ...but not everyone has that privilege because it's very real prejudice that their experiencing and very real hate being screamed at them...for the young man who took the vid on his phone..?...he filmed it because he sensed something was escalating...and that’s probably because of his previous life experiences and associations of having experienced racial slurs himself...as his mother has explained ...and the reason why it was so important to her that the vid was made public and that this man’s hate was exposed...

It's fine that the man's hate is exposed...but when that man's hate is also heeped onto trump then it becomes not ok, and just another pathetic bash trump newsreel...

...Trump is not the reason for that mindset in anyone, I agree...however when he purposefully feeds into such hate and prejudice himself and smirks at crowd chants of ‘send her home’...then the world will look at him with these incidents and look at any possible correlation of his time in office...that’s the price he pays for the game he plays with peoples very real lives and the prejudices they experience...

Trump, the president of all the racists and white supremacists

Is it true that his rich daddy was in kkk?

You're tying yourself up here cherie, he isn't fat because he's old either.... I'm not sure what this has to do with the conversation. :shrug:

What a rude entitled bitch

I do find it amusing that we've gone from "trumps not a racist" to "not every racist in the US can be blamed on trump"

Oh I don't know. Age can certainly be a factor that affects the way people speak.

The world is full of horrible people, it always has been, just that now we are more aware because of people posting videos every 5 minutes, they would rather pick up their phone so they have something to guffaw over with their friends or post so people will be outraged than actually engage with the other person, or give them a hand if they are being hurt or worse, we all love a good row on the internet, reality TV is never any good unless there are people pulling lumps out of each other.. its easy to say oh Brexit enabled them, or Trump enabled them but in reality they were always enabled because that is the way they are made

Nobody's suggesting Trump is creating racists.

He's making racists more comfortable being that way.

Being endorsed by so many white supremists speaks for itself.

Less of the old. :nono:

I disagree it's the way they are made. Racism has to be nurture over nature, no one is born a racist.

Maybe they were always racist, maybe they've been swayed by a mixture of austerity (in the UK), desperation, and people lying to them about who is to blame. That said, we can't just pretend that white nationalist/supremacist attacks haven't gone up exponentially since trump/brexit.

We can either suggest it's purely a coincidence, or we can accept the links in rhetoric etc. I mean, we have white shooters explicitly telling us they're doing these things because of what they're being told by trump/right wing media. These guys aren't hiding it, it's not some secret society, it's right out in the open in front of us.
