Re: The Left's Imaginary Racism
Oh yeah, there's the trickery. Quote his actual words that don't have an iota of racist content and call them racist. That's what the Left does. He's making a political point but because it happens to be about a nonwhite therefore it's racist despite there not being any racism in it. The scary thing is I think the Leftists believe it's racist, which is a mental problem.

"go back to where you came from" is a classic racist phrase Faith. You're ignoring the fact that 3 out of the 4 congresswomen he addressed it to were born in the uS. Is trump too stupid to know this or does he simply see people of color and classify them as non americans?

Re: The Left's Imaginary Racism
They have been saying anti-American things, like they don't even belong here. What does their race have to do with that? There are lots of white American Communists who talk the same way, like they might as well be foreigners. He told them to go back to their countries of origin and fix the problems in those countries with corrupt politics and then they can tell us how to fix ours.
THIS IS A POLITICAL SITUATION, IT HAS NOTHIHNG TO DO WITH RACE AND TRYING TO MAKE IT ABOUT RACE IS DESTROYING THE LEFT'S ABILITY TO THINK, IF THEY HAVE ANY LEFT TO BEGIN WITH, AND SOME ON THE RIGHT AS WELL WHO AREN'T PAYING ATTENTION.

Re: The Left's Imaginary Racism
He's making a political point....
He told members of the legislative branch, whose job is to provide checks and balances to the executive branch, to go back to the countries they came from (which, by the way, happens to be the United States).
What political point was he making?

Re: The Left's Imaginary Racism
They have been saying anti-American things,
like you did (and still do) back when Obama was president. Should you have gone back to your country of origin?
He told them to go back to their countries of origin
3 out of the 4's country of origin is the US Faith. Thinking they're from somewhere else because they have a different skin color is racist.

Speaking of "anti-American"
Isn't telling a US citizen to go back to the country they're from "anti-American"? I know if I were going to choose something to call "anti-American", that one would be a strong candidate.

It's better to have a few false alarms than to miss the real ones.
If the alarms were false - i.e. if Trump wasn't racist, he'd be able to demonstrate it.

Re: The Left's Imaginary Racism
I'm not sure Trump is a racist, rather I think Trump believes his strongest possible base are the racists and fascists.

Re: The Left's Imaginary Racism
You just can't stand that First Amendment, can you.
The right wing has way overblown their comments, but even with your version their speech is protected. No matter how much you hate their speech, as long as they don't overstep legally established bounds, their speech is protected.
"Go back where you came from" is long established as a racist taunt, since 1798. 'Go Back Where You Came From': The Long Rhetorical Roots Of Trump's Racist Tweets. I expect you won't read it, you don't dare look outside your right wing bubble.

Who cares? His complaint was about her anti-Americanism, not her race.
Then Trump should have gone back to Germany instead of complaining about America during his campaign. Did that happen?
