Well I am talking about Jeff Sessions who once said, “I thought those guys were OK until I learned they smoked pot” when talking about the KKK. And what was his defense after being pushed on it? I was joking about that when discussing a case involving a black kid being killed by them. So he’s either a fan of the KKK or he cares so little for the deaths of minorities that he jokes.

Translation - When my guy uses a term like "Anglo-American" it is innocuous but if anyone else uses the same term it is racist and offensive! I'm the judge of who/what is racist so don't call me inconsistent, just STFU. If I couldn't call everyone who disagrees with me racist, I wouldn't be able to delude myself into thinking I'm not losing the argument. That would make me even more uncomfortable than hearing someone use the term "Anglo-American", which is racist but only when I deem it to be so.

You and Austin Dude can believe anything you want, it's your hallucination. The rest of us will continue viewing the world through a clearer and more balanced filter.

"Now that Jeff Sessions is Donald Trump's pick for attorney general, you're going to hear a lot of people dig up old accusations that Sessions is a racist. In fact, CNN did so last night. However, between the nature of the accusations and Sessions's actual record of desegregating schools and taking on the Klan in Alabama, it strains credulity to believe that he is a racist."

Facts are pesky huh?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Weekly_Standard

Funny you consider an conservative OPINION magazine as presenting facts. The article was the view point of a person.

The article also says: "He said he thought it absurd to think he would make a pro-KKK joke considering he was prosecuting the Klan at the time he made the remark." That's funny because under oath during his confirmation hearing, Sessions admitted that he was joking about the KKK when prosecuting them for killing a black teen. So I guess facts are pesky for this writer and Jeff Sessions huh?

Also, didn't see the article talk about Jeff Sessions attacking and prosecuting civil rights leaders for "voter fraud".

I didn't see the article mention the Coretta Scott King letter saying that Sessions would do “irreparably damage the work of my husband.” Funny how all these people love to quote Dr. King and talk about his dreams, yet his wife tells us that Sessions was anti those things and this article defending him doesn't touch on that. I guess quoting King is good enough for some people.

Coretta Scott King also said "used the awesome powers of his office in a shabby attempt to intimidate and frighten elderly black voters". Didn't see that mentioned in your "FACTS" based article. Guess they forgot that one. Nah, just didn't want to present actual facts that show the racism of Jeff Sessions.

Yet again another example of minorities, for decades, telling people this man offends us and says things we believe are racist. And people telling them that they don't know what they are talking about. He isn't any of that. What a time, what a world.

The rest of us? What were the numbers 47% believe him to be racist and 40% approval of his presidency. I think the rest of us part is against your view actually. To say Trump people view the world through a clearer and more balanced filter is fucking hilarious. That's a hallucination.

So
A verbatim Jeff Sessions quote from two days ago is an "old accusation"?
It's a QUOTE.Not an accusation.
He said he wanted fewer non-Anglo sheriffs.
Obama gave credit to Anglo culture for Habeas Corpus.

So,yeah,MY guy made a valid statement.
Even caucasian conservatives can agree with that Obama quote.

Which is insulting, how can you tell minorities what’s offending them and seems racist to them? They then go on to give the dumbest excuses. Here’s some new idiotic ones: he doesn’t express antipathy to racism or show emotional support towards minorities. He doesn’t express antipathy to racism, that’s definitely true because he thinks white supremacists are fine people. That’s embracing racism. He also doesn’t show support towards minorities, that’s true too. He does show support towards abusive men and sexual predators. Odd he can’t muster support for minorities but he can find all the support for scum.

Or how about Trump doesn’t say anything racist: https://www.cnn.com/2016/06/07/polit...ent/index.html
That isn’t some liberal, progressive Democrat saying something Trump said was racist either. You can add that to calling the whole continent of Africa a shithouse, his racist comment about John Lewis district, the racist comment about the Khan family, and the list goes on. Trump has said plenty of racist things, his followers just refuse to admit they were racist.

Or this one: He doesn’t say meaningless things to show undue and insincere solidarity with minorities agendas, yet he has continuously made statements about the unemployment right of blacks. Again never admitting that it had it’s biggest drops under Obama, it went down 1.1% under him and went back up 1% in January. So obviously he tries to make statements about the agendas of minorities since jobs, jobs, jobs is suppose to be the goal for everyone. Maybe use some common sense because it’s not that hard. He doesn’t talk about other “agendas” of minorities because he’s on the opposite of most of them. Immigration, voting rights, equity, needless killings, white supremacists, etc. Those are the things minorities want solidarity on and Trump hasn’t shown he’s exactly for those things.

Yeah those Trump people will try their hardest to tell people what offends them.

Political speech is about saying whatever a particular group wants to hear. In those terms what's important is saying anything that will be received favorably, whether it's valid or not.

However in non-political speech what matters is the merit of the statement, and NOT the way it is emotionally received by a particular group.

If a minority group is offended by a statement which in content has no malice towards them then their offended feelings are just that, FEELINGS.

And feelings are not facts.

Blowjob Bill Clinton only President to leave balanced budget and surplus of monies

Malice and intent are important when talking legally. However they have no barring on someone making racist statements. You can't say racist things and then make the argument that I had no malice in what I was saying, therefore the offensiveness is just your feelings. No it's a fact that you made racist statements. He said a judge couldn't decide on a case because he was Mexican and Trump was going to build a wall. One, that statement lacked merit and the content was racist. Paul Ryan said it was textbook racism. But you can't say well Trump didn't have malice in that statement so it's just our feelings that it was racist. No, that's not how it works. A majority can't tell the minority what they can or should feel offended by and then telling them that their feelings don't make statements racist. That's what they did back during slavery and Jim Crow, why do you think that's a good thing to be doing now?
If an overwhelming majority of minorities groups are saying hey what you are saying is offensive and racist to us, logic would say that what you are saying is racist. Only a bigot would argue that all those people's "feelings" don't make it fact. You would have to believe that all those people are lying or that all those people are confused on what's racist.

As for the merit of the statements in non-political speech, Trump fails on that too, often contradicting himself. Case in point: Africa as a shithouse continent. It's false and so it has no merit. It also contradicts his statements about friends enjoying the continent. And it was part of a racist statement.

You can keep trying to brush off the poll saying more people say Trump is racist than approve of him. You can brush off his history. You can brush off his statements that lack merit and are racist. You can brush off the lack of diversity in his administration. You can brush off the words of the vast majority of minorities. You have to brush off all those things to get to a world where you believe that what Trump says isn't racist. Where you think that Trump has any merit on issues of race. Where think that malice is a standard of what's a racist statement. You would have to live in a bubble or an alternative universe to believe that Trump doesn't say racist things. That's the only explanation.
