Perhaps, but I really meant it. A lot of conservatives that didn't agree with Obama on policy wondered why people would assume they were racists. In large part, it was because of past experiences with people like bar guy, the woman who compared Michelle Obama to a gorilla in heels, etc. Stereotyping can happen to anybody. There's some irony in that.

All you have to do is look at news footage from the 50's and 60's from Mississippi. All these old Democrats would be openly dropping n-bombs talking about blacks needling to "know their place" on the evening news. The majority of them died out or were eventually humiliated into submission.

You have a lot to learn.

I actually do not know one solitary person who holds a favorable opinion of Putin.

The tiny fringe element who have publicly said nice things about Putin in the past? I think were just trying to point out how pro-Russia Putin is, and then contrast this with our own president 0bama, who, at every available opportunity, was actively talking down the USA and its citizens.

Racist segregationist Democrats like Sen. Robert "KKK" Byrd filibustered the Civil Rights Act, and after he did that, was elected as the Democratic Party's US Senate leader. So no, they really did not die out, they were promoted.

When we get the last of the Jim Crow era folks in the ground, that will help. But the racists didn't all become enlightened. They just became quiet. Unfortunately, Trump's election had them emboldened to speak out again for awhile, but they seem to have crawled back under their rocks for now.

And by saying I have a lot to learn, you now sound judgemental and as though you are speaking down to me like I am a young child, which I am not.

Trump has not performed any favors for Putin, unlike obama and hillary and the now the democrat party and media.


If GWB could fool hillary on iraq, she isn't even a challenge to Putin.


As Obama demonstrated his absolute incompetence in calling isis the jv team, drawing an imaginary red line, warnning isis of bombing raids and subsidizing Iran and its export of terrorism around the world. Putin probably had some newbie KGB lacky deal with obama as he was did not pose a challenge to Putin's strategy and tactics.


I can only assume the op is one of the paid trolls who received a check signed by Putin for his efforts on CD.
>>>> Putin wouldn't give these people a dime. Now George Soros, yeah.

Most of the 40 and 50 year olds from 1965 are dead.

Are there racists that supported Trump? Of course.

Do you hear about the 10,000 cars that drove down a highway at rush hour yesterday or the one that hit the embankment killing the driver?

I'm talking to you in this manor, because your mindset on this topic is relatively juvenile.

I have mixed feelings, but if he helped defeat Hillary- thank you Vlad!

If that's the way you feel about it, fine. We can call an end to the discussion. I was merely attempting to point out to you why conservatives were so often accused of racism when the individual conservative may have merely had a policy disagreement with Obama. Your choice to believe that most of the out and out racism directed at Obama was "fake" and that my views are juvenile are somewhat amusing as you are usually a little more realistic than most conservatives.

I guess you just believe that liberals conspired to pretend we thought conservatives were racists, and made up stories, when we never really thought that at all? Because that is essentially what you are implying, which is ludicrous.

It seems you can't help but project your feelings onto others.

The vast majority of criticism of Obama had nothing to do with racism; however, the small amount of actual racism aimed at him was heavily reported to the point that all perspective was lost.

Additionally, what I'm saying is mostly fake racism are not racist criticisms of Obama. These fake events, of which I am speaking, are the people claiming racists Trump supporters attacking them, racist property destruction and racist graffiti. The majority of those are fake.

The racist comments about Obama are real, but they are the car hitting the embankment and not the 10,000 that drove past without event.
