So, if Obama had been white and there were the same concerns, would that have been racist?

Maybe he saw the same guy on TV that I did?

Also, that birther attack on Obama was another example the guy on TV used. He was really good. I wish I could remember what station I saw it on. It was part of a whole discussion on racism and how to tell if you are or aren't racist, etc.

So Romney never realized Trump was a racist when he endorsed him, huh?

I'm guessing when his thin skin didn't like trump calling him a loser by not beating obama in 2012 which should have been easy, that he ran a horrible campaign, called him out by helping him raise money in his campaign against obama and this is what he gets in return to someone he thought was a friend.

When will this clown give it up? I think he's acting like a little whiny kid who can't accept his own failures, his party failures, and that voters don't want his establishment type anymore in charge of anything in this country. I seriously think this guy needs some professional counseling/is unhinged and feel sorry for him acting so desperate on the nationwide stage.

Here are some wise words for him that I think are useful to ponder/follow for people in his spot:

"Give us the grace to accept with serenity the things that cannot be changed,
Courage to change the things which should be changed,
And the wisdom to distinguish the one from the other."

Racism runs deep by the illegals.. even the chief of police who is involved with THE RACE, La Raza , told the police to stand down and did not protect Americans being beaten by the illegals.. this is sick and we are fed up!
I get the frustration believe me I do! Our government immigration policy is run by a horribly dysfunctional bureaucracy, and it's completely out of hand. However I blame our government more than the people who came here. I don't really blame them for trying to get out of a horrible situation, and so many are good people, but the pandering, government handouts and protections have been corrupting.

I guess not. Honestly, I never thought Trump was a racist until I heard this guy. What he said made so much sense to me. Trump isn't deliberately doing this. That's why he can't hear it -- like he couldn't hear the racism in his complaints about the judge.

Racism what now?

Appears Judge Gonzalo Curiel May Be the Racist…not Trump

http://www.thepostemail.com/2016/06/...il-of-la-raza/

Quote:
The website of the La Raza Lawyers Association of California contains a page with a link leading to the National Council of La Raza, a fact not reported by the mainstream media...On June 1, The DC reported that Curiel was a member of a committee tasked with nominating La Raza Lawyers of San Diego Scholarship Fund recipients, with one reportedly identifying himself as “undocumented.” The organization also grants scholarships to law students entering the San Diego School of Law...

...MEChA and the La Raza movement teach that Colorado, California, Arizona, Texas, Utah, New Mexico, Oregon and parts of Washington State make up an area known as “Aztlan” — a fictional ancestral homeland of the Aztecs before Europeans arrived in North America. As such, it belongs to the followers of MEChA. These are all areas America should surrender to “La Raza” once enough immigrants, legal or illegal, enter to claim a majority, as in Los Angeles. The current borders of the United States will simply be extinguished.

Right up there with questioning if Ted Cruz was?

There was legitimate reason to question Ted Cruz's right to run for president, from what I understand.

In Obama's case, no reason whatsoever.

I could be wrong but the only person I recall questioning both is Trump.
