Absolutely nothing. The critics are right--people AREN'T Skittles. Skittles won't stab you in the mall or blow you to bits on a public street.

Same goes for Donald and his father. Donald Trump's father was arrested in 1927 as part of an unruly KKK demonstration in New York. Fred and the KKK marched against the Catholic threat posed by Italian immigrants to the American Protestant way of life. This is where Donald learned intolerance and it also explains why David Duke and Donald Trump aren't exactly enemies.

Not about what happened to the people. What I posted about was the response from Liberals from both cases.

The company does not have to be liberal or conservative to not want their product associated with terrorism.

Besides his ratio is not even close. How many Skittles in a large bowl? 1000? Far more than 3 in 1000 Islamists are radicalized or supporters of Muhammad.


I would think that would depend on the size of the bag or box of Skittles. They can range from 2 oz -small bags to larger bags - 14 oz, 54 oz, or more, then in boxes, as well.

Yeah. Apparently they don't teach statistics and probability at Wharton or Jr. didn't pay anymore attention in class than his old man because if he had made an effort to be accurate he would have used a picture of a swimming pool full of Skittles to fish out the three bad ones.
