The BLM movement isn't about hatred to white people. I am most definitely not OK with anyone who supports that kind of hatred...even if they spread their hatred under the umbrella of BLM.

Hillary criticized the dregs of society, and I'm totally OK with that. AC is being criticized for his sexuality because people didn't like how he treated Trump during the debate. It's not the same.

I am wondering, however, if some of his extreme comments and actions promote these sorts of things. It's called The Trump Effect.
The only thing I think that Trump has done is get people excited to vote. Whether they hate him or whether they like him, he has definitely made this election season interesting and energized...and he's also, without directly doing a thing to them, made the RINOs in the GOP reveal themselves...so to me he's already done a lot of good with the Republican party.

I still think that those people would be talking like that no matter who it was running on the Republican ticket. Twitter is not largely monitored like Facebook. Say those words on Facebook, you end up in "Facebook jail" (you're basically suspended for 30 days and from what I hear, you have to then prove that it's your account with photo ID...I find that disturbing). YouTube is another "wild, wild west" type of comment platform. If you've ever made the mistake of spending any time reading YouTube comments, you will see that people talk like this all the time regardless of it being an election year or not. That is why I believe that those fools would be talking like that even if we had Rubio, or Jeb!, or Cruz running.

People are supposed to jump on a "support Anderson Cooper" bandwagon? Create a #hashtag maybe? I don't know what you want. People are mean, everyone gets to deal with that equally. YAY AMERICA.

The weasels may..But from many comment's I have seen, they express a civil war..as in rising up and FIGHTING against corruption blah blah.. Trump has been preaching to THIS CHOIR ..and MANY ( Anarchists) have risen to the surface..and feel emboldened.. SO do not expect Master Trump to ever concede once those votes come in...Trump is nothing more than a Cancer trigger who has activated this cells to explode..

The above is how outsider's see it..like it or deny it..IT's precisely how the "OUTSIDE WORLD see Trump and his adamant followers who accept his Racism/bigotry/Misogyny/Phobia's crossing ALL who aren't like him(them) !!

Yep..Deplorable is just an adjective..and that definition fits perfectly given the agenda/attitude/behaviour..So accept it.

According to the deplorable, calling names is a NORM"..SO why do you or other's find being called a name so offensive??????...Hey..Maybe because you all can dish it out..but can't take it..LOL..That's exactly what bullies always act like

Trump did not apologize~~ He suggested locker room talk..I say BS BS.. How the Hell could he even brag about knowing THEY TAKE IT because I'm a STAR, unless HE PERSONALLY succeed in such behaviour???.. Trump is a BS professional..and protects himself with $$/Lawyers/Bullying/Litigations etc etc~~

SO no..He didn't apologize..But he gave lip service only because he GOT exposed..embarrASSED?? Maybe..But given he really doesn't care..Supporter's believe his CON and says more about them than Trump.

BBM^^^ because he would only boast about such stuff about SUCCESSFUL ACTIONS~~ WHY? does he say such a thing~~ By the Age of 60..he had already succeeded many many times..SO Words on that audio is only evidence of SUCCESSFUL conquests by Heir Trump in his lifetime !!

I think that's a fair point, and I do agree that YT comments are...well, deplorable.

I appreciate your comments.

I think it is the media. It's hard to get away from it.

This is how I look at it.

We work, live, socialize, go to school with all types of people. I don't think twice about some of this stuff the media talks about - I mean, we all have 2 legs (or most do), etc, have to get up in the morning - why don't we start thinking about what UNITES us rather than the different things?

We have to stop the insults. It is getting old.

thank you Ceece, I guess because I didn't say what Cali wanted Cali in response said I must identify as an alt-right white supremacist neo-Nazi... pfft, as if name calling is going to get me to jump on the bandwagon.

My view is the opposite of yours. I think he is terrific. Unlike Donald Trump, Anderson is articulate, intelligent, dresses well, polite, well mannered, handsome, fit, slim, and elegant.

He did his best to trump Trump, but he wasn't man enough to do it.
