Alright tough guy.

Well, they (the bikers) can try to attend that day. If they can make it thru the traffic to get there. The DC traffic is horrendous on a normal day - and it stretches 10, 20, 30 miles outside DC itself every morning and afternoon. That day it will be an absolute zoo. A disaster so to speak, you simply have to see it to believe it.

No way would I ever think of going to downtown DC on that day.

I get that you want to base your entire political philosophy on identity politics and "gotcha" sound bites.

Yes, I'm sure the snowflake college kids and Liberal profs will be very intimidating when they crawl out of their safe spaces to protest Trump's inauguration.

Maybe they should plan on bringing Pajama Boy and Rosie O'Donnell for muscle.

Like I said... you really need to understand what you're saying before you say it.

I don't have any "gotcha" sound bytes. They're "bytes," btw. Not "bites."

I don't even watch TV news to get into this whacked out, clickbait-y phenomenon that seems to have infested the minds of most of the forum.

I am saying, very simply, that you are not comprehending the definition of the word "racism" or the conditions under which it is applicable.

Which isn't uncommon on this forum, so you are not alone, FatFella.

Have you spent much time in DC?

Are you at all aware that not all Trump supporters are exactly Billy Badasses much in the same way that not all Trump opposers are Whiny Millennial "Snowflakes?"

I mean, Trump is the quintessential Boomer Snowflake. The thought that two, opposing sides would be homogeneous is hilarious.

I know way too many ex and current members of the US military who are anti-Trump that this notion that all people who oppose Trump are wimpy is a real hoot.

LOL.

That's like assuming all people who ride motorcycles are big Trump fans. Nayyyy, sir. Nay.

That's right, you don't think black people like Obama or Sharpton can be racist.

They can and are.

Oh... I think that they can absolutely be bigoted. And prejudicial.

For them to be racists, they'd have to be the controlling majority in the US.

That is the subtle point that is lost on people who froth over and cry out "reverse racism!"

Well, what on Earth can a minority group with not much collective power (and Obama was president, but presidents are not dictators) DO?

I mean, if you think "racist" means "those brown people don't like me because I'm white!"

Then, yep... I reckon there are plenty of brown racists to you.

But, that is not what racism actually is.

Which is why it's annoying when people go on about reverse racism. Think about that for a second... reverse from what? The norm?

If that's the case? White people being racist is clearly the norm and everyone who whines about reverse racism openly admits it.

Yes... people can prefer their own race, have an affinity for their own race. But, even if minority people don't like white people, they really cannot do much to hold white people down.

So, they cannot actually be "racist" to any sort of genuine effect.

Now, if you moved to...oh... China, and were treated poorly because you are white, I'd tell you those Chinese people were racists and that would be absolutely true in that case.

See the subtle difference?

I don't believe you at all, unless your definition of way too many is 3 or 4. Go to any VFW or American Legion post and take a poll. You'll get a much more accurate result than a few old high school buddies.
