Well, before he ran for president, he showed racial bias in his company.

Trump Management Corporation was sued by the Department of Justice and charged for violating the Fair Housing Act of 1968. The company had required different rental terms and conditions because of race and that it had misrepresented to blacks that apartments were not available.

When evidence surfaced in 2002 that would eventually lead to the exoneration of the five men who were charged with rape 28-year-old woman was raped while jogging in Central Park, Trump took out full page ads calling for their execution despite this new evidence. The FBI tested the DNA of the rape kit and found it did not match to any of the tested suspects. In October 2016, when Trump campaigned to be president, he declared that the Central Park Five were guilty and stated that their convictions should never have been vacated.

He did not want his black accountant to *count his money.* He is quoted as saying “And isn’t it funny. I’ve got black accountants at Trump Castle and Trump Plaza. Black guys counting my money! I hate it. The only kind of people I want counting my money are short guys that wear yarmulkes every day. . . . I think the guy is lazy. And it’s probably not his fault because laziness is a trait in blacks. It really is, I believe that. It’s not anything they can control.” This was in one of his books.

In 1992, Trump lost an appeal to overturn a $200,000 penalty for removing black dealers from gaming tables at the request of high rollers, and in 1996 twenty African-Americans in Indiana sued Trump, accusing him of reneging on a promise that he would hire largely minorities for his riverboat casino staff.

Then whose country is it? And don't you vote?



Why are they different? Because they eventually go home? Wouldn't tourists be better than immigrants because they leave? Tourists aren't trying to live next to you, vote in your elections, send their kids to your schools, or fundamentally change your community?



I don't even like Texans to be quite honest. But I "prefer" them to Californians. They are all foreigners to me.

Trust me, I used to work for BNSF railroad, and there were four groups of people who operated out of OKC. You had the guys from Fort Worth who brought the trains up. You had the guys from Arkansas City, Kansas who brought the trains down. You had the Oklahoma City boys who did the yard-work, or who made the haul to Tulsa. And then the Kansas City crews.

You could just look at each and know where they were from. I like the Oklahoma City and the Kansas guys the best. The Texans and Kansas City people were pretty annoying. And a lot of the Texas guys were from other parts of the country, especially Chicago, who went to Texas to stay warm.
There are also so-called economic refugees. And I see nothing wrong with those people looking for a better place. Migration was totally normal until the invention of borders.

It is not my country. Even if I had not emigrated, I would not have considered my country of origin "my country". It is not for me to decide who may and who may not come to the country I happen to have been born.
No, I don't vote because I don't believe in political parties.

To the contrary, tourists are like locusts. They fly all over the world, thingking the world revolves around their "I need to see that" egoism, destroying the planet in the process and turning entire cities into theme parks.
Immigrants on the other hand stay here, usually settle down, mix and mingle with natives and contribute to society. Especially in an aging country like my current one young immigrants are welcome.

What's annoying about people from Kansas City? Too urban? ^^

One, we weren't in Vietnam fighting for independence for anyone, least of all the Vietnamese.


Two, how do you define a traitor? Lee was a commissioned officer in the US Army, renounced his commission, joined the army of an enemy nation and led it against his former country. If that isn't a traitor, I really don't know what is.


Lee himself didn't want to be celebrated. He, and the confederate movement are a tool used to remind people of their place. Just to be clear, I'm not talking about battlefields or cemeteries that are sanctified by the blood of the fallen. Those are sacred places that need to be remembered, regardless of those who paid the ultimate price.

You can keep calling him a white supremacist, but its a lie. There isn't any statement of supremacy.

And yes, they ARE invaders. Did the people consent? No. Its an invasion. Its forced on only white nations...nowhere else.

They will blame him if they stub their toes, milk goes bad, have two scoops of ice cream and gain weight.
And who is living rent free in your head?

Like the OP, you didn't read the article did you?

The OP still hasn't provided any explanation for why the article, written in a right wing publication, led him to the conclusion that 'UK libs blame Trump' when the article says no such thing.

Of course that's not going to stop all the hard core C-D ers coming along and spouting off about 'libs' and 'TDS', and who have not read the article either.

Throughout the vast-majority of history almost no one went more than a hundred miles from where they were born. Those who did were basically government officials, merchants, soldiers, or slaves.

In Medieval Europe, more than 90% of the people were serfs. And this was basically true for all societies prior to the rise of capitalism.


I agree somewhat that borders are a relatively-new phenomenon, but they came about because of large-scale trade, and the ability of people to actually travel large distances. And especially for such distantly-related and culturally-distinct people to live in close-proximity.

Then who gets to decide? No one? Do you think people would be happier if we had open-borders and their neighborhood was nothing but foreigners? Would that lead to better relationships with their neighbors? Would they be more apt to let their children play outside?

At least they aren't trying to control my life, and change the country in a way I don't approve. Unlike immigrants.

Literally vomit. Can you please go back to where you came from and stop voting?

Whites invaded and killed lots of indigenous people in Australia and New Zealand, so it is a bit odd when whites there complain about immigrants.

But the evil is not immigration, it is capitalism, and the human lust for money and power. And that is why it will never be solved.

You aren't going to fix this, you aren't going to reverse it. The only thing they can do is conceal reality, and attack and silence anyone who speaks it.
Nonsense...immigration IS the problem. We don't need immigration and its not being used to benefit the American people...its being used to be destructive and genocidal.

You cannot just say we NEED immigration and have no choice...that's nutty. The issue I think you're referring to with "need" is that we rely on a Ponzi scheme to prop up the Welfare State and immigration helps keep that scam going, that's all.

Ditch the Ponzi schemes, problem is solved.

I disagree - the society of the indigenous people was changed forever by the massive influx of new people. So a sudden change in racial/ethnic/ religious mix, does have implications for the future.

All people have a right to opinions on the future direction of their society.
