Don't underestimate the level of racism and bigotry in Australia. In my experience the only people more racist than Australians are Russians. South Africa would probably be in the top five too.

That's not the way white racism works. You're grasping at straws here.

Trump is not even religious, which is something important to many white extremists.

Yep. Maybe not openly embracing it, because he knows better. But not condemning it and refusing to commit to changing the narrative says everything.

Racism and/or bigotry works in many ways - not sure why it wouldn't work in that way. Failing to see your point.

Apparently that's how it worked for the shooter.

Unreal. We're focusing on a few nutty folks and suddenly the 'white nationalists' are THE terrorists? Liberals are nuts. Here are the amount of people Muslims terrorist killed (only listed 100+ deaths):


- 9/11, 2001, 2996 killed

- Bali, 2002, 202 killed

- Madrid, 2004, 192 killed

- France, 2015, 137 killed


I left out India, Pakistan, Russia, Nigeria, Syria, Iraq to name a few. Or the terrorist attacks in Spain, UK and more in France.

I guess we can blame Obama for the black on black crime in American when he was in office then.

You do know the difference between a symbol and an active participant, right?


As a total aside, Trump's hypocrisy has no bounds, but I don't think he's genuinely racist. He's just old, and a lot of the things he believes are now racist. He wasn't a racist by 80's terms, he's borderline on some things now. He hasn't changed, the world has.

Oh you should post the number of people killed by illegals per year in the US.
