Do Trump supporters forget that Donald Trump called countries led by black people "sh*thole countries?"
Please post the exact quote. I accept that he called the countries where there were mass numbers of their citizens trying to gain entry into First World countries, "sh*thole countries", but I honestly don't recall that he blamed the p*ss poor living conditions there the result of being run by black people.
It's just a coincidence that the worst countries to live in are run by non-white people... and the best countries to live in are run by white christian people. And among the Asian countries, IMO Japan is the only decent country to be a citizen of.
But can YOU list any black run (or even Muslim majority run) country that isn't a sh*thole country or who doesn't oppress women or the LGBT people?

So what??? IMO anyone of immigrant descent who isn't happy with how America is (being white christian majority and run by a lot of white men) can just go back to their home country of their ancestors. Why not return to their ancestor's land and make their utopia there? Many Americans love the US just the way it is.

Do Trump supporters forget that Donald Trump was successfully sued in the 1970s for racist housing practices by not allowing blacks to rent in some of his properties?
The key word here is SOME. IMO any private landlord should be allowed to pick their tenants how they see fit in order to keep the rest of the already present tenants in their properties happy. My perfect tenants would be Japanese and Scandinavian nationals because of their cultural aspects of being punctual, very clean in lifestyle and full of integrity

Are Trump supporters really that silly to think the black community would have any interest in supporting a racist jerk like Donald Trump?
Well... IMO it would be very foolish of the black community to vote for a Democratic politician, seeing as how they care more about illegal Central American migrants and giving them free healthcare and education, than they are about meeting the black community's needs first.
The violence in the urban hoods and violence from mass shootings have one thing in common......access to guns that should be nowhere near any lay person's hands! Folk want to ignore the big gorilla in the room, so be it.....!
Years ago, we got involved with a group who lived in a very bad part of a large urban area. Every weekend we would go pick up all the trash and fix broken windows etc. Part was to clean up and part to demonstrate to all the men sitting on their asses on their steps that they could clean up their neighborhood. It never caught on, so 3 years later we quit doing it.
As long as the people who live there do not care about the crime, etc. no amount of outside influence will change a thing.
IIRC, most of the shooters are from small towns or suburbia.

Except that Crone just said someone DID do something about it! She said that her group spent three years cleaning up the trash and fixing broken windows, etc., to demonstrate to the men "sitting in their asses" that COULD clean up their neighborhood. Didn't work, though.
This thread is here because last week the Democratic candidates were pandering , I mean speaking at the NAACP convention and the overall talk was about getting Trump out of office , and basically telling people what they wanted to hear.
As soon as these mass shootings pop up, all is forgotten in the inner city... at least that is my take of it.
By the way, Detroit has been averaging 5 shootings a night since summer hit.
Like you really care about the inner cities, please.

Care to elaborate on this easy access to firearms ? For both situations.
A small part of Republicans are actual racists, which is the reason why I feel so many minorities, specifically Black minorities continue to vote for Democrats. If Republicans could eliminate/kick out their fringe supporters, I think you’d see a lot more Black voters going for Republicans.
Like you really care about the inner cities, please.
You are absolutely correct about that. One of the shootings last week took place about a mile and a half from my home. What effects the inner city effects the suburbs.
How is your welfare replacement for fathers working in St. Louis, Chicago, Cleveland, Memphis, etc. especially after the last 4 decades and hundreds of thousand of Democrat voters murdered by other Democrats?
You work on your gun laws and we'll work on our welfare laws. I know which side will say "no" to that first.

Yes. But it wouldn't be fair and it would actually be very stupid to take guns away from the law-abiding citizens, before removing firearms away for the thugs and criminals.
I don't own any firearms at all, and I can see that taking guns away from the responsible and legal gun owners without removing them from criminals, would just lead to the criminal element becoming more powerful and committing more criminal acts against law-abiding citizens.
And BTW these mass shootings have only occurred in gun-free zones.

You do understand that people can walk in and out of gun free zones without being checked for weapons, right? Or do you think every gun free zone has a checkpoint, like the TSA, that prevents guns from entering?
The stupidity of that talking point highlights the stupidity of those who repeat it.
