I want to know that too? I want them to give me the years they’re talking about.
As far as I'm concerned America was always great compared to most other countries at the same time. I believe by the 1990s it was irreversible damaged.
No, we have a president who has his followers feeling 100% justified to be openly racist. I know people who have started to blame all the nations ills on minorities, which is something they didn't do before. Anti-semitic comments are also more common.
The race card has been played so many times, it has lost all meaning. It's like crying "Wolf". Now, even the Dems use the race card against other Dems (per Bill Clinton). It's what Dems say when their ideas have failed, and they have been totally beat down by better ideas, or reality.
Minorities are tired of being played by the Democrat party for votes. They've wised up to it. Your welfare state failed. Minorities don't want Dem hand outs anymore, they want the Conservatives hand-ups! They don't want to have to rely upon your pittance ever again.
Trump's increased his minority approvals from 9% to 34% in just 3 years...wow! If that trend continues, he'll surpass 50% by Nov '20. Minority employment is at all time highs. Wages...growing.
Conservatives reject meaningless Dem labels. The shoe hasn't fit since George Wallace in the 1960's, and even back then it was only in small pockets in a few Southern States. The vast majority of Conservatives celebrated when that last bastion collapsed. I lived in Detroit in 1969, at the time...I saw it first hand.
Republicans ended slavery, against the will of Democrats. More Conservatives voted for the Civil Rights Act, as a %, than Democrats did. MLK was Republican. Deal with it!
Racism has deep roots in the Democrat party. You cannot run away from that. We remember!
You also want to keep African-American birth rates down with your barbaric abortion laws. Conservatives see EVERY life as precious, and thus we fight against these racist Eugenic laws with all we have. Margaret Sanger, founder of Planned Parenthood, was a proponent of Eugenics...look it up.
Anti-semitism is not found amongst true American Conservatives. We support Israel 110%. Libs don't.
You're subjecting yourself to too much Liberal media. You've been programmed to ignore the facts. Your puppetmaster is in full control. Take the Red pill!

Yes, antisemitic comments are more common, but why is that Trump’s fault? The Democrats circled the wagon around an antisemitic Congreesswoman when she advanced anti-Jew tropes, and were so afraid of angering their Democrat antisemitic followers that they were unwilling to issue a resolution condemning antisemitism. Instead, they watered it down to such a degree, hiding antisemitism far down in the language, that Omar hailed it as an anti-Islamophobia resolution! It is this tolerance or downplaying of antisemitism among Democrats that sends a message to overt antisemites that antisemitic remarks will be dealt with....softly.
In the meantime, we have a president who unabashedly condemned antisemitism and signed an EO to put pressure on colleges that enable or permit an antisemitic environment.
Opposing illegal immigration is one thing...being racist and fostering division is another. Here is what Trump said...
"When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best. They're not sending you. They're not sending you. They're sending people that have lots of problems, and they're bringing those problems with us. They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. They're rapists. And some, I assume, are good people."
You are not going to get it since you think no racism exists in America. Regardless of how much worse Trump wants to make it while trying to divide...race relations are actually getting better and will continue to do so.
Provide an example of racism in regards to illegal immigration or other issues as I have no idea what you are talking about.
I know what Trump said! Mexico doesn't "send" legal immigrants they come on their own with papers in hand and they aren't the problem and Trump has never said otherwise. Why do you and yours keep touting out that lie year after year now? In context with his remarks at the time he was only speaking in regards to Mexicans coming here illegally and it is illegal aliens that Mexico has been encouraging/sending to our country. And yes many illegal aliens do bring drugs, crime, etc. Where's the racism? Truth is racism these days?
Where did I say that no racism exists in America???? But it exists among all races not just one. Good, I'm glad you think that race relations are getting better. We would all want that.
obama set race relations back 100 years, it was all part of his plan to divide America. It will take many years to repair all of the damage he did in his eight years.
I believe we should move to separate permanently. First move should be mine out of the country (and I've thought this way long before Trump, Obama, Bush, and earlier), but unfortunately, none other would accept me. So for myself and others like me, we are stuck with going through the motions, pretending our way through life.
I just don't think it was every really possible to create a livable multiracial, multicultural nation. In order to live together comfortably and without constant conflict, people must share things at least somewhat alike, especially physical features, religious beliefs, morals, character traits,. Interests and motivations. I can tell you truthfully that most black people do not share any of the above much with whites, therefore the conflict will continue until separated permanently.
As far as I'm concerned America was always great compared to most other countries at the same time. I believe by the 1990s it was irreversible damaged.
So America was always great in a comparative sense, but never great on its own standing by an objective definition of what a great society would be?
Hmmm....interesting. So when it was comparatively great in 1940, was it great on behalf of all its citizens?
