Easily. I despise Islam itself, but the average Muslim in my experience is far more trustworthy, empathetic and generous than the average Christian I’ve met. Like, it’s not even close character wise.

And Asians can’t be racist against blacks and Hispanics? LMAO...how about answering that!! Try being black and dealing with people from India.

In any case, I know what this is on your behalf. You most certainly see it as being to your benefit if all these minorities all hate each other. It furthers the White Conservative agenda. Just read through this thread and it’s insanely palpable.

Interesting how most of this is in liberal cities and states and some of the racist attacks are from other minorities like blacks and Hispanics. Now Illinois wants to limit ammo sales. Regardless of your race, gun ownership is a necessity to protect ourselves and our families. Many California Asians are liberals (not so much here in Louisiana where Asians are slightly more liberal than whites but much more Republican than blacks) but now maybe they will be rethinking the importance of the Second Amendment.

There's also the issue of generalized chaos during a disaster as the police are busy enforcing quarantines, criminals will start to take advantage of the situation so its always good to be prepared. If you think the federal government cares about you or is able to protect you just look at Katrina. Just look at how FEMA doesn't care about tornado victims in Tennessee. Maybe when its an "important" state like New York or California the response is instant like with the California fires. But anywhere else in the nation we are on our own.
Hmmm....the internment Camps and property seizures weren’t enough to make Asians understand the value of being armed?

Nahhhh....but those blacks and Hispanics!! Now THERE’S a reason to be armed.

This is TOTALLY false. This is because of Obama's personal characteristics, including his foreign connections, the fact that he spent his childhood abroad, that his school documents in Indonesia claimed his religion as "Islam", the fact that he has a non-American first name and actually went from Barry to Barack to be less assimilated and less American.

Obama was also the most radical, anti-American candidate and president, though Sleepy Joe and Hillary are equally radical as him, and Bernie even more so.

If Ben Carson or Colin Powell ran for president, nobody would question that they're 100% American.

Yep that solved the mystery of which is better.

I on the other hand have been to muslim countries, where I live now has a good percentage of muslims. What I have observed is women, females in general are worth less than a goat. Daughters are sent off young as in younger than 16 to marry old perverts. But hey you know a few muslims and that's all anyone needs to know to dec ice that Muslims are better than Christians.

Nope. Birtherism was a racist ploy to undermine Obama and slyly imply that African Americans don’t belong in the White House. Sorry, but you’re not getting a do-over or a narrative rewrite on the issue. It was blatant racism, and African Americans are not gonna be convinced otherwise.

So give it up.

I’m talking about here in the United States. Can’t speak for that other poster.

And in this country, if given a choice of dealing with a Christian or Muslim in a deal where honesty and good character would make a difference, I’d have to choose the Muslim based on track record.

Cultural issues in other countries aren’t my business.

Straight up truth that the Trumpers and Birthers don't want to acknowledge. Listening to them use their pretzel logic to dance around it would be funny, if it wasn't so loathsome.

how are Africans Americans and Hispanics being racist? Do you have a link or are you just making stuff up?

They know damn well that the birther movement was all about Obama being black. They used the birth certificate issue to obfuscate that fact. But African Americans like myself knew it and won’t be forgetting it anytime soon.

So their kvetching about “what did Trump say that was racist” ain’t working with me. It’s what he DID, not what he said.
