What an amazingly unique and fresh perspective. Do tell us more, white man, about the evils of this country that is one of the best places on the planet to be a minority of any kind (second only to other anglosphere, majority-white countries).
Lots of examples everywhere. Just look around bub.

Nope. You're white and you just criticized two people of color - Nikki Haley and Tim Scott.

You must sit down and keep your white mouth shut - the gall of your priviledge.

The stupidity of talking about how 911 will go to voicemail... OH PLEASE...

How is this uplifting and inspiring at all? It was nice how they skipped the female on the POW bench, mind you with no masks and sitting nice and close.

If that was night 1 I can't wait to see what a SS the rest of this is.

No one tonight spoke about what POSITIVE things he wants to do, it's all about how terrible it will be under biden. I feel like I'm on the 4th grade play ground listening to a bully pick on his victims.
Sure you're not feeling a little unhinged?

You do not get to criticize people of color.

You're white.
Funny how you are bringing the color thing in here. The guy got up and said he failed a whole bunch of classes and then proceeds to try and make the public think we should vote for the guy he likes.

Dillon Roof is not representative of America. He is a lone individual who is evil and thankfully will probably be executed in prison.

Maybe you are just assuming everyone else thinks like you, therefore you assume everyone else must be racist too.

I’ve lived in America, I’ve also lived in three other countries on two different continents, and traveled a lot while there. America, although far from perfect, is the one of the least racist nations on Earth. This is coming from a black woman.

They can be so vile towards conservative women and minorities.
Presidential and vice presidential contenders always get attacked by their opponents and praised by their supporters.

That's the way political campaigns have been for a long time. I don't think she was treated real well, but I don't think she was treated worse than others running for President and VP in the past either.

I remember military hero John Kerry dealing with the 11th hour "swift boat" nonsense in 2004, too. Palin came out swinging for the McCain/Palin campaign. She had to take some criticism, too.

Do you think it was fair that people at Trump rallies said "Lock her up" about Hilary Clinton?

There have been politicians that got the same or worse treatment than Palin imo.

I do agree with you about minorities: Obama had the birther attacks (born in Kenya) and on the day after she was selected as VP, Trump made a birther accusation against Kamala Harris.

Thanks for sharing your perspective.
