I merely put for you guys to see that there are valid concerns down here at ground zero, that can be harder to understand if say in Louisiana’s case - there are 60,000 undocumented (estimated).
Just saying the impact isn’t theoretical, we are living it.
My hometown public school system has almost the same number of students as when I got out of in 1978.
The Hispanic portion has gone from <1% to 46% in the school system, and at the same time we have lost 10,000 manufacturing jobs.
Yeah, I understand…it hits a lot closer to some than others. My sister and her family live in N CA and they are frustrated with the schools because English is a second language for many of the kids, which impacts their own kids’ education. This is also in wine country, though, so they understand the local economy depends heavily on the immigrant community.
“Racism” is actually just one species in the “anything opposed to socialism” genus.
It will probably soon be impossible to get around without speaking conversational Spanish
It isn’t clear that’s what he meant, but if it is what he meant – and I repeat myself – then that’s a dumb non sequitur.
The word “racist” was in the initial context being used to describe an open white supremacist and his natural affinity for a presidential campaign that was begun with a rambling tirade that produced one notable thing: a vicious lie about Mexican immigrants. If you can’t figure out where racism comes into play here, head over to Stormfront and ask them: they understood from the outset. I’m sure they will be happy to help, assuming you’re white.
Let’s actually look at the Trump quote in question:
“When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending the best. They’re not sending you; they’re sending people that have lots of problems and they’re bringing those problems. They’re bringing drugs, they’re bringing crime. They’re rapists and some, I assume, are good people, but I speak to border guards and they’re telling us what we’re getting.”
Note, he did not say “all Mexicans are rapists” or the variations of what he’s accused of.
What he said was, however in-artfully, was a true statement when discussing illegal aliens. They are not “Mexico’s best.” Many bring drugs and do bring crime. Many are rapists. And, some are good people.
Is it a typical Trump garbled sentence? Sure. But it’s hardly “a vicious lie about Mexican immigrants.”
Your statement was racism was “the specific reason your a Trumpist.”
So, according to you, all Trump supporters are racists.
No, but all racists are Trump supporters. Racists are a subset of Trump supporters. One may argue about their respective size as a subset of Trump voters and their vocal presence on social media, but the basic premise of @smh_23 stands.
No. Who taught you logic? My statement was about him, therajraj, and why he is a Trumpist. Hence the word “you.”
There are plenty of Trump supporters, including here, that are good people. This doesn’t alter the fact that racism played a part in the aggregate of the event, and certainly in the case of people like our resident white supremacist.
Which is the vicious evil that underlies tolerance of illegal immigration.
The elites in both the Republican and Democrat parties look the other way because they want a cheap, semi-slave, labor force. A marginalized immigrant population is just the thing to pick their grapes, mow their lawns, and feed them at the country clubs. Almost as good as the blacks they used to “import.”
Of course, the side effect of this constant supply of cheap labor is wages don’t rise.
This oversupply has resulted in poor white staying poor, blacks staying poor, and hispanics staying poor.
Being a minority doesn’t exclude you from being racist. I live in an area with a pretty heavy black population, and I’ve met quite a few that hate tf out of white people. While I can’t guarantee that they didn’t vote for Trump, we can take an educated guess.
Sorry, given you are a liberal, I assumed you were using the royal “you.” My mistake.
Dunno. Louis Farakkan (sp?), Jessie Jackson, and several others are vicious anti-white, anti-hispanic, and anti-Jewish racists and they certainly didn’t support Trump.
If this were true, he’d have won all 50 states and done much better with non-whites.

Ok, to clarify - white racists. And the occasional wannabe white racist such as @therajraj.
I can’t comment on the level of antisemitism and hatred towards the whites in minority groups, but the above stands.
Read the link. That sure seems like a lot of crime. However, it left me with several questions:

My grandfather on my mom’s side is a racist to an insane level. He voted for HRC purely because he thinks Trump is a draft dodger. Point being wide net casting generalizations are almost always wrong when you use absolutes.
Hmm…Do you really think such a highly unusual scenario discredits the general assertion that (white) racists voted Trump? Weren’t you the one who told me (regarding a different subject) that “you can’t make decisions about something this large based on a .0001% scenario”?
Is it racist to vote for someone based on their race? Because 95%of blacks voted for Obama
No, it doesn’t. If there are two(or more) black guys and a white guy in a room, the white guy is still a racist…unless he’s either the elected ruler of the black guys, or LGBTP(rogressive).
