Exactly! That word means nothing of substance anymore.

Good articles and I will address when I can. I am, however, not interested in his ancient history back when he was being praised by Jessie Jackson for the ocntributions to the black neighborhoods, only his words since running for president and after winning.

But real quick, saying a black man has an advantage; how is that racist? It was certainly true when I was a kid, particularly for getting into a goos college or university. But even if not true universally, it's not a racist comment. The fact that there is affirmative action makes that comment specifically not racist. I'll get back to this.

Yeah..my virus program started complaining the moment your FM link opened, but since I was already there I read the 1st few paragraphs of this typical hit pc being passed off as news. This article could only be considered "center-right" by rhino never-trumpers (confused dims who claim to be conservative) and it's main objective was obviously to provide a platform which allowed the author to repeatedly throw out his disingenuous 'do you still beat your wife' type innuendo...

President George W. Bush's chief speechwriter, Michael Gerson, has a message for people who are excusing President Trump's racism:

"I had fully intended to ignore President Trump’s latest round of racially charged taunts against an African American elected official, and an African American activist, and an African American journalist and a whole city with a lot of African Americans in it. I had every intention of walking past Trump’s latest outrages and writing about the self-destructive squabbling of the Democratic presidential field, which has chosen to shame former vice president Joe Biden for the sin of being an electable, moderate liberal.

But I made the mistake of pulling James Cone’s 'The Cross and the Lynching Tree' off my shelf — a book designed to shatter convenient complacency.

Cone recounts the case of a white mob in Valdosta, Ga., in 1918 that lynched an innocent man named Haynes Turner. Turner’s enraged wife, Mary, promised justice for the killers. The sheriff responded by arresting her and then turning her over to the mob, which included women and children. According to one source, Mary was 'stripped, hung upside down by the ankles, soaked with gasoline, and roasted to death. In the midst of this torment, a white man opened her swollen belly with a hunting knife and her infant fell to the ground and was stomped to death.'

God help us.

It is hard to write the words.

This evil — the evil of white supremacy, resulting in dehumanization, inhumanity and murder — is the worst stain, the greatest crime, of U.S. history. It is the thing that nearly broke the nation. It is the thing that proved generations of Christians to be vicious hypocrites. It is the thing that turned normal people into moral monsters, capable of burning a grieving widow to death and killing her child.

When the president of the United States plays with that fire or takes that beast out for a walk, it is not just another political event, not just a normal day in campaign 2020. It is a cause for shame. It is the violation of martyrs’ graves. It is obscene graffiti on the Lincoln Memorial. It is, in the eyes of history, the betrayal — the re-betrayal — of Haynes and Mary Turner and their child. And all of this is being done by an ignorant and arrogant narcissist reviving racist tropes for political gain, indifferent to the wreckage he is leaving, the wounds he is ripping open.

Like, I suspect, many others, I am finding it hard to look at resurgent racism as just one in a series of presidential offenses or another in a series of Republican errors. Racism is not just another wrong. The Antietam battlefield is not just another plot of ground. The Edmund Pettus Bridge is not just another bridge. The balcony outside Room 306 at the Lorraine Motel is not just another balcony. As U.S. history hallows some causes, it magnifies some crimes.

What does all this mean politically? It means that Trump’s divisiveness is getting worse, not better. He makes racist comments, appeals to racist sentiments and inflames racist passions. The rationalization that he is not, deep down in his heart, really a racist is meaningless. Trump’s continued offenses mean that a large portion of his political base is energized by racist tropes and the language of white grievance. And it means — whatever their intent — that those who play down, or excuse, or try to walk past these offenses are enablers.

Some political choices are not just stupid or crude.

They represent the return of our country’s cruelest, most dangerous passion. Such racism indicts Trump. Treating racism as a typical or minor matter indicts us." — Michael Gerson

If Michael Gerson actually wrote this in a public forum, he is a sick, sick, sick person and he is absolutely wrong, along with the MSM, that Trump's comments were "racially charged". Trumps comments were directed toward the actions and comments of hate-filled people who hate their country and these people are, coincidentally, black. It is warped and divisive to credit any person's critique of another's words, actions, policies or philosophy to the race, religion or sex of that person unless that critique is about that person's race, religion or sex but the Democrats and the MSM engage in this absurdity almost without exception.

Did you bother to read the evidence? Do like being led by the nose and manipulated to spew what your local propaganda agent tells you? If you can refute what he said then refute it. If you can't, you have nothing to say.

Why relive the horrors of the past and then try to apply them to today's leaders? How stupid. There is NOTHING racist about ANYTHING Trump has said to which you were referencing. NOTHING.


On vacation? You guys are both comical and sad in your attempts to soften the idiocy and poison of Trump. It is ON VIDEO. Only your legions of goons and idiots take what you try to spin as truth.

Yes, you need more time at the mind gym to contort and twist the body of evidence.

This was a quote from George W Bush speechwriter. Are you calling him (the speechwriter) sicker than Kevin or are you calling Quakerwidow sicker than Kevyn for quoting GWB's speechwriter? The one I hope heals is you because your reading comprehension and logic really suck!
