[StormfrontFL]

Still a lot of butt-hurt snowflakes around I see...get over it.

Just like you got over the fact that Obama beat you guys...TWICE.

Still the conservative obsession with abusuve anal coitus. is the GOP capable of anything but?

No, Trump is many things however he has deregulated, always supported equality, is more willing to tackle gun control than Obama or Bush. I have more money in my wallet. He’s doing fine.

Why should I be upset with Trump? Because he calls Haiti a shit hole? It’s a shit hole. Switching the words around won’t change what something is.

"Always supported equality" That's actually funny.

Ok, please list where he hasn’t supported equality? To Trump it was can he make a buck. If he needed to do something to make money he would.

President Trump's First Year Was an Affront to Civil Rights
When Donald Trump made his campaign pitch to African-American voters in Michigan, he clung to an image of black America that’s as racialized as it is entrenched in the minds of many of his supporters. “You’re living in poverty. Your schools are no good. You have no jobs,” the then-candidate told a crowd that was overwhelmingly white, only to end with a question: “What the hell do you have to lose?”

That question, rhetorical though it may have been, answered itself time and again during Trump’s first year in office, a period marked by not just destructive policies for black and brown people, but also by the biggest assault on civil rights and the rule of law as any I have seen in my three-decade career as a civil rights lawyer. If Charlottesville gave the public a glimpse into the president’s moral failure in the face of white supremacy, his administration has, by word and deed, made it plain that it has no interest in advancing racial justice and pushing America toward the more perfect Union that our Constitution envisioned.

...Sessions likes to say that all of his actions as attorney general are guided by his commitment to the rule of law. But just the opposite is true. Under his watch, long-established legal precedents and principles are suddenly under siege. When the Justice Department filed a brief in the Supreme Court in the case of a Christian baker who declined to bake a wedding cake for a gay couple, the Trump Administration inexplicably took the side of the baker ignoring the historical role of religion in justifying discrimination on the basis of race — and potentially opening up long-settled public accommodations laws to similar challenges. It’s no wonder there was fierce opposition within the DOJ to even jump into the high-profile dispute.

I would call him a c*** - but that wouldn't be true as they are useful.
Trumpo is many things, a liar, self interested and out for what he can get. His deregulations are to help friends not the nation, he cares little for the nation in fact. His supports for equality involve backing wife beaters, supporting suspected pederasts and backing guns. He is many things including racist, having a long memory when it comes to pay back time, and is a bigot. Trump is many things and one is his disrespect for his wife, two tarts just after his son was born, well, that's almost a Trump hand.
Trump is willing to do most things but will only NOW do anything about gun control because its in his good to do so, the public want something enough for him to go against the NRA - will the GOP back him And yes, Trump has done many things and that includes putting more cash in you wallet but nothing like the $29,000,000 he put into Warren Buffets pocket..
Trump is may things including a racist - which he dresses up in other clothes.
As for his calling any other country a shithole I would suggest he got of his fat ass and looked in parts of Chicago, New Your, Boston, Washigtoin and even Los angles - then he might know what a shithole is really like.
Trump is many things, but there are many things he isn't, presidential, a world leader or honest.

Not one tiny bit do I regret voting for him. He needs to keep pushing the resistance from both sides. I love his “I don’t give a fuck the way it’s always been done” attitude. Wish he could get term limits into effect and get rid of ALL the lifer politicians out of Congress. Get some more fresh blood and fresh ideas in there from people not worried about where their next donation will be coming from.

even when "the way it has always been done" IS THE LAW

Huuum "pride in European heritage" through the eyes of someone that only sees the world through a European lense? There really isn't much "pride" any homo sapien has a right to when viewed through a planetary lense.

What? Do you not see anything worth honoring in your own ethnic heritage?

"Ethnic" can mean different things. I'm more inclined to honor my *cultural* heritage (also a bit of a loaded word, but what can one do?). This is provided that (a) there's no attempt to whitewash the drawbacks of that culture's history, and (b) there's no implication of propping up one's own culture at the expense of others.

“Whitewash”? If anything, there’s black wash, rewriting history to make it seem more “multicultural”

Then what is the sense in a general and unqualified dismissal of "pride in European heritage"? (you opted to answer for sargon20 who had posted such a dismissal)

I responded to your post for myself; I can't speak for sargon. I suspect, though, that some who look askance at pride in a particular heritage are reacting to my caveats (a) and (b) above.

History *is* multicultural. Why not acknowledge as much?

I’m sorry, but when the BBC tries to assert that Egyptians were “black” and Europe was heavily multicultural, that’s literally rewriting history to suit an SJW narrative.

The FACT is, it wasn’t like that.

How many threads has he derailed or attempted to derail?

A cursory look at the Egyptian question suggests it's still hotly debated. If you believe there's been a definitive answer, feel free to direct us to a source.

As for Europe, surely it depends what area and time period you're talking about. In general, though, the major urban centers--the places most on the cultural cutting edge--were also the most diverse.

(I'd count the ways Europe was influenced by other cultures . . . but I'd have to use Arabic numerals.)

"Own ethnic heritage". It's a well-known principle in social psychology that people define themselves in terms of social groupings and are quick to denigrate others who don't fit into those groups. Others who share our particular qualities are our "ingroup," and those who do not are our "outgroup."

One of the most significant "experiments" on ingroup-outgroup bias was not carried out in the psych lab at all, but in the school room of an Iowa teacher, Jane Elliot. In 1968, the day after the assassination of Martin Luther King, Elliot decided to address the problems of racial prejudice by dividing her third grade class into groups on the basis of eye color. As profiled in the PBS Frontline Documentary, "A Class Divided," Elliot showed how easy it was to turn her 7-year-old pupils into hate mongerers by making the brown-eyed children the targets of discrimination by the "better" blue-eyed children. Within minutes, the blue-eyed children sadistically ridiculed their unfortunate classmates, calling them "stupid" and shunning them in the playground during recess. Then she flipped the situation and showed that the brown-eyed children, when on top, exacted the same punishments onto their blue-eyed classmates.

So no I don't have any faith in humans as a whole to navigate the waters of honoring 'ethnic heritage". And besides unless you've had a DNA test do you really know your "ethnic heritage"?
