"“I said to the president, ‘do you realize how painful that term is to so many people? African Americans believe they migrated to America in chains, and when you speak to chain migration it hurts them personally,'” Durbin explained. “He said, ‘oh that’s a good line.'”

Ha! Classic Trump.
 
This sort of drivel from the Democrats, makes me think Trump is rather Saintly. No way could I sit with this sort of obtuse ignorance either way.
 
Why the hell are you so worried about it?? Racism doesn't even effect you.
 
Isn' Durbin a cracka? How can we believe these white devils?

There is no honest debate anymore regarding if our President is a racist. You could argue the fine points on each individual incident if that’s an example of his racism or something else, but at the root of the question there is no ambiguity left. Trump is a racist.

You do know, you have not added a thing. This is a repeat of your well known position.

The question is about "Chain". Is that now an unusable word as Durbin suggests?

I would say no, it’s usable but context always matters. When using it in reference to people of color you might not want to already be a well known racist like trump. It colors the usage.

God forbid “chain migration”. It’s only the most Lilly way for peoples to fully assimilate into their new culture. It’s family, it’s integration, it’s humane, but.... fuck em!
 
Before 1916ish I did not have a single relative in America. Thankfully America brought in our huddled masses through Ellis Island. Now we are a family of doctors, ranchers, business people, lawyers, teachers and artists. We were the dregs of society, slipping out of the ghettos of Europe a few years ahead of when we would have all been put to death.

I love America and am very proud to be an American. I am not proud of everything America does or everything America is standing for nowadays.

You don't see any difference in today's America and the past? You see a need to invite how many poor unskilled people here?

Someone recently mentioned basic income in one of the threads here. In regards to automation......How about we put a hold on inviting people here we don't need until we're sure we can provide them what the American dream once was.

I truly believe the American Dream is more likely to be a reality if we continue to bring in people from all sorts of backgrounds who have persisted through all sorts of strife. It’s through struggle that hustle is spawned. It’s through poverty that ingenuity and upward aspirations are born. If we close off we become stagnant, wanting to save every morsel of what we have for ourselves instead of inventing new morsels for the future. Diversity of cultures, diversity of backgrounds and diversity of aspirations are what will drive the future and create the next America Dream.

Apparently any term he uses he has to check with you because he's a racist.

Even if that term isn't racist (it obviously isn't)

He is racist regardless of the terms he chooses. He has proven it too many times. My assumption every time he talks is that he will say something racist, sexist or just plain stupid. I don’t need to think much about it anymore, I have made a conclusion.

When you are told the color of your skin makes you inherently racist I'd say you have a stake in the conversation.

That's a bullshit copout. I presumably have the same color skin as you and it doesn't make me racist. Perhaps some thoughts I have had at different times made me racist or at least made me have to confront racist tendencies, but it's also my thoughts and beliefs that keep me from being a racist. Not my skin color.

but go ahead, Oh woe is me, everyones against poor Whitey McWhitefield. Grow a pair.

Ok I'll admit that alot of liberal leaning people don't necessarily adhere to the idea that the more hardcore ones present: the notion that being white inherently makes you racist. BUT, there are enough people out there spreading that idea that it's only fair to be able to muster a defense. How does racism not affect a white person when they are the accused in the eyes of so many people? I'm not saying "aw poor me", I didn't actually say anything for you to invent that sentiment on my behalf, it was just a cheap shot by you. I like how you managed to slip in your chickenshit "I'm not racist by the way" disclaimer while shitting all over me for basically saying the same thing.

The entire discussion is about white people being racist. From beginning to end.

The only thing that will ever change is we'll eventually be the minority. Then we'll be discriminated against and they'll use that we were racist as the reason.

Louis CK explained some of this.

Whites wanting to hold onto that is perfectly natural.

We're super fucked long term.

The discussion might be about white people being racist, but it's not about ALL white people being racist. That notion is bullshit, and should never be subscribed to. The fact that you liked his post makes me think you didn't get this.
