More on Trump

[me]

Anyone want to tell me again how Trump is not a racist?

I didn't hear him mention names, he said "those people", and therefore was not being racist since he meant, in all probablilty, whoever done it. What this ad, and you, have both done is take an in general statement and added your own meaning to it by injecting your opinion of what he meant into the in general statement.

Can Aerosmith, R.E.M., Neil Young, The Rolling Stones, and the estate of the late George Harrison (R.I.P.), all be wrong? (I think not).

Their consistent copyright infringement upon the world's musicians is a clear validation of the hypocrisy that is rampant within their party and personal lives. They who not so long ago preached "personal responsibility" blatantly ignore it with impunity. . . 

What will they do to your rights? 

Political campaigns are supposed to obtain licenses to play copyrighted music, according to music licensing lawyer Lawrence Iser. Or they can play songs from the convention hall's catalog of licensed music.

On July 17, the day before the start of the four-day RNC, Queen protested Trump's "unauthorized use" of "We Are the Champions." But the RNC spokesman Sean Springer tweeted that the GOP convention paid to license the use of the song.

You can't be serious.

And it's, "whoever did it."  The verb 'to do' is one of the simplest in the English language; learn how to conjugate it.

Oh I think her history here shows she's quite serious.

Did you read the entire article?  Geesh.

Do you see any names given in what he said? 

He paid a reported $85,000 to take out advertising space in four of the city's newspapers, including the New York Times. Under the headline "Bring Back The Death Penalty. Bring Back The Police!" and above his signature, Trump wrote: "I want to hate these muggers and murderers. They should be forced to suffer and, when they kill, they should be executed for their crimes. They must serve as examples so that others will think long and hard before committing a crime or an act of violence."

That same night, a group of more than 30 youths had entered the park from East Harlem. Some engaged in a rampage of random criminality, hurling rocks at cars, assaulting and mugging passersby. Among the group was Salaam, along with 14-year-olds Raymond Santana and Kevin Richardson, 15-year-old Antron McCray and 16-year-old Korey Wise. The teenagers – four African American and one Hispanic – would become known collectively as the Central Park Five.

I guess you missed this part:  "But examples of overt racism were perhaps kept behind closed doors in the late 1980s.

One year after the Central Park Five were convicted, John O'Donnell, a former executive who ran Trump Plaza hotel and casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey, published a tell-all alluding to his former boss's casual racism behind closed doors.

He quoted Trump as saying: "I've got black accountants at Trump Castle and at Trump Plaza. Black guys counting my money! I hate it. The only kind of people I want counting my money are short guys that wear yarmulkes every day.""

No he didn't mention names, but any one with half a brain knows what he was saying.  And the above quote is pretty telling on his racism.

Just because someone say's a person said something does not make it true as I've been told many times on here. Putting it in a book or saying he said it does not mean he actually did say it.

You don't have to read a damn book.  All you have to do is listen to him.

I haven't heard him say anything racist. Now I have heard him disagree with current policy which, according to libs, is racist but that doesn't count.

So nothing about that Mexican judge was racist huh?   Oh wait, we covered that already.

Mentioning a persons nationality does not make one a racist.

Mentioning a persons nationality does not make one a racist.

Claiming that that person can't be impartial because of his nationality is...all. day. long.

No, it is not, especially if things in the past have happened to show that to be the case or comments he made show it.
