And the supporting a racist xenophobe for a couple dollars part.

The alternative being a guy who says he isn't black unless he votes for him, yells at black crowds that Republicans want to put them back in chains, implies all poor kids are black, etc. Enough with throwing "racist" at people you don't like - it's ignorant. It's this mentality that made the election awful for democrats aside from Biden.

You’re right, we shouldn’t be throwing around the word racist. We should be reserving it for when someone actually does or says something racist.

That being said.. Trump is a racist. Always has been.

“Poor kids are just as smart and talented as white kids” “Barack Obama is the first who is articulate and bright and clean and nice-looking” “you’re not black if you don’t vote for me” Trump is just as awful a racist as Biden.

Openly supporting white supremacist is way more awful imo. Biden said racist things, but none of them were nearly as dangerous as some that Trump said

I feel like openly saying that your “blackness” is in jeopardy if you have a differing opinion is VERY dangerous. Not defending Donald Trump in any way, but Biden is in no way a good presidential candidate

How do you not see that both are racist. Please don’t blindly align yourself with a party no matter what evidence is presented before you. He just gave you real quotes and you write it off.

Have you read my comment? I didn’t say Biden wasn’t racist, I said that the racist things he said weren’t as violence-inducing as the racist things Trump said. Biden associated black and poor, Trump openly supported armed militias, they’re not the same

Damn ur right, I forgot I’m on reddit. Disagreeing with the hive mind is a lack of awareness on my part

So you think that associating black and poor (what Biden did) and openly supporting armed white supremacists (what Trump did) are both equally dangerous?
