Trump posts racist video of the Obamas

His latest ramblings that mid term elections aren’t needed are terrifying.

Yes, Basgetti and Steve Bannon has already worked out a way to do this.

‘I try not to rush to be a sheeple where cries of racism or anything else is mentioned.’

I am happy to be a sheeple if racism is being called out for what it is. The more people who become outraged by this the better. If it was antisemitic or Islamophobic I would feel the same. Racism is racism and must be met with as many people calling it out as possible. There are no medals for being an outlier or apologist, that doesn’t show how brave a person is to go against the crowd in a matter like this. Quite the opposite.

Who wants a medal? What a curious comment.
I have noticed on many threads that people do sometimes become sheeple, as in wanting to fit in with the crowd.
I prefer to do my own thinking on any subject, and if it doesn’t fit with the crowd that bothers me not a jot.
Actually it’s always brave to go against a crowd and a possible pile on where forums are concerned.
It doesn’t make anyone right or wrong in this case it’s purely as an individual ( or crowd) sees it.

In any case it will be a nine day wonder like many things in the news around Trump.
There are many more important things to worry about.

Oreo I think most of us on here are capable of independent thought. To class other GNs as sheeple because they don't agree with you is insulting.

You know what they say, when you are in a hole, stop digging. Oreo, the majority are saying you are incorrect. They are providing arguments and evidence. You can choose not to accept that, but people aren't necessarily sheep. There are lots of bad things happening in the world. This is one them

Trump and his volatility threatens global security. Pretty important thing to consider.

It’s a known psychological happening on SM.
I don’t need anyone to agree with me.I just don’t rush to assume racism ….had the Obamas been depicted that way without being part of a medley of other characters being animals from films and a white Biden being a banana eating ape then I would agree with others.As it is, I don’t.
Not much else to say.

Which is exactly what I said earlier in the thread! We should be worrying about what he will do on the global stage rather than idiotic animal memes about Democratic politicians.

It’s possible to be concerned about both. That a racist, misogynistic homophobe should be in such a position of power is horrifying.
What you consider an idiotic meme is a demonstration to millions of black people around the world of just how dangerous he is and seemingly with impunity. It’s another very clear example of the measure of the man and must be taken seriously by everyone, not excused as some sort of trivial joke. It’s very far from that.

The majority are thinking that I’m incorrect you mean, they are not providing evidence or arguments that wash with me shall we say.It’s down to opinion.
So should they stop digging too, or just somebody with a different view?
Tbh I don’t think there’s anything to add now from either perspective.

Voice of reason as usual.
With all the terrible things going on in the world some people choose to get outraged about this. ?

Good god!
You don’t believe overt racism by the most powerful man on earth to be worthy of outrage?

Kandinsky I think people often seem to react far more stridently to something like this than the really serious stuff.

This is really serious stuff.
The POTUS feels secure enough in his absolute power to be viciously and openly racist about the former holder of that title and his wife.
Most intelligent people are perfectly capable of worrying about myriad issues at the same time. This thread is about Trump’s racism. No doubt people comment about other serious issues in the appropriate thread.

You don't think this is serious stuff? The president of the US, a very powerful individual, has been overtly racist in a childish way.
This man is not suitable at all for this important role.
He can do so much damage in that position.
So not serious at all in your opinion!

It’s not serious to the world, that’s the thing.With his Armada already close to Iran and Russia pushing at the doors to Europe there is much to really worry about.

Oh definitely.

It's as pathetic as it is disgusting.
I hope that the Obamas treat it with the contempt that it deserves.
How Trump hates anyone who is everything ( in a good way) that Trump isn't.

Should be shocked but I’m not. Racism seems to be endemic in some sections of the population. They don’t even realise it. So very sad.

Are you black, Oreo?

That’s it, it’s childish stuff, he was amused by a 60 second video which was actually around three months ago and he put up on his Truth Social site.Taken down not long after.
Of course he isn’t suitable for the role but for far more serious reasons than that.

Are you?

Black ancestry some generations ago but I’m white.
