A hood rat that was all in for Trump last year has changed his tune and he said he knows guys that feel the same. Trump's "black jobs" comment is his "deplorables".....

Initially I didn’t think Kamala would have a chance stepping in this late but coming around that she can whoop his fat a**. I’m praying she goads him into some serious mysoginstif racist stuff. It shouldn’t be hard.
This entire long post is a perfect example of missing the point. The only question is whether it is deliberate, or just the result of long-held and impregnable bias.old salt wrote: ↑Fri Aug 02, 2024 1:41 am Why deny DEI ? Own it. Brag about it.

It's weird that people have to continually explain/spin what Trump actually meant when he speaks vs. what he said.youthathletics wrote: ↑Thu Aug 01, 2024 10:48 pm More confusion, rather than understanding?
He meant the jobs of Black people. And we’ve been using that term for a while," said Diante Johnson, president of the Black Conservative Federation. "It’s any job. Instead of Black people having unlimited accessibility to all types of jobs, illegal immigrants are taking their jobs from them."

How the press and social media and politicians themselves edit, distort and curate pithy sound bites for desired context can make benign appear malignant, and visa-versa. Easy enough to find examples illustrating this phenomenon from all sides. Consequences for being called out are minimal, as the points are already on the scoreboard and the base has gobbled up and regurgitated the message. It's already on to the next, and the next, ad infinitum.
Well each circumstance you mention between either person still involves interpretation to decipher what is being said.NattyBohChamps04 wrote: ↑Fri Aug 02, 2024 10:31 am There's a difference in interpreting things like "black jobs" and "sh~thole countries" and "I'm gonna rule like a dictator on the first day only" and "you won't have to vote any more... it'll be fixed" and "turned black" on and on
