He's right, you found one example of a "Trump supporter" being violent and compared it the riots we've seen since Trump

Klawyou
compared
a few idiots to multiple violent and destructive riots. You absolutely did that.
And for you to bring it up to
defend
stuff like what happened in Berkeley is absurd.
As I thought, you have no idea what I'm actually saying and you're arguing against something I'm not doing.
that has nothing to do with race
Signs that say beep president" have nothing to do with race. I guess I can see how one would think that -

But he's right. Every president has been burned in effigy. I'm guessing Dubya was probably burned more times than Obama. They were burning him in effigy on his 2nd inauguration route. But all of a sudden it's racist when it happens with Obama when it has happened with every other guy before him? What you're saying is racist because it indirectly( or maybe directly) suggest that we need to act differently and treat a black president differently because he's black.
I mean, those few signs with the N-word, I can't help and think that perhaps race might have played a factor. But the burning presidents in effigy is essentially a time honored tradition, black guy or not

I didn't say signs with racial slurs weren't "racial". Klaw just can't read. I said every political leader ever has had effigies made of them and that's not racist.
As far as "signs that said ni gger" again.that was a few racist idiots. With 330 million people in a country you can find examples of anything. That doesn't mean it's a huge movement or a popular thing.
We've seen protesting and rioting since Trump won. This riot happened because of a speaker! What is going on in colleges where a gay Trump supporter speaking is something to riot over? That's insane.
My point is we absolutely did not see anything like this after Obama won. That simply did not happen and people trying to claim it did or make moral comparisons is absurd.
A few racist signs is not in any way comparable to the rioting and violence we're seeing. Not even in the same ballpark. And those racist views weren't mainstream. They weren't defended or spun by the media like these riots and protests have been. -

"I mean, people were burning effigies of Obama in the streets, holding up signs that read n!gger president. You can't accuse the other side of being hypocrites while ignoring what happened when the shoe was on the other foot."
Yeah, I have no idea what you're actually saying.
And who was holding up signs saying we had a "nig. Ger" President Klaw? Was that a widespread thing? Or was it just a few nuts?
I said effigies have nothing to do with race BTW, not signs with racial slurs on them. Your reading comprehension is staggering.you know, for a lawyer. -

Yeah, I have no idea what you're actually saying.
You don't. If you did, you wouldn't be taking the approach that you are.
And who was holding up signs saying we had a "nig. Ger" President Klaw? Was that a widespread thing? Or was it just a few nuts?
That's actually a great question, jim! -
jimanchower — 9 years ago(February 03, 2017 08:11 AM)
Yeah it is a great question Klaw as evidenced by you running from it. Whites voted for Obama in huge numbers in both elections. In 2008 Obama won Indiana lol.red state home of the KKK, right? Boy, the racism Obama faced was really something huh? Being elected twice like that?
Was there some big movement of people running around with signs that said "ni gger" on them and I just missed it? There must have been.you brought it up after all to defend what's going on today. -

Beardy has been epically owned on this thread. Both sides have some violent loons on them, but Beardy is acting like all violent protestors are liberal and anti Trump, ignoring the fact that numerous Trump supporters have committed violence, that Trump promoted violence during the campaign, and that the alt right promotes violence with their repeated intolerant and ignorant statements.

Wait, what? What thread have you been reading? You wanna see "epically owned" just read my response to you in this very thread. I might as well cut off half your foot and call you Kunta Kinta, cause you belong to me after that you little insignificant $hit. I don't care what Lincoln says, you are now my property

We elected a black Democrat for President twice, and I don't remember this kind of violent stuff happening thenjust saying.
The Democrat didn't run on hate. Honestly I'm not sure what we would've seen in Trump lost, considering some of his supporters were threatening 'civil war.'
I'm also curious as to the circumstances behind the altercation, as in who instigated it. Either way it's ridiculous when protests erupt into violence, but it's almost inevitable when you have an emotionally charged crowd an inch away from mob mentality kicking in. It's sad that it came down to that.
Even if he's the one who instigated it (and I'm not saying he is), I hope your friend isn't too badly hurt.
The future is in the hands of a man who has none.

YeahI didn't vote for Trump but I understood his appeal until I saw this:
There's just no excusing that kind of racism towards illegals anymore. For Trump to come out and attack undocumented workers like that is reprehensible. If you're for basic human rights and dignity I don't know how you could support someone who says things like that.
I really don't. -

Worst part is he got beat on by a bunch of hippies I think everyone needs at least one good ass-whoopin in life to give them some perspective, but no one wants to lose to hippies.
Had a buddy in school who got the sh't beat out if him by a kid with 1 hand. That'll humble ya real quick.Sex with animals? There's no time, man!

I've never understood the use of violence as any means of protest - not in the Western world anyway. It can only backfire and weaken your position, and make the opposition feel vindicated in their use of whatever it is you are protesting. Either these protesters are extremely dumb with emotional and anger issues, or they just used the protest as an excuse to bash people's head in, and hope they get away with it because it is supposed to be a 'resistance'. Either way, it's retarded as fúck.

Yeah, you can take your convenience sample and shove it straight up your ass. It doesn't "flip the script," it just shows that you're deficient in the areas of critical thinking and intellectual growth, like most Trumpies.
