... has sought to elevate the discourse… to just beneath the floorboards...

I wonder if he realizes that in order to elevate something to a low place, it has to have started in an even lower place - like in his feeble mind.

Reminds me of the "poets" of the '60s who thought they were being really deep with something like: "I bit a dog turd....tasted like poop....."

Blacks, it is time to use your brain, if you have one or not.

Re: Treatment by sales people

When my husband and I travel, I plan **not** to stop at any of the rest stops on Indian reservations. Why? Because I do not like the resentful, cold, and hateful looks from the service stations’ clerks.

Trump is trying to unite people to love America and point out those who won’t, those who are divided and causing division...

I treat people who are a different color than I with far, far more respect than I receive from them...

So I stand with Trump...I stood with Trump before standing with Trump was cool...

If you don’t love America, leave it...And I’ll stand for your right to hate America all the way to the boat dock...

The author is just another anti-white racist. I’m tired of being judged just because I’m white. All my life I’ve had to listen to this crap.

This a-hole knows nothing about me, and nothing about the other white people he’s judging.

It’s impossible to prove a negative, but even if you could prove you’re not racist, they just fall back to an even less provable judgement: we’re guilty of having benifited from “white privilege”.

This passive aggressive psycho babble reminds me of the social drinker’s dilemma: in psychobabble world, it is widely held that denying you are an alchoholic is a symptom of alcoholism. And the way to prove a woman is not a witch is throw her in the water - if she drowns, she wasn’t a witch.

As absurd and spurious the invention of “white privilege” may be, this author has gone one step further: even if you are 100% innocent, you must judge and condemn other whites (Trump) in order to be truly absolved.

I’m pro Trump BECAUSE he doesn’t fall for this nonsense.

Great post!

What he - and others like him - doesn’t get is that “choosing sides” in a war is no good when there are no uniforms.

If race-based violence breaks out where you are - all that will matter is your skin color. The fact that you’re a Social Justice Warrior wearing a Che shirt and a rainbow headband will mean nothing.

I honestly don’t know what these people are thinking.

From the article:

The laundry list of things Donald Trump is doing to separate a segment of white Americans from one another, along with the rest of this country is ringing a proverbial bell that can’t be un-rung.

Notice how the author never gets around to listing any of this "laundry list" of "things Donald Trump is doing"? It's not intended to engage readers' reason. It merely takes for granted that Trump = bad and YTs are complicit in some nondescript kind of way.

Emotional appeals are the weakest and emptiest kind of rhetoric.

I don’t have to waste much of my word count on how Donald Trump has been trying to bring us together… around dividing us into sides. It’s not necessary to explain the ways in which his rhetoric - via speeches at rallies, non-stop tweets, and numerous pieces of policy - has sought to elevate the discourse… to just beneath the floorboards.


Wrong, author. You do need to explain this.

I’ve heard most of Donald Trump’s speeches and read the transcripts. I have seen NOTHING that divides us other than into Americans and Not Americans, which means not citizens or residents.

Every quote the Left takes out of context is PATENTLY out of context. Since running for President he has never said any divisive words to separate. Leftists take his words and find secret “dog whistles” that only they understand, that don’t have any merit in logic or refer to Trump’s actions.

So, before you tell people of European ancestry, or, people with a slightly higher percentage of European ancestry than you, how to think or behave, you DO need to show us exactly how President Trump wishes to divide us into groups and races.

But you will not be able to from his words or actions.

You know, it seems to me that what is labeled “privilege” is nothing of the sort. Viewed only through lenses of jealousy and hate, “success” only looks like “privilege”. The left have been so good at handing out their thick, dirty glasses that their followers can’t see straight.

Whether we are white or black, our parents and teachers (school teacher, life teacher, simply the ones from which we learn) have a great deal to do with our success. They instruct us on how to think, live, solve problems, relate to others, and just basically understand our surroundings. Without them, only the most determined learn how to think, behave, and live properly.

If the left has broken up your family, and made sure your education is crap, you cannot succeed - you lack “privilege”. Viola! - They have you now, because you have no background or foundation from which to view them properly as your enemy, and not your friend.

And we, white or black, succeed because we have learned how to properly behave in civilized society. (”I’m sorry, Officer, I didn’t realize I was going over the limit. Here’s my license.”) Just because the followers of the left don’t have that training doesn’t mean that those of us who do, are “privileged”. Don’t be mad at the successful. Be mad at those who made sure you couldn’t succeed. They did it on purpose so you would need them.

To you malcontent, “under-privileged” poor souls, here’s your first lesson: Shut up and stop ticking of those off us who have succeeded. Some of us would be more than happy to show you how to do it.
