It’s racist because everyone knows that young black men are all thugs?

??? They were slain THUGS DAMMIT!!

Dontre Hamilton, Jordan Davis, Hadiya Pendleton, and Sandra Bland where thugs? If you make blanket statements and paint everyone with the same broad brush then you leave yourself open for results like this. He didn't lose his job because he was racist, he lost if because he was dumb.

Those in charge of the station just admitted that they like many others believe thugs are the equivalent to blacks.

No one who loves freedom should be on Zuckerberg’s anti- First Amendment Facebook. He is a Leftist who believes the right to free speech only belongs to Leftists. Why keep adding to his billions of dollars when he is damaging our country by being one of the biggest contributors to ungodly causes? Dump Facebook.

Facebook is a leftist enterprise.

Whenever anyone wants to rant and rave to an audience, then by all means use Free Republic which costs (if you care to contribute) a few dollars a month and you don’t have that annoying pop up advertisements to wade through.

He is also a licensed realtor/broker. He will land on his feet.

A ‘thu’g is simply a violent out of control dude in this country. People want to make it about race because we are all PC nowadays. It isn’t. It’s certainly an insult, but not a racial insult. How many times have I heard, the GOP dismissively described as is just a bunch of ‘white guys’. If a guy dismissively said the Dems were just a bunch of minorities, I guess that gets you fired too. Trump is a bit over-the-top but, he’s sticking it to the PC culture....which I love.

Boiled down to its essence political correctness is lying, it’s denial of reality.

Coming to think of it, it’s much more pernicious than just lying, it’s coercing every one to believe the lie to embrace the lie and to celebrate the lie.

It’s pure evil camouflaged as goodness.

What makes me back Trump despite some of his foibles is that he has taken a sledgehammer to PC.

Go Trump!

Well, Brown was a thug. So was Trayvon Martin.

Because we are not allowed to speak the truth about race and crime. Young black men are about 3% of the population but commit about 50% of the murders.

True. But he didn't single them out. He lumped all of them in as thugs. And his Facebook page did him in.

He has said the right things. I want to give him a chance to do the right things.

There is no possibility Hillary will be better than Trump on any issue and she will be a clear and present danger to my rights. Here SCOTUS appointments alone will destroy this nation. Any Conservative that doesn’t vote for Trump is giving us that fatal outcome.

And, your point is??? Americans should reject a candidate who makes slips at time, but supports our desires to have our borders secure, better trade deals, less involvement from crony capitalists, and a stronger, safer America for a lying criminal who compromised American security in order to broker payoffs from foreign countries, massively screwed up foreign policy on the Middle East, is indebted to international globalists, and has the blood of dead Americans on her hands?
