I guess any criticism of an African American is racism, regardless of its truth.

You were close, but here's the truth:

I guess any criticism of any non-white African American is racism, regardless of its truth.

“I guess any criticism of an African American is racism, regardless of its truth.”

Seems that way. What I wonder is how many people who hear about it believe that it was a racist comment?

Of course it is, haven’t you been listening? The story will be reported as “Pelosi slams Trump’s racist tweet”. And in a day or two, “Trump’s latest racist tweet...” even though no race has been mentioned.

On the bright side, besides the fact that President Trump is willing and able to actually say what most people are really thinking, he may be in the midst of taking away one of the democrats’ favorite weapons—the race card.

Rational people, and I hope most people are, are going to notice that the ones crying ‘racist’ are, in fact, the ones who seem to always being the ones to inject race into an issue. At some point people have to notice that the race emperors are wearing no clothes.

If you’re white you’re a racist, by definition.

Yes apparently it is. It used to be where I tried not to speak to people of color even if its a compliment, because I didn’t want to offend in some convoluted way. Now I don’t give a flip. The rule now is if you disagree, you are racist. I guess I am then.

Glad I read the posts before replying....I was going to say the same thing!

Well you cannot discuss any issues of a substantive nature if someone of another race is involved without being called racist.

I'm sure that most Americans are so disgusted by the absurd charges of "racism" every time one of us says something that our political enemies don't agree with.

the fact of the matter is that Cummings and pelosi's accusation against Trump is in itself an act of Racism to the highest degree,

They are assuming that Trump is engaging in accusations of truth because he is "white" and for NO other reason, not words not actions, only based upon Pelosi and Cummings race belief bias

rac·ism/definition

prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior.

the belief that all members of each race possess characteristics or abilities specific to that race, especially so as to distinguish it as inferior or superior to another race or races.

blacks can also be VERY racist, especially against whites
