Trump despises people of color, and uses coded language to insult them. He is one of the world's most miserable people and the polar opposite of a good leader. Vitriol and hatred are deplorable qualities. NY hates Trump, for a dozen good reasons. He can't stand being hated, as he is a juvenile and is highly insecure. Ttump should just resign. The world would be so grateful for that.

 

That's neither accurate, nor fair. There is no evidence to support your claim that he despises people of color. Nor is he a miserable man. You just don't understand self made people who persevere and beat the odds. And if he is so hated, why did 3,579,000 New York state / 839,000 New York City voters pick him last election? Can you come up with 3.5 million supporters in NY state?

There is nothing childish about correcting your bizarre belief that the religion of Islam is in fact a race. 😄

 

Maybe just better to accept you are wrong, apologize and we can all pretend you never said it.

Let's get away from the fantasy that it is the wealthy who create an environment which allows the poor to flourish.

 

It is a hard fact that many become wealthy by exploiting their peers, and wish to become wealthier by exploiting them further.

 

I don't believe in "full blown Marxism", but the instinct and ability of the unscrupulous to get richer by stiffing others will only be countered by an element of redistributive taxation.

 

People working two or often more jobs, and still unable to provide a home for or feed their families, not having healthcare or any form of security is quite simply wrong. Mamdami is quite right in saying that. That is why he won.

mmmm in the UK after too many were leaving they are now doing a u turn

Trump, loves communists: Kim.Xi,Vlad,Vic and the list goes on. Before someone tells me they are not communist see what party they represent!

Is this another one of your fixations?

Two week donny is so scared of Jasmine!

Trump is such a loser that anyone who opposes him on any level, in any manner is public enemy number one. That's just how this sad pathetic man operates. He just can't handle criticism, any lack of fealty, or pushback on any level. He is so juvenile. 

 

An example. President Donald Trump on Sunday slammed Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) in a social media post, decrying the lawmaker as “weak,” “lazy” and “pathetic” for opposing him on Iran, the “big, beautiful bill” and more. 

 

Massie, the president wrote on Truth Social, “is not MAGA, even though he likes to say he is. Actually, MAGA doesn’t want him, doesn’t know him, and doesn’t respect him.”

Massie has a history of incurring Trump’s wrath. He was one of only two GOP members of the House to vote against the president’s signature bill last month, and he more recently has been railing against U.S. military involvement in Iran. 

 

On Sunday, he and Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) spoke out against the weekend attack on Iran during a joint appearance on “Face The Nation.” The two last week introduced a bipartisan resolution that would prohibit Trump from striking Iran without explicit authorization from Congress. 

 

Massie called the attack on Iran unconstitutional, while Trump dismissed him as “a negative force” and “a simple minded grandstander.”

 

Trump talking about a negative force. Is he describing himself?

Trump has a history of speech and actions viewed as racist by scholars and public. From being sued by the Dept of Justice for housing discrimination against African-Americans renters, birther conspiracy, Central Park acuusation that it was African American to recent Charlottesville and campaign speeches on Mexico sending in murderers, drugs etc and tweeting about the 4 Dem Congresswomen of colour to "go back".

 

The Election is passe. He is down -24 favourability in New York now.

This. MAGA has gotten so used to these embarrassing rants and tirades, so they can't even see anything wrong with them. I'm mindblown each time I read what he has to say, and thinking this can't be real, can it?

 

But of course it is. The president of the most powerful country in the world, the leader of the free world, is yet again acting like an angry 7 year old crybaby. No respect for anyone who's not praising him like a king, clearly being a racist, no empathy for anyone. Unbelievable. His MAGA supporters must be just like him.

Sorry, your semantic pedantry doesn’t wash. You’re stereotyping an individual because of his belonging to a group. That’s racist.

 

There’s tons online about just this topic -- you can search on <is Islamophobia racist> for instance. But only if you’re interested in learning, and something tells me that you’re not.

You are totally wrong, it's not racist and Islamophobia is a made up word by muslims to demonise and shut down any critic of Islam. I will tell you what was racist, Muhammad having black African slaves!

Islam is a religion. It is not a race any more than Christianity or Buddhism is a race. A child of a black Muslim and a black Christian is not mixed race. 

 

I suggest you learn the difference between race and religion before you continue to embarrass yourself with this nonsense.

For starters, as I’m sure you know, there is no biological reality to “race”: it’s purely a social construct. So “racism” is a form of othering, which, sadly, is all too human a behavior, and easily exploited by demagogues and others seeking power (the easiest way to explain away problems is to blame someone else for them). One can “other” a Muslim just as one can “other” a Black person. Individuals belonging to either of these categories can be similarly lumped together, stereotyped, marginalized, and slaughtered, depending on the circumstances.

 

Is antisemitism a form of racism? Of course it is.

 

More to the point, it’s the same brain chemistry, the same “logic,” that leads, in the mind of the racist, to hatred of Black people (for instance) or hatred of Muslims (for instance). If you want to be a pedant, you can say “racists, Islamophobes, and antisemites,” but the simple word “racist” covers it all, at least in current sociological usage.

 

On your comment that “a child of a black Muslim and a black Christian” is not mixed race, what on earth are you talking about; this is pure deflection. Don’t be absurd.

But we could have some fun with this.

 

Each time someone who follows a faith attains power we might make a statement like 

 

‘Another [insert respective religion] in a position of power’

 

See how far we get through the roll call of the world’s religions before it kicks off.

 

 

Absolutely, perhaps the most egregious example of this is how it is always a Catholic ends up running the Vatican!

Scumbags is the new "to go to" word on the right. It's when they have nothing else to say. So all the time.
