Disclaimer: In no way is the following comment an endorsement or
statement of support for Donald Trump. That said:

What did he say that is "racist" in nature? He erroneously
claimed
that
the Mexican government exports criminals, rapists and drug
dealers to
the USA. He didn't say anything derogatory about Mexicans in
general.

He's wrong of course, but I don't see he statement as "racist".
He's against illegals, but so is the majority of the US
population.



Harry thinks everyone is a racist.
It is just short hand for "I disagree with them".
I totally disagree with the assertion but I think Trump is just
trying
to appeal to the hard hat gang and that crosses racial lines.
I think the anti-immigrant demographic is the "working class"
who feel
their job may be in danger.
The ironic thing is, down here, the Latinos are actually doing
jobs
Americans will not do. When it is 95 in the shade, you need someone
who is used to working in the heat. Those northern white boys
are not
going to be able to deal with it.
A guy who was raised in central Mexico never knew anything else.

The Mexicans I've hired and seen working seem to have a tremendous
work ethic. I've
no problem with legal Mexican immigrants. Just their legality shows
they're willing
to put forth a lot of effort to get something accomplished.

The illegals? Well, they've already broken the law once.

The liberals would much rather leave the distinction out of their
comments. Trump
referred to *illegals*, but the liberal media continues to apply his
comments to
*all* Mexicans. This whole episode is showing how the liberal media
can inflame a
situation as it desires.



I agree with you. The dishonesty is just written off as being
"politics".






You guys think that Trump is only referring to illegals? Get up to
speed
on GOP "coding."


Is there an official decoder that you use approved and sanctioned by
the
DNC?

Words matter, as you like to remind everyone. They are especially
important in politics because they are usually recorded and available
for public playback at any time. It's what croaked Romney.





There are lists of words Republican candidates use that have racial,
ethnic, and gender connotations well-known to the GOP "base" voter but
which sound innocuous enough. Sometimes they are called "dog whistle"
words or phrases. Examples: "Where's the original birth certificate?"
"Death panels" "Urban"

Ad what does your statement have to do with Trump? You're shifting off
topic, Harry. That statement of yours *looks* like a 'save face' comment.



It warms my heart to see Trump get so much support here from the usual
right-wing suspects.

Trump, by the way, is a big fan of his fellow bigots, Tony Perkins and
Ralph Reed:

In 2011 Trump declared, "I recently spoke to Ralph Reed and Tony Perkins
and I was really impressed, they have great reputations and I have been
hearing about them for years." He added that they were "smart people."

Your debating skills are getting rusty Harry. The subject under
discussion is whether Trump's recent comments regarding illegal Mexican
immigrants are racist or not.

I haven't seen anyone express "support" for Trump in this newsgroup.
Nice try though.

Lots of people and organizations are calling The Donald a racist. As for
spoken support in this group, what diff does it make?
