DawgTalkers.net Forums DawgTalk Everything Else... Presidential Campaign, Thread 7

Maybe I need new glasses.

Looks like a sea of white people to me.

Doesn't look like a church either.

Great answer.

Haha I posted the same video. Didn't know you did.

Anyway, Eve, the same question can be said.

Most white people are fine, yet only your drug addicts from opiates and mass shooters get all the attention.

But didn't you just say these kind of issues should be covered and not in the background in the other thread?

So what's the standard?

Ummm...I know I am a few years older than Swish but, it looks pretty white to me too.

And, for the record here are the town's demographics as per the 2010 census (nothing more recent on the town's wiki page):


As of the census[2] of 2010, there were 1,234 people, 504 households, and 351 families residing in the village. The population density was 1,371.1 inhabitants per square mile (529.4/km2). There were 530 housing units at an average density of 588.9 per square mile (227.4/km2). The racial makeup of the village was 92.7% White, 0.7% African American, 0.9% Native American, 0.8% Asian, 1.6% from other races, and 3.2% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 4.1% of the population.

The other thread is about terrorism. But nice try to take it out of context.

So he went to a city with pretty much no minorities to lecture minorities?

Him and the governor of Maine should be friends.

Didn't I just say it appeared it was quite non black?

That means, it appeared it was......get this, quite NON BLACK.

Thanks for the respect.

You did and I stand corrected.

It's good to have the video and the demographics posted for those who wanted it put into context.

And I watched the same video BEFORE you or pdx posted it.........and that's when I said something along the lines of "oka, it does appear it was quite non black."


But pdx still tried calling me out.

Who cares if he said it to a white audiance. He knew it would be publicized to where a black audiance can see it. He plays the media like a violin.

And, I also owned up to it (see above).

It's condescending. I believe you can find numerous videos of people discussing it on various news chat shows and why they found it insulting.

I dont find it insulting or care if it gets liberals panties in a wad. Liberals just cant stand him being right.

Or maybe he has no clue because he is the shining example of white privilege, was born into wealth, is himself a billionaire thanks to daddy, has sent his kids to the most expensive private schools and lives in a gleaming tower named after himself.

Meanwhile:

Or maybe liberals cant stand him being right. The liberals on this forum complain about black poverty as often as possible in this forum. Maybe your panties are in a wad because he is right. The Dems have done nothing to improve the situation.

He has to be right, first.

You skipped a step. Don't worry, it happens.

Isn't that how people who get ignored by users react on here? The fact that he can't say it to their face is rather disheartening.

And, once again, it his poor choice of language. The guy has no class, no tact and is completely unprofessional and to be frank, comes across very ignorant.

So what have the Dems done to improve it. Do tell.

And yet he is still right.

As I said to DC a few weeks ago: not much.

The sad part? Not much is still a lot more than what republicans have done.

Can somebody post what he actually did that was condescending? I watched PDX's video but that's obviously not it. Clem referenced a speech a while back in Iowa?

I was gone for most of the day. Cut me some slack here.

Why is trump's campaign people still rolling with this?

They really want to go down with this ship

Thanks. Must've been a timing issue I guess.

He didnt say anything insulting. He spoke the truth that the dems have not done anything to help poor blacks. Liberals got their panties in a wad about it.

I've gone on record, plenty of times, that neither party wants to do anything. Why don't they want? It'll radically flip the power structure, and hat scares too many rich people.

Just look at how MLK got assassinated. He gets shot right when he's about to enact a huge campaign to redistribute wealth in our country.

Redistribute wealth. That's a telling statement.

How was MLK going to get the money to redistribute it?

He was a good person, no doubt.

I'm not sure I get this whole "redistribute" angle.

It makes me wonder what is more condescending.

Person A: Vote for me. Things are bad. What do you have to lose?

Person B: Vote for the person I endorse. I will consider it a personal insult if you don't.

If it was in Iowa I can't remember what he said. To be honest, he has said so many insulting things on this campaign it is hard to keep track.

But, why is it "obviously not it" (the video from Michigan)?

Between the way Swish described Trump's words, and Clem suggesting it was from a rally in Iowa, I thought we were talking about something different. I don't think what he said is insulting, I'm sure we're all adults here and we can handle some political banter.

And... he's kind of right. Here are a few questions for you, and I hope you look into the first part of the question before you research the second part of it.

Which cities in the United States are in the worst condition? Use whatever definition you want in terms of 'worst condition', but I'm thinking along the lines of cities hit by urban decay, that have high poverty, high crime, corrupt politicians, and failing schools.

Once you have a list of these cities, what political party has control of these cities, and for how long has that political party been in control? As a quick/crude way to measure this, go by the mayor, google something like list of [city name] mayors and most major cities have a neat looking wiki page that will show you. I'd be curious to know what you find.

I don't need to do any research because I know the answer to both of these. Just because I lean politically to the left doesn't mean I give passes to politicians simply for being Dem or liberal.

Trump's lack of Presidential stature is what I am calling out. His ego gets in his way. As President the overall job and goal is much bigger than the man. However, I see Trump as being intoxicated with the power and becoming an even bigger narcissist than he already is. Also, as I have said over and over....I demand more from a candidate. I really don't think he is particularly bright and his insults, gaffes and bullying behavior only add to his unsuitability for the job.

You demand more from a candidate? You expect them to lie over and over to you like Hillary does? She plays liberals for fools and you guys fall for it hook line and sucker.

Quoted for truth.

It's weird how the hillary supporters poo poo all her lies, misdeeds, theft, etc.

But most of them couch it with a statement similar to this "I don't like hillary, but................." and attack Trump.

Did I say that? I have acknowledged it. Unfortunately, we have a 2 party system that has put up the two candidates we have. I wont vote for Johnson simply as a protest as Vers seems to want folks to do. I also wont not vote. This election is too important. Trump is by far the worst candidate I have seen in my lifetime. I thought Bush Jr/Cheney and rumsfeld were bad but, Trump is downright frightening. Clinton is flawed, no doubt. I have acknowledged that over and over but, she is far superior to Trump.

Oh, and btw Eve...Trump lies over and over too and are you are cool with it?

The difference between Hillarys lies and Trumps lies is that Hillarys lies are carefully crafted to fool the masses and Trumps are because he isnt bright enough to know he is wrong about something.

So with this rationale you are saying:

A- Clinton is smart and clever
B - Trump isn't very bright

We agree!

As both have been caught lying (show me a politician anywhere in the world who doesn't lie) my vote will go with the smart and clever candidate anyday over the dim wit.

I am voting for Gary so I will have a clean conscience. But you should get used to President Trump because he is trending up in the polls and the only thing standing in his way is the debates.

I am banking on him being destroyed in the debates because I agree with your previous post. He isn't very bright so his feathers will get ruffled and he will eventually resort to schoolyard behavior like he did in the Rep debates.
