    Huh? I'm saying stereotyping, and double standards applied when condemning stereotyping "are terrible". Pretty much a recurring theme in all my replies.

    Let me know when Don Lemon was talking about any other country besides the US?

    If the belief that gives you comfort at night is that "dark people are bad" universally -- shout it from the highest tree tops -- I could care less.......

    Lemon wasn't stereotyping.

    He was telling the truth.

    How quickly you forget the twin towers in your attempt to demonize white men.

    I don't think that anyone who REALLY supports Trump (and isn't just spewing RW BS to get a rise out of people) has any idea about what the term "racism" means.

    Anyone who denies that is either lying or just isn't paying attention.

    I am well aware what it is and can spot it a mile away. Don Lemon is a racist. It's also pretty hypocritical of you to consistently bash Trump and give Don Lemon a pass.

    No ... Don Lemon bad. Tell me stereotypes are fine, and Don shouldn't be fired like Megyn because he's black, gay and liberal. It's the truth.

    The first thing we have to do is to be in agreement on the meaning of racist.

    How many strawmen will you use to prevent talking about Don Lemon keeping his job because his black privilege allows it? Your OP ain't about policy, it's about exposing privilege ... Lemon's.

    You just posted the EXACT same thing (about a half hour ago in post #70).

    Is there in an echo in here?

    Or are you that strained for fresh material?

    Nothing personal, just a friendly inquiry.

    Oh, and back on topic, don't Trump's legions have anything better to do than bash African American Newsman?

    I've seen violent crime over 50% but no not "all" crime".. That would be amazing for 13% of the population to pull that off now wouldnt it!

    Statistically and based on precedent, yes, white men are the biggest terror threat in this country. Saying this helps illustrate how absurd the right-wing fear mongering directed at various non-white immigrants is.

    OK :roll: Don't sweat it either. I will never waste my breath reminding you about the truth being an absolute defense for hateful stereotyping.

    and how quickly you forget the OKC bombing in your attempt to defend white supremacists...

    Did ANYONE say that ALL WHITE MEN are terrorists? No...we don't even say that all terrorists are white men..

    But time and time and time and time again -- we have heard people say "not all muslims are terrorists, but all terrorists are muslim" -- and it is usually said to rationalize policies crafted to target muslims in general..

    Can you name for me one policy that is being crafted to target white men? Not your feelings, not what you think, I am talking actual policies..

    So 116 is < then 109 ? That is the only way Lemon would be "telling the truth" ( btw those numbers come from the GAO study he and the post looked at)

    No amount of spin can make a false claim true.

    You are saying you saw blah blah blah as if it somehow helps make the false claim true.
