    What "rhetoric" do you think appeals to them?

    BLM has been discussed since 2014 when they were created, the Black Panthers have been discussed since 2008. The irony of your post is that both were created due to the victimhood mentality. You wanna try again?

    Strange attitude to have on a discussion forum. :confusion:

    So then can I ask why do you make your 10+ anti-Trump posts a day if you don't actually want to talk about them?

    Is it just a coping mechanism for dealing with the reality of a Republican controlled government?

    Or rather is it that I brought the inconvenient reality about the Left's support of an actual domestic terrorist platform into a thread where you were trying to erroneously accuse the Right of doing the same?

    Those stories are year round because they occur year round black criminal don't ramp it up around elections and BLM started between elections cycles and had nothing to do with elections except nothing that Obama invited these racist criminal to the WH.

    Can you give me some examples of this riling up for the election you are speaking of? Which networks, which commentators, which reporters.

    - - - Updated - - -

    So you don't care about the facts.

    Again why do you on the left give the KKK any credibility at all. You're their best fund raisers.

    Why did you respond to a post about violence by changing the subject to road blocking?

    Keep drinking your Leftist (hate) kool-aid. Mind actually taste better then yours right now - thanks, but no thanks. I will give Trump time to get sworn in before I start criticizing. How about you? Nah, I doubt you can.

    Trump won in 30 States. That means that a clear majority, 60%, of the States want him to be President. He won by the rules so the Dems need to stop whining. They will win in 2024.

    Would you say people who protest with and support black lives matter are affiliated with black lives matter? Do you think every single one of them is a member of black lives matter?

    The people who rioted after trumps election were all connected because they were doing the same thing in the same place...which organization were they officially attached to?

    Click the link genius...it has nothing to do with blocking public highways which is illegal anyway, the white -nationalist in the link were legally permitted to protest and were attacked before they even got started.

    Like it or not, liberals do not get to choose who is allowed free speech based on whether they agree with it or not.

    And I'm still waiting for you to post proof of recent high profile violent attacks from white-nationalist, not saying it did not happen, but I would think if it was recent,high profile and in the US I would have heard of it.

    A lone gunman in a church does not count, Dylan Roof acted alone regardless of his racism unless you can prove he was acting under orders or encouragement from the white-nationalist party, which was founded in Britain btw.

    But the US Government does not, and most murders in the US outside of spree or serial killings are directed at a specific target and many of victims know or at least have some kind of connection to their killer.

    Radical Islam makes no such distinction, their goal is to kill as many people as possible regardless of race, religion, or anything else and publicize it world wide if they can, even if it means killing themselves in the process.

    To compare the two is ridiculous, no civilized country in the world does that.

    Whites do not vote for the president based on race...Obama's 2 terms should have told you that!

    How do you figure true stories of black or white crime is going to get anyone to the polls if they have no intention of going?

    There is nothing the incoming president can do about it regardless of who is elected other than try to improve race relations. :roll:

    Who's whining? Just pointing out the facts.

    Trump's win in most of those swing states was tiny. Meaning the reason why he won is...some Democrats abandoned Hillary.

    Ok, all that is fine, and I'm not even disagreeing with you. But just because someone decides to shout "Allahu Akbar!" during a shooting doesn't mean they are actually part of ISIS or any other radical group. Again, there was no evidence that the Orlando shooter was involved with ISIS, despite what he shouted.

    Most people don't vote based on race. I never said most whites voted based on race.

    Simple really. The narrative is that the Democrats and Obama are anti white racists who are condoning blacks attacking whites. Repeat that narrative over and over again, show videos of so called "knock out games" and get someone like Donald Trump to tweet false crime statistics about blacks and shout over and over again that he is the "law and order" president, and it's easy to get white conservative voters to the polls that way.

    He won't improve race relations, he'll make them worse. Trump is a divisive character who's entire campaign was based on divisive/race baiting rhetoric. Like Jeb Bush said, Trump insulted his way to the presidency. Actually, Jeb was wrong, because he said Trump could NOT insult his way to the presidency, but Trump did just that.

    There is no bottom for the fanatical right. They have nowhere but down in their future. Will they drag the rest of the world down with them? Stay tuned.

    I know you are just trying to make your point and I apologize for the snide remarks I made earlier.

    But again...you do not have to be officially attached to a group to be connected or affiliated with it.

    The protesters/rioters in portland after the election were connected/affiliated with each other because they were protesting the same thing, at the same time, in the same place, for the same reason, yet they were not collectively a part of any 1 group or organization,this was arranged on social media, many of them did not live there and most of them did not even vote.

    We will just agree to disagree if your cool with that...there is no point in butting heads over this any further when neither of us is going to change our opinion.

    Interesting discussion though, thanks for your time. :thumbsup:

    If every single idiot in the KKK and white supremacist movement failed to vote, it wouldn't have mattered one bit. Their numbers are irrelevant, as are they. That being said, Obama's rhetoric appealed to the black panthers, Muslim brotherhood, communist party members, socialists and every other deplorable out there.

    Fair enough, and it was good discussing this particular topic with you.

    - - - Updated - - -

    What exactly did Obama say to appeal to any of them?

    You apparently think most whites in the GOP do...you have already claimed that Fox focuses on black crime to get GOP voters to the polls, why would you say that unless you think they are racists?



    I don't know about most democrats or Obama, but BLM most certainly is otherwise they would not be booing and confronting anyone who simply says "all lives matter", and they were invited to the white house during the Obama administration.

    Most videos of the "knockout game" are already on youtube and are shot by the perpetrators, not the victim...are you claiming that this does not happen?

    Can you link me to trumps tweets with false crime statistics about blacks? These are easily accessible on the fbi's website. Do you have a problem with "law and order"? Why would you if the crime statistics are false?



    And you have no way of knowing that...neither mexican or muslim is a race, Hispanic is a race and can be any color, descendants from the middle east and north africa are classified as white on the US Census so what exactly are you claiming is "race-baiting"...enforcing the law?

    Never mind...Trump could have the exact same policies as Obama or Hillary and people like you would still hate him simply because he ran as a republican. :roll:

    Edit: Sorry After Hours...meant to combine this with the other post but ran out of time, Good Night.

    Lol what has this to do with the fact that
    Trump enjoys tweeting supremacists and nationalist over and over again. and that this fact encourages haters and Klansman to support him. Suddenly you clam up run away from the facts and the issues and spout out some hate speech about leftist cool-aid but no real attempt to speak in support of Trump's grizzly behavior.

    No, not all, in fact probably not most. If I came across as if I was making a generalization, I apologize. I live in an area that's pretty Republican, and none I know personally are racist. They are very good people who's politics I happen to disagree with. But then again, we just usually avoid talking politics all together. The fringe is who I was talking about and, IMO, Trump definitely got a good portion of the fringe vote.


    My opinion about BLM is that they probably started off as a legitimate group with legitimate concerns about violence against blacks by cops, who was then hi-jacked by radicals and thugs who just want to riot for the sake of it. I don't think every BLM member riots or attacks cops, and I suspect many of the rioters don't care about BLM and just use the killing or murder of someone by a cop as a justification to loot and steal.


    Sure: http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-m...mp/trump-tweet-blacks-white-homicide-victims/

    And no I don't have a problem with Law and Order.

    We'll just have to agree to disagree here.

    I could say the same thing about you guys. Obama's a centrist who governed like a centrist, and you guys called him a socialist and hated everything he did. As for Trump...he's a New Yorker who has held pretty liberal positions throughout his life. I don't like him as a person for a variety of reasons, and it has nothing to do with him being the GOP nominee/president elect. Two guys from your party that I preferred over ANY Democrat candidate this election cycle was Chris Christie and John Kasich.
