Give me a friggin break. Friggin liar. No one has done more than trump to divide us as a nation. President Trump Speaks in Support of A$AP Rocky
: In one of the more surreal moments from a presidency filled with few not-surreal moments, President Trump spoke out today in support of rapper A$AP Rocky, who has been jailed in Sweden for more than two weeks after an altercation with fans he said were harassing him. “A$AP Rocky is a situation in Sweden, a great country, and friends of mine and the leadership,” the president said in his familiar fractured phrasing, “and we’re going to be talking to them, we’ve already started. Many, many members of the African-American community have called me, friends of mine, and said can you help? I personally don’t know A$AP Rocky but I can tell you he has tremendous support from the African American community in this country. When I say African American, I think I can really say from everybody in this country because we’re all one.”Article here: President Trump Speaks in Support of A$AP Rocky

Ha ha ha ha! Colin Kaepernick also had "tremendous support from the African -American community." Trump wasted no time denigrating him and raking him through the coals. Also told him he should leave the country.
Fucking hypocritical dumbass.

I personally don’t know A$AP Rocky but I can tell you he has tremendous support from the African American community in this country. When I say African American, I think I can really say from everybody in this country because we’re all one.” Kanye West asked Trump to intervene. Since Kanye represents all blacks and adores Trump, Trump intervened. Plus, this now gives Trump something he can hold forth as how much he is doing for The Blacks and now they will all vote for him.

Maybe too little-too late in the African American communities. trump will screw up big yet again. he cannot help himself.

Does Trump think if he makes Kayne happy, every black person in America will love Trump?
So - all black people think exactly alike, politically?

I'll never forget some woman on social media who was bitching about the historical incorrectness of the movie Lincoln because at the beginning it showed two black men in union uniforms, one speaking a more rural dialect, the other talking with an educated Northern accident.
The woman explained that, back during the Civil War, all the blacks were illiterate and talked in a kind of slave dialect (I'm guessing she thought they all talked like Jim in Twain's Huck Finn).
Racists see all the various racial groups (besides their own) as uniform blocks of identical (inferior) humans.

All this posturing is just damage control by a racist President. It won't work. We can see right through this lukewarm attempt.
On another note, Trump offered to pay his bail. Sweden doesn't have a bail system, you dumbass.

Wait until he finds out that A$AP is a liberal who supported Obama. He's going to demand the death penalty, which also doesn't exist in Sweden.

This reminds of the case from a couple of years ago when three basketball players were accused of shoplifting in China. While they were being held under house arrest in their hotel rooms pending misdemeanor charges, Trump arrived in the country. He talked to the Chinese leader and the basketball players ended up flying home. The experts' take on the situation: Standard procedures in cases like this would be to perhaps house arrest the shoplifters for 20 days, then send them home with a stern warning. Trump's take on the situation: If it hadn't been for me, these basketball players would have spent 10 years in prison! Now, grovel before me and give me thanks! Then, when one of the fathers refused to give Trump the proper groveling thanks, Trump labeled him an "ungrateful fool." Trump is only in this for the glory.

I an always saying that all white people look alike. I can't pick my daughter out of the line up of ballerinas for a full minute. I can only tell which soccer player is my son because they have numbers on their back. And I have to use IMDB a lot because I swear Kiera Knightley and Natalie Portman are the same people (as well as dozens of other pairs of celebrities.) 😬

Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) speaks at Netroots Nation conference on Saturday: "I don't want to bring a chair to an old table. This is the time to shake the table. This is the time to redefine that table. Because if you're going to come to this table, all of you who have aspirations of running for office. If you’re not prepared to come to that table and represent that voice, don’t come, because we don't need any more brown faces that don't want to be a brown voice. We don’t need black faces that don't want to be a black voice. We don't need Muslims that don’t want to be a Muslim voice. We don’t need queers that don't want to be a queer voice. If you’re worried about being marginalized and stereotyped, please don't even show up because we need you to represent that voice."
Wonder what her thought are on a white person having a white voice?
And to think Trump: We're All One!!

I think I see the racist here ,,, And it is not Trump! I'd bet at least a third of his supporters qualify to some degree. It's not surprising. He actively seeks them out. And to continue to support him after everything he has demonstrated binds all of them to his statements. Those who are not racist themselves, yet do not rebuke his racist words and actions, are condoning it. There is no longer a distinction between why one initially supported Trump, and why they do still. They have embraced the ugliness. One can still support conservative policies without supporting the worst person ever elected. All it requires...is honor.

I think she realizes that whites generally speak with a white voice. She is talking about bringing different voices to the table, recruiting people who are willing to maintain their unique voice to the campaign trail and office if elected.

So all the white posters speak in a white voice,, Especially the one's that every other word out of their mouths is calling someone racist??
Congresswoman Pressley , she is not,, If white spoke with a white voice,, She would instantly Call them Racist,, how dare that they would promote white voices.. If I had used the same speech, only put in White instead, one of the other races or personalities, This board would erupt, most of the posters calling me an out and out racist!! But she said it and you offer excuses.

Yes, whites call other whites racists with a white voice. "If (you) had used the same speech" but you didn't, you wouldn't with your voice. Your voice doesn't make those sounds.

You think she's anti-white, and you'll search to find proof of that in everything she says.
You can be pro-minorities and also be pro-white at the same time. Empowering everyone to speak in their own voices is a good thing.

"She has frequently stated that a diversity in thought and opinion leads to more innovative and enduring solutions. Without black voices or queer voices or Muslim voices or survivor voices or the like, we cannot achieve diversity in policy," added spokesperson Kalina Francis.
Pressley told the audience at the left-leaning Netroots Nation conference on Saturday that she was not interested in bringing "a chair to an old table," meaning that "diversity at the table doesn’t matter if there’s not real diversity in policy," according to a spokeswoman.

Just like you should have added 'National' in your thread titled, 'News Media Headlines??' but you didn't. There were plenty of South Carolina internet news sources reporting arrests in their article titles.
