How would "killing each other" serve the black community, Socrates?
That's a very hateful statement.

I did NOT mean to say killing but NOT killing would serve that community .

HE SAID “A bunch of black people, working in concert to achieve political ends, is pretty intimidating to you, huh? “
My response was “ Their work is needed in their black neighborhoods to stop the killing ,try working in concert to achieve that goal ONCE ! “
HIS next comment was “You know nothing about me, so you can keep that BS nonsense to yourself.

What gives you the idea you know how black communities can best be served?
No deflections accepted.” And “C'mon... you wanted to open your mouth and share your advice for black people before...
Why are you so quiet now that I've put you on the spot?
Why don't you tell me what your "black friends" say.

Then you better get ready to go all in because the last man who gave such a national pride, national unity, global isolationist speech that catered to the frustrations of the middle-class and condemned the broken promises and cronyism of its nation's government and political system was the man in the video below. But before you let cynicism take hold, I urge you to listen to (or read) Trump's inaugural address again and then watch the below video in full and see if you can spot the similarities. Believe me, there are many! So much so, you were right to cringe.

Don't you people ever feel any shame at all when you post nonsense like this?

Let me put it to you like this...

Of the 100 members currently serving in the United States Senate:

- 21 are women, but only 4 are minorities (1 Black, 2 Asian, 1 Hispanic)
- The total number of minority Senators = 8 of which 4 are Black men

So, yes, IMO the U.S. Senate is the equivalent of a white man's caucus because nearly 80% of its membership is comprised of white men.

No, not at all. And when you look back throughout Donald J. Trump's family tree, it's easy to discern where he gets his nationalist ideals from. His grandfather, Frederick Trump, was born in Kallstadt, Germany after all. It's not that much of a leap to assume nationalism was something that's been ingrained in him for years. So, when you listen to Hitler's inaugural speech then listen to Trump's it's not difficult to identify the nationalist similarities in both. For example:

Hitler spoke of bringing factory jobs back to Germany.
Trump spoke of bringing factory jobs back to America.

Hitler spoke of national unity even for those who didn't initially support the National Socialist (Nazi) Party.
Trump spoke of national unity for all Americans even those who didn't vote for him.

Hitler spoke of getting German people of welfare.
Trump spoke of reducing the number of people on welfare.

Hitler spoke of the importance of fostering education, particularly among our youth.
Trump spoke of educating our youth.

Hitler spoke out against those politicians who had took the German middle-class down a path of ruination.
Trump spoke out against establishment politicians who let down the middle-class.

Hitler talked about rebuilding the middle-class.
Trump talked about rebuilding the middle-class.

Hitler talked about putting Germany first.
Trump declared America first.

If you take the time to watch Hitler's inaugural speech and then watch Trump's, you can't miss the similarities. (And that's not an alternative fact by the way; that's a real fact!)

You can twist anything to look like anything. You can take anything out of context and make it look like something it isn't. And this is simply too absurd to even discuss. By do have a nice day.

In other words, you won't dare watch and compare both videos out of fear that I am right.

Now, I didn't say that in the final analysis Trump was going to be the next Adolf Hitler. Nor did I say that what Trump or Hitler initially espoused were wrong. All I've said was if you watched Hitler's inaugural address and Trump's, you'd find similarities between them. If you're not willing to review both speeches objectively, then that's on you.

I've seen the damn videos and the very ignorant and hateful dishonesty in how they are edited and how they are compared. And that's on you.

What's dishonest about illustrating the similarities between both speeches? After all, they are words spoken from their own mouths. I didn't add the English subtitles. But if you distrust them, might I suggest you find someone who speaks German and have them translate the speech for you. In any case, there's no dishonesty here based on both individual's own words. You may not like it, but that's what they said.

Whatever the subtitles--and I have seen the videos that provide the translations--does not change the selective editing, words taken out of their full context, or the differences in the political climate and situations. The videos dishonestly try to make Trump look like Hitler. And that is reprehensible, disgusting, dishonest, and unAmerican.

I defended Obama, who I would never vote for, when that kind of thing was done to him. And I damn sure won't accept it when it is done to Trump either.

Come now, AlbqOwl. The version of the Hitler video I posted was originally published on January 1, 2016. How could anyone edit a video from over 1 year ago just to implicate Donald Trump the day he takes the oath of office one year later? They'd have to know Trump would be elected President. Moreover and for the last time, I'm not trying to implicate Trump at all. I'm merely saying both men spoke on many of the same issues.

Now, was Hitler correct when he spoke on the political, economic, industrial, educational, social and national issues that affected Germany in his day? Of course he was! I would even agree that Trump was correct when he spoke on many of the same issues in his inaugural address. Both men spoke in dark, contrasting tones but that doesn't mean Trump will be the next Adolf Hitler. However, it does mean the nation and the world has every right to be cautious.

When you withdraw from the rest of the world and enact certain trade laws that gives your country every advantage and leaves other nations wanting, you create the conditions for upheaval. Trump may be justified in what he says, but he should still be very careful about what he does. And we should care how his actions impact global affairs.
