I hope everyone remembers the term "Whataboutism" when there's a Democrat president.

K, but Moon, come on...there's valid whataboutism, then there's complete rambling nonsense that is blatantly meant to get people off uncomfortable tacks. Maybe I'm missing something in his statement. Since he doesn't want to address it, maybe you can tell me what I'm missing … ?

Actually his is a racist, he made that clear when he fomented racial strife by claiming Trayvon Martin could have been his son. As President, he should have known better than to go there.

So he would have been a racist for reopening this case.

Do you hear yourself? Just this week, we saw a 96 year old man beaten with a brick and told to go back to mexico. That's racism. Calling Obama a racist for saying his son would look like Trayvon just shows your own prejudice. White grievance in this country boils down to a pile of crap. You had to deal with a black man being president who sometimes talked about being black, and you didn't like it.

Please, you don't know what actual bigotry and hate feels like.

When "Fast and Furious" failed I did not blame Obama. Others did.

Too many people want to paint the President with every good and bad thing done during the administration....

Only that initiated by somebody he has authority over. Let me know when you find any of that which the President did not deal with appropriately.

Do you know how many times I have seen on this forum people naming Trump for things he had nothing to do with and using the claim the buck stops here in order to attack him.

Think that ship has already sailed

That didn't foment any racial strife among any rational adults. Pretending that it didn't won't change reality.

I thought under the new definition of racism that since black people do not have majority power they were incapable of being racist.

That may be true, many in both sides have some that attempt to give blame and credit where it is not due. I try not to do so, my point was just a reminder and a small suggestion.

The attack was obviously motivated by his immigration status.

I was joking :p

If it was due to immigration status, then wouldn't it be Nationalist rather than racist?
