...is to deny you’re a racist. You are then set up if you are Caucasian to tell American citizens of color to go back to the countries they came from. The fact that the citizens you insult came from the same country you do does not spoil your racist message at all. Your racist supporters understand perfectly.

But imagine how telling someone to go back to the country they came from would go over if the statement was from a black American to a white American. See, it only works one way. That’s because it is a white racist trope.
 
It's funny no one told Trump to go back where he came from when he denounced the USA, American carnage, the mess and on and on.

Copying this from another thread.

To younger people of color that have not been told yet to go back where you came from and may not understand the implications of this kind of talk you will probably here it now.*
Please have a response ready.*
Mine over the years has been to smile, calmly but firmly say sure as soon as you do the same.
The turning red and the look on their faces is priceless.

There's no such thing as a black racist because, for example, they can't do that (as you describe). Only the majority power has the capability to oppress a race as a whole.

Equating racism and racial bigotry serves racists.

Yup, that an deny there is racism, or falsely claim the other side are really the racist or are more racist, or throw out deflections like "oh, you played the race card". Things we see over and over again from right wingers
 
I find it hilariously stupid that Trump and his supporters only call criticism of political policies "hating America" when it's someone else doing it. Literally for 8 straight years during Obama conservatvies whined, complained, cried and told us how America is doing everything wrong, yet we're supposed to believe that doesn't make them America haters who should find a new country. It's never consistent with these people.

Telling other natural born Americans to go back "to their original countries" based on their heritage is blatant, objective racism.

These women were engaging in propaganda which equated US border policy with WWII German concentration camps and Nazis. If they are not only allowed to engage in such absurd hyperbole but LAUDED for it then, in all fairness, Trump should also get a pass for his hyperbole.
 
The first rule of racism is to find something racist in every thing and every person you disagree with. Bear in mind that the only logical reason for anyone to see the world differently than you do is because they are racist.

I hate to break it to you, but there are concentration camps along the border. No, they're not Nazi death camps. A concentration camp is a holding center for all persons of a particular ethnic group. That is exactly what these camps are. This is not hyperbole.

Yup, just another example of how full of **** they are and proving they have no credibility. The entire Trump campaign of "Make America Great Again" was all about how horrible his country was and we were a third world ****hole with threats around every corner that Trump was going to fix.

Now they want us to buy that liberals who actually acknolwedge our problems, and put forth ways to address those problems, are the anti americans that should leave?

REmember when they said that during Bush presidency anytime people objected to Bush' actions, or the completely bogus Iraq war, which guess what, liberals were spot on again, it was a complete disaster. They whipped out the 'leave the country" or "you are terrorist sympathizer" nonsense, then spent 8 years on attacking Obama for completely made up and petty things.

As I've said before, the right can seriously go **** themselves
 
If the first rule of racism is to deny that you are racist, this is about the Democratic party. It's what they do whenever they accuse someone else.

Are you a racist, Nate?

Yes. I ****ing hate Neanderthals. Couldn't be happier that all those greasy bastards bought it.

(Can't trap me...sorry. But I was actually complimenting you...I agree with very little of what you have to say about most things, but sometimes, once in a while, I'm a fan of how you say them. This was funny.)

It's TOTALLY hyperbole. Saying "concentration camp" doesn't invoke Nazi death camps is nothing more than a farcical attempt to rewrite history.

Most white Americans have inbred racist tendencies they acknowledge and resist, acknowledge and don’t resist or don’t acknowledge and don’t resist. I’m in the first category. You?

So, you admit to being a racist?

I'd suggest that the idea of behavior being an inherent attribute of a given race is the epitome of racism.
