I don't have to tell you who he was talking about. You have to tell us who he was talking about since you say it's not the ones we say it is.

Yawn...

No. I don't have to tell you who he was talking about. I just have to point out when you come up with a name that doesn't match what he said.

Try not to make **** up and I won't tell you that you are wrong.

Try not to make **** up and I was tell you that you are wrong.

So in other words, you're lying, and now you're running from your lie.

Just another day in Trump Fan Nation.

I haven't lied about anything. I haven't made any **** up. (can't say the same about you, though)

You lied when you said he wasn't talking about the Congresswomen we said he was talking about. When pressed, you dodged, weaved, and ran away. You lied to cover Trump. And you failed.
 
Regardless of voting patterns, why are Kentucky's whites poor? The left would have me believe it's because they didn't step on enough blacks to get rich.
No, the conservative narrative of what liberals believe is what you wrote, which is different than reality. There are view black residents of Kentucky and fewer in another poor state, West Virginia. The actual liberal view is that there is few opportunity in those states. In the 1920s, there was a large coal mining population. Today, most coal mining is automated and displacement most of those workers. The population is less educated and therefore doesn't attract other industry. It's not that these people aren't able to pull themselves up from their boot-straps -- they just have to have boots. The government provides those boots, in terms of income supplements, nutritional programs and education.
 
Trump didn't give any names.

What? You want me to guess? Nah...I'll leave that up to you.
Trump's tweet said: 'Progressive' Democratic Congresswomen" should "go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came." Who do you think he was talking about, Santa Claus?

So whites aren't successful in Kentucky because of a lack of opportunity, a lack of coal. What does the left say about successful whites? I think they say that blacks were stepped on (institutional racism), which benefits whites. If this is true, then logically when a white fails it's because he didn't step on enough blacks.

Does white success have anything to do with blacks? What is the left's position on this?

Some of the women you say he was talking about do not match what he said in his tweet. That's the truth and I've never wavered from the truth.

I'm not making **** up, either...like you do.

Look. I know you are just going to start repeating yourself. That's a waste of my time.

You are dismissed. (unless you can come up with something new and if it is entertaining enough to generate a comment from me)

Who do YOU think he was talking about? AOC?

Listen. You can make up your own pointed narrative to prove what you have chosen to believe. The reality is that if we want to help Americans economically, we have shown over the decades that programs to help them have worked. The Republican narrative that the poor are worse off with government help is self-serving, bigoted and cruel. The cadre of conservative billionaires don't want to pay higher taxes that will be used to help "those people." Thus, they invent a myth that the best way to help the poor is to NOT provide them any help at all. This way, according to them, their misery will give the poor the incentive to become educated and industrious, which has never worked in all of human history.

Their objective is to keep taxes on the rich low and keep government out of their hair. But these people's numbers are small, so they need to fund propaganda groups like the Heritage Foundation to create false data and spread the message to middle-class conservatives, who can be conned into swallowing their lies. Thus the pro-life conservative-leaning worker who listens to Rush Limbaugh will repeatedly vote for the party that is less likely to protect his safety, less likely to protect his job, and less likely to benefit him economically.

Trump is no populist, his polices are pure Republican.

I have no problem with programs to help people. What I do have a problem with is the concept that one race's success comes at the expense of another. The correct answer to "Does white success have anything to do with blacks?" is 'absolutely nothing'.

To the extent that a political party believes there is a push/pull relationship between black and white success is the extent to which I am against that party.

Nobody on the Democratic side is saying that. It's on the Republican side that I hear and read that the objection to government programs is that the money goes to minorities.

Ok but when you have a race-based Squad, it seems like they may be saying that my success is based on their race's failure, or that somehow my race is involved with their success or failure.

I have nothing to do with whether a black guy gets shot in Baltimore, or an Indian at Pine Ridge takes another drink. White people can't fix that.

Except it isn't race based. Their proposals are all economic.

Who is telling your they are all about race? That seems to be the problem -- you are on the receiving end of propaganda.

AOC said it perfectly the other day, 'Trump can't explain why he wants to take away American's health insurance, so he makes attacks on us personal.'

Was it propaganda when AOC told Pelosi she was racist because Pelosi wants them off Twitter? Is it propaganda that there isn't a white woman on the squad? Does the squad represent "American's health insurance", or just "woman of color's health insurance"?

I never heard or read that, so I Googled it. The only thing I came up with was the below from a New Yorker article:
Ocasio-Cortez is a deliberate speaker, and she did not call Pelosi a racist, but her invocation of race was enough to cause a flurry of defensive rhetoric. Trump seized on the moment of infighting to weaponize Ocasio-Cortez’s remarks: “Whenever confronted, they call their adversaries, including Nancy Pelosi, ‘RACIST,’ ” he tweeted on Sunday.
So, what you were repeating was Trump's Tweet, not something established in facts. It's a good idea not to accept what Trump says without other corroboration, as he is more than not factually correct.

CNN article about AOC's wording:

AOC calls Pelosi's 'singling out' of Democratic women of color 'disrespectful' - CNNPolitics

"But the persistent singling out ... it got to a point where it was just outright disrespectful ... the explicit singling out of newly elected women of color," Ocasio-Cortez added."

If I can be convinced that "singling out women of color" (on a persistent basis) is not a racist thing to do, then I won't accept Trump's premise that AOC has accused Pelosi of racism.

From your own link:
Asked if she thinks Pelosi has racial animus or is racist, Ocasio-Cortez said unequivocally, "No, no, absolutely not, absolutely not."
That completely answers your question in post #192, namely, "Was it propaganda when AOC told Pelosi she was racist because Pelosi wants them off Twitter?" Yes, it was propaganda because AOC specifically said it was not racial animus. So, stop believing Trump, who asserted otherwise. He's a liar. Stop believing and being used by liars.

I'm sure AOC would come to my defense as 'not racist' if I "singled out" on a "persistent basis" a minority group to the point of being disrespectful.

Can you provide some examples that would go in each category?

1. Persistent singling out of a minority group to the point of disrespect (no racism)

2. Racism
 
Yeah, the media is so unfair reporting verbatim what Trump typed into Twitter.

Unfair?!! Media has the right to show everything. How can it be unfair, I don't understand:shock:
 
Well, Even Words get more searches when they came out from Donald Trump. Racism has become the most searched word on the internet after trumps controversial comments on four congress women.
Strictly, Nothing Personal
 
President Donald Trump in his tweets has criticized the Democratic congresswomen by using racist language and asked them to go back to their broken and crime-infested countries. A President can talk like that. What do you feel about his comments?

He did nothing of the kind. Three of them were born in the USA, but all four come from districts that have serious problems. In the full context of his remarks, he told them to go back where they came from and fix the problems there before they trash this country and the people in it. And I agree with that 100%.
