If Trump was a racist why would ha have so much backing from black folks? Think about it. If he was a racist against blacks he wouldn't have such a strong support amongst many blacks outside of hollywood and the sports world. If your examples really held water there would be zero support from blacks because shit gets around fast. No orders were discriminating against anyone. If your white and try to come from one of those countries you did get in. If you're an illegal from England here in this country and commit a crime you get deported. Do be such a simpleton.

88% of black votes went to Hillary so it's funny when you throw words around like "strong support amongst many blacks" for Trump. But you bring up a valid point, why would any black vote go to a bigoted racist sexual predator like Trump? I don't know.... maybe they are registered Cons and blindly support anyone with an "R" next to their name. Maybe they hate and blame Muslims and Hispanics like Trump does. It makes about as much sense as Jews who supported Hitler. I'm sure they had second thoughts and even regrets when they were being marched in to the gas chambers.
Black culture is unique in its herd mentality. Think about it 88% of a said race in America voted for a political party. Does this mean Romney was a racist too, Bob Dole... etc? etc? Point to another poll thats national where 90% of an American population is 90%+ one way on something. Hell even latinos voted for Trump at a much higher clip (double that of?) than Romney. I supposed they were voting for him because he was a racist too? Truth of the matter is black people vote D like its religion and Trump had a lot of support considering that. There is an inner city black culture that looks down upon success via mainstream routes. Looks down upon working with the police after a crime. Looks down upon a man and women staying together to raise a family while looking the other way of abortion. Thats a group of people never going to vote for conservative principals. Its less about racism and more about self-destruction. Research all the black people who supported him before he decided to run and after.
Sexual predator? You know he signed into a order on Feb 9th an order that would step up its fight on human trafficking? PEDOGate is real fella, and at the heart of it lies some serious players on your side of the aisle. You putting trump into this category is fucking insane and totally irresponsible, but your insinuation of Hitler shows your ignorance, the lack of civility you have and reveals your a partisan bitter hack. Go tell a Jew about your compassion and see the average response. Particularly an older Jew who lived through or new someone that was killed by Hitler about your thought so they can knock you the fuck out.
I'm sure you'll ignore this like every other facts I've laid out for you but hopefully it'll open some eyes of the blind faithful.
President Trump's Muslim ban excludes countries linked to his sprawling business empire
President Trump’s most recent executive order effectively bans citizens of seven Muslim-majority countries from entering the U.S. for at least 90 days — but some Muslim countries were spared from the order's blacklist, even though they have deep-seated ties to terrorism.
Conspicuously, Trump doesn't hold any business interests in any of the countries on the list, but holds major stakes in several of those excluded from it, records show.
Friday’s executive order, signed at the Pentagon, suspends the issuing of U.S. visas or travel permits to people from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen.
Not a single American was killed on U.S. soil by citizens from any of those countries between 1975 and 2015, according to statistics tallied by the conservative-leaning Cato Institute.

However, the same set of statistics show that nearly 3,000 Americans were killed by citizens from Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Egypt in the same time period — with the bulk of those killed being victims of the 9/11 attacks. Yet, people from those three countries are still welcome to apply for U.S. visas and travel permits.
In a striking parallel, Trump’s sprawling business empire — which he has refused to rescind ownership of — holds multi-million dollar licensing and development deals in all of those countries, raising potential conflict of interest concerns and alarming questions over what actually went into the decision process behind Friday’s executive order.
SAUDI ARABIA
Not much is known about Trump’s connection to the Saudis. Yet, the little bit of information that is available raises a number of questions.

Trump registered eight companies tied to hotel interests in the country shortly after launching his campaign in August 2015, according to The Washington Post. The companies were registered under such names as THC Jeddah Hotel and DT Jeddah Technical Services; company names The Post reported bore striking resemblance to ones Trump has registered in other foreign countries.
During a campaign rally in Alabama last year, Trump expressed his admiration for the Saudis.
“They buy apartment from me,” he said. “They spend $40 million, $50 million. Am I supposed to dislike them? I like them very much.”

Those comments could cock a few eyebrows, since most of the 9/11 attackers were from Saudi Arabia.
Further, a declassified U.S. intelligence report known as the “28 pages” claims the Saudi government and its wealthy citizens actively funded Muslim radicalism through mosques and charities in the U.S. around the time of 9/11 attacks. The 19 hijackers were in close contact with Saudi nationals before carrying out the terror attack, which became the worst one in U.S. history.
In total, Saudi citizens killed 2,369 Americans between 1975 and 2015, according to CATO.

EGYPT
In Egypt, Trump’s business holdings are characteristically vague. His latest Federal Election Commission filing lists two companies in the country, Trump Marks Egypt and Trump Marks Egypt LLC, both of which are most likely connected to a development venture.
The State Department, meanwhile, strongly discourages Americans from traveling to Egypt since “terrorist attacks can occur anywhere” due to the presence of ISIS-affiliated groups.
Egyptian citizens killed a total of 162 Americans between 1975 and 2015.

UNITED ARAB EMIRATES
The Trump Organization has a licensing and management deal in Dubai for two golf courses and a whole neighborhood of luxury villas currently under construction. The second golf course was designed by Tiger Woods.
Trump has traveled frequently to the Middle Eastern nation with his daughter, Ivanka, and the two have been seen in numerous photographs over the years, playing golf and shaking hands with affluent sheiks.
While the UAE ranks as the sixth richest country in the world, a widespread presence of ISIS- and Al Qaeda- affiliated groups persists in the area and poses a serious threat to American citizens, according to the State Department.

“Both historical and current information suggest that the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), al-Qaida, and affiliated organizations continue to plan attacks against Western targets,” states a safety notice on the department’s website, using alternate spellings for the groups.
A total of 314 Americans were killed by UAE citizens between 1975 and 2015, according to CATO.
TURKEY
Trump also currently licenses his name to two luxury towers in the Turkish metropolis of Istanbul.

He received as much as $5 million from the deals last year, according to his latest financial disclosures. Furthermore, since the election, Trump’s development partner, Dogan Sirketler Grubu Holding, has seen its shares surge by nearly 11%.
Meanwhile, Turkey is a hotbed for terrorist activities, with the State Department issuing a travel alert advising U.S. citizens not to travel to the country because of “increased threats from terrorist groups” just this Wednesday.
“An increase in anti-American rhetoric has the potential to inspire independent actors to carry out acts of violence against U.S. citizens,” the alert states.

In addition to Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Egypt and the United Arab Emirates, President Trump holds extensive business interests in the Muslim majority nations of Indonesia and Azerbaijan. Both have documented ties to Islamic terrorism — yet neither is included on the executive order's blacklist.
White House press aides did not immediately return a request for comment from The News.
Immediately after the Pentagon signing ceremony on Friday, Trump was harshly rebuked by people of varying political persuasions from across the world.

Smack that Lib mango around Ace.....Whip his ass.
Let me break this down for you, to your level (if possible):
1. I was not comparing 700 murders to 1 murder. Your reading comprehension is poor.
2. I was comparing the reaction at this message board to shootings under one president to a shooting under a different president.
And, let me add:
3. Your act is old. You just show up to argue with anyone and any point you can find. It's predictable.
Also:
4. "U.S.C." does not stand for United States Consitution. Did you figure that out yet?
that's just plain stupid, not a rational thought to be found
when you have a democratically controlled city in a democratically controlled state that just happens to be where the democratic president was a "COMMUNITY ORGANIZER", and that city has an incredibly high crime rate for YEAR AFTER YEAR and all the democrats in the world do NOTHING about it, that's an issue
blaming Trump for this idiots deeds is like blaming Obama for every isolated murder committed by every African American all over this country. Of course, nobody has done that, and there have been thousands of opportunities to do that
If you don't know Obama was weak on crime, that he actually undermined the efforts of law enforcement agencies throughout this country by saying they all are racists, then you're just not paying attention
keep hating, keep wishing for the glory days, when jobs left the country and police were disrespected and the welfare rolls were put on steroids, rock on baby
What you did was compare the reaction of people to murders in a city that experiences more than 700 murders per year over a prolonged period of time now to a one time murder in a bar.
That's dumb.
The reaction we all experience to an epidemic problem in a city is much different to a one-time crime. Easy for all of us to see.
