    Though I guess meadows "both sides" position (supporting his friend Congressman Cummings, who defended meadows when he was accused of being a racist), you have cowardly republicans that are ducking this altogether...

    The GOP needs to clean up their filthy rural poverty.

    Chicago, Detroit, Baltimore, New Orleans, what do they all have in common??

    -They all have really beautiful parts in their historically unique and wholly American communities. They all have hard working American families.


    It’s a President’s job to unite and represent all communities. He has failed miserably.

    I know right. Go out to East Texas and meet some of my white trash kinfolk.

    There's a rural sense of entitlement that just doesn't make sense.

    I don’t think you realize how hurtful your comments are.

    I honestly don't think we need to keep talking about Trump's racist and divisive tweets, words, and actions. Everyone with an open mind knows that he says racist things and reacts in racist ways. Everyone with an open mind knows that he is divisive and for many of his supporters, that's what they like about him.

    Most people without an open mind probably know it too, but they don't want to admit it or can't rationalize the fact that they know it but still support him.

    If the first 78 incidents didn't cause them to admit it, the 79th incident won't change it either. So why keep pouring energy into it.

    I still believe we need to battle against racism, but racism should be about the injustices of racism and not about Donald Trump.

    Trumps about to execute a white supremacist, while trying to free a black rapper from jail, as he pushes prison reform that directly benefits families of black men, while calling out a city where minorities are victims of crime & blight. if Trumps a racist, he sucks at it.

    He’s an equal opportunity critic. He claps back at people who take off after him. No matter their race, no matter if they are a man or woman. And no matter the party. It doesn’t matter.

    You'd think so..... but like I said, "entitlement".

    Like how are you entitled to not adapt or change? I truly don't understand white rural poverty, proud of being poor but hate being actually poor.

    He definitely uses terms regarding "infestation", "unAmerican" along with tropes such as "go back to the country you came from" to non white people who disagree with him relative to white people who disagree with him.

    You realize how silly you sound? Infestation was a reference to the rats and your mind controllers are telling you it’s a subliminal message in reference to blacks and you follow lock step.

    We have the analytics. He only uses the term to "criticize" minority communities.

    Don't play coy. You know Trump reserves language such as "anti-American" or "breeding ground" for non-white citizens and ethnically non white majority communities.

    To be fair, there is one incident of Trump referring to a majority-white place as “crime-infested.” In January 2017, Trump called New Hampshire “a drug-infested den.”
    Thanks for clarifying he’s an equal opportunity critic.
