    LOL, just not the answer you wanted. Why is David Duke endorsing a Democrat in 2020 and NOT Trump?

    The OP was 100% correct and on the very 1st response.
    BTW - Israel is NOT a race. It's a country. With Jewish religious people and Arab, probably muslim people.

    But the good white nationalists tRUMP likes as supporters. Wants to rid the world of Jews, many who live in Israel.

    No, it's not an answer at all. So, try answering the actual question: Why do you think KKK members and neo-Nazis express support of Trump?

    I'll answer regarding Gabbard if you answer regarding Trump.

    Telling someone who is not white, when one is white, to go back to the countries they came from, is almost the definition of racist.

    DD is endorsing a Democrat. I dont need you to explain why. It's for the same reason he calls Ilhan Omar the "most important member in Congress" their anti Semitism is the common glue. It binds many on the left in solidarity.

    Which Independent do you claim is racist? Or is there more than 1?
    How is looking out for minorities racist?

    Just because your question went south and came home to roost, is no reason to relive your childhood. David Duke is endorsing a Democrat in 2020. He is not happy with Trump, Trump is not a Jew hating racist.
    He found one on the left, now he endorses her. Not Trump.

    I read it. It’s an opinion. Real Racism requires proof. For example... Calling someone the N word. Literally saying “you are lesser than me because you are black”. Making claims that race is the sole reason someone is of lesser intelligence. Committing violence against someone specifically due to their color. Not being able to speak or deal with others of another race. Things like that.

    Trump has never displayed actual racism. If opinion is all it takes than Obama is a total racist because he called his own grandmother a “typical white person.” That’s worse than ANYTHING Trump has ever said.

    Sorry. Yell and scream all you want. You can’t cite any real examples of Trump being actually racist. Saying certain countries are **** holes
    Isn’t racist when it’s actually a fact. Telling people to go fix their own countries and then RETURN with the knowledge they gained to fix ours is closer to Nationalism. NOT racism. REAL Racism is denying people jobs or educational opportunities because they don’t meet the correct racial criteria. REAL racism is assuming some races aren’t capable of obtaining photo ID. REAL racism is attending a church and listening to a man yell racist vile BS every Sunday and then get married by that individual. REAL racism is accusing cops of shooting people because ONLY they’re black when there is NO PROOF of it. REAL racism is using your color as a shield against all criticism. Treating people differently specifically due to their race? Guess who does that every day? Guess who writes policy based on the color of your skin?

    The worst racism is from those that hide it behind good will. Democrats have completely neutered REAL racism by calling nearly EVERYONE a racist who doesn’t think exactly as they think. When everyone is a racist, no really is anymore.

    Besides, if race doesn’t exist like you claim, no one can be racist.

    While you laid it out very well, you may as well have been talking to a fencepost, as far as the left goes.
    You can remind them of the definition or racism until you are blue in the face, it will be in vain. They appropriated the word for a political weapon, with not a single care that they are devaluing the actual thing by constantly crying wolf.

    Not true at all. Race doesn't exist as a real scientific concept, but it does exist as a social construct.

    Explain how it's racist, please. You're going to need to come up with something good to convince anyone it's about genetics, and not culture.

    What about when the 'victim' of the utterance is white?

    If any indigenous person tells a white person to "go back to where they came from" I would interpret it as a racist statement, though room can be made for irony.

    I certainly wouldn't claim that genetics has anything to do with it.

    Living up to your namesake, I see.

    No, it isn't. What percentage of Obama's DNA do you think more closely resembles a northern European than a west African, on average?

    The problem is that the Democratic party has a history of racism and are still trying to overcome their horrible past.

    What makes a Sudanese black, and a Scotsman white? Social constructs? Diet? Lighting?

    Are you aware of where you're heading with this, incidentally? Most traps reveal themselves, so it's worth asking.
