    Agree. That is incredibly racist.

    The 4 members of "The Squad" are racist. They use race at every turn and every chance they get.

    Exactly. What do you expect from people who still think Trump colluded with the Russians to get elected?

    Common usage is common usage. It is never "wrong". It's just... "common usage".. Which means that different people use terms colloquially in different ways It's useless to discuss what is the "common usage" of a term. In small talk, people use terms different ways, and there is no problem if they can communicate. But not in a debate setting. If we're going to talk about "racism", causes, solutions, consequences, .... we need a useful concept. The colloquial use of any term is useless in a debate.

    In a colloquial conversation, one of my friends who is from Ecuador used to say that his car was racist because it worked perfectly when he drove it, but something always went wrong when any of his American friends tried to use it.

    Notice Democrats didn’t all say WTF, woman? It’s funny. Republicans have to condemn every nut they’ve ever spoken to or they’re racist, homophobic, bigoted, etc. Democrats don’t have to condemn anyone. They can literally support terrorists and the MSM doesn’t say ****.

    When you claim that there is no such thing as a race, it just clouds the issue and adds nothing to the debate. Just about everyone here recognizes race as an acceptable term. I know what it is and, I assume you know what it is. We don't belong to some academy of science which has a stricter set of definitions.

    Democrats, at least the moderate ones, just have no clue what to do with these four progressive idiots. They are just imploding and as long as Trump keeps these four in the headlines, his support base will keep expanding.

    He doesn't have to mention race. He called out 4 non white females. No one else, and told them to go back from where they came. 3 of 4 came from USA. But he is too stupid to know that.

    Seriously, do rightists see completely different words on a screen than other see? Is the sky Polka dotted in their world too?:dual:

    Of course it did. Go back to some country, that isn't where they came from since 3 of 4 born in USA and fix their terrible country.
    Well, that's what they were elected to do. In their mind. He says white nationalists have some good people, not. But congress women not white need to leave the country. That is the definition of racism.

    You have color blindness, or don't speak the truth.

    Says a person who claims to not be from America. What do you know about America other than what you read or see on computer?

    I held my arm up in front of her picture. My arm is darker in color than she is. I held my arm up in front of my face and they are about the same color.

    It's difficult to believe that a bunch of thugs chanting "Send her back!" at his rallies don't realize that they are racists!

    If they're shouting 'send her back' about the ungrateful racist and anti-semite, more power to them.

    Tell that to RW America. Oh wait, you aren't American.
    Again? Are you American? No?

    What do you know about Americans except what you read or see on computer?

    They are not. They are unhappy that an anti-semite who openly despises the nation .. after having been offered the hand of friendship via refugee citizenship, has power. It wouldn't matter if she was purple with orange spots, or pink with green stripes. It's her CHARACTER, RELIGION (no western nation should import that ilk, when there are far less dangerous and less ideological peoples who need asylum) and POLITICS which are being criticised.
