Trump posts racist video of Obamas

[Anonymous]

Way too little way too late, but FWIW this is the bottom for this three time Trump voter.

Don’t forget about this from 2020:

He’s been offending Black people since the Nixon administration.

Tim Scott is the only GOP politician so far to object to the video.

And Mike Lawlor.

“Rep. Mike Lawler (R., N.Y.) called the president’s post “wrong and incredibly offensive—whether intentional or a mistake—and should be deleted immediately with an apology offered.”

Everyone sharing it is doing exactly what was intended. They added the split second image right at the end of a "serious news" style full minute long video stoking Dominion voting fraud conspiracy allegations about the 2020 election. They deliberately injected the image knowing it would generate outrage to get the intended response of people watching the video.

He already admonished Trump’s “white power” retweet back in 2020 and Scott still stayed on board with Trump after all was said and done.

No one is actually watching his dumb video. We all see the image at the end and that’s all anybody actually cares about.

This one is not laughing.

I'm laughing. There are far worse things like murders. This joke isn't worth an ounce of outrage.

I am not because I have Black friends, coworkers, family members who are angry about this and I actually care about them. It is clear you don't.

As a Black person, this does not anger me. It's par for the course, and not even actually funny. Anyone who finds it funny exposes themselves as not only racist, but having the sense of humor and intelligence of a 12 year old boy.

You want to get up in arms about racism? Let's talk about the prison industrial complex, over policing, wealth disparity, education disparities, the generational damages done by slavery and Jim Crow. I do not care about monkey jokes.

It angers me as a Black person. Addressing this vile post doesn’t have exclude my anger over his other racist policies.

I don’t care that people like this moron are sorry. In a perfect world this lady realizes she is too stupid to vote and never does so again. But this world is not perfect.

I’m not surprised, but it looks like it’s getting harder to hide the dementia.

When mean people start to lose their mental faculties, they don’t suddenly become nice. They get meaner. Don’t expect your mean parent to have deathbed reconciliation and don’t expect Trump to be less overtly racist.

Don’t you think that monkey jokes coming from POTUS feed into legitimizing all those other things?

No I dont think this has anything to do with legitimizing racism. This is merely exposing it. And it frustrates me that this is the only kind of racism that white people get up in arms about, but you all quietly take issue with DEI programs and say crap like reverse racism. Monkey jokes harm my family a lot less than bias in hiring and employment, or the assumption of guilt when encountering law enforcement, but I get a lot less support when I point out the latter issues. I've heard monkey jokes my entire life, and I just find it lame.

I'm pretty sure that the same white people who take issue with DEI and say crap like reverse racism are ones who are laughing at the video, but don't let that stop you from blurring the lines, Anonymous Poster.

I'm White, I think the video, and any of the dehumanizing racist imagery, is horrifying. I also think that DEI as a policy is not effective because it doesn't fix the issue it purports to address. And I also believe that racism can be directed toward Whites. It's the actions that are racist. It doesn't matter the group.

+1

Our POTUS being awful and careless enough to post this on social media is disgraceful. Completely disgraceful.

With regard to DEI; as a policy, it can be effective in some circumstances if applied appropriately. I also strongly believe DEI doesn't address the root of the equal opportunity problem. There are much more prudent and effective ways to level the playing field for all (focusing on resources and programs that give disadvantaged children as close to an equal opportunity from birth as we possibly can).

Surely this provides some of them the excuse they need to distance themselves from Trump. They know he's in trouble, they know their party is in trouble, they know many of their seats are in jeopardy--will any of them try to course correct?

Girl. There is no turning point. This is who they are.

“We the People” have the power. Not “them.”

I’m responding to the point that Republicans are going to turn on trump. No they will not. His voters won’t either.

And yet he is losing support.
"they" are becoming "us"
That is how you win in democracies.

I don’t want to be Debbie Downer but here goes:

Pp points out jokes aren’t the problem. The prison industrial complex, over policing, wealth disparity, education disparities, the generational damages done by slavery and Jim Crow- that’s the problem.

If you are ok with the damage racism has done to society and draw your line at a video, that’s not great. The fact that 30% of people voted for this guy is a continuing disaster. Quite frankly I don’t care if they see the light, they’ve already done tremendous damage and will continue to do so by virtue of being too stupid to live in an advanced country and dragging us down.

I see the video posts as text balloons to determine if he’ll get away with more. If he hears silence from the masses and media helps to protect him by downplaying coverage, and of course Congress does the ostrich, it will get worse. He laughs, says the plebes don’t care, and will push the envelope further.

He’ll be doing that anyway. He and his father built their family fortune — with the help of taxpayer supported federal programs — by openly refusing to rent properties to Black Americans. This was true at least through the ‘80s. Trump poisoned public opinion against 5 Black and Brown teens by getting full page ads in NYC papers calling for their execution. While the teens were eventually exonerated, their lives will be forever scarred by their experiences in prison — and with American “justice”. Trump and Miller are openly racist and have openly racist goals. A good chunk of the Republicans in Congress AND their constituents are just fine with this.

That said, what would you like the masses to do that is likely to have an impact?
I’d love it if those who he views as his peeps would rise up and push for values that include overcoming racism. If you have some realistic suggestions for achieving that, I’m all in.

this isn't carelessness...are we talking about grocery prices? Epstein? ICE? No? Then it worked.

DP here and I agree with that 100%. This is the nuance that can bridge the gap between racial understanding.
