+1 Thank you, OP. |
Nice job “cherry-picking” a few incidents to seek a pattern that doesn’t exist.
Tom Brady did not attend the White House reception following the Super Bowl win because his mother was ill. He made a statement about why he wasn’t going. "I am so happy and excited that our team is being honored at the White House today. Our team has accomplished something very special that we are all proud of and will be for years to come. Thank you to the President for hosting this honorary celebration and for supporting our team for as long as I can remember. In light of some recent developments, I am unable to attend today’s ceremony, as I am attending to some personal family matters. Hopefully, if we accomplish the goal of winning a championship in the future years, we will [be] back on the South Lawn again soon. Have a great day!” Contrast that with Curry’s statement: "I don't wanna go. That's the nucleus of my belief. It's not just me going to the White House. If it was, this would be a pretty short conversation. But it's the organization, it's the team. It's hard to say, because I don't know exactly what we're gonna do. If we do go, if we don't, whatever. My beliefs stay the same. So I'll have a better answer to that once I can understand where the group is too.” Miss Texas gave her opinion about the Charlottesville incident: "I think that the white supremacist issue, it was very obvious that it was a terrorist attack," she said. "And I think that President Donald Trump should've made a statement earlier addressing the fact, and in making sure all Americans feel safe in this country. That is the No. 1 issue right now.” Miss Texas DID NOT call Trump a white supremacist like Jemele Hill: Donald Trump is a white supremacist who has largely surrounded himself w/ other white supremacists. Trump is the most ignorant, offensive president of my lifetime. His rise is a direct result of white supremacy. Period. No the media doesn't make it a threat. It IS a threat. He has empowered white supremacists (see: Charlottesville). He is unqualified and unfit to be president. He is not a leader. And if he were not white, he never would have been elected I could go on and on and on........ You know, OP, you can be angry at President Trump’s comments and not agree with them, but to try to make this connection is just plain cheap. You have conveniently left out actual WHITE people he has criticized like Meryl Streep, Glenn Beck, and Rosie O’Donnell, Nice try attempting to make this connection (much like the left wing media is doing), but it doesn’t fly. |
Wow, a lot of work to unsuccessfully apologize for Trump. Worthy effort. You get a well earned participation trophy, but OP is the big winner. The base doesn't need an explanation. They hear the dog whistle and they LOVE it. |
Omarosa needs to be fired, I think.
She's not helping that minority outreach much |
If Trump saw your name, OP, he would likely tweet about it. |
Same with Sandra Chuckleberry Sanders demanding a private company fire an AA employee for making a political statement. |

Why are liberals so intent on starting a race war? Why do they cry, “Racism!” where it doesn’t exist? Why are they so intent on making a connection to “race” when there is no connection there?
Is EVERYTHING about identity politics with some of you? |
All of this is coming from one place: Donald J. Trump. |
We know you don’t like him. We know you are still mourning over your loss. We know you are all about #resist. Your ludicrous connections are just that - ludicrous. |
I'll start:
Tom Brady did not make a public statement attacking the president. Those CEOs? Most people have never heard of them. Big difference. Jamele Hill? Called him a White Supremacist. It was a huge uproar on the internet--BEFORE anything was said at the White House. AND, Sarah Sanders was specifically ASKED about it. |
Miss Texas? Who cares. I didn't see anything about that on internet until you posted it. |
Guess that might say more about your particular news bubble than anything else. If you Google "miss Texas criticizes trump" you'll find that it was covered by Time, Vox, lots of local news stations, news from the U.K., Australia, it was discussed on Reddit (but maybe not your particular sub-Reddit) and a bunch of other places. |
Wow, head in the sand much? |
You should submit this to BuzzFeed or HuffPost as a community post - it's very well done |
