Democrats keep telling me that everyone is racist to me. It made sense when I was a kid. Eventually I realized that this was just something Democrats said to get elected. They prey on fear and division between cultures in the US. Instead of celebrating the melting pot, they highlight our differences and say those differences are emblematic of some evil racist oppression. I grew up in a socialist country. Our family shared an apartment unit with 3 other families in DC when we first came to the United States. I've been very fortunate to have a wonderful loving family, and making enough income to be in the top 1%. I do not feel oppressed even though Democrats constantly tell me that I am.

People are so bad at big picture. "This didn't happen to me therefore it is untrue and the fact that it happens to most people means it is their fault."

The bootstraps mentality has made America a great place, it is the seed of the American dream. But it has also given cover to the elite 1% to oppress the middle and working class because everyone believes that success is in their grasp. Slowly turning the American economy into a type of casino, where the tiny percentage of winners create an illusion that winning is within everyone's grasp if they just reach for it, when really the system is rigged.

I guess congrats on winning the lottery pp.

LMAO, are you seriously sitting here faulting me for not considering the big picture in the context of Asians? Oh go on and tell me about the plight of Asians in the US. Tell me how we are under-represented in higher socioeconomic classes, institutions of higher learning, and venture capital startups.

Yea the system is rigged, it's rigged by Democrats who advocates for policies that require my kids to score hundreds of points higher on SAT to get accepted into a University. You want an example of systemic racism - look at Democratic policies.

Ahahahahaha!

When did I say the word Asians? I guess you are Asian, which you didn't specify in your post and are now using to accuse me of not understanding your post.

There are democrats that are racist, there are minorities that are racist, and there are numerous systemic racist policies and structures in our society that hurt minorities. Mostly rich people want to keep them in place. That is true regardless of whether or not Asian people are well represented in higher socioeconomic classes.

Today, I live in a more diverse community and I’m politically active for moderate statehouse candidates. I would like to ask a question in this anonymous forum and I hope it is OK and respectful to ask:

At most Trump rallies, including last night’s disturbing display at East Carolina U, there are black people in the crowd. Not many, but some. Occasionally Asians and some people who appear to be Hispanic. WaPo just published a pic of Trump at his hateful rally and there were a few black women in the background, holding his signs and looking positively gleeful. I simply do not get it. How can any minority embrace Trump?

I cannot even face my non-white friends today. Many are first-gen professionals How in the world does a black person cheer for Trump, chant slogans against minority women, and then face family and friends? I would really like to hear the perspectives of others on this. Also, I hope this question is not offensive to anyone because that’s not my intention at all.

OP, sorry to say, but you are obviously a racist person.

You are judging people by their skin color, not by their values and priorities.

Believe it or not, minority employment is the highest it's ever been, and our communities are safer now than they were before the 2016 election -- murder rates, for example, have declined around 20% since.

Murder rates have been on the decline for decades.

Can you give us the numbers on what black Americans make for every dollar a white person makes? How about comparing what percentage of AAs are CEOs, upper management, in positions of power compared to whites? What about black maternal mortality rate compared to white? How many upper level black officials are in the Trump administration? Do black students in general go to just as good of schools as white students? Not just in terms of test scores, but in terms of infrastructure. What percentage of black Americans have health insurance vs. white Americans? What is the percentage of black home ownership compared to white? (hint - it's been falling)

What EXACT policies has Trump implemented that led specifically to lower murder rates in black communities?

By the way, in case you don't have all those numbers and facts at your fingertips, here's some articles that might be of help.

Things are undeniably better than what it was under Obama. Things improve slowly. Improvement has begun. And, the statistics bear that out.

Obama Officials say Harriet Tubman $20 bill design could never have been ready for 2020

Earlier reports said Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin delayed the introduction of the $20 bill featuring Harriet Tubman, but some current and former officials tell The Washington Post it was never going to be ready for 2020.

And she is right. It never fails to astonish me how obtuse liberals are. DCUM is a perfect example. You people get together in your echo chambers and insist that anyone who feels differently must be a “racist”. Meanwhile, millions of Americans think the Democratic party has gone off the deep end - and that includes many minorities and women.

But sure, keep your heads buried in the sand. No worries, right?

Trump says and does stupid things but on the whole he is not a racist and has pushed for a solidly conservative agenda aside from decidedly non-conservative fiscal policy. I support him because of his positions and policies on the whole, and not on any one single issue. I can appreciate that there are single-issue voters out there, but that's not me.

I'm not the only Asian who support Trump, but I do acknowledge that we are in the small minority.

WELL SAID. I completely agree.

Exactly this. It’s so refreshing to see there are still people who can think for themselves.

If you're unhappy with DCUM why don't you leave

On what do you base your conclusion that she's right?
