The thing is when you get rid of all them brown folk, what will the whites do then. Who’s gonna pick the lettuce, run the convenience stores, clean the hotel rooms etc, etc, etc. Surely no Trump supporter would.
Bruce, you said:-“If you have 6 lbs of potatoes in the fridge and the wife comes in a tells you they are all good except of one which has been injected with a rare poison would you then toss the whole bag, inspect them closely with a poison detecting protocol or just eat them without concern that the next one might kill you or someone in your family?”-A simple answer: It is a mistake to store potatoes in a refrigerator. Nobody does that. Except you. So, the answer to the question you posed is:-Toss the whole bag. The potatoes are going bad. And, don’t do it again. And, by the way, your “poison detecting protocol” will cost you a lot more than that now bad 6 pounds of potatoes did.-Also, tell “the wife” to ignore your food storage directives from now on.
OK then: If a few of the Trump supporters are racist/former KKK leaders – AND they are in a bowl with all of the Trump supporters – THEN all Trump supporters are racists? That would be Jr’s logic…..
Bruce, you owe @dtroutma an apology, at the very least.Read the link darsan posted. The analogy STARTED as a racist meme promoted by the Nazis. In the US, it became M&Ms, and was promoted by white supremacists, AKA Nazis. It has changed to Skittles because it was a pointed reference to Trayvon Martin, who had bought Skittles just before being gunned down.Donald Trump, Jr., who posted this meme, also reposts tweets by the infamous Vox Day (Theodore Beale), a well known white supremecist who tried to sabotage the Hugo Awards and refers to people of color as uncivilized animals.If there’s a bigot in this room, it ain’t trout.
I don’t think the Skittles comment was racist. Ignorant, stupid, silly and inaccurate—but not racist. Why stupid, silly and inaccurate? Easy, the scale is way off. Put a couple hundred home grown bad American Skittles among 320 million of them. Then put maybe 50 foreign born bad Skittles among the 320 million. Then, since the Skittles are supposed to be a metaphor for individuals, make sure each of the 320 million people has a single Skittle in their pocket.
Now what are the odds that among the 320 million people spread out over a big country, you are going to be physically close to one of the bad Skittles? I mean honestly now. Our law enforcement agencies are doing a pretty good job right now, and some of this blowback will inevitablely flow from our foreign policies. But let’s not overreact with fearful, Trumpian nonsense. Get a grip!!
Skittles has been skittish since Trayvon Martin. They’d just as soon not be involved.twclix is dead-on about the misleading nature of the comparison, because the numbers are wildly different. What’s sad is the innumeracy of many Americans, over one zillion of whom simply don’t understand big numbers. This is shown in their overestimating some threats and underestimating others, contrary to reason, as well as a failure to comprehend the timescale of geological events and evolution. Funny how it’s the same people.Okay, it’s actually not over one zillion. It’s under one zillion.
