You’re right, there is no need to wonder why Trump got elected because the numbers make it perfectly clear. Trump won white voters by a margin almost identical to that of Mitt Romney. White non-Hispanic voters preferred Trump over Clinton by 21 percentage points (58% to 37%), according to the exit poll conducted by Edison Research for the National Election Pool. Romney won whites by 20 percentage points in 2012 (59% to 39%).
Hillary Clinton held an 80-point advantage among blacks (88% to 8%) compared with Obama’s 87-point edge four years ago (93% to 6%). In 2008, Obama had a 91-point advantage among blacks.
I’ll let you decide if Clinton got fewer black votes because she’s white, a woman, or because black people just didn’t fee like voting against a divisive, sexist, racist blowhard.
No, you are playing this boo hoo white people have it so hard in america today card when we dont. You sound like the kids on reddit on the_donald who just whine about how difficult it is being a white male in america today. No, its fine.
At no point in my statement did I say anything about free speech, I just said why people dislike the confederacy. You are not allowed to fly battle flag & claim you love america at the same time. Those people directly attacked america. Kneeling not represent any group that has declared war and killed hundreds of thousands. Completely different. That said if you want to fly a confederate flag go ahead, ill just think you are ignorant and have a poor understanding of history and bought revisionist history the south tried to spin after they lost. You just cant fly that flag and claim anyone else is unamerican. But you are 100% free to fly it. You dont get to have your cake and eat it too. These players are feeling the blowback from their decision to kneel, they are taking plenty of heat from people all over. That is the consiquence of their decision. I do like what the Cowboys did, took the knee before the anthem then stood for it. I personally would stand if I were an athlete but I would have no problem linking arms with a kneeler or kneeling before the anthem in unity.
Clinton lost by 80,000 votes in 3 states, the margins between previous elections were fairly similar and clinton won the popular vote by a fairly wide amount (forgot, thats fake news cuz dem illegulz voted in the millionz!!!) but trumps team & possibly russia did a good job targeting the 3 states that mattered
For the record - I don’t fly the stars and bars. I don’t hate it. I just don’t care enough to fly one.
And I’m not boo-hooing about the plight of the white man. Chris Rock said it best when he asked if any white people wanted to trade places with him and become black. “No white man will trade places with me–and I’m a fking millionaire!”
But, in general, “hating whitey” is currently en vogue in the US. And if you support whitey, you are called a racist. And you don’t have to don a white hood to be a racist–haters can just expand the definition.
Don’t support affirmative action? You’re a racist. Write a manifesto about how men and women differ? You’re a misogynist (and by extension, a racist.) Don’t believe in global warming? You’re a right-wing nut (and by extension, a racist.)
And you’re showing your ignorance in saying that all southerners have bought into revisionist history and are ignorant. I’m well aware that there was a war, and my state (Texas) was on the losing side. You’re confusing your own point of view with the facts. As a wise man once said, “Many of the truths we cling to depend greatly on our own point of view.”
I dont see any original or unique viewpoint here sorry. Just the same regurgitated rubbish white people talk about, more importantly the time for conversation is over especially with pink people who cant see beyond their arse.
They compaining about stupid shit like dissing on some rubbish anthem? Roflamo, time to escalate
Apologies if I implied you flew the flag, never meant to was speaking more in generalities. I think the difference is clearly what I call helping minorities many people think of as hating white people which I find interesting. There is no way anyone can claim minorities have had a fair shake looking at the history of the US, I support attempting to give them some help to achieve the american dream. Could doing that temporarity disadvantage some white people? Sure, but based on what how ancestors treated minorities its a small price to pay.
I also never said all southerners bought into revisionist history, I said people flying the stars & bars that claim the 'heritige not hate" arguement are either willfully ignorant or just racist. Like a german flying the nazi flag.
The only part of your post where you make any bit of a valid arguement is here
I do feel many on the left use too strong of terms for people, but i think its about equal to everyone left of DJT being called a libtard, cuck, commie etc.
leftists need to separate the trump from the race issue, especially as it pertains to normal whites. this is not a trump the racist issue and anyone who agree with white equality is a trump supporter and a racist. this is a crazy nut who wants inequality stacked against whites versus normal people issue. there are normal people on the left and right. it seems like all the crazy nuts when it comes to this issue are the leftists.
i’m an extreme leftist by US standards. but i acknowledge the sentiment that many trump supporters feel toward the alienation of white male rights. do white males generally have it better financially and in terms of our ‘opportunity ladder’? yes. should we as a population go against the constitution or various human rights codes to disadvantage the white male to bring about equality? hell no. doing so goes against the ideology you are trying to fight for and makes your entire movement hypocritical. just be like normal european societies and redistribute whitey’s high income and assets over time. that’s as fair as you can get and you keep your righteousness.
Kneeling during the national anthem is just the most recent example of the left’s virtue signaling obsession.
Heres how it works…
(1) Identify an injustice you see in the world (or just invent one). (2) Blame it on people who don’t share your world view. (3) Label everyone who does not agree with you as a racist. (4) Make it a competition among people on your side to see who can complain the loudest to accumulate the most social justice points. (5) Do jack sh i t to address the actual problem.
And this is any different then what the right does? They just came up with a cute word “virtue signalling” they love to throw around.
(1) Identify an injustice change you see in the world (since the good ole days of the 1950’s). (2) Blame it on people who don’t share your world view (and minorities, since they were less uppity back in the good ole days, bonus points if you can double blame millenials!) (3) Label everyone who does not agree with an SJW libtard. (4) Dogwhistle publicly & whipe your base up into angry militias (supply your own Khakis & tiki torches, available at wal mart) (5) Do jack sh i t to address the actual problem.
