Most of us in this forum dislike Trump and for many, many reasons. We sometimes give him a green light when, in rare moments, he does something that seems logical or correct. With that said, there is an obvious trend of taking that dislike and being purposely ignorant or hypocritical about it. For example:

https://www.newsweek.com/white-farmer-killed-every-five-days-south-africa-authorities-do-nothing-851470 (from March)

https://torontosun.com/news/world/white-south-african-farmers-protest-murder-spree (from last year)

So it makes me wonder... if Trump is being a white supremacist by bringing up the murder and land theft of farmers in SA, does that mean that left leaning sites like Newsweek and the AP are also pushing white supremacy? 

This has been known for some time that this was going on. Numerous articles, reports and documentaries about it. Why is it only a white supremacy issue when Trump says it? Granted, he's being inflammatory because usually whatever he tweets about is inflammatory, that just cannot be denied. But are we picking and choosing when something or someone is being white supremacist? Is this literally TDS*?

Am I actively being a white supremacist because I don't like Trump and consider his latest tweet to be inflammatory while at the same time I never thought the news reports or documentaries to be white supremacy? Can we have it both ways?

* I hate to admit it but I own that I've had TDS upon occasion.

 

I don’t know if you read the Newsweek article u referenced but it says that activists say a farmer is killed every five days. One paragraph later it says white nationalist activists say lol so no they aren’t also pushing white supremacy, they cite the source. White nationalists.

Both articles referenced the source of the claims. A white nationalist group.

Full disclosure....I'm kind of amazed by Trump.  He makes stupid people even dumber. 

Most of us see him and think "What a retard".  Other people just go balls out retard.

I guess I misunderstood the point you were making. Theyy reported it as “claims made by activist group@ he tweeted it as “facts”. This is two very different things. The claims made by the articles and by trump are mostly not true from any other data source i read I might add. Some farmers have been killed though.

In IL cops are called on an 8-yr old girl walking her dog alone.  The girl is white. 

So how will the media make this about race?

Yeah.....McCain served....and then he came home and served some more.  IMO, he was the rare politician that was there to actually serve, rather than get rich.

Goddamn I remember thinking Trump was done when he criticized McCain & being a little sad because he would no longer be able to derail the GOP leaders like Rubio who I thought we couldn't beat. Boy was I wrong.

Yea Trump was dumb to disrespect him and McCain was dumb to play politics with his Obamacare vote.  McCain political legacy will not be cemented in the flip flop he did on that.

Despite McCain's views on the Iraq war and his views on Obamacare, you can bet your last penny that his legacy is secured as a patriot. For many reasons.
