COMMUNITY United States Politics Thread: Trump's Second Term

[TheNightKing]

These mufuckas will never learn, smh.

Now watch him come out and be like “I was just saying how I’m common, not black.”

Bet he never said that in front of a white crowd though.

The tweet misquoted him.

 

[Gray Matter]

I read the NYT article this refers to. This is not what it says.

 

[TheNightKing]

The tweet misquoted him.

How? I listened to it and that’s what he said.

 

[The Lonious Monk]

The tweet misquoted him.

Yeah. His point wasn't "Hey, I'm kinda dumb so I'm like black people." He said "I'm no better than you," and then went on to support that by saying he had a low SAT score and had trouble reading.

 

[Golan]

Yeah. His point wasn't "Hey, I'm kinda dumb so I'm like black people.

He quite literally said “I’m like you.”

 

[RandomOne]

His attempt at trying to be humble failed


Didn't know he had severe dyslexia. Was going to question how the hell he can't read

The tweet misquoted him. It took out what he said in the middle and took off the end of his sentence. The parts they edited out changed the context of what he was saying.

Do you have the unedited one?

Its in the tweet itself.

Oh you're talking about how the tweet doesn't mention him saying "I'm no better than you" but it's in the video

The women won gold too smh. But theyre hockey players, i bet they'll still support him

He then said right after that. "I'm not better than you." Also, he didn't bring up race. Yes, the crowd was mostly black, but it was a televised interview, so he knew he wasn't just being watched by black people. It's disingenuous to paint it as him just telling a bunch of black people that he was like them because he was dumb.

I don't care about Gavin Newsom. I don't want him to win anything on a national level. But you should probably be skeptical about any video from a user named "End Wokeness."

I get what you’re saying, and I can’t speak to his intent, but these white politicians certainly have a skewed perception of black people, consciously or unconsciously. They love to bring up talking points to score cool points with black people but instead they just reveal their skewed perceptions.

Clinton with hot sauce in her purse.
Biden with you ain’t black if you vote for Trump.
And now this I’m dumb so I can relate.

Taking it further, it also shows they don’t have black people in their immediate, trusted circle who could tell them where the lines are.

The only one that did it right was Clinton with the sax on Arsenio. Jazz and the sax aren’t stereotypical to black people, but it was cool to black people.

Turns out the crowd wasn’t Black…
