Joy Reid said something on Rachel that was very disturbing about Trump & the KKK & our candidates

[jillan]

Her and Rachel were having the same conversation that everyone is having about Trump's KKK following, and then she said (paraphrasing here)
what is really concerning is this is happening at a time when the Democrats have one candidate that is Jewish and the other is a woman.

I hadn't thought of it that way before. Trump is having a hatred revival, giving these scumbags a voice and even if Trump loses the GE (hopefully won't even get that far!) these people are now energized.

Secret Service - please take extra care of Bernie & Hillary.

I guess we should be very thankful Trump did not run against Obama.

1. I'm scared too

[jillan]

2. They are crawling out from under the rocks to support him. And violence pursues.

[bravenak]

3. The KKK tells them to VOLUNTEER for Trump

Both of our candidates are hated by the KKK. For obvious reasons. I want Trump GONE!

[jillan]

6. His son just did a radio show on some white supremacist radio program that will air this weekend

and what did his son say? Oh I didn't know he was a white supremacist.

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

I don't have a link - Rachel mentioned it tonite.

[bravenak]

12. He didnt know?

Oh yeah right!! Him a kkk and his son on kkk radio. This guy is the actual worst candidate ever, i hate him.

[chillfactor]

5. disgusting and frightening....

I guess I never believed there was so much hatred and violence in this country..I do now...and trump is the instrument of it all.

[bettyellen]

4. Also, issues of racist violence from LEO have never been this discussed as a national issue.

[Skid Rogue]

7. UGH!!!!!

Trump is having a hatred revival, giving these scumbags a voice and even if Trump loses the GE (hopefully won't even get that far!) these people are now energized.

In Birmingham, that's the main topic of conversation. Trump won here big time. Everyone is super worried.

[jillan]

11. Holy shit! I am sitting here with tears in my eyes reading that. This is worse than I thought -

TG for Joy Reid for talking about this.

Everyone else is just debating about Trump's supporters but is anyone in the msm even talking about the real impact this is having?

[Skid Rogue]

30. Oh God, I know...

Yesterday, in the "ignorant Red States," (and I swear that's not a shot against Senator Sanders) I was having a conversation with an absolutely beautiful, intelligent, 19 year old girl/woman, who is also an African American Muslim. Her Dad had just asked her to stop wearing her head scarf. She was upset. I'm old enough to be her Mom. What the hell would you tell her?

I just kept thinking Christopher Isherwood and Wiemar Germany. (Sorry, but I'm gay and I work at the largest public library in Alabama. I go literary.)

8. True, a 'hatred revival.'

Maybe (or not) alluded to here, but a 'must read' anyway: http://www.democraticunderground.com/12511392759

[merrily]

9. Remind me when the KKK "crusaded" against rich, white, powerful, Protestant women?

The victimhood is getting a little thick amongst Hillary's surrogates, including those at MSNBC.

That said, I love me some Joy Reid anyway.

[jillan]

14. This is about Bernie too. They are extremely anti-semitic. "Kill the Jews".

[merrily]

21. That is far more plausible. The KKK has long been anti-Semitic.

[jillan]

28. I know what you are saying & normally I wouldn't think twice about a woman, there are women in the

KKK, but when it comes to Hillary - it's concerning. Bill was called the "first black President". They despise her & everything she stands for.

I'm all about Bernie, and I do not want Hillary to win - but I don't want her as their target either. The back and forth between our supporters is one thing - their hatred is at a whole other level. Their hatred is real.

[merrily]

29. Toni Morrison called him that early on. He ran twice. Did the KKK attack him?

Loads of African Americans endorsed him and campaigned for him twice. Loads of African Americans endorsed Hillary in 2008 and campaigned for her.

[emulatorloo]

16. African Americans endorse and vote for her. In KKK minds, you know exactly what that makes her.

[merrily]

18. Actually, I don't. Whites voted for her too.

African Americans and whites vote for every Presidential nominee. They've voted for every President since Emancipation. So have Hispanics, Asians, etc.

As I said the Hillary is a victim card is getting really thick.

[emulatorloo]

22. Let me spell it out for you

To those vile racists, it makes her a 'traitor to her race' and a 'nigger lover.'

Note to Jury: educational post, I am not speaking those terms myself.

[merrily]

23. AGAIN people of all races have voted for every President since Emancipation. Spell that.

[emulatorloo]

24. So? We are talking about the mindset of the KKK/White Supremicists

They hate Jews, they hate Blacks, they hate Whites that associate with Jews and Blacks.

[merrily]

26. Huh? I know what we are talking about. Do you?

The KKK does not attack white Presidential candidates simply because African Americans are voting for them, or they would have attacked Bush 1 and 2, Reagan, Bubba, Mondale and everyone else for whom African Americans have voted, not only Hillary.

[emulatorloo]

27. Goodnight merrily

[gordianot]

10. I know more than a few scumbags.

They are really pumped and surprisingly they hate Cruz and love Trump.

[Nyan]

13. It may not be really about Drumpf after all.

It may be that these people have been waiting for someone like Drumpf all along, ever since we put Obama in the WH. And Drumpf is just an outlet.

[Cleita]

15. I heard that too.

My reaction was why are we still fighting racism? It shouldn't exist today with what we know and with what we resources we have to put an end to it.

[jillan]

17. We're still fighting it because of people like Trump that are giving them a voice. In 2008

it was Palin bringing out the crazies.

Now this.

[emulatorloo]

19. It was a terrifying segment.

[iandhr]

20. Rachel has been talking about this a lot. She often talks about how this bears much similarity...

... to George Wallace's 1968 campaign.


And I agree with the other posters. It is quite horrifying.

[one_voice]

25. In a sense they are running against Obama

He's bringing all that hatred to the surface with all the talk of Obama ruining the country etc. I hope both our candidates the President & first family take extra care. The secret service really need to stay on their toes.

[jillan]

31. It was Trump that was pushing the whole Obama is a Muslim from Kenya bullcrap. No wonder why

they support him.

[Jenny_92808]

32. Huh....Trump Racist speech

must be against Hillary women. How stupid do they think people are in this country. You know them by their works (and I am not religious). Hillary supporters have gone over the you-know-what.

Drumpf is against all women, even his daughters who he said he would choose to F.
