Some People Will Never Accept That An African American can be Their Equal or Their Superior
They've been told since birth that White people are the superior race, and that no African American can be their equals, let alone superior to them. If they are, it's because guilt-ridden, White Liberals cheated the system through Affirmative Action to make that African America successful.

African Americans are supposed to be poor. It's okay for us to be singers, rappers, or athletes, but nothing else. If we're successful in any other field, it's illegitimate.

Trump is voicing what a lot of very successful White men are probably thinking. How can this Black guy be my boss? How can he run me? Why should I have to answer to him?

2. Not only that,
but Trump has been bankrupt any number of times. He inherited his money. There's nothing original or intelligent about him. I'm sure he's seething with hatred and envy.

4. You forgot comedians, but otherwise spot on
What is really weird is these beliefs are also supported by vast masses of unsuccessful white men and women. Shit poor who don't have enough sense to realize they are being exploited and they still would follow that mass of hair into hell if it could put one over on Obama.

Asians or Latinos are their equals or betters either. Their white male god gives them all power and the rest of the world is to be dominated by them...says so in the bible.

6. Hmmm - I never thought of Trump as racist, only an idiot and media whore...
Although I'll readily admit that there's a high probability you're correct.

7. Some people actually believe the white people did the blacks a favor
by dragging them from their native countries and enslaving them.

Such "thinking" boggles my mind. :eyes:

13. No President has ever been my superior. The President is my employee.
Automatic Unrec for failing to comprehend that everyone in this country is equal in the eyes of the law.

21. Equal under the LAW. President Obama is a public servant. His job is to serve the public.
I have a job too. I serve the privately owned company that I work for.

26. I'll bet you try to talk your way out of speeding tickets by saying
"I pay your salary - why aren't you out chasing down criminals!"

27. You'd lose. I respect the law, which treats us as equals and gives that cop authority to stop me.
And to cite me if I have violated the law.

The President has no authority over me whatsoever. But he and the cop are equal under the law.

BTW I did get a speeding ticket once, about two weeks after I got my driver's license. That was almost 37 years ago. I went to court, pleaded guilty, and paid a fine.

28. If you don't like the facts, that's your problem not mine.
Sickening, disgusting post. Why don't you just call him slave and be done with it?

Because he's not a slave. Please try to keep the discussion on topic and not about your bizarre, distorted opinion of me.

17. But "equal under the law" wasn't the OP's point....

23. The title of the OP contains the word "superior"
Any claim of superiority on the Internet MUST be put into its place. It's the law.

are a little more equal than the rest of us.

18. Whoah! This thread just made me remember something about Trump.
Edited on Thu Apr-28-11 10:10 AM by Chorophyll
Some of you may remember the "Central Park Jogger" case from the late 80s. A white woman was beaten and raped while running through the northern edge of Central Park. Police rounded up a large group of African American youths and coerced confessions out of them. Turned out, years later, that the rapist was someone else entirely. BUT, at the height of the media circus, the Donald took out full-page ads in NY newspapers calling for reinstatement of the death penalty... well, here's a link, you'll get the idea:

http://articles.nydailynews.com/2002-10-28/news/18202607_1_jogger-case-matias-reyes-reyes-confession

Always an arrogant prick, and yes, a racist.

On edit: not a great link, but the five young men's convictions were overturned, over a decade after the fact.

25. IDK
generally these people accept one or two African Americans could be their equal. Hey I got a black friend so I'm not a racist. They just don't accept that people of other races and culture as a whole have the same potential value to society that they personally do. They accept as a norm white privileged and see the loss of it as a loss of America as a concept.

30. like my granddad
from PA in the 1800s -- apparently the word "nigger" rolled off his tongue like he was using the word "the." Turns out his best friend was black and my dad was named after him. for most of my young adulthood, i thought that meant that he wasn't bigoted. just a thought.
