Trump breaks tradition, doesn't recognize LGBT Pride Month

[oldtimer1]

Why a whole month? Only 10 other months available.  They should be gone in no time.  Blacks and gays should get one day like everyone else.

It's a fucking joke. One group wants us to celebrate a sexual abnormality which occurs in a small percentage of the population and another group wants us to celebrate a few successful individuals while forgetting that, as a group, they commit a disproportionate amount of crime for their percentage of the population.

I never remember you being this outspoken on racial matters

You're right. I've decided that it's time for people to stop being labeled as racist just because they make perfectly rational decisions about their personal safety on the basis of incontrovertible statistical data and empirical experiences:

"The race/ethnicity of known Robbery suspects is primarily Black (69.2%). Hispanic suspects account for an additional (24.9%) of the suspect population. White suspects account for (4.0%) of all Robbery suspects while Asian /Pacific Islanders accounted for (1.8%) of known Robbery suspects."

Yes they commit a disproportionate amount of crime given their population.  Tired of liberals saying it's racism that so many blacks are in Prison and Jail.  They do the crime and they do the time. In NJ where I live they say bail is racist and results in too many minorities in jail. The politicians came us with NJ Bail reform. Cops now arrest people for felonies and have to release them in hours of bringing them to the Police station with nothing but a promise to show up in courts.  No one is going to show up for their court dates.

I'm sorry, but I don't just base my entire life around what a person's skin color happens to be.

You know what, I would be just as weary of a dirty, possibly drug addicted, sketchy white guy, as I would a tatted up black dude dressed in red, or a group of Mexicans with white t's and khakis.

The judgement/perception is rational and natural. The immediate dismissal/hatred based on skin color alone, is ignorant.

[Coach is Back!]

LGBTQRSTUVW are only like less than 6% of the population and discriminated no more than anyone else. Good for Trump.

Where do you live? Every time I hear someone talk like this they usually live in an area where there are no blacks. I can name two of them on this board: tapeworm and slapper. They both live in an area that's 1% black. Yet, feel free to give the rest of us a civil rights lecture. To people like this, inner cities are an abstract. To those of us who actually live near them they're something very real.

Spare me the bullshit. I've heard it all before. The statistics are what they are.

Ignorant to you who.Not ignorant to me or any smart person who have delt with these people many times.

Was just about to say the same thing.just like when I drive to very rich towns to do work they all have black lives matter banners,why?because no blacks live or will live near them if thy did they would not have those signs up.

Start preparing more space on Mount Rushmore.
Trump is headed there.
He's better than I ever dreamed he'd be.

I actually like Trump, and the balls he has shown in his first 6 months in office. However, if he keeps things like this up (pissing off gays and muslims) not to mention the legions of liberals who already hate him, he better squeeze his reform and ideas into a four year window (if he gets that long)

The way things are going, he will have no chance at getting a second term. But then again, I maybe jumping the gun a bit.

Unfortunately with Trump being President, we may have taken a step forward, but I fear that the immanent backlash will take us 10 steps back. I am already fearing who are next Presidential candidates may be.

There is a reason that stereotypes exist.  They're based in fact.  In fact,  "Deliverance" couldn't have been filmed with out them.

Another example?  Most homosexual black men are screaming "nellies".  A stereotype based in fact.  I recently asked a homosexual friend of mine who confirmed it is still so.  If you don't like the truth of a stereotype then work to change it for the better.

Or just continue to whine that it's "racist", "homophobic",  "schmoemophobic" or whatever they label good people next.

Lol, I live in Florida. It is one of the biggest melting pots in the USA. You are right about the statistics. They do tell a true story. However, I won't live in fear that the next person that I run into (who isn't white) aims to rob, rape, or kill me.

You can't live like that. Some of the best friends of my life (roommates even) were black. Sometimes it's also what you project outward.

I truly believe that given the right chance any black man will try to rape,rob or kill.i don't live In Fear of it I'm just aware of it.

Thank you for giving me one sentence, that truly defines what a racist is.

If he keeps this up he'll be the first 75 year old re-elected to a second term. He's bitch slapping everyone (media wise) that tries to get in his way.

I guess not liking people due to there color of there skin.I truly don't believe it's the color of their skin that makes me feel this way though.Its everything I see and hear that this group of people that have a certain skin color do and say.

Interesting. And do you only feel this way about black people, or is it anyone who isn't white? Do you immediately hate them just on sight?

What happens when you actually have to interact with non-white people?

You didn't answer the question. Where in Florida?

What are you suggesting? That I live in some isolated, gated, white community devoid of impurities?

I'm suggesting that I'm 1000 times more qualified to speak on this than you. Prove me wrong.

Florida is not an answer.  It's a big state. In New York you could live in a place that's 99% white and one that's 99% black.

I interact with anyone who knows how to act in public with manners.If a black guy has manners and isn't hooting and hollering I can have a conversation with him.i have no problem with asians and Indians.Mexicans kind of just cause I look at them as dirty and sneaky.if a black guy is normal I can talk with him many times and we will discuss how I feel and it's happened before and they usually agree with my thoughts.
