These "experts" are experts only in their own minds. The word "racist" has been misused, abused and it now means anyone who doesn't agree with me.

Wow Martin, blocking me huh? You are a perfect Democrat stopping my first amendment rights. Nothing you just posted or the President posted referred to race. Nothing. Nationality yes, love of Country, yes. Race, no.

The President wasn't talking about race and everyone really knows that. They just want another opportunity to call him names

SPC Martin Wiesiolek - I do not attack people and have given less than five down votes, all with rationale.

I have said it before, but, I think it needs said again. I see two forms of racism. One treating people differently based upon their race - or assuming thins about another based on their race. The second is considering any statement made that opposes one's point of view to be racially motivated - what you say that I don't like is a racist statement.
Both forms do exist and neither is okay. I do think though that the second has become more prevalent.

And now we have a third...and that is reading other people's minds and attributing views to them based on what YOU think they feel. I have had quite enough of that as well.
