The reason many still call him "black" can be traced back to the "one-drop" rule.
This refers to a series of racist laws passed across America in the early twentieth century, which dictated that any person with as little as "one drop" of "black blood" were to be classified as legally "black", thereby restricting their rights and entitlements within society.

And here I always thought that ALL blood was red.


Just like you do and every other male does one way or another.
It's called "power of the pooter".
That's what keeps the world turning.

...which is a lot better than raping them like that hick from Arkansas.

So, my question to BBoy is: did you ever refer to the hick from Arkansas as the impeached rapist and Merkel as fat and ugly Muslim loving idiot?

They were not born that way, were they?

Nah...more like a coconut...brown from the outside but totally white inside! :)


Concerning the "hick from Arkansas" I still marvel about the hypocrisy of Trumpists...impeaching somebody for having his dick sucked by a very willing trainee and call him a rapist was totally justified, but when Trump does it with a prostitute it's either all okay or fake news and definitely no reason for impeachment...and he is of course not a rapist either, it's probably a conspiracy by said prostitute and his enemies to bring him down anyhow.

I wonder where the red line is with Trumpists...

Merkel might be an idiot, but I don't think she loves muslims so much, she would had let poor, hapless, fleeing USians in too, when they had come knocking for help. And about "fat and ugly" well...no botoxed glamour here, the Germans call her "Mutti", that's more fitting, I think.

Ah I see so you are saying that marriage is a form of prostitution or that if you buy a girl a ticket for a movie then you are comprimising her honor. Original arguments that I have never heard before.

Of course sometimes I might be guilty of the above but I don't think it's quite the same as screwing a **** star on my plane while my wife was looking after a young baby and then paying tens of thousands to keep it quiet.

Clinrton is not in charge any more, is not running for office and in any case faced proceedings for his misdeeds with a willing intern. So what he did 20 years ago is fairly irrelevant.

I don't blame you two for not having your facts in order. The hick was impeached for lying to a grand jury, not for having his knob polished by an intern under the desk in the Oval office. Disrespectful but not criminal.

Also, the rape charge came from different women, not the intern. But it's only an allegation so, legally, it didn't happen.

Yeah...and the orange one is a poster boy for the truth, isn't he!

He is until convicted.

In the meantime, let's have it what he lied about as president. His private life before he was elected is of no consequence or interest to me, because everybody lies, including you.

Before you start the list, please define what 'lie' is.

Nah...not interested!

People like Trump will get their comeuppance...sooner or later...I'm waiting till that time comes! :)

Can you or anyone explain what this and other such derogatory comments actually mean? Trump is like what?

If you decide to do it, go easy on the adverbs and the adjectives. Nouns and verbs will do fine. I can read and comprehend English very well.

What for?

I would tell you what I think of Trump, you will tell me how wrong I are...yadda, yadda, yadda.

The consequences of Trumps policies will come into play later, he has just started and is only one year in...the US, the West, the World will suffer because of his actions long after he is already gone...maybe you will come around to see what he did then. Right now it's useless. You will defend him at all costs!

If it's based on facts and what he actually did? No, I wouldn't do it. What most Trump haters do is just slap derogatory labels on him. Stupid, racist, xenophobe, etc which, of course, is meant to end the conversation rather than promote it.

I can tell you exactly what I think Trump has done wrong without a single adjective. He is still in Afghanistan and Syria. He is still paying and supporting NATO at the level he objects to. He is still funding the UN beyond what can be justified as the US contribution. He is still stuck with that 'recused' MIA idiot Sessions instead firing his sorry ass long time ago. He still didn't declassify and deliver the DoJ and the FBI documents Congress has been demanding for months. He should never do press conferences - only press releases. He should stop Tweeting. The wall is still a promise. He increased the DoD budget instead of cutting it.

See how easy it is to criticize Trump and be specific at the same time?

Yeah...but he is still only a year in...

As president he would have all info abut the ufo files too, Area 61 and so, hasn't he? Now that would be interesting! :)

(X-Files addict here:)

I will tell you something else he did wrong - slapped on too much self tan. Thats a fact.

There is a Chinese proverb that goes like this: Once a moron, always a moron.

I knew that you and the guy after you are have nothing. You just proved it. Thanks.

What, you don't believe in Ufos? :)

You had too much beer. Time to go to bed.

You and the rest of the Left Winged Liberal Nutter's here suffer from what we call the "Trump Derangement Syndrome."

But, but, but ... Hillary!

Dennis Prager put it best - liberals ask how does it feel, conservatives ask does it work. This difference is what separates a child from an adult.

Most kids outgrow this MO, some don't.

Simples. Conservatives destroy, liberals rebuild.


Yeah, they have to ask because they have no clue. They blow a 1.5 trillion dollar hole in the budget and then talk about being fiscally responsible. And who knew that health care was so complicated, right? I really hope that the stupid tariffs will kill Trump's base off once and for all.

Well how would you make sure that the balance of trade is fair to American industry and its people, its not at the moment.

Johnny its not only liberals that despise Trump. Most people on the sebsible right in Europe also dislike him. I think until hus visit last week maybe 20 percent of Europeans thought he was ok but that is now down to a handful after his pathetic abd disrespectful actions

The surest sign that Trump is right is that Euros don't like him.


...and all they can do is throw meaningless words like 'pathetic' and 'disrespectful' around with not even the slightest idea what these words mean as long as they sound as if they were a conclusion of a detailed and fact-based thought process. Never mind the fact that anyone with an IQ greater than 65 can do it just as easily.

Pathetic - generating pathos or arousing pity. It could for example be someone who forgets what they said a few hours ago because they are senile, or somebody who mixes up the words would and wouldn't when faced by public speaking engagement. Or it could be somebody who paints their face orange because it makes them look younger and more attractive. Or it could be somebody who pays adult actresses to sleep with him so that he feels more virile.

Disrespectful - demonstrating a lack of respect. An example might be turning up late for meetings that were scheduled many months ago It could be insulting your host and telling her she does not know how to run her own country It could be barging in front of a 92-year-old woman so that you get your picture in the photo first.

Trump is pathetic and he is disrespectful

You don't know anything what is in his head and what he 'forgot'. You are just pulling it out of your ass. Being late is often a tactical move. You get haircuts to look older and worse, right? Were you present when he 'paid' them?

Besides, if Trump is all that, you should rejoice because your heros look better by comparison. Or are you upset because we, Americans, have to suffer with him? Your concern is truly touching.

BTW, I just did an extensive research and found out that not a single Polish politician had a bimbo on a side. Ever. Or colored his hair. Isn't it remarkable?

LOL - all wise arguments.

Another definition of pathetic might cover somebody who is paid to sit in a basement on a hot day typing out rubbish while pretending to be a retired engineer

How so?

Does it work the other round too? You USians don't like Merkel, does that mean she is right?

No nobody likes Merkel, apart form Germans and the French.

So...she must be totally right!
