I wonder if Italian Americans should go back to Italy?

I wonder if Irish Americans should go back to Ireland.

I wonder if Chinese Americans should go back to China.

For some odd reason, "African" is the only prefix that exists in front of "American" that he has an issue with.

If you have African first go back to Africa....smh.

no no... I just wanted to make sure that I read that right. I'm waiting for ITgem to respond. He a guy that's always shown his "wit"

so your okay with this, if it was form of Humor? Sound like you want to give the dude an out. Please tell me it aint so.

Build wealth, create your own happiness so that whichever politician becomes elected it wont cause you personal harm or anguish. Im not governed by political beliefs, I choose my life path and wont allow an artificial ceiling put over my head. The American Dream is still alive and well, you want something go get it.

Ill, you should know that much about me...I would never give an out on something like this. I just know how slick dudes are. I just wanted him to CONFIRM what I thought he said. He's a vet and I was surprised that he actually wrote that.

So lets assume that I read that right.

Itgem is a closet racist plain and simple. I just don't understand how any human being with "some" individual sense and knowledge of history- Can make a comment like that? Itgem, do you have blood under your skin? do you have two eyes? two legs? do you cry? laugh?
get angry? etc....

wtf is this you and your people nonsense?

This response is just plain stupid. Its obvious your rambling. Did I miss something about Black people Flying the Plane into the world trade center? and Doing suicide bombings? How you talking about 9/11 , and Isis from my post about a white racist at a trump rally expressing his hatred for blacks.... I will never know. :crazy:

tbh, I hate politically correct names for things as a matter of principle. Af-Am, for example, is a label some prefer, some don't. The "correct" way, is to ask someone how they identify culturally. When we demonize words, and then provide replacements, the hate and evil behind the SAYING of the word does not go away. I can see if there is a term that is created specifically for the intent to spread hate, but otherwise it feels to me like an attempt to sweep problems under the rug. "Well if we don't say the N word maybe racism will go away." No, that's horse ****. Same for the words which were once legitimate, in contrast to the aforementioned example, ie a certain F word meaning bundle of sticks, or slang for cigarettes.

Why the f*ck is Jeremy Lin Chinese American? His family is from Taiwan(iirc) and HE is from America. It is HIS choice if he wants to be asiain american or w/e. But WE DONT CARE. He will be an ambassador for China, and Asian and/or American basketball players whether he likes it or not (his wallet probably REALLY likes it).

There are of course other names or labels which become offensive over time. I also am not sure who the coalition is that gets to define these groups of people. Who is Whiteys representative? Does Trump get say on the term WASP? Changing the word is a band-aid, it's the lazy solution. It's not something I agree with.

I wish it were that simple. But if the wrong people are running this country, your wealth won't matter. You might catch a random bullet from some racist nutjob or explosion from a jihadist on a random Tuesday while enjoying your phesant under glass.

I personally dont refer to myself as such "African American", but it is what it is for the majority of people. Like you said, people have their choice ,no matter what their background is.

I dont live in fear.

Travel more. Go see the world. You arent confined to the U.S. or wherever you are from. Traveling is one of the most fulfilling things you can do imo. With that being said, the U.S. isnt the only place that is afflicted with these issues. I wish you peace.

It really is that simple. None of us can control who gets elected - outside of voting - and what legislation is enacted - outside of expressing ourselves to the politicians that represent us. The only thing we can control is creating our own happiness, whatever that may be. For some people, that may not entail becoming wealthy, but living a minimalist lifestyle. If you catch a random bullet from a racist nutjob or explosion from a jihadist, then you died pursuing happiness. That's all that really matters.

Personally, I would like to see Trump win just for entertainment's sake. I will not be voting for him, though, since I am pro-Obamacare.

For years people have been getting rich off our governent. Politicians come into congress, senate, and legislatures poor and come out rich.
Big business has got out of hand.

You would think trump IS big business? Not correct. He's simply a rich guy who made money by having money. The most impressive thing is: he didn't spend it all. Your taking about a guy who owns his own airplane, but somehow his wealth grows. We aren't talking about Allen Iverson here. The man knows how to protect and investment.

So why did I ask if trump was big business?

Big businesses are killing this country. Every soda, every cigarette, every crappy government weapons contract, every pharmaceutical pill, every seed that's gets genetically modified. These are the interests our government is based on. These are the problems we face. Not a wall being built.

Donald Trump has a big mouth but doesn't have an agenda. He's a real estate guy, a business man, and just what this country needs at this time. Ill choose this guy over pharmaceutical company-seed changing duesch any day.

I can't wait till trump gets elected and helps out all of you doubters, that is those of you who choose to work. When you can finally afford to live in a nice house on a decent salary, post back in this thread. I'd love to hear I was right about this.

I love it when people want to help you change a decision you made because they KNOW FOR FACT and you're just too stupid to understand they are right. I get why they do it tho. Because the minute one of their paranoid induced straw men gets exposed there's nothing left.

Person A: Trump absolutely is a racist who hates Blacks.
Person B: I'm black and I fully support Trump.
Person A: I don't think you understand. Trump doesn't like you.
Person B: I don't believe that which is why I support him.
Person A: Listen, I need you to understand me or this whole thing doesn't work - "Trump doesn't like people who aren't white"
Person B: I...heard...you and I disagree. I support him.
Person A: You's a fukkin Uncle Tom.
