Trump implies Slavery/Segregation were better for blacks than the Obama Years

[Dr. Arch]

This is F-D UP!

[Dr. Arch]

Come on, guys. Hyperbole =/= intentional implication

This. As stupid as his statement was, I don't think he really meant to imply blacks were better off under Jim Crow or slavery. I doubt he thought that deep into it. I doubt he thinks deeply much at all honestly but who knows.

I mean, sure, I don't think he was intentionally trying to say that slavery was better for AAs, but you have to admit that this is another case of him not thinking before he opened his mouth. Even a tiny bit of thought could have avoided such an idiotic statement.

I mean he said "Ever, ever, ever." That much emphasis has to mean something beyond a lack of thought.

Maybe, but this is Trump we're talking about. I think opening his mouth before thinking is second nature to him.

If he were some foreign businessman, perhaps. But as an American, he is obviously aware of the history of the Black community in this country. It's a matter of surface-level thinking here. The expression has to be deliberate or he's a complete buffoon.

It's a hyperbole. Simething I frequently use.

As a presidential candidate (or as a person who is of any real societal worth), you don't go freaking making "hyperboles" (his message was actually very literal in my opinion and he deserves no BOTD) disrespecting the deeply scarring history of a whole demographic of Americans.

It's downright stupid, and I'm saddened, albeit not surprised, to see you defending such a disgusting display of ignorant rhetoric.
