No. Racism has become something other than what it used to be. In other words, 40 years ago, I'd be considered pro-feminism. But the definitions keep getting so radical, at this point I'm considered anti-feminism.

Saying you want to follow the law and keep people from coming across the border unless they do it legally is not racist. Any single way you slice it.

Also, these protesters are more bark than bite. A few hundred at a rally in California. But the pro-Trump crowd was about 32,000 people. Who is the real crowd here?

"We don't believe Trump should speak because we feel he is offensive!" Good lord. I feel Bernie Sanders shouldn't speak because he offends me. What would make their being offended overrule my being offended?

FYI, in our country of laws, being offended is NOT AGAINST THE LAW!! It's not a crime to hurt feelings. But jumping on cars and blocking traffic is.

Sure, but wanting to deport 11 million people and revoke birthright citizenship smells an awful lot like ethnic cleansing.

That's your opinion. You have yours I have mine Trump has his. That's America. You cannot say, "Well...I FEEL that I'm right..therefore you can't speak." That's not America.

I think there are alot of stupid people in America who do not understand our laws.

Being a racist - Not illegal
Being offensive - Not illegal
Controversial statements - Not illegal
Emotional assault - Not illegal
Jumping on police cars - Illegal
Blocking traffic - Illegal
Physical assault - Illegal

Catch my drift? They are morons.

What about saying the majority of immigrants are rapists? Is that racist enough for you?

Statistics have shown that immigrants are much less likely to commit crimes than native-born citizens.

Reaganfan keeps avoiding this fact.
He doesn't want to touch it, because the truth hurts. The issue is beyond just "following the law and keeping people from coming across the border." trump said more than that !
It's easier for people who support trump, to just put on their blinders and cover their ears to some of what Little-Hands-Drumpf-Fuhrer said, and just accept and intake what they like most.
Pure mental denial.

I'm not avoiding the fact. First of all, most Republicans support some path to citizenship. So your argument that all Republicans wanna keep Mexicans out is ridiculously flawed.

The fact is you liberals believe in freedom of Speech, unless you disagree with it. That doesn't make it illegal. You can't outlaw vague opinions. Racism, offensiveness, they're all opinions. I find things offensive you might not. We can't outlaw them.

I think the sad truth for me is...I don't really care. Do I care of my President is pro-gay marriage or against it? Not really. Do I care if my President wants to build a wall or create a pathway to citizenship? Not really. (After all, I'd vote for Jeb as fast as I'd vote for Trump) Do I care about the color of my Presidents skin? No, I really could care less. I'd vote for Condi Rice should she be the GOP nominee.

It's sad when in 2016 America, REAGANFAN is the open-minded one.
