Well, all I can say is that I hope that you get a little more exposure to people in other communities. Where I'm from the poorest parts of the city are nearly 100% black and aboriginal. These areas have the highest violent crime rates and also high levels of kids dropping out of school. I probably held similar idealized views as you when I was in high school (going to a private high school ironically in a very poor area). Volunteering in underprivileged areas is a great way to help and also expand your worldview.
I think just the fact that you responded with "lol" when confronted with the idea that some communities have higher rates of poverty due to generations of people unable to break a cycle that began with racism shows that you might not have the maturity required for this discussion.

Mhm, I disagree. Isn't Paul or Rand more popular than him? After his comments about his views on mexicans came out his popularity dipped, and when he insulted Megan Kelly on air that wasn't helping with his popularity at all.
People are over exaggerating his fame, tbh. I'm seeing people compare him to Hitler and that "nobody thought Hitler would become president, but look what happened". The key difference between the two is that Hitler was a persuasive speaker and attracted people who weren't even on the right, where as the only people who take Trump seriously are either nazis or far right libertarians.
I browsed some republican outlets and read the comments, popular opinion among republicans seem to be that Trump is an idiot. I know a few republicans who even said if it came down to Bernie/Hiliary or Trump, they would go democrat.
To be truthful, I'm not sure why I keep up with American Politics. I have never liked a candidate (yes, even bernie sanders. I dislike zionists. Yes I know about Jill Stein, but I have no interest for democratic socialists either). I plan to move by the time I'm of age hopefully.
But I believe Trump is only in this for the money. He has made comments in the past saying he would never want to be president. The stuff he says is completely outrageous and he charges people $100 just to hear him talk. He has no respect for anyone, and he doesn't seem concerned with his public image at all. I'm honestly not worried.

Donald Trump is a dumbass by flying that racist flag so high because a large percentage of the Republican base is Hispanic. I suppose for a lot of traditional Hispanic families, that these candidates reflect conservative values is a positive that outweighs the many many negatives for them and Southern immigrants. But I digress.
He'll never have a chance to get voted in without them so.

How is it racist? I am white and I am privileged. There is no racism in what I said. If I was not white then it would be.

That's not the point. You cannot tell me that people who are not white are treated the same as white people because they're not. I can tell you're another one of those people who say racism isn't a real thing tbh.
I feel this is getting offtopic though and I'll leave it as that

The term "white privilege" is considered racist because it's throwing in race in front of people's faces. If race isn't the main reason or if no racial issue is involved, it would be considered racist to add race to the issue. Using terms like "racist", "white privilege" etc is considered adding race to an issue where race isn't involved, or making race the main reason to something when race isn't even a reason. It's not only hating a person of another race for racial reasons that's considered racist. False accusations of racism, the racial privileges, and racial quotas are all racist because they're tainting a subject by adding race. If race was the main issue, then it's not racist to add race because it's already there.
Another reason why I objection to your use of the term "white privilege" because it's an act of bullying. It's showing that you're not respecting their opinions. But yes, I'm done with this subject. Let's get back to discussing Trump and not fight, okay.
Regardless of that his popularity is still massively high among certain groups. No publicity is bad publicity honestly.. Though you are right-- his name took a nose-dive in a couple poles recently, but that hasn't stopped some of the more 'extreme' republicans to rally towards his side.
Also I don't think the white privilege talk is super necessary? The convo should have never dropped there to begin with :\
How is talking about colour racism? In my opinion, racism is only racism if you are talking about colour and meaning to be offensive. I know there is a lot of real racism these days, but jeez can some people be sensitive.

Just a quick question, although huge, I'm not huge on politics since I'm kind of young, but why do people think he sucks? I'm not saying he is good, I'm just asking why people think he sucks.
Open discrimination to mexicans and sexism.

Thank you for filling me in.
yeah there's a ton of vids, I don't really follow this stuff but he's so open about it, it's hard to miss it. >.<
He also did
1) Said we should take over the middle east for its oil. He wants to go back there and take it.
2) Made fun of how asians speak http://www.nydailynews.com/news/pol...sians-broken-english-speech-article-1.2338344
3) Said he would date his daughter if she wasnt related to him (who the **** says that..thats creepy as hell honestly)..
4) complains about china taking away american wealth when his stuff is literally made in china
This thread needs a third option for the poll that says "I honestly don't care"
That's what I would vote for if it were an option.
I believe a "under the voting age" option would be better than that. Everyone should care about who will lead their country.

No, believe me I care who leads our country (I'm 18 now and plan on voting for the next USA presidential election), I just don't care to talk about Donald Trump or acknowledge him as an actual candidate. Two different things you and I are talking about, my friend.
Honestly, who cares if he has tons of money to use for his election?? If he, his views, his opinions, and his goals aren't popular with the public (which is obvious he isn't here), then he won't get elected. And if somehow he makes it anyway, then that just means our election system is that much more corrupt. That's what I think.
