The truth hurts which is why you, one eye, sirk and the other right wing trolls are actually in denial as you are fully aware of the truths I post while pretending to have my posts on ignore. :)

There are many things wrong with this post - leaving aside the judgement, but just these statements :

"He was half white genetically, and had much whiter features than black. In fact, if he had had the flat nose and large lips more typical of certain Negros
, I am positive he never would have been voted into office. "

How is such blatant racism allowed to go unnoticed in this Christian forum?

I am reporting this post but I also want to highlight it to see if anyone else thought it was reeking of racial hatred - questioning the capability of someone who looked a certain way to get into a political office.

So sad.
Oh my. The lack of discernment in your post is almost shocking. Oh well. It does not surprise me, after all. Pointing out the racist tendencies of others seems to have fired you up beyond reason.

Agree 100%. There is no room for bigotry of any kind in a Christian professing forum.

LOLOLOLOLOLOL. Your bigotry and hypocrisy and negativity and pejoratives aside, of course. Always you make plenty of room for them! You excuse them, even.

Maybe he knows how to assimilate data having to do with the current level of racial tension in the nation and such.

Maybe he's a realist because the American people can be racist.

Devil's advocate KWIM?

Yes, I hope the mods take action. I am sorry to see such nastiness, regardless of political affiliation.

Racism and hatred towards people based on things like physical attributes or different political inclinations should not be allowed.

Seattle judge blocks Trump's travel ban; White House to appeal | Reuters






A Seattle federal judge on Friday put a nationwide block on U.S. President Donald Trump's week-old executive order that had temporarily barred refugees and nationals from seven countries from entering the United States.
The judge's temporary restraining order represents a major setback for Trump's action, though the White House said late Friday that it believed the ban to be "lawful and appropriate" and that the U.S. Department of Justice would file an emergency appeal.
Still, just hours after the ruling, U.S. Customs and Border Protection told airlines they could board travelers who had been affected by the ban.
Trump's Jan. 27 order caused chaos at airports across the United States last week as some citizens from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen were denied entry. Virtually all refugees were also barred, upending the lives of thousands of people who had spent years seeking asylum in the U.S.
The State Department said Friday that almost 60,000 visas were suspended in the wake of Trump's order; it was not clear Friday night whether that suspension was automatically revoked or what travelers with such visas might confront at U.S. airports.
While a number of lawsuits have been filed over Trump's action, the Washington state lawsuit was the first to test the broad constitutionality of the executive order. Judge James Robart, a George W. Bush appointee, explicitly made his ruling apply across the country, while other judges facing similar cases have so far issued orders concerning only specific individuals.
The challenge in Seattle was brought by the state of Washington and later joined by the state of Minnesota. The judge ruled that the states have legal standing to sue, which could help Democratic attorneys general take on Trump in court on issues beyond immigration.
Washington's case was based on claims that the state had suffered harm from the travel ban, for example students and faculty at state-funded universities being stranded overseas. Amazon.com and Expedia, both based in Washington state, had supported the lawsuit, asserting that the travel restrictions harmed their businesses.
Tech companies, which rely on talent from around the world, have been increasingly outspoken in their opposition to the Trump administration's anti-immigrant policies.
Judge Robart probed a Justice Department lawyer on what he called the "litany of harms” suffered by Washington state’s universities, and also questioned the administration's use of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the United States as a justification for the ban.
Robart said no attacks had been carried out on U.S. soil by individuals from the seven countries affected by the travel ban since that assault. For Trump’s order to be constitutional, Robart said, it had to be “based in fact, as opposed to fiction.”





while some believe that the Flame of Freedom has been wiped out by Trump such as this toon suggests below,






...others use the courts and the Constitution to insure that the Torch remains lit with the symbolic Fires of Freedom.

You use the word "truth" often. You as a jurist, should know truth doesn't make a fact.

Peacenik, a jurist!?!?!? I almost ruined my keyboard when my choking laughter sputtered coffee all over it.

That was a good one. I needed the laugh.

Can you explain how magenta expressed racism and hatred?
Like I mentioned, there were many things wrong with that post, not just racism. Let's start with some universal things - or at least I shall say it is universal, being that I am Indian and not even American, and I am aware of these things.

The term "negro" to refer to a group of people has been associated with slavery, discrimination and is considered offensive.

If you don't think this is hatred - I suggest you go and read this person's post to a group of Americans who identify with that race and see their reactions to it. Try doing it in public.

If you can do that, without an ounce of shame, then there's no point in me having to explain anything further.

What utter nonsense. She was describing one of the obvious differences between the Caucasian and Negroid races. How do you think doctors can glance at an X-ray or a skeleton and tell you, instantly, whether it is a Negro, an Asian, or a Caucasian? We are different in our bone structure, as well as our fleshly parts.

Yeah please go read her post to a group of Americans in public.

Also save your medical factoids - this has nothing to do with doctors. This has all to do with the fact that she was diminishing someone's rise to a public office by using derogative terms of their race.

To imply that people of a certain color or a certain race cannot aspire to a political office unless they were half-white or otherwise is disgusting.

Whoever you are, seeing your age posted - times have changed. Hopefully you can get over your racism and move on with it.

She was saying Blacks mainly voted for him because of his race. As for looks, Obama, himself, in one of his attempts at continuing the racial divide in America, publicly announced that if he had a son, he would look just like a Black kid who got himself killed for attacking an Hispanic night guard in an apartment complex.

I was doing the opposite of what you are saying. His white features helped him get elected. But you are so ignorant and bent on slander you would call someone a racist for saying white people have pale skin.
