"I'm not going to get into the weeds, but I never said the flag was flown BY the DNC. But when I turned on my TV and saw a couple of flags prominently displayed in the audience it really saddened me." BeckyTech Many of the t-shirts, flags, and signs I see at every Trump rally sadden me. However, I've been repeatedly told that Trump is not responsible for what his supporters wear/carry/say/do. At least the flag carriers at the DNC convention were allowed to freely express their opinion. We've all read & seen what happens to folks at Trump rallies who even *look* like they might have an opposing view. (And let's not fool ourselves in thinking that appearance had nothing to do with it.) Are you seriously suggesting that no disruptive protesters that are white have been removed from rallies?

No, she is referring to a Trump supporter who is Black and not being distruptive, nor protesting, who was kicked out of a Trump rally because the white crowd around him became disruptive yelling at him.

Do you have a link to that?

Do you have a link to that? There is a whole multi-page thread I started about it last week. Complete with video. You may look it up if you want to. It happened in North Carolina on an airport tarmac.

why do you spend so much mental energy on something like this, Becky?? You won't change anyone's opinion. Let it go, and perhaps enjoy yourself, or something. Couldn't the same thing be said to people like Papercrafter or Krazykatscrapper who post daily about the awful things Trump is supposed to have said or done? I think so, but I haven't seen you suggest it to them. not that I owe you an explanation, but what the heck- I'll explain. Becky is the one who came back to this thread and resurrected it after two days. (did you not notice that small fact?? apparently not.) Thus, me asking the question about why she feels such a need to continue beating a long-dead horse. I'm really feeling sorry for all the dead horses around here, and I cannot WAIT for them to finally be put out of their misery.

That's a link to Elaine's profile. I've already looked and I still don't see how that shows that only black disruptive protesters are removed. He wasn't protesting, but even the guy himself, says his actions stood out as unusual and can see why they may have set off the people around him and none of those had anything to do with the color of his skin.

I can see how the motions he made were the same in the various cases. So maybe he wasn't mocking the reporters disability. But he WAS mocking the reporter in general. So it doesn't really matter to me. It's inappropriate behavior for a potential president to speak about others so unprofessionally. It makes him look childish and foolish in all cases shown. That is without question the most honest statement I've read or heard about that particular moment of mockery. Thank you.

And why don't you heed your own advice--don't read them or don't post if they aren't to your liking? And there's a big difference in what Becky's now posting and defending vs the few threads I've started. It's really comical to see a few of you on the far left get butt hurt over the shit you start, add fuel to and do untoward others, coming right back at you.

I'm still waiting for a video of you flailing just like Donald, using the tone of voice and speech pattern he used when he talked about the reporter, to describe your own behavior on this thread. Then we can decide whether it looks like mocking. This may come as a shock to you, Elaine, but when you say "jump" I don't ask "how high."

The biggest shock will happen when you guys have to go back hiding under hoods...I mean rocks.

Is negative attention really better than no attention at all? Your continuing to respond at this point is the equivalent of asking "how high?" So, we're cool!

The biggest shock will happen when you guys have to go back hiding under hoods...I mean rocks. Olan, when I was a little girl, I was hurt to the core by some nasty racist taunts by the little girl next door, who I thought was my friend. My parents sat me down and reiterated what they had already taught me: The color of your skin, your racial heritage, your looks, none of that matters. It is who you are inside your heart that defines the person that you are. That is what matters. Always strive to be kind, generous, loving, and forgiving. That's what matters way more than the color of your skin. My grandfather hailed from Mexico, my grandmother's family immigrated to Mexico from Spain. They met and married in Mexico and immigrated to the U.S. legally. So you see, what you meant as a cutting remark is a big fail. Because I am what the people under hoods ... and rocks, loathe. I am simply a person with a different political viewpoint than you.
