The white supremacist you're talking about isn't even white, and he's a massive troll. The discord is not the official discord of this site, just a place where people from here can hang out if they do have discord, if you have a problem with offensive jokes or people suggesting views that you do not agree with that's your problem, none of the admins or mods there want to police or censor people unless it crosses the line and the barebone rules in place.

Man people like you put me in a position to defend Trump which I would rather not do but you are blatantly skewing everything to fit what you're shipping so guess I have no choice.

students of color were literally told to go to class at their own risk.

They may get triggered or their feelings hurt, but I'm sure this warning was more about the group of students who were shouting hateful shit like send them back, in which case fair enough.

meanwhile, the crowd was telling those students to go back to where they came from, but w/e racism doesn't exist.

Nobody says racism doesn't exist, rather than the fact that it's an overplayed card and the entire term is open to interpretation of each person, as for a small group of teenage students doing what teenagers do best, I don't see how they represent me, my opinion or millions of other people. Guilt by association does not work, there are all types of disgusting people endorsing either candidate.

president told us he sexually assaults women

When did he do this? 11 years ago on a tape where two men were having a private conversation about women? The fact that he gets scolded for this is absurd, I'm sure both you and me have said things much worse than GRAB THEM BY THE PUSSY XDD

as well as telling us mexicans are rapists :-)

You're saying it as if he declared all of Mexicans rapists, which he didn't more so than say not all people crossing the border are good people. If you ever saw what goes down at the border and around it you would change your opinion real quick, not only would you change your opinion but you would probably want a bigger wall and stricter border control than Trump does. It's very messy down there and not pretty at all, it's actually horrifying in a lot of cases and if you ask any of the people working with border control they would tell you the same thing based on experience and not based on ideology.

Adding onto that, that's the reason why the overwhelming majority of people working in any type of national security so to say, like military, border control, police, support Trump. It's because they don't live in the same bubble as more common folks do, their illusions are quickly shattered by the reality of things and that's the fastest way to realize things are not as black and white as everyone makes them out to be.

oh those silly nazis, what scamps :-)  

hate is hate, to brush it off as a joke, or as "trolling" is wrong.  ask yourself why someone may find those jokes funny.  it's usually (if not always) because of one's hateful views.

you're also right that I do have a problem with people suggesting views that I don't agree with, those views just happen to be racist, sexist, xenophobic, etc. views.  weird

so if white supremacy is okay in there, what exactly crosses the line?

It wasn't students spouting hate, the crowd was largely made of middle-aged adults.  by brushing off hate, you allow them to represent you.  I have yet to see you actually denounce hate, only defend it.

the motherfucker was wearing a lapel mic.  I may have said worse when I was 12, but I've grown up since then, and have rejected hateful views.  Trump wasn't a 12 year old when that was recorded.  adults should know better.

I would appreciate if you could give any statistics for this, though a certain occupation doesn't make one infallible.  I live in a state where that was proven over the summer, when an innocent black man was shot and killed by an officer after being pulled over.  In fact, many argue that this is a larger problem with the police as a whole.

I'd just like to say, I've seen the above "justification" ad nauseam from Trump apologists, and it never ceases to amuse me that people actually think that "Well I'm a sexist asshole sometimes so it's okay for the president of the world's most powerful country to be a sexist asshole" is a good argument. The sad reality is, it works in reverse too so future sexist assholes will say "Well the president of the world's most powerful country is a sexist asshole so it's okay for me to be a sexist asshole too! :v". With that in mind, I would just like to make my opinion abundantly clear, that it's never okay to be a sexist asshole.

@text_fish I didn't imply me or Drywall were sexist assholes, just that we have all said some things, and my point still stands you have probably said things much worse, regretted them and not gotten into this amount of 'trouble' for it. How much times does Trump have to apologize for something so trivial that he did 11 fucking years ago? There are real issues at hand.

@DrywallDreams If you believe our humble small discord hangout is a platform for white supremacy, then lmao by all means stay away mate.

Meanwhile at the DNC:

...still not getting it, look forward to Trump winning his second term in 2020 if you keep peddling this bullshit...

It's an important point that she makes, but you're right in that she does not get why the Dem.'s continue losing. When you cede an entire demographic to your opponent and do not speak directly to them and their concerns, of course they will go to the person(s) who are speaking to them.

We now live in a world where NASA needs to create a separate twitter account because Trump's administration is censoring science. This isn't fiction guys, this isn't a joke, this is happening right here, right now in 2017, take a few seconds pause and let this sink in for a bit. This administration is also trying to censor National Park's voices, and non surprisingly Trump also institutes a media blackout at the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency).
