RE: Trump's words are making racism seem OK

in #america7 years ago

LMAO! You are a fucking kook! You actually believe our President was a secret Muslim from Kenya. Please provide links to whatever nut-job gave you this information. If you post Alex Jones or David Icke, I will be seriously disappointed. Please show me something I haven't already seen, and I will watch or read with an open mind.
I don't know any Democrat Communists. I know plenty of Democratic Socialists. I know some moderate Democrats. No communists. There is a difference. Again, you paint with too wide of a brush there. If I were to see a trend of Nazis, Confederates, and Russian operatives becoming active in my political party, I would leave the party immediately. As CEOs and Republicans separate themselves from Trump, it is nice to see I'm not the only one that thinks disavowing Nazis is more important than loyalty to a party or a president.

Sort:  

Are you acsusing YOUR president of being a liar.
watch the video
listen to what he says.
"My Muslim Faith".

He was obviously being sarcastic and pointing out ridiculous it is that some people were insinuating he was a Muslim. If there are other videos, post them also, or you are just talking out your ass.

again?
AH...I know the problem..you don't read..you just shoot from the lip.
you haven't read a thing I've said.
because you're such a cute snowflake I'll post it again


I thought that everyone had seen that clip.

Seventeen seconds long, and taken out of context. He is obviously being sarcastic, and he immediately corrects himself for clarity.

He is referring to this incident, btw.

riiiiight. I post one video...you don't believe it..
if I posted a hundred of them you'd still not believe it.
true believers are like that.
denial is not just a river in egypt.

I am a fan of critical thinking. It takes more than just a seventeen second video, taken out of context, of the president making a joke about Republicans accusing him of being a Muslim to make me believe such a wild and ridiculous claim.

I know many non-Muslim people that say "As-salamu alaykum." It translates to "peace be upon you." It is a traditional Arabic greeting, has nothing to do with religion, and was totally appropriate for Obama to say to a room full of Arabic speaking diplomats.
When he says "I am one of them", he is saying he is an American, not that he is a Muslim. The propagandist is once again using tiny excerpts of a speech, and using it out of context.
Why is this video so chopped up? Why is it so heavily edited? Why is the propagandist that made this afraid to use Obama's statements in their entirety?
It is revealing to see what kind of propaganda the alt-right is putting together to play on your racism and xenophobia these days. It makes me sad that such deceptive material is being fabricated, and that people are too afraid of what they don't understand not to see this heavily edited propaganda for what it is.

just keep telling your self that if it makes you feel any better.

I saw nothing in that video that would make me think Obama was a Muslim. What I did see was a clever and deceptive propaganda piece designed to dog-whistle xenophobic hicks that don't know any better.
Also, worth mentioning, I really don't care what religion my president is, so long as he is competent and represents me on the issues I care about.
