Im, personally, very friendly towards immigration in general, and tend to look positively on illegal immigrants. I know many, and have had positive experiences with all but a couple. Then again, i know when I see a mafioso, and know to stay away.
I don't favor the idea of a militarized border. But we do patrol our coasts....so why not patrol our borders, too?

Well, the wall isn't racist. Border protection is one of the primary duties of our federal government.
It just seems so low priority.
What does a wall provide us protection from precisely? And how..precisely?
Absent an intelligent answer to that, the rhetoric of "a wall" is a place holder for racism and bigotry at worst and at best the proposal for solving our national security that a 4 year old might offer.
Even his intelligent supporters called the wall a metaphor, not believing he would be stupid enough to build it...that is idiotic for his purpose.
So yes.. I believe our Potus elect to be pandering to racists or lacking the IQ of an adult.
I know it sounds insulting..but thinking it through...just being straight up.

But why is this on a discussion about American citizens in the inner cities kidnapping a disable white guy? I guess anything to deflect the insanity inflicted on us by Obama.

Obama?..Obama kidnapped this kid?...My god your brain is rotted...
This is the biggest excess of identity politics, that because some white people did bad stuff, therefore any and all comments and action against all white people, is thereby legitimated.

Is the media actively trying to piss me off? It seems like it. Why would CNN keep putting on this racist woman? She clearly has a problem with white people and doesn't hold back her hate, so why would they continue to let her spew this crap live on the air. ESPECIALLY after 4 black people filmed their torture of a white person?
This is the same woman who said of a white man pulled out of his car and beat up by black people saying 'F Trump, F white people', "Oh, poor white people". This is the same woman who said she didn't want white people leading the Democrat part. This is the same woman who said she doesn't think it's possible for black people to be racist.
Agreed on not trying them in the court of public opinion.

Everyone has a right to their opinion, even if it differs from yours. She's not in charge of what happens to these criminals, so there's no point in getting so upset about what one pundit says. I'm sure you could go to Fox and find another pundit who agrees with your opinion.
The fact is, the people who did this deserve a fair trial, because that's what we do in this country. Let a jury and judge review the evidence and decide. Trigger warning: you may or may not agree with their decision.
We are sick of the double standards. This isn't just her, not by a long shot.That's the hypocrisy. I know social justice issues as well as any.

I'm not American either.
Seems a lot are upset with her and her opinions, but are happy to call her names and the like.
Seems somewhat hypocritical to me.
Poor snowflakes.
That's a unfair dismissal. I'm a liberal. I believe in social justice. I am against sexism. I believe the double standards such as demonstrated by this woman are pernicious, even to the goals of real social justice. Also, I didn't vote for Trump..

Its a shame you guys don't hold misogyny at the same level as racism. If you did, trump would never have been elected.
Yet here you are feigning outrage over some (admittedly awful) comments from a black woman when your messiah has repeatedly spoken about women like they are objects or plain insulted them for the heinous crime of putting on weight
Ill give you one thing, you are consistent. Consistently hypocritical that is
I'm convinced that the identity politics rhetoric is causing some people such as her to become bigots towards white people or males.

How can she look at the tortured and scared face of that man and then say that nonsense? I think she must have a very cold heart.
More and more I agree that this is a divide and conquer ploy, playing on real issues such as historic oppression or racism. The problem is that most people, especially if every politics people, can't imagine they are being manipulated.

I honestly can't wrap my mind around the MSM being behind this all on their own. This is a tactical/psychological ploy being initiated by the government to divide us to the point of all out violence. I think with what just happened in Chicago we are at a very critical point in our countries history of the people being so damned stupid that the government won't need to go rogue and stomp down on us for their flagrant abuse towards our freedoms, we the people will do it for them!
Just think about the progression of where we are at to day. In a condensed version, look at our colleges teaching "white privilege", "white oppression", "identity politics", "social justice" (BTW, when did justice need an adjective?) and let's not forget "Imperialism and Patriarchy". The whole start of the use of "Hate Crime" under Obama and Holder was another start in 2011 it became quite clear that it was only to be directed towards whites. If any of you think this is just a coincidence I will have to vehemently disagree.
I will leave you with this thought. I think most of us know, corruption and greed within our government (and global governments) has brought not just only the US to an unsustainable economic level, but the whole world. How would it look if the US government failed, the people rise up and the government retaliates in the eyes of the rest of the world? Not good right? Well, it won't happen that way, because we will kill each other for them based on which tribe of identity politics we side up with, they will sit back and watch, and then in steps God knows who to dissolve our broken country.
Our youth and many adults seem to embrace this so called change of identity politics without seeing the division and potential chaos we have coming! It won't matter who is right or who is wrong, when all hell breaks loose! The "People" won't walk away from this catastrophe as winners, that's for damn sure.............
