That woman was telling him that he was 'on a bike' , as if he didn't know that... and what is negative about using a bike for transportation there today? I thought the left wanted us all to ride bikes.
When a SJW goes full retard and is then confronted by a paradox (in this instance a black Trump supporter) they will link inanimate objects to degrading of social status, like she is living Facebook.
In other words, she couldn't call him a racist so her mind went into a feedback loop as she tried to be nasty to him another way.

There's nothing about this video that screams "needs to be watched!" to me? YouTube is lousy with this sort of thing isn't it?
- "I see signs of unity and love and peace and yet at his inauguration they were burning a McDonald's, a Starbucks..."
Who is "they" exactly? The anarchists and antifas rioters burning up the limo and smashing out windows aren't the same folks who participated in the women's march. Notice that there were 200 arrests on inauguration day and 0 arrests the day of the woman's march depsite the fact that it drew what is either the largest or second largest crowd in the history of DC protests.
- "He was elected rightfully by the majority of the country"
Well no, he wasn't elected by a majority of the people in the country. He wasn't even elected by a majority of the voters. In fact, he lost the popular vote by a large margin. As much as Trump supporters don't care — and that's their right — it doesn't sit well with people who feel like their vote doesn't matter because they live in a populated area. Particularly when it's the same party who has won the popular vote twice in the last 16 years only to have the other's candidate elected. A lot of folks like to ramble about the founding fathers but put the shoe on the other vote and you'd see the opinions flip instantly. That's a whole different thread but it's rather moot in this context because the very next line blows up the typical Trump supporter comeback:
- "What about the other half that do like him? What about them? What about their feelings? When Obama was President and he pushed his political agenda, political correctness and he pushed all his agendas, did you see people doing all this? No, because we united behind our..."
He's clearly talking about half the people. More importantly, he's absolutely wrong. The fact that the lot of you are fawning over this guys "knowledge" is a little sad. The first nationwide Tea Party protest was held in 40-50 cities on February 27th, 2009. Just a tad over a month after Obama was elected.
There was no "unifying behind our President" that's a bunch of bulls#. I can't even believe how intellectually dishonest the Obama detractors in this thread are being. You insufferable hypocrites!
- "I'm against political correctness"
Me too. Why do you think that the most popular man-on-the-street-shuts-down-libtard-protester videos feature black people? Can we be honest about how excited many Trump supporters and right-wingers in general are when they see a non-white or a LGBT person spewing conservative rhetoric? Remember Trump? Lmao. "There's my African American!"
What do either of these have to do with anything? Oh wait, it's coming...
- "Do you know why Trump couldn't get anyone to his inuguration? Because of the McCarthyism Hollywood"
That's actually quite hilarious considering that it was Saint Ronnie, FBI SNITCH, who as SAG President provided lists of names of suspected communists and communist sympathizers to McCarthy and his witchfinder general, Roy Cohn, who was of course Trump's mentor, friend and personal lawyer for 13 years.
Comparing celebrities denouncing Donald Trump to McCarthyism is ridiculous and completely ignores the historical reality of McCarthyism. In fact, it's a slap in the face to the real life people who actually suffered under right-wing witch hunts.
How much of this garbage do I need to address? The next bit about Sanger? BFD. Lots of people were eugenicists. Winston Churchill supported eugenics. Teddy Roosevelt? Supported eugenics. Charles Lindbergh? Yep. John Tanton, the man behind FAIR, NumbersUSA and the CIS? Eugenicist. He's alive. His organizations are generating propaganda that is quoted by congressmen, right-wing media and many of you right now.
Oh wait? Did "Big Ante" just drop some knowledge on you? Yes, the most influential person in the US anti-immigration movement has a documented history of support for eugenics.
These videos tell me more about the people who post them than anything else. There's nothing remarkable here. This is at best a JV debate.
Run into me on the street talking this s#. I guarantee the results won't be anything you want to put on YouTube.
Ah, I see. So the Tea Party movement was about Obama then? Talk about uninformed... Look inwardly pal. Obama faced nothing like this.
Also quite amusing that one day we hear how the protest on Saturday was like nothing we had ever seen before and then is compared to 2009 when required. Weak.

Actually I was alluding to when armies use rape as a tool, when typically children of a useful age are used and the rest of the male population are desimated and the women are raped.
Think the Sierra Leone and the civil war.
I didn't mention culture, I didn't mention women's rights in relation to that point.
Fact is when you have 100 women from a village, that have been made to conceive. You then have a potential of 100 babies that are literally not wanted.
I don't know about you but I feel it's a humanitarian issue, when life is discarded and/or destroyed due to unwanted birth. Then we have an issue, nobody wants those children and orphans are already too common on this planet.
I mean, for goodness sake... The USA still has PLENTY of cases of babies being dumped in bins or abandoned in nefarious circumstance.
Is that ok with you?
Because I'd wish it not in the Congo, LA or London. It's wrong.

How about you open your eyes and look outwardly — at the real world — a place you've clearly ignored for the last eight years:

Today, the vast majority of people with far right, extremist, divisive, racist, and even fascist opinions, will have voted for Trump this time around, and that is just a fact.
Well Joe, MORE than half of your nations voting public are aware that Trump is about to destroy everything that the human and civil rights movement has been about creating for the last few decades at a stretch, the women in that crowd have just had a room full of men make some very far reaching choices about how they may and may not use their body parts, and that is just in the first few days.
As for the majority, he was spot on. The majority of the country voted Trump. The vast majority. Something like 3 counties to 1. I guess you are still upset that no one with a brain is buying the countrywide popular vote argument, which is not part of the US electoral process, no matter how much you would like it to be.
I find your race baiting to be rather nasty. You seem to continually fall back on crying racist on the basis that Republicans treat black people they see talking sense as 'the black friend'. What a cop out argument.
Anyone running into you on the street would know almost the moment you started talking that you do not have an objective bone in your body.
As for your Margaret Sanger argument, that is just special. Other people were eugenicists, so the history doesn't mater. Kind of like a white nationalist saying that they've softened on some of Hitler's policies and they are OK now.
Oh and here is one back at you - liberals absolutely HATE when a minority person escapes their ideology. Makes it so much harder to divide.

Trump is not necessarily an improvement on Obama, who was an improvement over Bush, who was an improvement on scandalous Clinton. The last few presidents, you've had a progression in "perfection". The next time this will happen will be when an openly lesbian or transgender, or what's that new one today, nonsex or something, person becomes president. Because that's never happened before, that'll be more perfect than the last thing we considered perfect - black people as president.
