So someone with a history of issues with minorites spends five years trying to delegitimize the presidency of the first black President by continuing to question his birthplace, then questions his college records - because a black man getting into college is obviously suspicious - doesn't strike you in the least that this is racist?
Move along white boy, your privilege is showing...

The white person questioning the citizenship of a black person for no reason other than he's black? Sure, seems legit.
From your comments I'm assuming that you, like me (and many others here), are a white male? If that is indeed the case, we don't get to tell women what they should find sexist, and we don't get to tell a person of colour what they find racist. It's that simple.
For the record, him name is Andy Samberg. Are you saying all their names look alike?
Also, can we pause for moment and you admit I was right about STL? The ONLY and I mean the ONLY reason they make the playoffs is because the West has been so oddly weak this year.
They ARE NOT one of the deepest teams in the league and I said they would grossly struggle to score more goals than they allowed. If DAL didn't completely s**t the bed this year, STL would be on the outside looking in. Watch out if DAL trades for Bishop or Fleury.
Still a lot of hockey to play, but do you concede, sir?

I wish the Sabres were in the West. Their record against the West: 8-3-2 including 4-1-1 against the Pacific.
The Maple Leafs will miss the playoffs for the next ten years.

Tanner is going to kneel down in front of his altar made entirely of graph paper and the tears of Harold Ballard (rare since he only cried when he had to spend money) in the shape of the greek symbol for pi and pray to the god of mathematics for your immediate destruction!
You can try begging for mercy, but my calculations suggest your odds are poor and your relative corsi is way below 50%.
When terrible things become normalized, terrible things happen. It's important to resist. Sorry if you're annoyed. But living with a leader you don't like is different than one who blatantly lies and threatens minorities, and who puts world stability in jeopardy. - James_Tanner
Yeah cuz the world has been all rainbows and unicorns in the past. Ridiculous post. Bad things has been happening for a long time, bombs are being dropped, segregation is bigger then ever, the environment are being destroyed and drugs/crime are flooding the streets. But now all of a sudden we are normalizing terrible things? Because he openly stands for his opinion instead of saying the right things and doing the world harm behind closed doors?
Dont get me wrong, I would not have voted for Trump if I where american. But I would not have voted for Hillary either. The democrats lost their own election, they lost against f*king Donald Trump. If Sanders where on the ballot, he probably would have been president and Americas future would be brighter then ever.

How is saying Obama is from Kenya racist ? Anyone ? - rinaldo
In the history of the USA no President prior to Obama had the veracity of his birth questioned. Then, all of a sudden, once a black guy gets the job, it's like "He isn't American." Hmmm what is different about Obama that we might notice that we might use to tell rednecks he isn't actually American ?
I honestly can't believe someone is asking this question. It is VERY VERY racist. It's shameful.

Inaccurate yes
Racist no - rinaldo
Sorry, this isn't a debate. Attempting to legitimize an accomplished black person because he is black is the actual definition of racism.
This isn't a debate. If you disagree, you are wrong. In fact, it's arguably racist to argue that the Birther Conspiracy isn't racist. I will give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you just don't know better. But, at best it's mind-blowingly ignorant.

St. Louis is the 4th best Possession team, so I do not concede at all. They are one of the NHL's best teams, they just haven't got good goaltending or good results.
I would WAY rather have a team with good possession and bad goaltending than bad possession and good goaltending because the former is far more likely to lead to wins in the longterm.
Both St.Louis and Boston are getting bad results despite thoroughly dominating most teams they play. I wouldn't put it past either team to win the Cup.

1. Segragation is not the worst it's ever been. That is false.
2. Violent Crime is at a 30 year low.
3. Trump paints a picture of a dystonia that doesn't exist or align with any facts. He does this so that uninformed people can be tricked into thinking he improved things. All he will really do is lie.

Sorry James. The spirit is right (and the vitriolic rhetoric the whole "birther" nonsense started), but the details aren't.
Chester Alan Arthur (His opponents claimed he was born in Canada which would make him ineligible to be President through a conflict of citizenship)
Charles Evans Hughes (This was before the 14th amendment came about, but it was argued that because his parents were born in Great Britain he wasn't American enough to be President)
Barry Goldwater (Born in Arizona before it was a state and so he technically had similar citizenship issues that people from Samoa have to this day)
Even John McCain ran into issues with failed lawsuits over the fact that he was born in the Panama Canal region when his parents were stationed there.

why do you continue to omit that Obama is 50% white? That seems racist to me; ignoring his other half. Cracks me up that is always forgotten. Raised by his white grandparents.
it was a legit question to question his birth place based on his parents way of life and origins. It was proved to be false. Sorry not buying the race card their chief. Just because you think it is doesn't make it fact.
Obama and his whiteness rule. if I disagree I am wrong. luv it

I like Bernie, he seems like a good person. But to state that he would have beaten Trump is crazy. He has way to many connections to socialism (which would have been presented as Communism - something that America and Americans hate) and the way that Trump played his campaign, that would have been all the coverage. IMO, Elizabeth Warren would have had a chance to beat Trump (based on experience, a reasonably scandal-free past, and an ability to play Trump at his own game without being consumed by it) and Biden would have wiped the floor with him. But again, the latter part is just my $0.02, fwiw.

Well that is all interesting, and I did not know that. Doesn't change a thing, because I highly doubt they refused to accept proof and just kept saying the fake thing daily in an Orwellien attempt to obfuscate the truth and appeal to racists. But it's interesting.
