Few people know that Martin Luther King Jr. also said
"Keep those brown people the fuck out."
As part of his famous "Build a wall" speech.

It's alright, because it's all white.
On the topic of discussions and MLK Jr., I'm also a fan of this quote of his:
I'm not dying on a hill for anyone on GAF. 😂 I'm just stating why ConservativeGAF has said they don't participate in political threads.
2 words "White Flight"

Hope it gets him removed, the fact he is even in the white house is appalling enough.

You know what, I'll give you THIS:
- We liberals and progressives CANNOT make the mistake of lumping ALL Trump supporters/voters as exactly the same as the deplorable ones.
HOWEVER, there HAS to be big, violent pushback against the deplorables specifically, or the deplorables will just walk all over everyone else.
Deplorables are the political equivalent of a High School Bully. Reasoning with a High School Bully only EMBOLDENS them to be assholes even more. Bullies don't stop until they face legal or physical repercussions.

Doesn't read OPs, especially not his own
Wait is mobile gaf bugging out? The title on the off topic and on the actual thread are completely different
I believe there was a merge.

That makes sense
Well most of these threads end up like this, a MLK quote is usually a signal that topic entirely derailed into a meaningless distraction about whether or not there is a difference between people being white supremacists or just aligning themselves and supporting white supremacists.
Thanks, left a message. Their voice-mail isn't full yet.

So apt, it's crazy how stuff like this is still relevant decades after smh.Screw the discussion. People have fought for this country to be where it's at. There's only so much discussion you can do with people of evil thoughts and intentions.
I'm stealing this from the other topic about what MLK Jr said and you're seeing it here.
I remember the thoughtful debate Republicans were reaching out to Democrats to have when Colin Kaepernick took a knee. I could hardly turn on Fox News without hearing a measured discussions about which solution best solves the proven discrimination and inequality black people face in their life through no fault of their own.On the topic of discussions and MLK Jr., I'm also a fan of this quote of his:

I've said this elsewhere but it should be clear that the Trump administration is the biggest threat to American safety, rights and liberties I think we've seen in the last 50 years. We're not even a month in and they aren't pulling any punches.
Question for someone more knowledgeable about politics than an ignoramus like me (only started really looking into this stuff shortly before the election)...why is there no pushback from the CIA/government overall to prevent, y'know, a white racist presidential administration from having power? How is it not impeachable? What is the hold up? Temperaments of dictators, actions that are unconstitutional, perception of us by the rest of the world, etc.

Because he was really fucking clear about his ideology and we voted him in office. That's how this works.
Don't you dare disrespect Ganondorf's name by connecting him to this POS Bannon.
I think the biggest thing that is stopping the push back is that most people in power either actually agree with him, or are more worried about losing their own position should he retaliate.
If Trump makes a grab for an autocracy/oligarchy/monarchy/totalitarian government, anyone that opposed him is going to be executed. People in law enforcement and even the FBI agree with Trump. They WANT to see him start a regime where things like rule of law, checks and balances and the judiciary are simplified to "Power gets to do whatever it wants."
There may be elements within every government agency that oppose what Trump is doing, but in order to get rid of him "the right way," permanently, they have to go by the book, investigate, produce evidence and push forward for a legal impeachment. That takes time, otherwise the only other recourse is a counter-coup.
Just called and left a message.

Why are MLK quotes floating around this thread? A White supremacist murdered him and they're going to murder or harm many others as a result of this policy.

So in light of the last white supremacist extremist attack, we have people who were at the Charlottesville rally retweeting stuff like:
Along with many more people in the thread showing their joy that she'd been killed.
Billy Roper was one of the people identified by @yesyoureracist as a torch carrying participant of the Nazi March in Charlottesville.
When a terrorist attack happens, the story is always followed by the authorities attempting to get info on people they may have planned the attack with. People in their circle get arrested. Here, we have a Nazi who was in attendance, praising terrorism towards Americans. That alone would have been a news story if it were an Isis attack. Yet it's just another day in America.
I think Trump's decision to no longer class Nazis and the KKK as extremists and no longer want to put resources into tackling those groups has shown how dangerous a decision that is.
Even though other politicians have been straight forward with their words, the fact remains that the President won't even say a bad word about Nazis marching and committing acts of terror in American streets. He doesn't even want these groups investigated or monitored as they use all of social medias free platforms to radicalize Americans.
Why isn't the President of the United States of America being afraid to denounce Nazis and the KKK a much bigger thing to more Americans?
How is this a thing?
How does a human being holding a sign saying "love/unity/etc" being mowed down in the street, solicit praise and joy from other humans of the same country? The same race even? You cant even put it down to racism. Just political differences?
How can the President blatantly, yet quietly supporter of those groups and America as a while decide that it's just part of who their leader is?
It's really hard for me to get my head around just how deeply troubled the US is.

Thanks for sharing this site. Great work naming and shaming. Hopefully these human cockroaches get stomped out.
