Very simplistic but people who are strict adherents to the Golden Rule are generally good people.
"Why are people so mean?"
People are born selfish and ignorant.
If you are raised by bad parents or one parent or no parents you never unlearn this behavior.
If you have multiple generations of selfish ignorant people crapping out kids you end up with the feral sort of morons running around in gangland all over America.
The same amount of evidence that Barack is a racist.
Barry didn't even meet a black person until he got to college....
Obama took the black guy's in every story that made news and he did it without having any idea what the facts were.
Not true. He had black friends in Hawaii. Not at school but there were black families at the local military bases that he knew and hung out with.
Steve Bannon is literally the biggest promoter of the alt right and uses racist dog whistles to rile up his white nationalist supporters. I understand that his goal is to reduce the power of the state, which is something you believe in. However, he is using racial tensions just as much if not more than the democrats to promote his agenda. I think it’s a little dishonest to write that off.

You obviously missed the point of that quote.
Unless you mean Fred was selfish and ignorant, and that's why we ended up with Donald, Junior, Ivanka and Eric...
A few non-Trumper skinny runners joking about the "threat" of Trumpers in pickup trucks in rural red American DOES NOT EQUAL the R party making "Precious white people, be VERY afraid of dangerous cities you never go to, and please vote accordingly" a plank of their political platform.
Got it?
And while I'm at it: No law enforcement official has to "desperately go looking" for crimes to prosecute Trump or the Trumpers. Did you see the video of 6 Jan? Of course you did. Have you ever heard Trump speak or tweet? "Just find me ~12K votes, GA." Of course you have.
$2 billion in damages. Thousands of businesses looted, torched or otherwise vandalized. For some reason I find buildings burning in neighborhoods and innocent businesses burning to the ground to be far more of a threat to everyday people than a protest at a government building gone awry.
Of course, you lose all credibility when you downplay an attempt to overturn a presidential election as a mere protest at a building. Just utterly transparent lameness on your part.
About the protests and other urban affairs, there's obviously tons to say, but I'll leave at this, for now: The Rs who have convinced the mouth breathers to be faux-incensed about urban crime don't really give two craps about urban crime. They want your vote, and they're getting it. Do Ds care a bit too little about curbing crime? Perhaps. Perhaps a little too lenient on criminals? Perhaps.
But guess who isn't the solution? Any Trumper R politician. You know, the very people making the argument to be scared and concerned about it. Trump improved no urban problems, and never in a million years would he. Because he neither cares about them, nor needs to care about them to get votes.

The people you voted for weaponized the FBI and other tools of government to try and prevent the election from going against them in the first place.
200 morons with flags is MUCH MUCH less worrisome than the methods people like YOU used.

Well other than gary you are one of the worst posters on the internet so your children must be a trainwreck.
What evidence do you have that Steve Bannon is racist?
Democrats have a solution for everything. It just so happens that every solution they have makes every problem worse.
Government is inherently corrupt. Any party that wants to make the government bigger can't be trusted.
Well he insinuated that black people were naturally aggressive and violent and he platforms and promotes racists. Maybe he's just doing it to serve a political agenda. One could argue that and I would listen to that argument. But promoting racism could also be seen as racist on it's own.
Hunter, I dare say you're trying a bit too hard to be fair and balanced, here. Let me clarify something:

That was a tongue in cheek comment because Barry was abandoned by his father and was raised by his rich white grandparents.
I don't see any evidence online that Bannon is racist beyond leftists agreeing with each other that he's racist. Bear in mind liberals have called EVERY SINGLE person they don't like racist for decades now. Even the uppity Uncle Toms like Ben Carson that don't know their place.
"Dog whistle" is left speak for "facts we don't like so we should call them RACIST".

Hunter, I dare say you're trying a bit too hard to be fair and balanced, here. Let me clarify something:
Promoting racism IS racist.
No debate.
True. I do think the words racist and racism are inadequate. There’s a lot of different types both big and small, and having one word that everyone associats with “evil” isn’t the best way to go. Adult’s definition seems to be based mostly on internal prejudice, which is essentially impossible to prove.

Some day your leftist dream of being able to prosecute thought crime will come true.
Until then, actions are what matter.
The leftist definition of "RACISM" is any form of disagreement with their beliefs. This is why morons on MSNBC say stupid things like calling Larry Elder the "black face of white supremacy"....
The left's entire platform is that the "system" is racist. If you ask a leftist to point to a law or policy that's actually racist they can't do it.
Behavior has consequences. Humans have known this was true since the beginning.
The modern left rejects this notion and believes that ANY negative circumstance in anyone's life is because of some external cause. Unless you're white of course then you just deserve it.
The only people more racist than modern Democrats were the old Democrats of segregation, Jim Crow, and slavery.

Two things that I think are true:
1) Liberals have used the words far, far too freely my whole life. Way too many thoughtful, decent non-minorities have been called these things for reasonably - and indeed often quite mildly - disagreeing on social policy and in discussing social dynamics.
2) Obama's term and the subsequent Trump era proved that there is more racism in American society than I thought was present. That still doesn't forgive labeling someone as racist simply because they disagree to some extent on, say, affirmative action - which obviously continues to this day on the left. But they WERE right that there is still tons of regular ole' red-blooded racism running through red America.

But hey, not to EVER be outdone on idiocy, last week Donald decided to call the NY AG "racist" for deciding that his fat white as* was financially scummy.
