(Uproxx) Ironic Donald Trump says Jon Stewart is a racist for making fun of Herman Cain. Bulldozing housing for poor black families to make way for gaudy glass towers, however, is not racist at all   (uproxx.com) divider line 251

It's not often you hear right-wingers complain of being treated unfairly

This is what happens when you throw around the word "racist" liberally.

It loses its meaning.

Its not racist to make fun of Cain, its not racist to disagree with Obama.

I am sure that housing was segregated and only for the blacks.

The Tea Party will show the world that all those allegations about them being racist were false. They'll show you who's not racist. Because you're the real racist. Racist.

It's the substitution word because calling a jew a nazi may backfire on them.

It's not racist to compare Bush a monkey but it is racist to compare Obama to a monkey. Both are primates.

Wrong Subby. Trump is not racist for buldozing black people's housing. He'll bulldoze anyone's housing to make way for his butt ugly towers, regardless of race.

Someone's mad.

Trump is one of the world's premier douchebags and is in contention for the top spot among living non-violent douchebags, but whose housing did he bulldoze? Was there a group of poor black families living on Central Park West of whom I was previously unaware? Perhaps in Palm Beach or rural Scotland? Maybe a few of the drug-addled homeless living in the west side railyards were black, but I don't see them as family people. So where?

I hear the Chinese want to develop nuclear weapons - Herman Cain. Thread over.

I'd daresay it was the house-owners themselves that were racist against White People. Specifically, against Donalds. Seriously, what kind of mean assholes would throw up a bunch of houses where a humble Donald just wanted to build a community center, where all were welcome provided that they met certain financial criteria?

Sadly, that's true. Trump isn't prejudiced against black people, only the poor ones. He'd be just as happy to bulldoze over a bunch of poor white people's housing, except they don't live anywhere he'd actually want to build anything.

This.

If Donald Trump has to come to your rescue, then you are in the hurt locker.

This is only relevant if Cain has a chance at becoming the nominee. That chance is miniscule, remote, distant, inconceivable, improbable, farfetched, unlikely, implausible, and, unbelievable,

Has anyone used the anti-semite card yet, for Trump calling Stewart a racist, cause Stewart is a Jeeeeeeewwwww?

So OK, take race out of the equation. Who has he bulldozed? Seriously, all I know about is a bunch of people who got a huge premium paid on their second homes in Atlantic City back when it was a bigger cesspool than it is now (and one of them still lives there). Other than that his real estate money seems to have come from turning rich-guy real estate into richer-guy real estate. He's not doing what that Russian guy is doing in Brooklyn.

It's not a huge stretch to guess that a classless douchebag like Donald Trump would also be a racist, but it's certainly not a given.
 
2011-11-02 02:07:14 AM
I don't dislike and make fun of Herman Cain because he's black, or even a conservative. I do it because he's a condicending idiot that seemingly failed upward his entire life, will spout complete nonsense and more often than not will contradict his own statements and positions in the same sentence.

He is, by any standard, a joke of a candidate that never had any intention or hope of being the front runner, and only wanted the attention to promote his book. Now he's stuck playing this role of which he is far out of his intellectual depth to handle, and everyone knows that the Right's base will never vote a black man into office over another. In the next couple of weeks, they'll find someone else to be the standard bearer, likely going back to Romney, and Cain will be swept under the rug by the likes of Fox News so fast the dust will kick up everyone's allergies.

Get Lost: Has anyone used the anti-semite card yet, for Trump calling Stewart a racist, cause Stewart is a Jeeeeeeewwwww?

the usual SOP is for them to run into the thread and say something like "who is Jon Stewart? do you mean Jon Leibowitz????? why did he change his name? huh??? why is he trying to hide his Jewishness???"

I never understood what the point was, but they always act so proud of it.

I think its supposed to show off the shiftiness of those damn liberals, hiding who they really are. Or something.

I never truly understood it myself.

Subby, I'm no friend to Trump, but your headline is bad. Fact is, he might be bulldozing poor people's homes not because they're black, but because they're poor. Trump might not be racist - he might just be a colossal asshole.

Looking at Donald Trump, watching his fall from popularity, I am reminded of watching a particularly fascinating video. It involved a female midget, a largish woman, and two men. All three of the larger participants were dominating the poor midget. Inserting their fists into her orifices, sodomizing her, using her as their plaything. I felt sorry for the poor midget, even as I masturbated, and laughed. As I ejaculated, I couldn't help but consider how that poor little midget girl felt as these people, giants really, by comparison, treated her like a pack of pit bulls would treat a blind three legged cat. Did she enjoy the experience, or was it simply a matter of being paid? If the latter, what else would this midget do for money? If the former, what other forms of depravity does she enjoy? This last thought made my ejaculation particularly intense. Afterwards, I calmed my still excited body with a large swig of tequila, and took a nap.

That's what Donald Trump makes me think of.

Not necessarily exclusive positions, but I tend to agree here. Trump has a problem with poor people, or people with the morals and ethics to not rip off thousands of investors or exploit the Chapter 11 laws for their own advantage.

yeah I don't get it either. But in a way it's kind of funny to watch them think they're making some huge point.

Saying true things about a black man: not racist.

Saying false things about a black man: possibly.

When did Trump ever bulldoze anybody's house? As far as I can tell, every house he ever bulldozed was one that he bought from a seller who agreed to sell. They were his houses.
 
2011-11-02 02:42:59 AM
I "liked" Mr. Trump more when he was just an eccentric rich real estate developer with fake hair. He was digestible back then, anyway.

Now, not so much. He's pokin' his nose where it doesn't belong. He'll get his.

"Unlike most developers, Donald Trump doesn't have to negotiate with a private owner when he wants to buy a piece of property, because a governmental agency -- the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority or CRDA -- will get it for him at a fraction of the market value, even if the current owner refuses to sell.

But it is sort of racist to say he's not a citizen qualified to be President even after he's been forced to provide two different forms of his birth certificate.

Yes that is racist. Just saying that I don't like his policies do not. I am getting tired of being called racist without cause.

So, THE GOVERNMENT steals the peoples' houses. He's still not bulldozing other peoples' houses... he's buying from a seller (the government) who is willing to sell.

OK, let's. I think Trump is a douche because he's been a douche to me *personally.* He's a douche to his creditors, he's a douche to people who think he's their partners, he's a douche to his non-key employees, he's a douche to the general public unless a particular member of that public can do something for him now or, in his opinion, in the future.

Now how was I incorrect? I'm wholly unaware of how he's been a douche to poor black people or poor people generally. To my knowledge he has made his fortune (or if you don't believe he has a fortune, his lifestyle) almost entirely off of other rich guys.

Ridiculous attention whore is ridiculous.

About as ridiculous as this weird-assed game of racist gotcha the RW have been playing for a while now. From false absolutism of "All criticisms of Obama are brushed off as racism by you dumb libs" to this new meme where apparently any criticisms of Cain can be safely brushed off as racism by dumb libs.

Without even blinking an eye or missing a beat.

Impressive, in a pathological sort of way.
