And yet Trump would play them so much more. Seems a bit self loathing since Trump's Pa is a dyed in the wool bigot, so much so even Woody Guthrie wrote a poem about how loathsome Old Man Trump was. If I was black I would be dead set against a Trump presidency. Same if I were any ethnicity other than WASP.


I know it's not what you meant, but I think this suggests that WASPs are intrinsically OK with seeing racism and bigotry aimed at others. Only racist bigot WASPs would countenance the vile sentiments coming from Trump. There are plenty of WASPs who find Trump's attitudes to be thoroughly deplorable.

Half my ancestors are white anglo protestants, the others are Catholics and I don't support a Trump presidency and my intention was not to imply all whites support Trump .
I can't help but notice, most those attending Trump's rallies look like what everyone says are white Anglo protestants even though religion is difficult to discern over the air waves or through a fibre optic cable, so this leads me to assume blacks and Hispanics are not his most ardent supporters. I don't blame them. They should not be fooled by him.


TRUMP on Track to Win More Black Votes Than Any GOP Candidate Since 1960. http://tiny.iavian.net/d54m

The opposite should be the case. Obama has done more damage to the black community than any president since Lyndon Johnson (whose comments about black people are not fit to print here). Hillary will continue his disastrous policies of generational poverty and dependence.

And why on earth would Hispanic immigrants vote for Hillary, who represents the very kind of government system they fled from: oligarchic-crony-socialist-corruption. I posted this good video on another thread, so I'll just give a link here instead of embedding it: "Immigrants! Don't Vote for What You Fled":
