So paint a picture for me on how you imagine the driver of the car "starting it", and the response being a justified reaction.

Also, it should be noted that Illinois' 16 Electoral Votes went to Hillary, 55% to 39%. So even if the driver of the car did vote for Trump, it didn't contribute to his Electoral Victory.

The narrative on this election is getting away from Trump and his supporters, and if they were smart, they would do something to take it back. If I were the Trump campaign, I would co-opt the "Mormon Helping Hands" idea and organize Trump supporters to do community service projects all over the country, wearing bright red shirts that say "Making America Greater" or something like that. Find projects that benefit the communities that are being hurt, or somehow counter-act the small but vocal presence of racists that are getting all the airtime.

This is the first time I've seen a person actually link to Brietbart or infowars. Wow.

LOL, the presence of racism in this country is not small. It was built on white supremacy. And plenty of white folk that I know, are tired of it.

I'm not just tired of it. I'm repulsed by it.

This is a great idea. It would shock the hell out of me if he did it, but it's a great idea nonetheless.

I'm just plain done. And I'm tired of the apathy by so many. Tired of people telling me not to play "the race card." Who dealt this card? Not black people.

Does that mean this video is a hoax and didn't happen? Or is it just a case where, "Some truths aren't so useful," like Elder Packer used to preach.
“There were mothers who took this [Rodney King LA riots] as an opportunity to take some milk, to take some bread, to take some shoes ... They are not crooks.”

This liberal would be about socializing … uh, umm. … Would be about, basically, taking over, and the government running all of your companies.

There's two possible things that happened here. One is that an unrelated fight broke out over some traffic-related problem. While the victim was being assaulted, people noticed he was a Trump supporter and started incidentally taunting him for that. That would mean he wasn't attacked for being a Trump supporter, but rather that became something that fueled the atmosphere after the fact.

You know how sometimes fights break out and racial slurs get used, not because the fight was started for racial reasons, but because people are just saying the worst things they can think of in the heat of the moment? And you know how sometimes people who used those slurs get charged with a hate crime anyway? Seems unfair, right? Something like that could be occurring here.

Or, maybe, they attacked the dude because of his politics.

We really don't know. The sources you are relying on are garbage propaganda favored by white supremacist types, so we can't rely on them to accurately present context to draw conclusions. We can say that whatever happened, the victim didn't deserve that and no one here finds it Ok to assault somebody because of their voting preference.

The problem with your posting is you always focus on incidents of black on white crime specifically to paint a misleading picture about race in America.

Yup. I'm tired of racism all right. And I don't mean other people's racism, but my own.

I was brought up in an environment that was, shall we say, racist without realizing it (there weren't any black people around for them to be racist at!). When the reflexes that were built into me as a child try to kick in, I say to myself 'Look Chap. That young guy walking towards you on the street didn't wake up this morning and say "I know!! Today I'll be tall and young and black, and that will make Chap feel insecure!!! YAY!!!!" '. Works quite well, I find.

But I am tired of those reflexes popping up the way they do. I wish that my upbringing had not given them to me. Fortunately they are not triggered by anyone aged 0-13 or 30-dead, or female, or with whom I have exchanged a smile, and they have got weaker and weaker over the years.
