I don't care what you guys might think, I love the hell out of Michael Cohen. He's SO freaking East Coast.

Yeah, I love this guy.

All that means is that if I find out someone voted for Trump, I won't deal with them. It's a trust issue.
What exactly does that mean? The US being a systemically racist country didn't seem to turn you off in your efforts to immigrate here.
And when the Confederates saw Jackson standing fearless like a stonewall, the army of Northern Virginia took courage and drove the federal army off their land.

Again, you don't know what systemic racism is. How stupid can you be?

We always despised racists, its just that now it is more obvious who they are.

This kind of sentiment is also sometimes expressed by telling people 'If you don't like it here, you can leave'.

The thinking (if we may call it that) behind such statements is bizarre. A patriotic citizen of any country is often keenly aware of the things about their country that need to be changed - like women needing to get the vote, ending slavery, giving city dwellers pure water to drink, and ending child factory labour. The fact that the US has had so many active reforming patriots who have worked for such changes in the past is precisely why it is a great country today. And people who see racism as a terrible blemish on the country they love feel impelled, in their turn, to do something to make things better in future.

How can a true patriot not wish to make their country a better place for all its citizens? And how can any patriot want to pretend that everything is already so perfect that there is no more that needs to be done?

How does the systemic abuse and neglect of the American people sit with you? You feeling good about that?

You don't know what "I won't deal with them" means? Do you understand Dick and Jane stories?

Jesus. This is the kind of thing that makes it impossible to take you seriously.

You say this as though I could have predicted everything that's happened in the last 4 years 25 years ago. I really wasn't aware of the depth of American racism before I came here. I confess.

Why do you suppose I'm so shocked by Trump's support?
Religion is for people whose existential fear is greater than their common sense.

The god idea is popular with desperate people.

Neither did it stop your own relatives from doing the same. What’s your point?

Or perhaps America isn't as bad a place for nonwhites as the left purports it to be?

I wasn't aware we ever claimed to be mnorities worthy of special favors.

White people like Rachel Dolezal pretend to be black. Black people don't pretend to be white. Whites claim Native American ancestry when they don't have it like Elizabeth Warren. Who is really privileged in the USA? What privileges are these imposters seeking?
