Trump calls black children natural born killers

It saddens me and angers me that anyone in such a position of power can get away with pedalling such divisive and untrue statements. And yes Iam64 if we bury our heads in the sand about what’s happening “over there” it is at our peril. Awful hate speech and discrimination is lurking just around d the corner in this country too, is this really the world we want our grandchildren to be growing up into?

I wonder how black people who voted for him feel now.

Probably that Trump has been misquoted or is fake news. Is amazing how people can be in denial about something.

If he's challenged he'll probably claim it's fake or misquoted. Quite unbelievable.

If this is any indication of how much bead space we should give him.

He is serious. He will do it. And yes, I can imagine this is what 1930s Germany felt like. He is creating a military state.

The other reason we should give this head space is because he just let slip who his next target is.

He first targeted those with brown skin. Then transgender people. Next, blacks?

He makes up reasons why these people are dangerous, his base believes them and the next thing you know, someone is in chains on a plane to a random country in Africa.

The last thing we should do is ignore what he says. Especially since there are for profit prisons to fill for his cronie friends.

Help me understand why this isn’t worthy of head space

I agree, if was just a ridiculous celeb says it why give it headspace indeed, but we are talking about the president of the United States.

Why not? This is the most powerful leader of the world talking dangerous crap - as always.

Why are we even giving this any headspace?

Babs03 I fear you may be right. I find it all very disturbing.

A friend who shared a cruise with many American guess reported how careful they were about any criticisms of Trump. They said it feels like the 1930’s where neighbours might report others for anti Trump feelings

Trump has no filter, he opens his mouth and outrageous crap comes out. The scary thing is, no-one has the guts to stop him, his sycophants stand around like tailors dummies, worried that disagreeing with him will end with them being out on their ears.
I feel real despair for decent minded people in the US what on earth is happening over there?
Are we still hearing updates from I'm around by the way?

Thank you Norah,

Am not surprised in the least, we seem to be living in an era when prejudices and hatred are becoming political currency.
Dark roads that lead to darker times ahead I’m afraid.
