Yeah that was incredibly dumb. Stop and frisk specifically targeted minorities in NY, and grew so unpopular the feds came in to investigate. Why he would think that is a solution is baffling.

Did you see the room he was giving that opinion to? For a talk on African American issues, it was extremely... white.

 
:lol: and yet at the same time :wenger: and :eek: and :(

In an interview with The Guardian Wednesday, the Donald Trump campaign’s chairwoman in the crucial Ohio Mahoning County said that she never saw any racism in America from the time she was a teenager in the 1960’s until the election of Barack Obama.

“I don’t think there was any racism until Obama got elected. We never had problems like this,” Kathy Miller told The Guardian.

“If you’re black and you haven’t been successful in the last 50 years, it’s your own fault,” Miller continued. You’ve had every opportunity, it was given to you,” she said. “You’ve had the same schools everybody else went to. You had benefits to go to college that white kids didn’t have. You had all the advantages and didn’t take advantage of it. It’s not our fault, certainly.”

When asked whether some would find her comments offensive, Miller responded simply, “I don’t care, it’s the truth.”

In other news... Both candidates budget plans will increase national debt according to a non-partisan group. Hillary's plan will push it to 86% of GDP, Trump's plan to 105% of GDP. Current level is 77% of GDP. Trump's plan apparently includes a $2.85 trillion loss in taxes from businesses compared to current situation.

It's pretty much a forgone conclusion that the debt will go up irrespective of who is President - and that includes everyone from Sanders to Johnson to Cruz to Kasich. Every politician promises the public things that cost a lot of money. If it's the Dems it social services, if it's the GOP it's military spending etc.
 
For, er, balance, Rasmussen has Trump up 5 nationally today...

I expect this story to have no leverage whatsoever with his supporters as usual, but...
http://www.politico.com/story/2016/09/donald-trump-business-campaign-trail-228500
Donald Trump’s presidential campaign has paid his family's businesses more than $8.2 million, according to a POLITICO analysis of campaign finance filings, which reveals an integrated business and political operation without precedent in national politics.

The GOP presidential nominee’s campaign has paid his various businesses for services including rent for his campaign offices ($1.3 million), food and facilities for events and meetings ($544,000) and payroll for Trump corporate staffers ($333,000) who helped with everything from his traveling security to his wife’s convention speech.

In all, the Trump campaign’s payments to Trump-owned businesses account for about 7 percent of its $119 million spending total, the analysis found.

That’s an unprecedented amount of self-dealing in federal politics. Even the wealthiest of candidates have refrained from tapping their businesses’ resources to such an extensive degree, either because their businesses are structured in a manner that doesn’t legally allow them to do it with flexibility, or because they’re leery of the allegations of pocket-padding that inevitably arise when politicians use their campaigns or committees to pay their businesses or families.

Hillary has a 48 point lead with Hispanics :D
http://www.wsj.com/articles/hillary...-donald-trump-with-hispanic-voters-1474538405
The survey of Hispanic voters shows that Mrs. Clinton has strong backing from an important part of the Democratic coalition at a time when she is struggling to retain support from young voters and questions are arising about her ability to duplicate President Barack Obama’s overwhelming margins among African-American voters.

In a race that includes two third-party candidates, Mrs. Clinton wins 65% support among Hispanic likely voters, compared with Mr. Trump’s 17%—a 48-point advantage. The survey included a larger sample of Hispanic voters than in most Journal/NBC News polls—some 300 respondents—to better understand the group’s opinions.


That means she has a bigger lead with this group than President Barack Obama enjoyed in 2012, when he beat Republican Mitt Romney by 44 points among Hispanic voters. It was that drubbing that persuaded some Republican leaders that their party needed to do more to reach out to Hispanic voters. Some counseled embracing “comprehensive immigration reform,” an important issue to many Hispanics.

Great example of media trying to trump up ( pardon the pun) the story. I saw a CNN clip where a woman was outraged about the way the white guys laughed as well. If you actually look at the clip though you'll see it's nothing to do with race. There a black guy filming with his phone who stomps his feet he finds it so funny. The humorous part is don king saying stupid crazy shit in a church dressed like he just came from an alien gay pride parade.

This is the CE forum not the general so try to make a better point next time. Yes, i am for real.


You'll see people laughing pretty much his entire speech. The bit in question starts at about 13 minutes in.

Eh no thanks, I've watched that one, I'll have the video you're talking about where that woman makes the disaster face in relation to someone stomping beside her rather than Don King's choice of words, please. She's not in the shot of this video. She's clearly cringing at what he's said. And less of the disparaging comments please.

I'm having a hard time deciphering that sentence. Could you clarify it for me please. You posted the initial clip comparing the reactions of two people. I'm assuming your point was connected to race. My contention is this particular instance had nothing to do with race at all. It was just a bunch of people laughing at a crazy guy saying inappropriate outrageous shit. I used the word clip twice referring to two seperate clips. One of King's actual speech and one i said i saw from CNN This is the clip i'm talking about.
