Lawrence: Person Calling Themselves The Least Racist Person In The Room Is Usually The Most Racist

62 comments

    1. Because its always about Trump projecting this unrealistic version of himself and sensible people see right through it. He is a very insecure man. The smartest person in the room never claims to be the smartest person in the room.

    2. I hate Trump, however, whether you are โ€œracistโ€ or not is determined by others.
      If a black person thinks you are racist. You are racist to HIM. Not necessarily to all blacks, but you canโ€™t control how others see you. You can try to act non racist, but people may see you as a racist.
      When I told my friend that I wanted to go to KFC since I hadnโ€™t had them for a while, he called me racist. To him I am.

  1. notice how trump always says “im the least racist person” instead of “im not racist”
    so even he’s admitting that yep, he’s kinda racist

    1. Sarah B youโ€™re probably racist, based on what you said. Many whites that say theyโ€™re not racist actually are, they just donโ€™t realize it. They usually focus on it and express it outward. This is why white โ€œliberalsโ€ that say they arenโ€™t racist attack black people that donโ€™t agree with them – itโ€™s subconscious White Supremacy. Makes them mad that a black person isnโ€™t doing what they want.
      Look it up. Your pic looks like the type of person in these videos that attack black conservatives. They freak out when they see a black conservative and attack them.
      I can send some links so you can see if you might exhibit this behavior. If you are subconsciously racist I will be happy to assist you here in the comment section. Racism must be stopped – especially if the racist person is pretending to be โ€œliberalโ€.

  2. Trump wanted the Central Park 5 dead when they were all innocent and
    Charlottesville “Fine people on both sides”. He supports the Proud Boys.
    He’s a racist and the same goes for most of his cult. Truth hurts right?

    1. @Drake Fire
      Lmao, now your in denial because I showed you proof. Sorry you listen to fake news. You only watch fake news because it helps you fit your narrative about trump.

    2. Doesnt he go to multiple places in a day Logan… why doesn’t he say it again.. at another rally. Weve heard his racist rants.. too

    3. @nordo7600
      At a certain point, it gets annoying. Like he condemned it multiple times. Itโ€™s mostly white people that call him racist anyways

    1. @Joe Sniffs Kids And your point? Still DOESN’T COMPARE to trump racist retweet!!! And all the OTHER RACIST REMARKS trump has made.

    2. @Joe Sniffs Kids …remember when Trump called silent kneeling black athletes SOBs? Remember when he referred to marching Neo Nazi Groups in Charlottesville, VA as very fine people. Remember when Trump kept tweeting out and circulating KKK and White Supremacist social media propaganda in during the 2016 campaign.

    1. wandering spirit is a clumsy liar. I did some fact checks and Biden never called blacks super predators. That term was actually used by Hilary Clinton in 1994. The only media sources making that claim about Biden are the far right ones that have done such a “fine” job of using blatant lies to brainwash Trump cult victims such as wandering spirit.

  3. Biden hit a home run! He held his own. He actually answered the questions, unlike trump. He was gracious and classy. He could have EASILY said things about the corruption of trump’s kids that is verified TRUE ( Eric was just interviewed in an indictment in NY) Biden’s family is honest and he doesn’t even own any stock so as a Senator and VP he had no conflicts of interest. He never had any money until he left office and wrote two best selling books. Read his books and his wife Jill’s books. well written and you learn a lot of history. They both are really good writers and I enjoyed learning more about them. I didn’t have cable the years Biden was VP so I didn’t have a clue that Obama had put Biden in charge of so many foreign affairs, policies and recovery and ACA. I have a lot of respect for his leadership abilities and bridge making abilities. I think he may even be able to bring our country back together! We need a kind, compassionate leader now and Joe is it!

    1. Well ,since when had republicans win fairly,even if trump wins ,is about race for white voters mostly ,but even if you are blind and listen to this debate ,Biden is qualified to be the president but how do you deal with folks like trump supporters who are less educated,hate science,believe in conspiracy theories,often in things that ever happen or exist,is like they never progressed or evolved ,and then ,Russians using the Iranian to hurt zbiden ,is there anything off limit for trump people ,they are destryingvthis country slowly and don’t care as long as their selfishness is fulfilled.

    2. Biden is a normal, sane and decent person who has a proven track record as VP in service to the American people. Trump is a malignant narcissist and callous sociopath, who has been repeatedly fined for financial crimes, who regularly stiffs contractors, who has been through multiple bankruptcies, who was refused a casino licence in Australia because of his mob connections, who is a pathological liar who regularly accused others of his own crimes, who is responsible for the botched covid response that has killed over 220,000 Americans, who heads the most blatantly corrupt administration in American history, and much more. Really, there is simply no comparison between these two men.

    1. Does he even know he is saying that he is racist? Is he that stupid he doesn’t even notice? Or does he not care at this point?

  4. Much like t’rump saying he’s the smartest person he knows, really means he thought injecting bleach was a good cure for the corona.

    Hmm, wait a second….๐Ÿค”๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜‚

    1. Trump is still using them. Regardless Trump’s policy was intended for it’s cruelty, and 545 children separated from their parents may never be reunited. The incompetence in the system was known when less than half those children were “misplaced” and the system was neither corrected, nor stopped. After this election is over I hope the international criminal court files charges against Trump, Nelson, Miller and Sessions, and the Biden administration turns them over. This was a level of cruelty that should NEVER have been associated with the United States.

    2. @wandering spirit why do Trump and Republicans want to harvest foreign children? I think that’s the question we need to be asking.

    3. @Tony Bloomfield maybe you don’t know that he used them to separate kids from their parents. Obama built them but they used them differently

  5. BIDEN HARRIS 2020๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐ŸŒŠ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ

  6. Btw, watch Anderson Cooperโ€™s analysis. Rick Santorum said โ€œthe president has been working hard to reduce the number of people on healthcareโ€

    Let that sink in

  7. Trump asked Biden didn’t do it during his 8 years as VP, Biden implied, Mitch McConnell was there !! I love that !

  8. When Mr. “very stable genius” will be out of office, not just the US will celebrate, but the whole world โ—โ—โ—โ—โ—

  9. Yep, just like when someone insists that they are a ‘very stable genius’ or a ‘business genius’ they usually are not.
