Yesterday I was on Instagram looking at some conservative posts, when I saw one from trump_media_outlet. It was a cartoon of what looked like a control panel with several buttons on it. The buttons said things like evidence, truth, hard data, test, facts and other things like that. There was a large red one in the middle that had a finger pressing down on it that read, "call him a racist." This was aimed at folks that have no argument other than that. The dreaded "R" word. You know the one I mean, the one that has lost all it's meaning over the last seven years.
Now here's what I don't get. Donald Trump has called for the closure of our borders to Muslims while the world is suffering another round of terrorist bombs going off. So how does that mean he racists against folks here? He wants to keep out potential problems to make YOU safer. I haven't heard him call for the mass deportation of Muslims. Unless, of course, they happen to be here illegally. But with what is happening in the Middle East and Europe right now, he may have a point.
There were only two comment to this post, even though there were 139 "likes". One was for the post and the other was obviously against it. The one against was a two word response, "f--k you." Proving the point that when you have no argument, you revert to this type of behavior. Didn't this person realize this? Obviously not.
I wont mention this person's online name, that would be indiscrete. But I did look at his page. A bunch of hip hop guys, I think. I did recognize Snoop, maybe Lil Wayne, not the others. Not my taste in music. But in his bio it did mention something about kush. Even as an old man I know that to be a euphemism for marijuana. So now the Snoop Dog pic makes a bit more sense. As well as his response. I think the author of that statement may have gone one toke over the line.
So if this young man wants to explain his position on why he thinks The Donald is a racist, I'm willing to listen. After all, this is America and this person has a right to his opinion. I want him to, because I want to have mine.
And as Confucius is reported to have once said, "It is better to be thought a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt."
