There is no hostility. The Muslim ban was Obama's idea, but when Trump does it, only then is it racist. When Jimmy Carter did it, no accusations of racism, when Trump does it, he's a nazi.

Actually you can thank lefties for wisely spotlighting Islamophobia and causing borderline racists who might subscribe to the crazy Islamophobes to think twice about committing hate crimes - or running around shrieking with their arms in the air like ignoble (self aggrandizing) sphincters, many of whom will probably spend the rest of their miserable and hopefully short lives crying, wringing their hands and making hateful accusations here.

America is a place, not a race. Nationality and race are two different things. Some people have no idea what racism is, and just use it as a catch all term for opinions they are triggered by.

Mr. Boges, as a canuck, are pathetic insults really the only thing that canada can offer?

Trump was given awards for de-segregation, his overall record on the matter is pretty good, pointing to a small settlement as proof of racism is silly. Islam is religion not a race and the "Muslim ban" was about banning people from problem countries identified by the Obama administration, it was not a ban on all Muslims or a ban on only Muslims from those problem nations. Puerto Rico is a place, not a race. He was not referring to all Puerto Ricans either, just their incompetent government trying to blame the federal government for all the problems. He called some illegal immigrants coming from Mexico rapists, which is true, he did not refer to all Mexicans as rapists, or all illegal immigrants as rapists either. Those innocent black teens confessed to a crime, back when Trump called for the Death Penalty for them, almost everyone thought they were guilty, and being pro-death penalty isn't racist. Once it became clear that they were innocent, Trump changed his tune accordingly, he didn't want the death penalty for them because he was racist against blacks, that's nonsensical Trump hater spin. You have no evidence of Trump's racism whatsoever, you just cherry pick and spin stories that make Trump haters think he's racist because they never look into anything and are confirmation biased against Trump, so believe any story that paints him a negative light.

You could just say "white". That way, no confusion about exactly what you mean.

So a billion plus Caucasians living on the Indian sub-continent are not the predominant race? I would advise you to contact your geography teacher and request a refund on your tuition. The people of India and Pakistan, most of the middle east, and Europe are Caucasian.

Here's the thing..... I've got nothing against electing women and ethnic people - but aren't you guys doing a great disservice to WOMEN AND VISIBLE MINORITIES when of all multitudes to choose from in the USA - all you can come up with are these 4 morons?

You are not a troll a for stating facts. You are a troll for insulting the intelligence of the moderator who deserves people defending him for protecting the integrity of this board from spambots. I appreciate his vigilance and you are wasting his time. Changing your name will not change a damn thing. https://www.dw.com/en/the-rise-of-political-bots-on-social-media/a-19450562 http://www.digitaljournal.com/internet/op-ed-your-online-political-heroes-are-bots-not-people/article/506645

Really Rue? Do you remember the list of promises that he made before he was elected and how many of those things he has already done? Whether he's just a figurehead or he has actual power, the things that he told the American people he would do are getting done somehow. I don't doubt that there are people behind the scenes, whose names we don't know, who have far more power than they should, but Trump's agenda is moving fwd.

Yes, but it was staffed by extreme leftists like you, who had already written the report before they started.

Canada's Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC, now disbanded) concluded "cultural genocide" against Indigenous Peoples. The TRC was convened as part of the court-ordered settlement, because of a successful class action lawsuit by survivors of Canada's 'Indian' Residential Schools, Canada's TRC was overseen by the UN International Centre for Transitional Justice (ICTJ), a mediation body, an alternative to the International Criminal Courts (ICC) that try crimes against humanity, war crimes, and genocide, once domestic justice is exhausted. So yes, there is that route ... through our courts to Supreme Court of Canada (SCC) and then the ICC. But ... when all that is said and done ... it would result in a court order for the government to negotiate solutions with Indigenous Peoples. And when all that is said and done ... we are all still going to be here no matter what. We could perhaps try to reopen the ICTJ connection/supervision, to oversee the implementation of the Recommendations of both the Truth and Reconciliation Commission and the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women Inquiry (now disbanded). I really don't think there's any public accountability built in to either for implementation of the Recommendations.

$700 million? Please itemize the individual amounts in that total. A Haudenosaunee billionaire cigarette maker contributes how much of his income towards his community? Oh right, he doesn’t pay taxes.

No point in trying to get involved while the "Progressives" are ascendant, better to simply lie in wait and feed them rope to hangs themselves with. When the pendulum swings, the "Progressives" will become the hunted, then the Counter Terrorism Act will be invoked promiscuously against them.
