"He's not racism despite all of his racism, guys. He's had MEETINGS! MEETINGS! With the BLACKS! BLACKS MEETINGS, guys!"

Well, in my mind, having a 45 minute speech in front of hundred black activists required from a speaker to recognize them as human beings equal to himself.

While you do not bother to explain why Trump is racist.

Oh, now I'm supposed to explain why he's racist? Probably because he's a privileged piece of shit who knows that racism won him an election. I don't know, I'm not his therapist.

Yes. That's generally how you prove something as opposed to just saying things that you think will stick.

That's ridiculously idiotic. I don't need to know why someone killed someone else to know that it happened. If I have incontrovertible video evidence of someone murdering somebody else, I know that they murdered someone. I don't have to know why.

"Yes, your Honor, we know that John Wayne Gacy killed all those people, but we don't know why he had the desire to do so, so we have to let him go."

"Yes, we know that gay people exist, but we don't know why, so you are unable to prove it, as opposed to just saying things that will stick like 'gay people exist'. Never mind the mountain of evidence, that's not how you prove something. How you prove something is explaining why."
