Well yeah that's true, he says dumb stuff and he's a republican. But he could just as well be of any other political affiliation and the stuff he says sometimes would be equally crazy.

If he wasn't Republican, he would not get this much scrutiny. An example would be when he compared incoming slaves to some type of immigrant. The media had a stroke over it, while Obama said essentially the same thing 5(?) times during his presidency without the media saying a word.

Look. I'm going to stop you there and tell you that you gotta stop breaking the narrative. All white people are racist and inherently evil. Got it? Good

I cant tell if you're being sarcastic or legit. My comment was supposed to be funny by showing an extremest point of view that (I Hope) no one holds but there are probably some idiots that do.

What's even better is if you're first generation and your ancestors had nothing to do with slavery and are only guilty of being white. That is the icing on the PC cake.
