Trump tells African-Americans....oh you just have to read it

[pepperbear]

"My message is that we have a great country, we have the greatest country on Earth. We have a heritage, we have a history and we should learn from the history, and if you don’t understand your history, you will go back to it again. You will go right back to it. You have to learn. Think of it, you take away that whole era and you’re going to go back to it sometime. People won’t know about it. They’re going to forget about it. It’s okay.

Now what I do like, I like the idea of building new statues to people, to great people. People that have done something. And I think that’s okay.

But you don’t want to take away our heritage and history and the beauty, in many cases, the beauty, the artistic beauty. Some of the sculptures and some of this work is some of the great — you can go to France, you can go anywhere in the world and you will never see more magnificent work. And that’s a factor. It’s not the biggest factor but it’s a factor."

1. Fuck right off, Donnyl

[OilemFirchen]

2. You can go to Germany...

and not see one statue of a Nazi Party member.

BTW:

But you don’t want to take away our heritage and history and the beauty, in many cases, the beauty, the artistic beauty.

That's fucking rich.

The Bonwit Teller Building: How Donald Trump Destroyed an Art Deco Treasure

[DBoon]

7. You can go to the former East Germany

and not see a single statue of Stalin either

History isn't about the past so much as it is about what you are and what you want to be. The facts are the same, the story is different depending on your aspirations.

[OilemFirchen]

11. And there's a difference between remembering historical horrors and reveling in them.

Obviously, Trump prefers the latter.

[bucolic_frolic]

35. What a fine building, and what a loss!

3. Profound.

[Solly Mack]

5. Blithering idiot. Stupid oaf. Dunderhead.

[Botany]

24. Official Frontier Gibberish

But if you go to France and look they have great beauty and this shows about going back to it and being aware of the past to know where you are going.

We are being run by the crazy man on the bench in the park.

6. ....

[Buckeye_Democrat]

8. A history lesson from President No-Read?

No thanks.

[ProfessorGAC]

48. Um, You Got The Name Wrong

It's not "no read".
It's" can't read"!

[SammyWinstonJack]

9. WTaF. Swimming pool Budweiser basic word salad bs. He knows nothing. Just strings a lot of words

together. Dazzle them with bullshit.

[Cracklin Charlie]

10. I think black folks absolutely understand their history.

Don the Con, not so much.

[SergeStorms]

37. Not so...

Little Don understands his history of entitlement and white supremacy very well. Father Fred taught him everything he wanted him to know about racism and white entitlement. Little Donnie was such a willing and apt student for those subjects.

[gratuitous]

12. So, there I was, living my life when suddenly . . .

Whamo! I found myself a slave on a southern plantation. How did this happen, I wondered? Then I remembered the sterling words of President Trump: I had not understood my history, and here I was, back in slavery. Damn. Why didn't I listen to Donald Trump? Whyyyyyyyy???

[Nevilledog]

16. *snort*

[ProfessorGAC]

49. +1 (nt)

[Goodheart]

13. Those are the words of an idiot

who thinks himself a genius.

Good lord, somebody make it stop.

[PSPS]

14. He has a point. Just who was this hitler fellow? I've found no statues of him. Did he really exist?

[crickets]

15. That's it. Note the time and call it. The few brain cells that are left can no longer

string together coherent thoughts. Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep. Done.

[Dem2theMax]

17. Can I rec your post 100 times?

[mwooldri]

18. I believe an unsophisticated computer AI could create a better speech. NT

[Throckmorton]

21. Eliza could create a more cogent speach.

Boy, am I dating myself, but for the record I never saw a living dinosaur.

[mwooldri]

28. And I thought I was dating myself...

... when thinking Donald Trump's speech must have been done by some bad BASIC script on a Commodore 64. I had to look up Eliza... The first chatbot eh?

[niyad]

19. Racist idiot in chief means statues and monuments to himself, the greatest, most handsomest

Genius EVAH!!

[Kaiserguy]

20. That's 30 seconds

of my life that was wasted reading Trumps mindless drivel

[flibbitygiblets]

22. So...if we don't keep hate monuments we'll have slavery and civil war again. Got it.

This from the guy who thinks BLM is hate speech and does everything in his power to provoke civil division.

[Kablooie]

23. He's saying that if you let history forget the greatness of the confederacy...

The US will start up slavery again.

A fine and well considered supposition, by cracky.

[paleotn]

25. Shut the hell up, Donnie....

Like Fredo....could someone please take him for a "boat ride"?

[Wounded Bear]

26. By "Great People" I suppose he means himself...

[smirkymonkey]

27. Can someone translate that for me?

I haven't received my bullshit decoder ring yet.

[GeorgeGist]

29. D-

[tclambert]

30. That was so logically and articulately stated that I cannot argue with him.

Seriously, WTF is he trying to say? If we tear down Confederate statues, slavery will return? The doofus cannot express a coherent thought.

[PatrickforO]

31. That didn't even make sense. Oh, the racism dripped right on through,

but the word salad? Not so much. And that's a factor...

[BamaRefugee]

32. SO black folks might revert to slavery without statues of slave owners to warn them off ????????????

[KY_EnviroGuy]

33. Someone please enlighten me here.....

Exactly what history story will I learn when on vacation and I go to a park and stop and stare at a statue for 30-seconds?

I've seen dozens of them and I must be stupid 'cause I didn't learn a damn thing......

Oh yes, there is the fact that pigeons shit on statues a lot......

[ProfessorGAC]

50. There's One Thing We Can Learn!

We learn that someone sculpted a statue.
Beyond that, not so much!

[bucolic_frolic]

34. "you will go back to it again"

"that whole era and you’re going to go back to it sometime. People won’t know about it."

Is he wacko? Or is he saying we ARE going back there, or he INTENDS to take us back there, and you won't hear about it because ... no more First Amendment? Because they're not telling the truth about COVID, or what's going on in Afghanistan ... it's like a news blackout during wartime.

Tell me I'm wrong. I want to be wrong about what I'm reading into this. It can't be happening, it can't be even a subliminal thought in his mind. Can it?

[roamer65]

36. Is he threatening to enslave people of color again???

Sure as hell sounds like it.

[The_REAL_Ecumenist]

39. He might not like the way it would end up if he were to "TRY" to re-enslave black folks...

We ain't having it, trust me.

[roamer65]

40. This white person wont stand for it.

We have enough blood on our hands. NO MORE.

FUCK TRUMP.

[The_REAL_Ecumenist]

41. Aww, you sweet actual human being, you...

Hubs is a little on the Vanilla side too, a Boczech born in central Texas who has guaranteed that he's gotten his trigger finger a bit itchy and MIGHT need to scratch it by firing more than a few at ANYONE who thinks that they're coming to enslave his wife & brown side of his family. He, along with innumerable other European Americans AIN'T HAVING IT!!!

The one thing that all of us need to remember that there are FAR MORE OF US than there are of them...

[roamer65]

43. Just trying to be the best human I can.

I can’t fix the past, but I sure as hell can affect the future.

[SlogginThroughIt]

42. Right there with you.

I sure as shit ain’t letting that happen to my countrymen. My fellow human beings. Nope nope nope nope, nuh uh, fuck all that noise.

[The_REAL_Ecumenist]

38. WTaF, MUTHAF*CKA??! You have the colossal nerve to ATTEMPT to us black folks about HISTORY?

YOU CHEEKY BASTARD! Let's get a few things straight ....
First of all, your IGNORANT ggrandpappy WASN'T EVEN ON THIS CONTINENT during the Civil War, (NOT that he'd have had the balls to ACTUALLY fight anyone). So, let's get that the f*ck straight. I know facts don't mean much to you and your 1st 3 spawn, don jr,(or as I call him, THE DRUNK), Eric the Simple & your Incestuous Dream Girl, Lady Plastica & her DL Consort Jared, (I have it on good authority I trust that he is WELL KNOWN in more than a few gay date sites, bath houses, gay bars & by a few specialised "companions for rent" companies).

SECONDLY, the honourable descendants of the people THE SPANISH, THE PORTUGEUSE, THE ENGLISH & other less melaninated human beings enslaved- AFRICAN, NATIVE AMERICAN AND SURPRISE, SURPRISE, the I.R.I.S.H A-R-E all this world needs to know about the treacherous & seditious confederacy because it's LITERALLY written on our faces & in our bodies! Did I mention the f*cking fact that your family WAS NOT HERE WHEN THAT MONSTROSITY, confederacy splashed the blood of their AMERICAN brothers on soil already defiled by the blood of the Nations who were here when Columbus "DISCOVERED" a continent already laden by 150 MILLION PEOPLE!

THIRDLY, outside of the obviously soulless failures, ben carson, herman cain, (deserves what he's going through, AFAIC), the 2 mammies, rhinestone & burlap & the other thousand black folks who are inarguably insane.what black folks are cheerleading for your incontinent, incompetent, demented ass WITHOUT taking coin? & oh yeah, we don't need you to whitesplain anyting to us, let alone the FACT that you don't know SH!T ABOUT ANYTHING. SHUT THE FUCK UP AND prepare for the 'ish you've so RICHLY deserved.

[electric_blue68]

44. Amen and remember to...

to get serious relaxation after a righteous rant because you want to (since I don't know your age) be alive and cogent when they drag that MF out of the WH!

[usajumpedtheshark]

45. donny wants statues of himself

maybe he would be satisfied with a mass grave site named after him? otherwise he is going to have to settle for that trump baby balloon

[SiliconValley_Dem]

47. translation: if you black people remove these statues, we might repeat our history and enslave you

so better to keep these statues meant to honor those who fought as traitors of the US for their right to keep slaves.

[Martin Eden]

51. Too bad little Donnie didn't see statues of Benedict Arnold

That might have prevented him from "going back" to TRE45ON.
