Cell phone video and a Racist's Christmas rant!

[donquixote99]

That is a big turnabout in social norms--the rehabilitation of racism, it's move to acceptability. This change is very bad, very dangerous. If this trend continues, I fear very bad things, as I outlined above.

Now is no time to tolerate racism, at all, anywhere.

The (ranting) woman is now banned from the Mall for life and may be sued!

No Walmart at that mall so she is OK.

I have no issues with speaking out against ignorance and hate.

With the number of people that pack heat out there, it's best not to directly confront a psycho such as this. Report it to Security or better yet Law Enforcement and let them handle it. I think a charge of disturbing the peace would be warranted in this case.

I have no doubt that Trump would condemn shit like this.

No, I will not spend my life afraid to speak out when someone really needs to speak out.

Your thought carries weight.

Even among the educated there can be delight in writing nastygrams and collecting copies as souvenirs. That happened during the 1980s with office photocopiers. The video camera seems to be its replacement.

Intolerance of the way others perceive their world is what got Trump elected.

Lots of things got Trumo elected, by in the end a tiny margin. Change one of them and the thing flips.

The things you're referencing are long term trends and cannot be changed with the flip of a switch in the real world. The intolerance of political correctness is as responsible for getting us to this point as is the intolerance you decry in others (them).

[donquixote99]

Your disagreement was expected.

However long-term and seemingly irreversible the trends of your focus, the confluence of all trends and influences on Nov 8 resulted in a very close election. A large number of things could have made a marginal but decisive difference on the day in question.

I believe that the election was rigged in Hillary's favor, but that said rigging wasn't enough to overcome Trump's advantage in voter support.

I mean think about it. The nomination process was clearly rigged for her. Why would one expect then that the Clinton machine did nothing to attempt to rig the general? It only makes sense that they would.

Add to that the fact that Obama called her quite early on election night and urged her to concede. And add to that the fact that her team did very little to contest the results. I suspect this was because they did not want a serious investigation because of waht they need might be discovered.
