Thanks to everybody who sent me the early word that Friday was said to be the day a giant Trump Racism Scandal would drop.
We now know:
Trump used a Racial Epithet!
From The Daily Beast:
NOT OKAY
Donald Trump Kept Calling Lil Jon an ‘Uncle Tom,’ Celebrity Apprentice Staffers Say
The Donald didn’t seem to understand that the term was a slur, and kept using it even after that was explained to him.
ASAWIN SUEBSAENG
10.14.16 5:50 PM ET
While shooting the 13th season of The Apprentice, Donald Trump repeatedly used a racial slur to refer to rapper and contestant Lil Jon—even after several producers urged him to stop, three staffers on the show told The Daily Beast.
… In the heat of competition, Lil Jon bought and donned an Uncle Sam costume to help advertise the “beautiful” hair product.
During the day’s shoot, Trump himself caught wind of this gimmick and began referring to Lil Jon around Apprentice staff as “Uncle Tom” instead of Uncle Sam.The appropriate term is “Uncle Sam of Color”
“Look, he’s Uncle Tom!” one longtime Apprentice staffer recalled Trump blurting out at least twice. The staffer said Trump was utterly tone-deaf to the racially charged history of the term, which is used to deride a black man deemed to be subservient to white people.
It didn’t take long for multiple producers on the show to begin frantically attempting—in vain—to get the former real-estate mogul to stop calling Lil Jon an “Uncle Tom.” According to two sources from different departments on the production (speaking on the condition of anonymity due to strict non-disclosure agreements), one reason producers were freaked out was that comedian and talk-show host Arsenio Hall (who is also black) was a guest star on that episode, and had heard Trump refer to Lil Jon in the derogatory way.
Hall made his displeasure with the use of the term clear, and staff sprang into damage control.
“We kept trying to explain to [Trump] that that’s not a word you can use, that it’s offensive,” another Apprentice employee told The Daily Beast. “One of the executive producers had to call him up directly to [plead with] him not to say it, and Trump was like, ‘No, that’s a saying, it’s Uncle Tom.’ There are several takes in the footage of the dailies that has him trying to figure out the difference between ‘Uncle Tom’ and Uncle Sam. He just couldn’t grasp that it was offensive…
When [Trump] decides he wants to do something, that’s his way.”
Another Apprentice staffer of several years who helped intervene in the “Uncle Tom mini-crisis,” as the source dubbed it, confirmed that “multiple producers had to try to instruct him” but that “somehow none of it stuck.”
“It was not like he was saying the n-word, or anything,” the staffer continued. “But I couldn’t understand why he wouldn’t just realize he was being offensive with that particular term!”
Admittedly, this sounds like a giant Godfrey Elfwick tweet — “NOT OKAY” — but it’s a “real” “news” “story.”

There’s a strong rumor going around that next week, a video of Hillary verbally attacking elderly black woman will be released. It supposedly has Hillary using the “N” word.
I don’t know if this “proves” Trump is a racist, but I find this story screamingly funny.
This “revelation” is completely incoherent!
Totally
Righteous

Media
Perfectly
Yeah, Trump is so much of a Black Panther he would call a negro an Uncle Tom who didn’t support the Narrative. LOL, GMAO, and LOTFLMAO!
I’ve been waiting for them to give blacks a concrete reason to come out and vote, and this ain’t it. Can’t they get a better scandal with a New York real estate baron, of all people?
Uncle Tom is a classic, but I think “Oreo” is more popular lately. Too bad his supposed racism isn’t up to date.
Isn’t there any audio of this? Or, better yet, audio of him saying “n*****?” After the tape mere rumors are anticlimactic.
I’m not sure black people will care. (I’m not ever sure what’s going on in their minds.) If they actually caught him being racist, blacks might respond favorably, because they are pleased to be justified in their belief that the white man has it out for them. But this doesn’t rise to that level. The article itself says Trump didn’t understand what he was saying. At most it’s a “Trump is insensitive” story, which we already know whether or not this instance is true or false.
Problem for the future of this smear: no other ordinary person really gets why it’s so terribly offensive.
If you have to explain a joke or an outrage, you’ve lost the punchline.
And he said it how many times? Twice? Jesus.
Media gave Muhammad Ali a pass on this one his entire life, afaict.
Lil Jon will get his payback against Donald Trump by voting for Crooked Hildabeast.
This is pretty bad if true. But we already know he’s a stubborn buffoon largely incapable of learning.
Try posting once without cucking. Can you manage it?Replies: @AndrewR
Why are they fighting so hard? Subtlety is gone, it’s overkill at this point no?
The ruling-class's idea is to disgrace Trump as a sexual predator, not merely defeat him at the polls. That will insure that he won't live to strike again, to form a rightist media empire or whatever.
Neither side cares about the damage they're doing to political discourse. But wherever you see the Clinton's, there's inevitably some kind of sex scandal. Hillary started it with the Machado provocation. It isn't surprising that her main political talent proved to be getting under someone's skin.
Black people understand it, and they’re the target. Well, nice white ladies and racial white knights, too, but they’re willing to have outrages explained to them, in a manner of speaking.
OMG!!!
Well, that does it for me.
How could anyone continue to support him after this damning revelation?
Meanwhile, we seem to be on the brink of WWIII today. Nicely splashed out at Drudge.

Is Al Sharpton on this yet? He must have a shake-down business model that shows revenues per unit of hassle, such as how far is the travel and where would he stay.
Was Mr. Trump calling this guy “an Uncle Tom,” or was he just calling that one Stars & Stripes costumed guy, “Uncle Tom” – was he just leg-pulling with a play on words, “Uncle Sam/Uncle Tom”? That’s what I think went on, but then our Dear Cultural Marxist Supreme Self-Appointed Judges Of All Offense & Hurt are, of course, bereft of a genuine sense of humor.
One of the problems the Corrupt Dems may now be running into – and this should worry them, if not drive them to despair – is that people have become inured to, bored with, the nonstop barrage of TRUMP TALKS BAWDY – MOLESTS 10 YEAR-OLD – CALLS BLACK MAN “UNCLE TOM” – MOLESTS EMBRYO! phony “revelations.”
After such a monotonous litany of dreck, are Americans now beginning to see the Dems as the Boy Who Cried Wolf . . . one too many, two too many, and now three too many times? So that now perhaps the Dems are beginning to get blowback from people for their incessant “Wolf! Wolf! Wolf!” hysterics.
This one is hysterical. He said he was Uncle Tom, not an Uncle Tom, and OMG he blurted it out twice!!! Meanwhile WWIII looms while the Party of Outrage is in the tall weeds again. People might have had enough and consider 4 more years as a sentence.
Besides the obvious desperation of this piece, trying to smear Trump by using The Apprentice is going to fail, because it’s clear to anyone who watches it that he is no racist.
Next week, the news will be that Trump once order corned beef on a Kaiser with mayonnaise, thus proving he is the prophesied return of the hidden Czar. Hoof beats…
Could’ve been worse. Could’ve called him Uncle Remus.
I’m Italian-American and feel slighted the media hasn’t yet acknowledged us with a trumped-up Trump scandal. Is one “wop” or “dago” too much to ask for?

Wow…just wow. I am so triggered by this latest atrocity I might just turn into another Tiny Duck.

Are you a moron or completely unaware of the use to which lefty and thug Negroes put this term. They use it to describe another Negro whose politics or lifestyle they find offensive. And they use the term all the time. If it’s so f*cking obnoxious I can think of a few dozen Negro darlings of the left who ought to be run out of town on a rail. If I remember correctly, that affirmative action literary celebrity, “Silly Name” Coates, is on record using this term on multiple occasions.
This is another failed attempt by the MSM, motivated by hysterical (in both senses of the word) desperation, to besmirch Trump in some fashion. Anyone with any street sense had to know it was a non-starter. But these days very, very few members of the MSM have any street sense whatsoever.
It is desperate, as you say, though not a nonstarter. I don't imagine blacks will care. But my point was they understand what the term means, and why it's supposedly wrong for Trump to have said it. Whether or not it will be successful, the intent is for the Clinton campaign/MSM to use it to get out the black vote, plus the offended on behalf of the blacks vote.Replies: @Antonymous, @The Practical Conservative, @Jus' Sayin'...
It’s mostly delightful because no white person I have ever known has called a black man “Uncle Tom”. It’s an insult that is basically confined to black people. The only way I can imagine Trump ever heard of it was from black guys calling other black guys “Uncle Toms” and not really understanding what they meant by it.
Not that I expect that to matter, of course. But it’s funny.
Topsy is the best character, though.Replies: @Old fogey, @PiltdownMan, @PiltdownMan

Calling someone an “Uncle Tom” implies that they’re a sycophant. It also implies that they have a slave mentality.

One likely implication of this article: it’s hard to believe they have Trump on record bandying about the n-word on The Apprentice if they thought it worth any kind of while to push out this lame ass story.

I don’t get your point. I know exactly what they use it to describe. The fact that they say it all the time is immaterial. At the very least it’s “cultural appropriation,” and Trump looks uncool for misusing slang.

“Uncle Tom” isn’t racist. Blacks use it routinely, in respectable settings. They use it in Big Media to refer to people like Condi Rice. Thus, the Daily Beast is asserting that it’s okay for blacks to use the term, but not whites. Which is itself racist.
The Daily Beast is openly racist.

We do know one story that would be believed by no one: if a man came out from anonymity and claimed that Hillary Clinton performed oral sex on him.
The Lil John article is funny enough, but the next article is “sponsored” and titled, “Owning a Car Can Help Young Professionals in Unexpected Ways”. And it’s a 1000+ word, well written explanation of how owning a car can help people go places. Along with real life examples of young people who *own cars*. I don’t know whether to laugh or cry. It’s like Steve said about putting a good face on a lowered standard of living. But it’s also strangely reminiscent of P&G hiring locals in Africa and India to explain the benefits of toothpaste and shampoo. Are young people really that unfamiliar with the concept of owning a car these days?
I despise this faux moral outrage. “Uncle Tom” is bandied about with impunity anytime a black public figure commits the crime of breaking with liberal orthodoxy.
Alan Keyes, Thomas Sowell, Colin Powell, Condy, Herman Caine, Allen West, Clarence Thomas, Ben Carson, and Bill Cosby have all heard that one from people who actually knew what it meant.
Now we hear Trump used the term, incorrectly and without understanding what it meant, and we’re supposed to think he’s some kind of Grand Wizard? If anything, this serves to show the opposite of what they’re trying to claim. The more passionate “racists” I know are like walking dictionaries of racial slurs.
Why is it that when we finally get an anti-establishment nominee, he turns out to be an undisciplined know-nothing, who has a knack for sounding uneducated? He may be a deal-making savant and quick with a quip, but the idiot half of this idiot-savant is really hurting his chances of pulling off a historic victory against the globo-elite establishment.
Why couldn't someone who's smart, sounds smart, and is not prone to scandals of his or her own making run on this same platform? Ann Coulter, perhaps? Is it just inherently structural - i.e., it just has to be a megalomaniac self-funded billionaire, because the Cuckpublicans would never allow someone like that to rise through the ranks to claim the nomination?
I wait every election season for a candidate to say “tarbaby.”
Several Points:
1) What?
2) WHAT?
3)WHAT?
4) Lil’ John is about as far away from an “Uncle Tom” as one can get.
5)Yea-uh!…O-Kaaay!
It is phony, but it wait for it to get phonier. This article at least claims Trump was ignorant and stubborn. Future articles will pile on with theories about him really knowing what he was saying all along, dog whistle, secret racist, Literal Hitler, etc.
And I expect the left will claim that Trump called Dr. Carson "Uncle Ben"--repeatedly.

Yes, the original Tom of Uncle Tom’s Cabin was a saintly man, a true Christian, and someone to be admired. Sadly, it seems that the vast majority of blacks, all of whom use the expression as an insult, have never read the book . . .
It may help to bear in mind that many young people in the USA have, comparatively recently, arrived from third-world backwaters, slums, jungles, and so on. That this didn’t occur to you as readily as it did to me makes me jealous of you for wherever it is that you live.

The only reason I know what it means is when I was in high school we spent time talking about Uncle Tom’s Cabin and what an Important Book it was.
Any man who has done any sort of labor alongside black men in the last 20 years has been called “the N word.” If not, it means they didn’t like you.
I moved furniture with a crew of mostly black guys after college. I used to ask, “Did you just call me a ‘N-word’?” ( using the actual magic word) They thought that was hysterically funny.
Then they’d say I was ‘honorary’ black. “But I don’t want to be black.” They thought that was funny, too.
In my experience black people have a much better sense of humor about this stuff than the hyphenated black commentariat. Liberals see the crazier blacks, Muslims, cosmic racists etc as more authentic, but there are plenty of regular blacks whose views on sacred liberal causes like trans toilets, gay marriage, political Islam and immigration are what I would call ‘American.’

Come to think of it, “Uncle Sambo” would have been worse too.
I know more than a few people who are in their 20s and don’t drive. Most of them are quite proud of that fact too. More often than not it’s a conscious decision because anyone can buy a beater if need be. The modern NEET is too good for that though, even though he has three roommates and only has a minimum wage job. In past generations, owning a car meant independence. Modern young men don’t care about that at all and prioritize owning a new smartphone instead.
The same dynamics governed black consumption choices years ago. When housing discrimination restricted their options, they bought rides and color TVs. Hipsters are subject to the same monthly decisions. Do they buy silly wardrobes and mustache wax or a stylish car?
While not using that exact term, John “Stewart” in his book did call Clarence Thomas Scalia’s “hand puppet” (forgot how the joke went exactly).

It would be interesting to see the text of these non-disclosure agreements (why plural?). Why is disclosing this information allowed as long as the name of the discloser is kept secret?

The ruling-class’s idea is to disgrace Trump as a sexual predator, not merely defeat him at the polls. That will insure that he won’t live to strike again, to form a rightist media empire or whatever.
Neither side cares about the damage they’re doing to political discourse. But wherever you see the Clinton’s, there’s inevitably some kind of sex scandal. Hillary started it with the Machado provocation. It isn’t surprising that her main political talent proved to be getting under someone’s skin.
This is news on a day when 6 or 8 women make accusations that he is a sexual predator? Talk about underwhelming. I would argue that Uncle Tom is more respectful than calling him “Lil Jon”. And, anyway, he was a rapper – the last one to be offended by foul language.
I suppose we are lucky David Berkowitz was convicted for the ‘Son of Sam’ murders. If, like the Zodiac killings, they had gone unsolved, the media would be linking them to Donald Trump.
There’s always the “voter turnout” concern. You can be sure blacks and SJWs will be with Hillary, but will they get off their asses on election day? Articles like this are intended to motivate them.
No, they’re not. Gloria Allered is already on the case.
Still whatever the Clinton’s are paying these idiot old hags, it’s not enough once Trump’s lawyers get through with them. IMS Ivanka has the same lawyer the sued Gawker out of business. He’ll eat that two bit extortionist Allered and her pet bimbo alive.
Much as this type of “legwork” impresses hair-on-fire swishy D.C. cub reporters, I have my doubts that Joe Q. Voter *OR* DeShawnimus X Voter can even keep track of what they’re supposed to be offended about here. The Beltway first-draft munchkins have to pace themselves… On another note: why is Jill Stein’s kamikaze lunge at Lady Macbeth only getting attagirls from Trump media? I know why WeeklyStandard or “Heat Street” would be nervous to highlight the power-drunk wrathful-spouse neoconservative angle that’s otherwise obvious, but surely Bernie fans realize it’s important to speak up about this now (as opposed to November when they have zero leverage). Unless the anti-war left truly has no principles higher than partisanship.
Maybe it’s due to the fact that, since car maintenance has proven one of the areas of our economy most stubbornly NON-outsourceable, the relative cost of it is so much more of a sticker shock? If a decent pair of blue jeans still cost, in inflation-adjusted terms, $150, a home video camera $1000, a medium-grade computer $3000, and a car stereo w/CD player $600, people would be more willing to pay for a $400-$600 medium-size auto repair, like my catalytic converter replacement last month. But not when jeans are now $50 (much less at closeout stores like ROSS), camcorders $200, PC’s $300, a car stereo $150. It’s like how I’m so stingy with buying anything from the iTunes store- the absolute amount is tiny, but it is like 300% more than what I’m used to paying them in an entire year, so I hang onto that money.

“The staffer said Trump was utterly tone-deaf to the racially charged history of the term, which is used to deride a black man deemed to be subservient to white people.”
Well, Lil’ Jon was a contestant on The Apprentice, which means…………..he was, to a certain degree, a black man who was subservient to a white person.
Lol! This is a hilarious story.
People keep telling me Godfrey Elfwick is a put-on, but I can’t see any difference from him and all the other SJWs. I still believe he’s a real, non-parody person.
I also believe that what difference, at this point, does it make. Sarcasm, parody, and irony are dead, killed by the brute stupidity of 2016.
I wonder if the media are playing their hand too early. We are nearing saturation point with these hysterical outbursts about Trump’s latest depravity each one becoming increasingly bogus due to the miraculous timing (even the most simple-minded must find it curious that these sexual harrasment claims are coming out only now). At a certain point, the public becomes inured to it and just tunes it out or even begins to reject the claims because the media’s antipathy toward Trump becomes so naked.
Presumably, the Democrat media complex has the next three weeks all planned out. But they will have to do better than this Uncle Tom bullshit. Seems kind of weak considering the time left until election day.
Cars are less easy to fix by yourself than they were a generation ago.
Modular electronic controllers and the like can only be sourced from dealers and usually cannot be installed and reset by do it yourself repair enthusiasts. Other, solely mechanical, parts often require specialized tools to remove them, not just a set of wrenches. Bodywork crumples more easily, by design, and pulling a dent after a minor bump is usually not an option anymore. And so on. Just try removing an integrated taillight unit in a modern car and replacing it.
Everything is set up so that you have to turn to the dealer to fix it, which is an expensive proposition—again, by design. Being able to fix a car used to be a guy thing in American culture, something many men prided themselves on, but it is simply not feasible anymore.
I paid $15 for an OBDII code reader that plugs into my car computer and communicates wirelessly with my cell phone that has an app I paid five bucks for to diagnose any issues. I can reset my car computer from my phone.
Electronic modules are plug and play as long as I am careful with the VIN numbers, and specialized tools are dirt cheap thanks to China for better or for worse. I just got a set of vacuum gauges and vacuum pump for less than a hundred dollars to do the AC's on two cars.

Can one imagine if Hillary had ever said : “I aint no ways tired. I come too far from where I started from.” – – – all the while using an outrageously fake Black accent. She would have been forced to drop out of the 2008 race for the Democrat nomination. They are just certain things that are far beyond the pale.

Nah. A video that sounds that good is never true.
Sure, but you’re kidding yourself if you think that the quality is similar to that of a pair of Levi’s made in America three decades ago.
Levi’s doesn’t even weave denim in America anymore and admits that the quality of the textile they are able to source is nowhere near the quality of the old denim.
It’s a small thing, but people are unaware, or have started forgetting, the quality of American made clothes and textiles a generation ago. The stuff was really, really good and ubiquitous.
Yes, I know. Get off my lawn and all that.
So I don't know how much jeans cost in Japan, but there are still parts of the world where people are willing to pay for real quality.
And they still seem to be doing reasonably well for themselves.

This one doesn’t seem so bad, but it does make you wonder what they’ve got coming down the pipeline.
If Hillary’s smart, they’re holding something in reserve that she can use to confront Trump in the last debate.
Best case scenario for them:
They have a tape of him disparaging working people, maybe firefighters or police. Hillary confronts Trump in the debate. He denies it immediately. She comes back with, “we have the tape.”
In fact, Trump is in a difficult position now, because he doesn’t know when or if this could happen. Outright denial is bad if they have a tape, but if he says something along the lines of “prove it”, that’ll be treated like an admission of guilt.
I suspect there aren’t any N-word incidents out there, otherwise they would have done that one first, then, with confirmation bias established, they could have released anything else like this Uncle Tom incident.
The thing that’s the most disturbing about this Uncle Tom incident is that Trump didn’t seem to realize what the problem was. That suggests there may be other instances out there of him using “insensitive language” unknowingly.
I think it’s pretty clear now the strategy is to suppress enthusiasm and turnout and rely on women to push Hillary over the top. So Trump dumping on working Americans is their best shot. I’m expecting to hear something like that before election day.
Actually, the Clintons have used this formulation many times, successfully. They'll respond to an accusation with, "There is no proof that I ever [committed that felony]."
You are absolutely correct. Quality is nowhere near what it once was. Nowhere near.

I don’t even know why I know this, but a lot of the machines upon which those old jeans were made are still in use, in Japan, where we sold them. Still making the same quality they ever did.

which they were intentionally violating!
I wonder how much Hillary paid them.
“Future articles will pile on with theories about him really knowing what he was saying all along, dog whistle, secret racist, Literal Hitler, etc.”
And I expect the left will claim that Trump called Dr. Carson “Uncle Ben”–repeatedly.
1. The more women come forward, the better. It was just like, ‘how many came out today’. And the quality is getting absurd. Kristin Anderson- she was a wanna be model and is attractive. But really?
2. I’m not especially happy with Trump calling the election rigged. I think the vote will be counted accurately enough. In a more abstract sense, sure. But lets face it. Trump is an unpopular guy and if he loses, I’ll believe he got less votes.
3. Meanwhile, the Clinton version. The Russians are stealing the election?
This is some serious shit. This is fucking America … and voter fraud … we have processes. If Trump makes an accusation the votes weren’t added up correctly, he can make it and get his recount.
The real problem with the ‘Russian’ argument is that it is impossible to disprove. Unfalsifiable. And WTF … we are going to announce a cyber war against Russia? This is truly insane. It would be like the Japs announcing Pearl Harbor.
Maybe Trump can pull his head out of his ass and pound Clinton on her Cold War 3 strategy. I’m a single issue voter and that is the issue. I’ve been against every fucking war since Vietnam, and am disgusted with this obsession with mixing it up with the Russians. Holocaust? How about a Nuclear exchange? Maybe preventing the next one is smarter than obsessing over Crimea and especially Syria. Nustra is simply rebranded al Qaeda. We want to fight Russia to support our radical Islamists against Assad, with the overriding excuse ISIS? Trump had her last debate and let her walk away …. she needs to explain just who our allies are in Syria.
Whatever. I’m foaming at the mouth over this issue. The other stuff? Most of it I could care less. I even like the idea of keeping troops in Germany and Japan. But why can’t we win something like the cold war and then keep it won. Russia is a strong regional power, but they don’t have an economy to support an empire. Or to project force outside their region. They simply aren’t a threat. I have sworn to never vote for any candidate that ever uses the Munich analogy. Clinton hauled it out the week after Crimea. If we have to have a war, lets do another Panama.

This was actually explained on an episode of the Fresh Prince of Belair. One of the characters, Will Smith, I think was throwing out the term, then got pwned with that nugget of knowledge.
The epithet in question is highly offensive, up at the extreme range of hate speech.
Yet, I don’t believe the establishment wants the full discussion; not the part about ‘uncle Toms’ being necklaced by the hundreds in South Africa in the 1980s. In revolutionary culture, the ‘collaborator’ smear is always a death sentence.
Anyone who uses the term in earnest should be subject to hate crime sanctions. Anyone who uses the term in a subversive or trivialising manner ought to be commended for standing up to terror in its ugliest form.

When the MSM has no real content to post that would favor Hillary, they post distractions. “Oh, look! there’s a squirrel!” They revert to a continual stream of sexual innuendo and salacious gossip about Trump that conveniently was never witnessed.
Hillary only needs 30 more women to come forward with hidden memories of sexual encounters with The Donald and it’s election day; at least the women think it was The Donald. What’s next … the adolescent tale of a romp in the backseat of Donald’s car when he was 17? We won’t be offered an example of Trump peeing next to a little girl in a public restroom because that is already national policy within the Empire.
Michelle Obama is trying to do her part for the distraction: The headlines ….
http://www.politico.com/story/2016/10/flotus-speech-229741
This strategy on the part of the elite’s conspiracy to rule the Empire is an effort to silence Trump so that he cannot argue foreign policy, economics, or immigration. Portray Donald Trump in the MSM as a lout (another reason to dislike all White Men … the major theme of her campaign) and continue to shout that women should vote for Hillary because she is a women.
As another instance of the famed Clintonesque “triangulation”, what does this mean?
1. The Negro vote is safe because they already hate all White Men due to the invisible forces that White Men use to oppress them.
2. The feminist vote is safe because, riding the draft of the Negro civil rights movement, they also hate all White Men due to the patriarchy and the implicit biases that oppress them.
3. The LGBT…bdsm-xzy vote is safe because of the long-standing rumors that Hillary is one of them. There is also the de facto move afoot to legitimize and elevate the LGBT…bdsm-xyz community to senior leadership positions in the Empire. (To avoid being careless and camp, there will be no mention of either their or Bill Clinton’s sexual practices to distract from the Trump distractions.)
All that’s left is to try to pry the remaining White Women from the patriarchy by giving them a reason to also hate White Men … because all women know, do they not, that White Men and especially Donald Trump are salacious louts.
The Negroes aren't huge fans of White women either because White women make up the majority of the victims of Black on White violence.
Nice White ladies on average have less street smarts than White men, so they are more likely to seek out no go zone areas where they do not racially belong.
Any White woman who becomes a teacher in the hood for example does not have an ounce of street smarts.

In the 1960s, a new pair of jeans had the feel and suppleness of tar paper and had to be washed multiple times before they were wearable. In a memoir of navy life in WW II, the author recalled that sailors used to tie a rope to new denims and drag them behind the ship to break them in.
Even the apolitical people I know think this “bimbo a second” stuff is unbelievable. General consensus is “she could have sued 20 years but why not?”.
This is not the act of a campaign that thinks it’s ahead at all. This is a drowning campaign trying to pull down someone with them and failing.
Reading the Rasmussen poll it’s hilarious that they mention Trump’s made up allegations but don’t even touch the Wikileaks scandal. I think they underestimate how much this obvious hypocrisy rubs a lot of people the wrong way.
We talked about it in History Class. The teacher taught us that the book was Yankee propaganda.
Levis went full SJW back in the early ’90s. I don’t know any male who owns anything made by Levis.
This was considered to be a good thing. The correct way to wear in new jeans was to wear them for weeks or even months without washing them. Hence “wear in.” It’s not like people ran them through the washing machine, over and over, before wearing them.
Pre-washing of jeans by manufacturers made the masses happy, but no one considered it to be a great technological advance, just a concession to more feminine times. And the look and color were quite different.
I don’t remember the old style jeans as being particularly uncomfortable; they were much less so than the starched collars and ties which were universally worn and de rigueur in the professional workplace back then.
I wonder if the modern need for very soft fabrics has something to do with the fact that, in general, we are nowhere near as lean as we used to be?
The stiffness of the old jeans was something. My grandmother had a pair of Levi's from the 1930's or earlier (not that she wore them), they were literally blue canvas.

We used to wash the blue jeans once before wearing them in, because they had to shrink. The rule of thumb IIRC was an extra inch at the waist and an extra two inches in the leg. Wash once, it would shrink to fit. Then you just wore them all the time.

Why is it that when we finally get an anti-establishment nominee, he turns out to be an undisciplined know-nothing, who has a knack for sounding uneducated? He may be a deal-making savant and quick with a quip, but the idiot half of this idiot-savant is really hurting his chances of pulling off a historic victory against the globo-elite establishment.
Why couldn’t someone who’s smart, sounds smart, and is not prone to scandals of his or her own making run on this same platform? Ann Coulter, perhaps? Is it just inherently structural – i.e., it just has to be a megalomaniac self-funded billionaire, because the Cuckpublicans would never allow someone like that to rise through the ranks to claim the nomination?
Exactly. The MSM implication is that Trump is a “racist” for using an epithet whose meaning he apparently doesn’t understand, an epithet that is used by blacks who hate whites to insult blacks who don’t hate whites as “racists” who are culpable, collectively and magically, for pandemic negro criminality, violence, degeneracy, illegitimacy, statistical inequalities with other races, etc.

I miss the days when Kevin Smith made funny movies.
Love to see the MSM concerted spin. This Lil Jon incident gets attention (859,000 Google hits for “Lil Jon Trump”), but somehow I managed to not even hear until today about this other point which came up over a month ago:
http://www.snopes.com/trump-received-ellis-island-award-in-1986/
Also interesting to see how few hits I got while Google/Bing searching for a better reference. Is that photo common knowledge here?
While searching for that I ran across a good compilation of referenced talking points in favor of Trump that might be of interest here: https://www.reddit.com/r/AskThe_Donald/comments/507acz/how_to_red_pill_someone_a_13600_worded_cheat/
“During the Republican primary, we learned that the Zodiac killer is Ted Cruz. Even though the Zodiac killings began before Cruz was born!”
Don’t forget Ted Cruz’s father murdered America’s first Irish Catholic president according to Donald Trump.

This time they brought a hitman all the way from Bangkok.
But i’m still waiting to hear about that time when Donald had a threesome with a couple of boxes of Uncle Ben’s rice and Aunt Jemima pancake mix.
Bad for America!
Not sure if anyone has pointed this out, but “Lil Jon” is one of the most despicable human beings on the face of the planet. Google his lyrics, but make sure you’re not eating anything at the time. To be frank, I think human being is charitable, he is a voice from the swamp if ever there was one.
If the world was vaguely sane, the black mark against Trump would be that he fraternized with this depraved cave man at all.
“1. The Negro vote is safe because they already hate all White Men due to the invisible forces that White Men use to oppress them”
The Negroes aren’t huge fans of White women either because White women make up the majority of the victims of Black on White violence.
Nice White ladies on average have less street smarts than White men, so they are more likely to seek out no go zone areas where they do not racially belong.
Any White woman who becomes a teacher in the hood for example does not have an ounce of street smarts.
Early in 2008 I had a web conversation with an SF lawyer, HLS grad, named Michael Traynor, son of Roger Traynor, one of the most famous judges in American history. He’d been stumping for Obama rather heavily for the nomination, so I asked him why he thought it so important that Obama become President. He replied, “because he might put a black man on the Supreme Court.”
The truth does have a tendency to emerge like that.
Who says he didn’t learn? Who says they were clear about it? Who says it’s socially inappropriate? Even if it were, what of it
I was just doing a news search on Alicia Machado. As far as I can see she hasn’t been mentioned in a week. I’m sure that’s disappointing for her and doesn’t say much for the Trump shattering scandal she is supposed to represent.
“Uncle Tom” is not, in isolation, “racist” or “offensive”. It’s all in who says it. We’ve come to a point where only certain people can say certain things. At one extreme, we have the blacks, who can say the N word all they want. At the other extreme, someone like Steve (or me, if you knew my real-world reputation) can’t say much of anything about race; around some of my friends/frenemies I get called “racist” if I so much as mention that African Americans originate in Africa.
Raping the teleprompter in front of the little children wil not help you, Mr. Trump!
Disgusting!
America is watching.
Trump made the same point in the last debate — it was crazy to announce that we were going to retake Mosul. That just allowed ISIS bigshots to leave.
It is desperate, as you say, though not a nonstarter. I don't imagine blacks will care. But my point was they understand what the term means, and why it's supposedly wrong for Trump to have said it. Whether or not it will be successful, the intent is for the Clinton campaign/MSM to use it to get out the black vote, plus the offended on behalf of the blacks vote.Replies: @Antonymous, @The Practical Conservative, @Jus' Sayin'...
When I hear the term “cultural appropriation” I reach for my barf bag.
The literary critic Lesley Fiedler, thought Uncle Tom’s character was misunderstood by readers of the 20th c., at a deep level. Tom was the original magic Negro — and most readers of the 19th century considered him as a good person in a bad situation; but Harriet Beecher Stowe was not describing an ideal black man — or any man at all, actually. She was a northerner and had never been around masses of blacks. She was describing her ideal of a saintly soul with the mindset of, perhaps, a white, Chrisitian woman like herself. That is what people don’t get and it explains the projection by certain whites onto blacks, of their own ideals. Stowe came from a family of famous preachers, her father fundamentalist, but her brothers more progressive and “transcendental.” New Englanders of that ilk were the original SJWs. Jews have nothing on them even today, in that philosophical area. A New Englander of the 18th century, once traveled in pilgrimage, hundreds of miles with the goal of seeing an actual Jewish man, who had opened a business in Rhode Island. Upon first setting eyes on him, the pilgrim exclaimed with disappointment, “you just look like everyone else!”

Yup, gutted them. 😉

If Hillary's smart, they're holding something in reserve that she can use to confront Trump in the last debate.
Best case scenario for them:
They have a tape of him disparaging working people, maybe firefighters or police. Hillary confronts Trump in the debate. He denies it immediately. She comes back with, "we have the tape."
In fact, Trump is in a difficult position now, because he doesn't know when or if this could happen. Outright denial is bad if they have a tape, but if he says something along the lines of "prove it", that'll be treated like an admission of guilt.
I suspect there aren't any N-word incidents out there, otherwise they would have done that one first, then, with confirmation bias established, they could have released anything else like this Uncle Tom incident.
The thing that's the most disturbing about this Uncle Tom incident is that Trump didn't seem to realize what the problem was. That suggests there may be other instances out there of him using "insensitive language" unknowingly.
I think it's pretty clear now the strategy is to suppress enthusiasm and turnout and rely on women to push Hillary over the top. So Trump dumping on working Americans is their best shot. I'm expecting to hear something like that before election day.Replies: @Shitposter Supreme, @Harry Baldwin, @Jus' Sayin'...
As I left work Thursday, just after the Clinton-Soros groping propaganda campaign, I was talking with a woman whom a sociologist might classify as married-with-children, working class (union member) and White. She sees herself as being firmly in the middle class but is afraid of what a Clinton victory this November might presage for her and her family. She plans to vote for Trump no matter what lies the MSM spews out between now and then. I know dozens like her and she said many of her friends feel the same way. Most are afraid to speak out unless they already know how their interloctors are leaning. They fear possible retaliation at work and even violence. But they will be voting for Trump. I’m reporting from the heart of the beast, Boston, Massachusetts.

Gender patterns in borderline personality disorder
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3115767/
One of the clinical symptoms of BPD in women is a tendency to report sexual and physical abuse, which upon investigation turns out to be highly constructed/subjective. The back-formation of “assault” onto 1970s and 1980s sluttery is in my mind a mass hysteria phenomenon. Love of my life calls it TwoLips Mania, and she’s not talking about the head region.
But, we all know–it’s horrifically sexist and misogynistic and criminal and the same as a rape-cake to call a woman on inflating frustrated furious wishful thinking into legally punishable actual acts on someone else’s part.
https://shrink4men.wordpress.com/2009/01/21/relationships-with-borderline-narcissistic-personality-women/
A man can self-redpill and then decide not to marry a woman like that, or to extricate himself from such creatures.
But now we’re expected to allow one–and her enablers, and the crazies they’ve drafted into their political cause–to run our republic without honesty, comment, or complaint. And hand them the keys to the nuclear arsenal.
FWIW, the strong minded females of my aquaintance are appalled at all this. But till we figure out how to stuff all the crazy back into the Snake Pit, rather than letting it run free with more power than normal balanced people do, I foresee a lot of anguish.
It’s not “bad if true.” It’s a lot of nothing. Even if there WAS ass-grabbage or whatever.
Jesus christ surfing the Columbia River bar in a tropical typhoon, “Fifty Shades of Gray” sold what, 125 million copies? You going to tell me it’s the DJ Trumps of the world buying them all? Or buying all the BDSM porn out there? Or doing the tens of thousands of Tumblr etc. porn sites on “daddy/little girl” domination?
A lot of women are effed up around sex. Understanding this is why Northern Europeans consecrated prudery and restraint as the basis of higher civilization. It’s not because there’s something wrong with sex per se, it’s because the vast majority of women (at least 85% in my statistical estimation) can’t handle power. A few can, but it’s very few. Maybe more can evolve in that direction eventually, I don’t know, but if they can, we’re not going about that the right way either.
So here’s my counter-proposal. How about we dig into and plumb the details of these women’s sexual pasts? Who touched whom. Who grabbed whose balls under the restaurant table. Who called whom after the break-off. Who–et cetera.
Oh wait, we’re not allowed to Slut Shame or judge rape victims or look at past actions or suggest that women who fire up men then get the sexual attention they asked for then use it against the men later are vicious BPD (at best) harpies for whom wiser generations invented the chastity belt.
Sluttishness isn’t just unattractive. It’s a force destructive to any and all civilization.
The damage will be severe, localized and brief, and then there will be reflection (what the heck am I doing?) and a reaction (are men really the enemy, my professor wouldn't lie to me, would she?).

Trump is a very, very flawed individual. Obviously he’d be less dangerous than Hillary but that is a very low bar, and anyone who doesn’t see countless things to criticize about Trump has an extremely juvenile mindset, hence the projection.
If Hillary wins I will have a large amount of consolation in the anguish of childish ideologues like you.

Better clear that with Brer Rabbi!
I moved furniture with a crew of mostly black guys after college. I used to ask, "Did you just call me a 'N-word'?" ( using the actual magic word) They thought that was hysterically funny.
Then they'd say I was 'honorary' black. "But I don't want to be black." They thought that was funny, too.
In my experience black people have a much better sense of humor about this stuff than the hyphenated black commentariat. Liberals see the crazier blacks, Muslims, cosmic racists etc as more authentic, but there are plenty of regular blacks whose views on sacred liberal causes like trans toilets, gay marriage, political Islam and immigration are what I would call 'American.'Replies: @Ivy

Simple economics. A phone is cheap and a car is expensive, especially with insurance tacked on. When used cars with 180K miles go for 5,000+ (5+ effing thousand), then it is no wonder that they opt for the phone?
The same dynamics governed black consumption choices years ago. When housing discrimination restricted their options, they bought rides and color TVs. Hipsters are subject to the same monthly decisions. Do they buy silly wardrobes and mustache wax or a stylish car?
