Trump felt comfortable saying

Trump felt comfortable saying the following to Hispanic supporter Steve Cortes.

During his campaign rally in New Mexico on Monday night, President Donald Trump noted that “nobody loves the Hispanics” more than Trump advisory board member Steve Cortes, who was in the audience. Saying Cortes looks like a “WASP,” Trump then asked the Hispanic supporter: “Who do you like more, the country or the Hispanics?”

“He says the country. I don’t know, I may have to go for the Hispanics, to be honest with you,” Trump added. “We got a lot of Hispanics. We love our Hispanics.”

Cortes stood mute. Blacks Democrats criticize Biden on race. The two parties are not the same.

Biden leads among black voters. Race is being discussed by Democrats. Race cannot be discussed by Republicans. The two sides are not the same. Race was discussed when Obama ran against Clinton, in fact it got pretty vicious. There was Bros vs Hoes and PUMA. One Rothschild who supported Hillary speed venom about Obama.

Black Democrats are vocal about being ignored by the Democratic Party. There is no equivalent argument about race on the Right. People on the Right cannot complain about race and remain in the GOP. Criticism of Biden by blacks proves my point. No Republican can label Trump a racist and remain in the party. Black Democrats can discuss Biden past and present acts and remain in the party.

It is not “both parties do it. Blacks are free to disagree about race in the Democratic Party. Republicans only accept Ben Carson, Larry Elder, Candace Owens, Diamond & Silk, etc.

You deliberately miss the point.

Re: Republicans have the Biden race problem, the left does not. So like Michael Harriot over at The Root and Jamil Smith over at Rolling Stone and Charles Blow at the NYTimes and Giridharadas at Time and Ryan Grim @ The Intercept and Terrell Starr @ The Root are Republicans?

Republicans have the Biden race problem, the left does not. Biden still has the lead in the polls, including among black voters. Democrats are better precisely because they can have discussions about race (see the race issues discussed in Obama versus Clinton). Democrats can argue whether there was bias in the way Omar was called to apologize. Republicans can’t discuss race. Republicans can’t address racism. Trump’s “African American” left the GOP because the GOP is a whites only party.

This is not a “both sides do it” problem. Racism is a Republican Party problem.

NYT’s Russ Douthat wonders if Conservatism can survive without racism

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/09/10/opinion/racism-republicans-trump.html

A column in Salon from 2018 noted that Republicans cannot address racism because they would have to acknowledge their role in enabling racism in the GOP.

https://www.salon.com/2018/08/15/republicans-cant-confront-trumps-racism-unless-they-face-their-role-in-enabling-it/

The fact that there is disagreement about racial issues among Democrats of different races makes the Democrats less racist than the GOP. Republicans pretend race does not exist..

Today's person in history note multilingual war reporter Ruth Mitchell, sister of General Billy Mitchell, founder of the US Air Force, in her 1943 book, "The Serbs Choose War", relating her experiences working for Chetnik fighters as a spy against the Nazis in the Balkans:

"Every art gallery and every private home is being picked clean. Everything beautiful, everything valuable to local history as well as to humanity as a whole, is being lugged away to Germany. Will these things ever be recovered? How can it be done?"

She was arrested by the Gestapo but spared execution due to her family's fame, traded for captured Afrika Korps members in 1943.

The fact that I know very little about art clearly places me on a higher plane of consciousness than Hitler, Goring and other art lovers.

Hitler had a vision of his precious pure volk inheriting the earth as the fittest and the ultimate creation of the great sphaghetti monster after the detour for humiliation over WWI. Trump has a vision of high ratings for Trump.

So you're equating art lovers with tyrants, art thieves & narcissistic demagogues? Check.

Agree. Hitler looted hundreds of millions in art for his planned Paris on the Danube in his hometown of Linz, Austria.
