Courant Presidential Endorsement: You probably think you can vote for Donald Trump but not support racism; here’s why you’re wrong
The Hartford Courant ^ | OCTOBER 18, 2020 | Editorial

Posted on 10/18/2020 11:11:51 AM PDT by E. Pluribus Unum

Chances are you’ve already made up your mind about whom to vote for as we decide who’s going to be the next president of the United States. You probably are also aware there’s no way The Hartford Courant or most any other newspaper is going to endorse Republican Donald Trump for reelection.

There are many reasons for that, and we’re not going to go into them in great detail here. If you are voting for Democrat Joe Biden, you know what they are. If you’re voting for Trump, you probably don’t care.

But there is one issue that demands a closer look as we approach Election Day, one that even those of you who are pretty sure you’re voting Republican might want to think about before voting for Trump: race. Or, more specifically, racism and the damaging effects it has on the fabric and future of our nation.

President Trump’s views on race and his willingness to exploit deep-rooted divisions are well documented. He jump-started his 2016 campaign by equating Mexicans with rapists and drug dealers. When racist violence erupted at a Charlottesville, Va., white-supremacist rally, Trump said there were “very fine people on both sides.” And most recently, when asked during a debate with Biden to denounce white nationalism, Trump said it was time for the militaristic hate group the Proud Boys to step back — but also to “stand by.”

That alone should frighten you, but right about now is when some of you are probably saying that you don’t subscribe to the kind of racist invective Trump uses to fire up his base. You believe in the free market and low taxes, or you’re against abortion, or you just don’t trust the Democrats.

The Harford Courant is systemically racist/sexist against straight, white males.

And woefully ignorant considering that the Proud Boys was founded by a Black Man.

Racism is not a problem, it’s a punchline.

Because this hate speech filled editorial Deliberately ignored the blatant racism and misogyny on the Democrat AND Biden’s side.

If the Hartford Courant supports Joe Biden, they support racism against blacks.

Joe Biden is and always has been racist against blacks.

Imagined racism is a propaganda tool.

I’ve heard that the entire staff of the Hartford Courant are racist child sex-traffickers.

This leftist rag capitalizes black, and lowercases White. On the day of inauguration of D. Trump, it had nostalgia pictures of bammy, to show us how much we would miss him.

They have nothing on Trump, so they got him on trumped-up charges of racism and killing 210,000 people.

The Hartford Courant supports Joe Biden accepting bribes to sell out America to foreign interests. They also support Biden's many racist remarks and support of KKK leader Robert Byrd.

The newspaper is fine with all the photos of "Creepy" Joe fondling little girls and inappropiate behavior with women such as groping a Secret Service agent's fiance at a Christmas party. They approve of that.

Oh ... there is racism ...

Unfortunately, because of the factors OUT OF MY CONTROL ...
1) Being born male
2) Being born "white"

Many people are racist towards me, because I won't "apologize" for NOT being sorry being born with these factors, AND because I won't "apologize" for the actions of individuals before me, which I did not commit personally.

It's real.

Dear Hartford Courant. Go **** yourselves. I’m not in the mood. You better hope a civil war doesn’t come because I’ll end every one of you sons of b****es

Some days I want a civil war to come so bad.

Those are usually the days I forget to take my meds :-)

the days I don’t forget my meds, I am here pontificating about how horrible a war would be.

If war comes I am off them completely.

Corrupt Joe: “Somalis drive cabs”. “Some black woman stocks my grocery shelves.” “You don’t vote for me, you aint Black”. Nope - no racism with Corrupt Joe.

President Trump’s views on race and his willingness to exploit deep-rooted divisions are well documented.

Ummm... My view is the Dems have exploited race divisions for over 100 years, just to put/keep themselves in power. Power is all the Dems lust for...

No matter what the REAL issue, whether it’s the economy or abortion or violent looters/rioters or Covid-19 or healthcare, or whatever, democrats always find a way to make it about.... RACISM.

No matter who the presidential candidate of the republicans, and no matter who the senate or congressional candidate, he or she will be branded as RACIST.

Even if the candidate is a law-enforcement type who wholeheartedly abides by the constitution, he or she, will be branded a RACIST, because, the constitution and the constitutional amendments, were drawn up by RACISTS, which therefore makes the constitution and its amendments, RACIST.

Democrats might as well cancel all of their commercials/advertising, and just use the word RACIST to end all discussions.

Could just say, if you don’t vote democrats this November 3, you are a RACIST. One commercial to replace all others.

The article had no evidence of racism whatsoever, unless the statement that it’s “well documented “ is proof.

Proud Boys was founded by Gavin McInnes, who is white.
