Brenda Lopez Romero was about 12 years old when she and her father stopped at a diner just north of Helen.
As they walked in, several white men stood up from their table.“Are you lost?” they said. “Did you just cross the river?”Then that phrase: “You need to go back where you came from.”A native of Mexico, Lopez Romero remembers the sting of those racist taunts.
Lopez Romero, now a 36-year-old immigration attorney, state representative from Gwinnett County and candidate for U.S. Congress, says she never thought she would hear similar language coming from the President of the United States.
Gwinnett is a community where a full quarter of its nearly 1 million residents are foreign-born and about two-thirds are black, Latino or Asian — and where a longtime Republican foothold is quickly diminishing, meaning comments like Trump’s tweets could have an enormous effect during a 2020 election season that’s sure to be volatile and racially charged.

Uh, wut racis’ comments would those be?
“Of color” seems to be the buzz phrase of the hour. Can’t but wonder if the media has gotten their marching orders again in using it.
Excuse me, but didn’t the President say “if you don’t like it here... go back where you came from?” He didn’t say “ You are brown and not like me, so you should go back where you came from.”
Racist?
Either some folks are not getting an education, or they just aren’t getting better than D minuses on the way to graduation.
President Trump must have re-Tweeeted the Cortez charge that Pelosi is a racist.
So that must be the "racist tweet" the enemedia is talking about.
Must be.
Did they actually READ Trump’s tweets, or just the articles claiming they were racist?
His tweets were bit racist.
The squads tweets in the other hand ARE and are not only approved but being applauded by more Democrats.
Projection continues apace
Oh there it is again, the "of color" description for people who aren't caucasians.
Seeing a lot of that lately, from the color nazis. Never mind that caucasians do have skin pigmentation. It's "no color for you", caucasians.
Gwinnett County is the only county in Georgia where
the law requires bi-lingual ballots on election day.
He said he wanted cream in his coffee, the media screamed he had something against black coffee so he must be racist.
Certainly looks that way.
Big Media now identifies Caucasians as colorless people.
And if they had walked into that restaurant, called everyone present rednecks, and demanded to be served items that weren’t on the menu for free, there would have been nothing racist about them being told to leave
in trashing President Trump is not a wise thing.....research, research, research. Omar has willfully broken the law...news papers like this one is letting her get away with it....all four Jihadists have lied about their country and their POTUS....Brenda, you are being lied to....are you a Socialist? I am an American and I resent people who trash our Constitution and tell lies about President Trump....calling everyone a racist if they don't agree with you....are you one of these?
Troubled, get over yourself, like you are somebody
