Let me guess.. he “identifies as” black? Both his parents were mixed race, white and African-American.

I am offended by the word, ‘reckless’. As a safe driver, I haven’t had an accident in over 45 years!

The Butterfield effect, named after the headline "Prison occupancy up despite lowered crime rates"...
At least Trump didn't say "Niggardly" OH NOES!

I have the same tough feelings when I hear the words “black caucus”...a reminder to me of slavery. It should be banned along with the Confederate flag.

“A tweet posted by Donald Trump on Tuesday, in which the Republican presidential nominee said he had been removed from “shackles,” was met with criticism by the head of the Congressional Black Caucus.
“The moment an African-American hears the word ‘shackles,’ it’s reminiscent of the era of slavery,” Democratic Congressman G.K. Butterfield said in an interview with The Hill.”
Oh, good grief... it’s 150 years ago... get over it!!!!!!

I am getting so sick of negros trying to reshape American speech. If they value their African roots so much, let them return ‘home’ and start their own country.

Let the Africans beat their drum. This is the sum total of their inventiveness.

His name had the word "Butter" in it. The slaves were forced to churn butter, we're they not?
He's a racist.

He identifies with black whenever he applies for minority set-aside contracts.
He also appears to have eaten a whole lot of soul food.
To: kevcol
so saying shackles is reckless but his hitler mustache is okay?

A quick search reveals dozens of a bible verses featuring the word “shackles,” so nice try, Butterfield. According to these professional activists, everything is about them if they want it to be be. Anything to keep the slaves on the plantation so the poverty pimps keep earning extra privileges from Massah.
To: kevcol
Okay....Trump said he was removed from shackles. That would be the shackles that the uniparty keeps on all US citizens. Blacks can remove their shackles, too, if they vote for Trump.
Why the heck would they complain about a pol who promises to end the slavery that the elite impose on them?

"The moment an African-American hears the word 'shackles,' it's reminiscent of the era of slavery,"Then they need to broaden their minds about that term. It's very commonly used.

TRUMP is right. He and we REPUBLICANS have been slaves to the GOP Establishment. Someone has to do something about it.
