Washington Post: People voted for Trump because they miss when America was more white

They'll never stop this. I guess it's just a fact of life. The left-wing mainstream media are obsessed with race. The very people who point their fingers endlessly at conservatives and call us racists see a racial angle to every thought, every action and every reaction that ever happens on Earth.

So no one should be surprised that the Washington Post decided to publish a story yesterday, claiming on the flimsiest of evidence, that Trump voters were motivated by nostalgia for the good old days in America, when there weren't all those durn minorities around.

You know that's not why you voted for Trump, and so do I, but don't bother trying Post writer Sarah Pulliam Bailey. She knows you spend your nights dreaming of putting on that white hood and sheet, and setting a cross on fire:

The Washington Post and these liberal clowns are going to have this BS backfire on them.


It already has. On Nov 8.

And it will continue to.

No one believes the Big Lies of Big Media anymore.

“People voted for Trump because they miss when America was more white”

From a farming perspective, people are tired of the playing victim, trouble causing, attention grabbing, constantly crying, and whining Democratic Party and want to dispose of them. Time to cull the herd.

The pigs are no longer running the Animal Farm.

“White” here being a code word inserted for “Western Civilization”.

It was undoubtedly a better country when it adhered to the norms of Western Civilization.

They’re still pulling the race card, eh. More to do with religion and morality.

I think a lot of minorities would agree with that.

In the 50s, there were a lot more 2-parent black families. These was less crime in America. Blacks did not have to live in fear in their own communities. I believe the black literacy rate was much higher too.

Yeah, but she was married to “the first black president” that excludes her. Hey, when 13% of the NYT staff is back and another 15% is Hispanic we will listen to them. Until that time they are just buffoons for the rest of the country to laugh at.

Hey, how dumb do you have to be to know the country despises the media and yet they keep on spewing their verbal diarrhea

White people want the same thing everyone else in the world wants. They want to live around White people!

The Great Society helped convert a significant segment of the population into a permanent underclass, but it did not directly affect previous policies of merit-based, sponsored, primarily Euro-centric immigration.

But, you’re right, the Great Society was a disaster—reparations in all but name, and very destructive.

Add in Ted K’s legislation, and the mid-60’s gave us a major double whammy.

WAPOis owned by Bezos/Amazon
Brennan/CIA gave Bezos/Amazon a $600 million contract.... for what?
Keep in mind he only paid $300 million for the left wing rag...
Maybe Trump can cancel the contract...
Now remember it was the WAPO that broke the news based on an unidentified leak from (Brennan) CIA...
This demands an investigaiton...

WAPO / PRAVDA of the libtards

When conservatives look at the great things in the past to make happen again, we think
* American leadership
* Technical & business innovation
* Each generation doing better than the previous
* Improving standard of living for ALL
* Desegregation & equality for ALL

When liberals consider what made the past great, they think
* Slavery
* Jim Crow laws
* Segregation
Things republicans got rid of and don’t want to bring back. Democrats seem to want to bring these “great” things back, just with different names (globalization, entitlements, identity politics, Obamacare/obamaphone/free stuff for voting D)

In my book, the important factors contributing to sociological decline, financial ruin, government fiscal policy bend over backwards to keep race out of the equation in determining benefits and such, but the starting goal was to affect as many people of color as possible, I’ll give you that.

However, the actual numbers for, say, SNAP in my particular county is about 20% on SNAP. We have a 1% black population.

I’m not saying race doesn’t matter. Much of the government’s programs try to bias toward blacks - HBCUs for examples and minority set-aside contracts, etc. But the really big, big spending/entitlement programs (Section 8, SNAP, SSI, SSDI, TANF, AFDC, and utility and phone assistance) are color blind. And I can tell you a hell of a lot of whites partake of that fruit. It is very plainly evident in my county, and this is what is breaking us as a nation.

Wonder if Rachel Maddow and all of the rest if the White Talking Heads would still whistle the White Racist Tune, if they were told that their jobs would all be given to blacks and other minorities, for the sake of diversity??? Chances are they would all show their true colors and raise the roof and condemn blacks and all minorities as racist for taking their jobs?

The destruction of the family and of our educational system. Gangs replace families and give young men a sense of belonging they don’t have at home. If you can’t read or write then you will become a criminal. Simple really.

“Do these idiots forget that Hillary Clinton is white?”

Yes, but she’s married to “the first black president!”

I have a tour guide for Washington D.C. from 1910. On the rear cover is a full page ad for the Washington Post. The ad lists the advantages of reading and advertising with the paper. Prominently; and in bold type it proclaims, “Delivered to 75% of the white homes in Washington D.C.”

Cornel West. LOL

Excuuuuse me - Doctor Cornel West. The guy who thought making a rap video was a publication and got in a snit because Larry Somers gave him a hard time about it and said it wasn’t acceptable at an academic institution.

The left is scared to death that president Trump will win over minorities with policies that are beneficial to all working men and women. Liberals don't care about black people or white people, they only care about greed and power. If president Trump brings more prosperity to America the democrats are finished.

There is no evidence America is better with less whiteness, except the NBA.
