The most glaring issue while reading your reply was the use of your word "blacks"

While i dont have enough time or energy to explain to you why using that term is offensive, i will save my breath and tell you this: address them as black people, Black Americans, or African Americans. If you are unable to use any of these terms or you continue to call them "blacks" after reading this, then you are the problem.

While i see your point, i must point out the flaws in your argument. You mentioned that you are gay. Why support Donald Trump if he continues to oppose the equality act? you said that the issue lies with the people, not the leaders. But don't you think the people would stop discriminating if they had a better leader? also, Trump's administration also attacked the Affordable Care Act's LGBTQ nondiscrimination protection. And although this rule has been put on hold due to a federal court stay, if approved, it could allow doctors and insurance companies to refuse care to LGBTQ people. Im sorry, how is this not homophobic? this rule would literally give health care workers the RIGHT to discriminate against gay people. The Trump administration might as well be posting a sign outside of the White House saying "I hate gays!!" Many homophobic doctors will pounce on this opportunity to discriminate against gay people, or possible even refuse their service. Its honestly sad to see gay people supporting Trump. Its kind of like gay people saying "oh yeah, im all for conversion therapy!!" The irony is hilarious. Donald Trump and other conservatives in power will not stop at their attempt to chip away at the rights of gay and LQBTQ+ people. It is up to us, the voters, to stop him. Me and you, we could make a difference. you just have to be willing to look at things from a different perspective. Also, im curious. What **** has Donald Trump gotten done while in office to considerably improve the lives of ALL Americans? and when i say all, i dont mean the rich, white upper class. I mean black people, brown people, asians, middle eastern people, gay people, trans people, queer people, indigenous people, and non-binary people.

Also, i would like you to elaborate on which of Bidens policies you say that he tiptoed around. Be specific and use examples. Dont worry, i wont be insulted.

Actually he supports gay and calling some one black is ok. Does it make me racist? No. Does owning 3 confederate flags for just my room make me racist? No.

 @8ML2ZY4 from Indiana  commented…5yrs5Y

I believe I have lost brain cells trying to comprehend what that sentence said. On the other hand I also believe that owning a confederate flag does make you racist. Another also, if Trump stays in office with Amy Coney Barret then us in the LGBTQ will loose our rights for adoption, marriage, healthcare, and doing military service.

 @8QS6KQGDemocrat from Michigan  commented…4yrs4Y

Owning a confederate flag is like owning a flag that says:

I Am A Racist B***h

 @9V3LT5J from Colorado  commented…9mos9MO

good, being gay or lesbian should not be a thing. god made it so there are only 2 genders male, female, xy, and x chromosomes. "science".

  @solo-von-kickpaw from Utah  commented…7mos7MO

what a cry baby

 @9RZ2X4XConstitution from Iowa  commented…11mos11MO

I am black, I don't think it is racist to own a confederate flag but to fly it publicly I find it highly offensive

 @96FDL42 from Missouri  commented…3yrs3Y

ooh babe no. Not the confederate flags 🤦‍♀️

 @9QTM4M7 from New York  commented…12mos12MO

Bullsh*t...Drumph doesn't support gay people, he calls them freaks and despises them just as much as he despises anyone who isn't white. He has every intention of taking away any rights they have gained on the past 20 years. There's a reason Drumph supporters like him...because he thinks like they do...like that old ignorant Uncle at your family picnics that the kids are told to avoid.

 @8PRSDMFRepublican from Texas  commented…5yrs5Y

Are you black? If you aren't, then stop getting offended for another race if you are, good for you.

 @8QVWDD7Democrat from Michigan  disagreed…4yrs4Y

I'm not black, and I don't get offended for them, I make statements when something is racist or unjust.

 @9856FRTRepublican  from Virginia  commented…2yrs2Y

I am black, and I don't think the term is "racist". When you try to say that something is offensive without being in the group you claim it offends, it is quite patronizing.

 @8PRSDMFRepublican from Texas  commented…4yrs4Y

yes that's the thing nothing is racist or unjust about this you [) ick head

 @9KZ5WSP from Illinois  commented…1yr1Y

what does this have to do with anything?

 @9LHWLNVfrom Guam  commented…1yr1Y

C'mon, calling someone black is not racist or offensive.

 @8N5QR5RRepublican from Utah  commented…5yrs5Y

I totally believe that and I myself has to fix that because I do say blacks. After reading this persons comment I should use it as african american because they should not be called blacks but as their real name because we should be proud to call them african american. They deserve to be recognized as such.

 @9HSK5NS from Florida  commented…1yr1Y

Is African-American a race? If so, what do you call black Canadians/Britons/Germans etc? The hyphen should be the key there, any hyphenation divides, not unites.

 @9QVL9KQRepublican  from Massachusetts  disagreed…11mos11MO

Facts

Firstly I must point out just because you talk while you type doesn’t mean you are talking to anyone. Second who would you rather vote for this election: Kamala Harris and Tim Walz? They are a couple socialists who are very radical(and very stupid). As for Trump being racist: He isn’t. This is a lie started by Hillary Clinton and the fake news media(name any of your favorite channels.) It was also spread by Biden after Charlottesville(he didn’t mean the racist white people, he meant the people that were trying to stop them.) Anyways go on voting for people that ruin our country but don’t share your opinion(because nobody cares).

p.s: Trumps economy remained stable. Look at the economy now and you will see the difference.

 @9LTVT5M from Idaho  disagreed…1yr1Y

Womp Womp Retigga

 @9RZ2X4XConstitution from Iowa  commented…11mos11MO

I am an African American myself and more times than not it is white people who get angry about the term used for our heritage as opposed to us getting offended, I don't care if you call me black or African American it is all the same to me, it is only a problem if you call me racial slurs or other prejudice names. I have always been annoyed by people thinking it is a problem to be called black, because most of the people who have a problem with it aren't of African heritage. I am only half black so maybe that is just me I don't know, but that is my opinion.

 @9QWBQBH from Mississippi  commented…12mos12MO

not even gonna lie what are you talking about? That's what they are???

 @9MK3K3H from Minnesota  commented…1yr1Y

Work on your grammar before you criticize somebody's opinion, *****

 @9KV589L from California  disagreed…1yr1Y

thats crazy, no comment on the use of the word gays? its the same thing smh

 @9HFK27X from Virginia  commented…2yrs2Y

Shut up the term blacks in refered to as skin color just as if a black man was to call a group of white people the whites, there should be no issue in a color.

 @8N4JNKF from Florida  commented…5yrs5Y

“Throw out everything you thought you knew about this election.”

By Chuck Todd, NBC News:We are getting awfully close to the moment when it might be fair to say, “Throw out everything you thought you knew about this election.”We are now going from a presidential campaign that left the public disinterested and at times disgusted it to a campaign that I could see generating an electorate that might be as interested, if not more so, as in 2008 and 2020, two of the highest-turnout elections in the last 50 years.If the Democrats do end up with a new nominee — and it’s looking more likely by the hour that they will — that, too, is likely to suddenly trigger interest in what the new nominee has to say, which in turn could engage the electorate in a way that the pre-debate version of this campaign just didn’t.But before we get to this campaign reset, the Democrats have to figure out what their ticket looks like and, more important, how quickly they can get their ticket selected and certified by the party.As of this writing, my sources indicate to me that about the only folks who are still trying to rationalize Biden’s staying in this race all share the last name of Biden, with the possible exception of Biden’s longtime chief political strategist, Mike Donilon — who, as the gatekeeper of the data that makes it to the president's desk, is starting to get blame along with Biden and his family for Democrats’ being in this position.
