I know this is what people are saying, I don't know you can squeeze much more out of it than "he knows this could provoke racial animus and either wants that or doesn't care". She deserves the criticism, shame things are so bad it takes the Commander-In-Chief to do it.
Weird that it was instantly recognized as grotesquely racist by GOP lawmakers and the White House but yet your opinion is identical to their post-hoc rationalizations, even including the absurd lie that he made any attempt to stop that chant.
Weird that I read the tweets myself and they were not only fine but welcome to a degree, because Cortez and especially Omar are assholes protected by the media. And I never said he stopped the chants, just that he indicated displeasure and moved on without joining in.
But here's an interesting point:
No idea how the EEOC relates to the presidency, if at all, but Trump is violating their anti-bias guidelines almost to the letter. The chant was preceded by an anti-Omar rant read off the Teleprompter, so you can maybe reasonably accuse him of making calculated appeals to racism on that basis.
But who is post author Eric Sparkes?
The lesson is: you can try and protect against overt expressions of racism with a wide no-go zone and still end up with profoundly dysfunctional racial politics. People were pretty good at distinguishing real from fake racism until the years before Trump became the Republican nominee. That's why I don't have a problem with his criticisms. They have merit, and when you allow everything to be called racist, you corrupt the planet. |
