I'm sure Trump will do just as much as Obama did.

So I see that 'racist' has now been replaced with White Supremacist
Washington regarded The Black Man as inferior and degraded and only good for slavery.
I would call that " White Supremacy " wouldn't you ? Or does that not compute ?
Yes, it was White Supremacy and racism, by today's standards
But you have to look at the standards of 200 years ago to have a discussion about George Washington. Held up against those standards, it was the regular thinking of the day.
100 years before Abraham Lincoln's time.
Although Washington's ancestry was English, he didn't follow the examples of The English.
Slaves where never used in England or Great Britain.
Now Slave Traders, that is a complete different subject.
Oh, please do tell us about the examples of the Englsh of that time.
I will just leave this here.
surviving papers of George III’s third son, Prince William, Duke of Clarence (later William IV), who was the only member of the royal family to step foot in North America and the Caribbean while serving in the Royal Navy, help to shed light on the Crown’s perspectives on African slave trading and slavery in an era of revolutionary upheaval. In 1787, on a visit to Dominica, recaptured from France in 1783, Prince William saw colonial slavery first hand and noted the island’s importance as a slave trading base. “The trade in slaves at this island is very great owing to our supplying the French with that valuable commodity,” he observed in a private letter to George III

Also, Thomas Jefferson pushed the abolition of slavery in the declaration of independence. Your knowledge of history is lacking at best.
Dirty Little Secret
Slaves where never used in England or Great Britain.
Now Slave Traders, that is a complete different subject.
The video game thing, in my opinion, is a calculated effort to scapegoat, but we have seen that done with prior presidents.

Him saying that is absolutly ridiculas! Just an excuse to push the blame onto something else.

No, I don't think condemning white supremacy and hate is ridiculous.
I don't think it was necessary for the President to do, but that's a different matter.

Thank you for demonstrating exactly why no Trump supporters care what people like you say. Trump could sole world hunger and cancer and you would complain he didn't do it soon enough.
Speaking of not true, I am still waiting on those links.
So what I gather from your posts. Words matter, when you want them to. When someone you don't like says the right thing, it's only words and falls short of being enough from them. When they say the wrong thing, it's your proof.
Personally I don't care because I don't live in your country , it just saddens me to see what's happening to America under this pitiful administration. So sad.
