Really your back at attacking my god awful grammar. I started learning to write in english just a few years back. You have already pointed this out, but you still fell the need to reply to some of my post, meaning you clearly understand what i am trying to say.
I wish my grammar was as good as yours seriously, but i wouldn't use it to double talk all the time, oh sorry there duke thats not what i meant lol.
Hey but thanks for reminding me my grammar sucks.
I do it because I know it triggers you there bud. I know you can handle it.

What has logic done to you people that you insist on just beating it over and over?
Let's start with one of your basic premises.
"Since majority of blacks voted for Obama based on race"
Please prove that before we move on.
Look at the numbers:

Nope, no racial bias to be found there. None at all! Never mind the Dem's framing everything around race the whole reason they tend to have minorities in their general voter bloc, even though they don't care any more about them than anybody else (people are just "human capitol" to the DNC).

I am pretty sure that Trumps words are in fact a reflection of HIS own thoughts...and if not then you have a taller mountain to surmount in defending him than the racism charge.
Put another way..if your defense of Trump is premised on everything that comes out of his mouth is a meaningless collage of words like a verbal Rorschach test for the listener to project upon..then I am not sure I would entirely disagree with you, but would argue a man only capable of provocative word-vomit might not be a good choice for President.
Of course they are a reflection of his thoughts. He is the one speaking them. But the meaning you give them, that they are racist, are a product of your own subjectivity instead of anything objective. That's what I'm saying.
The meanings I assign Trump's words are commonly found in Websters...not "subjective".
But I do follow the obvious defense you are employing...in as much as it is no longer socially acceptable to use the N-Word, both racists and critics are left to divine his full meaning.. True for Trump and true for all racists of our time. It's unsophisticated, but still racially-coded language.
Sidenote:
Did you know Woodie Guthrie, the famous Songwriter of "This Land is Your Land" once wrote a song about Trump's father 60 years ago, when Donnie was 10?
“He thought that Fred Trump was one who stirs up racial hate, and implicitly profits from it,” the scholar, Will Kaufman, a professor of American literature and culture at the University of Central Lancashire in Britain, said in an interview.
[The Lyrics]
I suppose
Old Man Trump knows
Just how much
Racial Hate
he stirred up
In the bloodpot of human hearts
When he drawed
That color line
Here at his
Eighteen hundred family project
www.nytimes.com...
Apple falling from the tree and history repeating itself and all of that...
Life can be funny in not funny ways..
Mrs. Clinton has made the struggles of her mother, Dorothy Rodham, a central part of her 2016 campaign’s message, and has repeatedly described Mrs. Rodham’s life story to crowds around the country. But her father, whom Mrs. Clinton rarely talks about publicly, exerted an equally powerful, if sometimes bruising, influence on the woman who wants to become the first female president. The brusque son of an English immigrant and a coal miner’s daughter in Scranton, Pa., Mr. Rodham, for most of his life, harbored prejudices against blacks, Catholics and anyone else not like him. He hurled biting sarcasm at his wife and his only daughter and spanked, at times excessively, his three children to keep them in line, according to interviews with friends and a review of documents, Mrs. Clinton’s writings and former President Bill Clinton’s memoir.

I don't care "how it looked" to you ... though you would have benefited from the hint I dropped regarding a specious argument.
You still attempted to make a ridiculous conclusion AFTER I clarified the obvious for you. That's on YOU.
Again, the topic here is what others (Klan members and White Supremacists) have said about Trump, not about his actual or supposed racism or what you think we think he thinks.
Your attempt at a clever segue has failed, utterly.
Stop digging.

Even Trump's apologies are better than that.
I look forward to you accepting Trump's clarifications in the future, and of course accepting it's on you if anything offends you.

Nobody here got offended, well maybe you and a few trump fans, so we got deflections, Hillary eats puppies for breakfast, fake outrage, cute memes, trump is misunderstood, the media made trump say it, just another day on ats.

I think the insinuation is that racists can only vote for a candidate to advance their racism, and not for, say, to improve the economy or to improve infrastructure. It's absurd.

Thanks for speaking for everyone, including me, LOL.
Personally I think it was quite offensive to intimate all Trump voters were white supremacists... but fortunately it's been clarified and I accept the clarification.

You mean, like his famous "Mexicans are rapists and criminals" remark? And his slurs against Jeb Bush's wife? His remarks about the Hispanic judge?
Here's nine remarks he made about Hispanics (who are Americans and who are counted as a race.)
