That is a compilation of somebody's opinions, not an exact word for word of her speech. Also I'd argue that her calling for the destruction of America is more of a metaphor than anything. I would guess that it's on the same level as the "death to America" chants in Iran, that don't literally mean that, but are referring to US policies that hurt regular Iranians.

We had a local candidate for Congress run on the platform of defunding the VA and tossing veterans out on the street because making taxpayers pay for their medical care was theft. People who are gadfly candidates say crazy things. Like this guy. I'm sure you can find all kinds of weirdos who have extreme views that few people agree with. The city I live in had a lady run for city council twice using her made up European familial title, and that because she was a board member of her HOA, that gave her requisite experience. She finished in last place.

I read the speech. Honestly I don't see anything in it that calls for the destruction of America, or anything all that radical, besides calling for an end to colonialism. Which in the context of being Native American like she is, sounds like something that's been said by many others before her. And the truth is, the US government really screwed most of them over for a long time. Wanting the past wrongs to be corrected isn't too out of line. We did it, or tried anyway, after Japanese internment. We've made a half assed attempt with Natives. As far as Trump not being racist because he hangs around other rich people? Ben Carson got where he is because he had a lot of help and support from the same social safety net that Trump, and Carson, both abhor. As far as Herschel Walker, Trump wouldn't have given him the time of day if Walker wasn't a superstar athlete. The guy isn't exactly the brightest bulb, the old joke about whether he could or couldn't spell cat if you spotted him the c and the t is a lot closer to reality than not. I don't need to have met somebody to think they are racist. The very public past actions and public statements tell the story. Do I need to have met Strom Thurmond or Pat Buchanan to be able to have considered them racist? As usual a grade A clown show post from a boot licking apologist for a racist criminal.

So back to the topic at hand, which is the right's hatred/dislike of non white people. And how Trump's policies target them and his own past actions and statements show a long history that supports his words and actions. Namely how Trump launched his political career based upon a racist lie.

It's funny how Jimmy/Caivera has to reply to himself.

I'll just let this speak for itself. Because it's totally not racist. In the 1980s, Trump took his racism to Atlantic City. This is Donald Trump at his best. He cheated, coerced, filed bankruptcy, did anything he could to cheat people out of money. In the process, his racism came to the forefront in Atlantic City. Trump was accused of making his African-American employees move off the casino floor when he didn't want to see them, which was any time he came to the casino. One employee, Kip Brown, said: When Donald and Ivana came to the casino, the bosses would order all the black people off the floor. It was the eighties, I was a teenager, but I remember it: they put us all in the back. Trump was later fined $200,000 by the New Jersey Casino Control Commission for that act of disgusting racism. In the 1990s, John O'Donnell, the former president of Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino, wrote a book about his time working with Donald Trump. O'Donnell reported that Trump frequently denigrated African Americans. He remembers a lot, but he specifically remembers Trump saying of his accountants: I've got black accountants at Trump Castle and Trump Plaza. Black guys counting my money! I hate it. The only kind of people I want counting my money are short guys that wear yarmulkes every day. How about that? I've got black accountants at Trump Castle and Trump Plaza. Black guys counting my money! I hate it. Those are words from Donald Trump's mouth. The only kind of people I want counting my money are short guys that wear yarmulkes every day. That is what he said. Speaking of another African-American employee, Trump told O'Donnell: I think the guy is lazy. And it's probably not his fault because laziness is a trait in blacks. It really is. I believe that.

When will the wrestling community admit there's a problem?

Call the whaaaaaambulence! Somebody hurt Wee Willy's feelings! -
That's like saying you aren't racist because you have black friends.
-
Jimmy is the kind of guy who can't articulate himself clearly so he just yells and points a lot.
-
That doesn't prove anything.
-
What exactly would you say is libelous? That Trump doesn't like minorities? His words and actions for decades paint a less than flattering picture of that for him. I mean it's not like he has ever apologized for the Central Park 5 incident.

I think the link I provided mentioned who said it.

You going to sue me? Go ahead.

Why did it take Caitlyn Davis so long to speak up? Why did a national championship winning coach resign in the middle of the night and skip town? It's also hard for colleges because do they want to admit they hired somebody like that and damage their reputation, not just for wrestling, but for everything? I bet that less than half the people who post here couldn't tell us that coach's name without reading about it or looking it up. But SOU protected their brand. So that's why things like this happen. -
That's not the point. The point is the racism and dislike of Natives. You don't have to say we didn't kill enough to show your dislike of them.

Trump isn't exactly a fan of them either. "In 2000, he and Donald Trump went after an Indian casino in upstate New York that was stealing business from (aka competing with) Trump's casino in Atlantic City. So they set up a fake "family values" group and ran a series of racist ads against Native Americans, calling the Mohawk tribe a bunch of crooks by falsely linking them to organized crime. Donny and Roger's punishment? A $250,000 fine."

Oh look it's somebody who has an opinion that doesn't matter. How nice. -

That isn't what I was getting at. We have a problem with ignoring things that coaches or good wrestlers do because of who they are. We have things like this going on where nobody really steps up to say anything because of who he is. https://www.lehighvalleylive.com/news/2015/08/cuvo_im_100_percent_not_guilty.html People in the wrestling world are very forgiving of very good wrestlers and coaches. -
Not that the far right really has to hide their dislike of minorities anymore.... https://www.yahoo.com/news/ann-coulter-draws-outrage-over-013656786.html?guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAGsFikWVWcdzBFyZXFOkAFlsdouaTRs8nGB8I0oVE3SWuO9Mb8qVjduPrmfn2onQZU7F_UGbL9IHnTbrufOJ0Kdo__U1w1ZXfD9RToJLklXIxHCSI6duqELBh_Mk9esuiWx-87SJArZJHUf0H1vOr9aDgXX4W-LY3Uwsr_jfdXbR

She did. Under oath. In front of Trump's lawyers.

Does she deserve taxpayer money / welfare?

If it is why didn't Trump sue over it? He's particularly litigious. He's sued people for a lot less.

Don't be so obtuse. One of them testified under oath about it, so it's not like there is any doubt about it.

It's a satirical website. It's not something that really happened.
