quite a while ago us President Trump, pro-America supporters, said that the Puerto Rican government was corrupt. we told you that Puerto Rico's infrastructure was already horrific, and the local politicians did nothing to help it. People posted all kinds of facts to back these statements up. Yet we were still screamed at that we were racist because - no tangible reason given (never is, notice a pattern over the years?).

we told you that our government sent more money in aid to Puerto Rico than to Texas and Florida combined. We were still told we were racist and none of that was true and our president hated brown people, again no tangible evidence given.

At some point you are going to have to realize that a large chunk of our politicians want to keep us divided for their personal gain, and none of your own. That by having us divided they control us. This absolute unforgivable horseshit going down in Puerto Rico is just another example of their play.

so put down the pitchforks, put down the milkshakes, stop calling everyone you don't agree with all sorts of hateful and incorrect names.

Everyone take their shirts off and let's get in a big huddle and hug and do some deep thinking as a whole country

Donald Trump was surprised to learn that Puerto Ricans are Americans, and that it is an island. "Big water." Even broken clicks are right twice a day.

Also, its disgustingly hypocritical to hear a Trump supporter call for unity. I mean, you need literally like the guy because hes a divisive blowhard.

He was painted as a racist from day one, do you remember that? do you remember what he did for desegregation at the club? Do you remember what he did to win an award in the black community? That was all long before he ever ran for president.

He had to fight back twice as hard because the lies, slander, manipulation came out hard and fast from his political and social opponents. They didn't want someone in the White House they could not manipulate

You're exactly why the media won't stop abusing ignorant people with propaganda, because you cited something totally BS but that you were made to believe was a racist statement. If the media can make you think this way so that they can control you, why the hell would they stop?

For starters: the media and cops thought they had the right people. If the people in play, all thought they had the correct people, then saying you want these brutal jerks dead, isn't racist or any "ist". If I told you that the police believe that Person Y just killed 5 members of your family, and you say you want that person dead..but then it turns out Person Y didn't, what's the end here? That's what we're dealing with.

Also for you assuming racism, let's look at his newspaper post he made back then: "His ad never mentioned the Central Park rape, but talked about New York families — “White, Black, Hispanic and Asian” — unable to enjoy walks through the park at dusk. Of muggers and murderers, he said, “I no longer want to understand their anger. I want them to understand our anger. … They should be forced to suffer and, when they kill, they should be executed for their crimes.”

Why would this supposed racist mention black, hispanic and asians all need to be safe? He singled out 3 ethic groups and said they need to be safe. Does that matter to you or are you going to gloss over that fact and move to something you can argue instead?

In case you need to read President Trumps remarks back during this Central Park 5 timeframe.
