Also not sure if you are being sarcastic with the first part. 

But you do agree that Trump is a racist? 

Oh I'm definitely not denying the racists that support Trump (and that he plays to), just saying the other member probably took your comment as racism is all.

No sarcasm either

I think everyone is a racist at least once or twice a day without realizing it. If you assume an Asian is smarter than a white person you're racist. If you assume that a black person is more lazy than a white person you're racist. If you assume that only white people are racists then you are a racist. 

 

Racism is more than white vs all other races... its every race.

So its good to elect a leader who is against the system, but also against minorities? Because that reminds me of someone in the 30's.

Racism means that you believe your race is better than all other races. Believing an Asian is smarter than everyone else is not racist. When Trump says a Judge with Mexican heritage cannot do his job because "he is Mexican," that is racism. He assumes a white judge would be more fair.

So does Wikileaks want a Trump win or?

That's not the entire definition of racism, though that is a piece of the puzzle. You don't have to belive you race is better to be racist. Take Clintons "superpredator" comment.

No one is shocked. 

I wonder what they have on the RNC. 

They're forgetting about them. 

They aren't going to release anything on RNC, because they want them to win.

No one should be shocked. This is how it works on both sides, Republican and Democratic. There is no surprise of scandal here. 

[Sara 1,144]

Favoring someone for an ambassador position if they are a strong party supporter has happened in both parties.   I'm not saying it's right, I'm just saying this doesn't mean anything when it comes to Clinton vs. Trump. 

Trump is still a demagogue, and that's always more dangerous than typical political corruption.

The whole government is corrupted, not just the DNC. I still prefer Hillary over Trump, nothing will change that, but Jesus

Stuff like this seriously depress me.

For more than a century, U.S. presidents have often used diplomatic appointments to reward contributors, political operatives and other allies. Roughly 30 percent of diplomatic postings abroad go to political appointees over career Foreign Service officers. But with elections becoming increasingly expensive over the decades, the trend of rewarding donors with cushy appointments, both ambassadorships and high-level jobs at the State Department, has intensified.

The non-critical, "smaller" ambassadorships are given to wealthy people because it is also quite expensive to do all the social stuff (tons of dinners, parties) and the ambassador has to pick up the tab beyond a set allowance that isn't close to being enough.

President Obama's ambassadorial appointments have followed the same 70 percent career/30 percent political split as that of President George W. Bush. Since the 1970s, the appointment ratio has ranged between Gerald Ford's 62 percent career record and Jimmy Carter's high-water mark of 73 percent.
