Have you ever had the withholding of respect, status, honor, attention, the benefit of the doubt, or human kindness based on your skin color? It's certainly not something I have experienced to any significant degree, but blacks have to deal with patterns of social order like this that have been in place for so long that to most of us, it looks like the natural order of things.

I have a hard time believing that the blacks I know plus the blacks I've read who talk about the systemic social challenges they face are all suffering from self-delusion, or worse yet actively propagating a leftist lie.  I believe them.  Do I think that BLM and other activists over-play their hand?  Yes I do.  But that does not make the underlying issue a lie.

I think the larger point is Darian is that anyone who has followed Trump the last four years knows that he is perfectly capable of saying these kinds of things because he has said them in public! We have it on video no less; many examples. It's an entirely believable story, given that Trump did call John McCain a loser, despite his denials. We already know that Trump has no respect for anything other than how he can use it for a political prop. The question is not did Trump say these things; he has; the question is how many different ways has he spoken it and to who?

Thanks for the link Darian.  It is interesting that Joel Pollack notes that in the article, that Vote Vets, a left wing Trump hating group just happened to have a commercial about this whole coordinated effort, ready to go the very next morning after the article appeared on Thursday night.  

Coincidence??  I think not.

Did you see Trump's labor day press conference? When asked about disparaging veterans as losers and suckers, Trump dodged the question and went on to accuse the Pentagon leaders of being war profiteers. Then when asked about the Atlantic story, he claimed he couldn't drive to the cemetery, seemingly unaware that other world leaders went to the cemetery by car.
