Why wont liberals answer this question

[Captdon]

Why would you say sad? Sadness infers sympathy.
The questioner knows exactly what Trump is and what he does. He agrees with Trump's actions wholeheartedly.
Scornful of the evidence is the phrase I would choose.

The evidence is what is being asked for and not given.

[Captdon]

It does in the case of a real racist/antisemite like )))Mark(((, why, because everyone sees it and contributes in chasing him off. In your case, you cry wolf way too much.

Safety was MIA on that guy.

Confirmation bias.

Racism is so ingrained in American culture that people don't even realize when they are being unconsciously racist. American history, media, and institutions have consistently produced negative images of people of color or different cultures. Americans have been exposed to harmful ideas about people of color and/or nonwestern cultures for generations and as a result, associate them with negative traits.

What has Trump done to exacerbate this phenomenon? He has traded on the very stereotypes that have encouraged racism in America. By linking illegal Latin American migration with gang crime, even though criminals are a minute segment of migrants, reinforces negative stereotypes about Latinos. Similarly, Muslims have been portrayed as thieves and killers in the media as long as I can remember, so suggesting that they are all potential terrorists tends to reinforce that confirmation bias.

The result is that law-abiding citizens who happen to be ethnically associated with these negative stereotypes are now facing increased adverse perception and treatment. Legitimate immigrants are being treated like pariah and the sentiments of white nationalist/supremacist crowd have been given legitimacy from the highest office in the land.

Nonsense.

Nonsense.

Unsurprising.

Racism is innate. It is part of who and what we are.

A white child looks at a picture of a black child and says she's bad because she's black. A black child says a white child is ugly because he's white. A white child says a black child is dumb because she has dark skin.
This isn't a schoolyard fight that takes a racial turn, not a vestige of the "Jim Crow" South; these are American schoolchildren in 2010. http://www.cnn.com/2010/US/05/13/doll.study/index.html

“We know that by preschool, children show in-group bias concerning race ..."

"... when people are the same race as the baby, the baby will choose their playmates based on fairness."

“Babies are sensitive to how people of the same ethnicity as the infant, versus a different ethnicity, are treated – they weren’t just interested in who was being fair or unfair ... It’s interesting how infants integrate information before choosing who to interact with, they’re not just choosing based on a single dimension.”

... this research does not mean that babies are racist. “Racism connotes hostility,” she said, “and that’s not what we studied.”

[I don't think of racism as hostility. I do think we seem to be so stuck in the '60's that we are rotting in it.]

STUDY: White People Think Men With 'Black-Sounding' Names Are Scary.
“I’ve never been so disgusted by my own data.”

In a study by the University of Texas, Austin, parents were shocked at the racism exhibited by their children.

They wanted their children to grow up colorblind. But Vittrup's first test of the kids revealed they weren't colorblind at all. Asked how many white people are mean, these children commonly answered, "Almost none." Asked how many blacks are mean, many answered, "Some," or "A lot." Even kids who attended diverse schools answered the questions this way.

More disturbing, Vittrup also asked all the kids a very blunt question: "Do your parents like black people?" Fourteen percent said outright, "No, my parents don't like black people"; 38 percent of the kids answered, "I don't know." In this supposed race-free vacuum being created by parents, kids were left to improvise their own conclusions—many of which would be abhorrent to their parents.

Vittrup hoped the families she'd instructed to talk about race would follow through. After watching the videos, the families returned to the Children's Research Lab for retesting. To Vittrup's complete surprise, the three groups of children were statistically the same—none, as a group, had budged very much in their racial attitudes. At first glance, the study was a failure.
