The problem being these Trump supporters happen to be a couple of African-Americans females.

Its OK Andy....I am used to having my posts misread and misinterpreted !

The fact that these two black Americans women have made these comments isn't significant in any way....its just their opinion. They went on to say that because black Americans voted for Trump, that is why he is now the POTUS.

But to suggest that they represent all black Americans IS stupid. They represent only themselves.

[jackthehat]

'Unlikely duo support Trump'......Not much of a story, really.
And certainly not enough of one from which to extrapolate that Trump enjoys the wholesale support of African-American females.

mushroom25 - ////they don't appear to be the brightest fireworks in the box, as can be seen from their answer to the first question.//

that's someone being called stupid in my book - what other meaning can be ascribed to that colloquialism? //

As I have posted to Naomi, I don't want to get bogged down in analysing the language of posts at the expense of their meanings, but in my view, using a colloquialism takes a deal of the sting out of saying that someone is 'stupid' which is quite a harsh and derogatory observation - but I am sure Mikey will defend himself on this point if he wishes.

[naomi24]

andy-hughes, I haven't attempted to analyse the minutiae of your observations.

[andy-hughes]

AOG - //How the left can alter their views, ever since Trump came on the scene they have told us that Trump is is both racist and a feminist, yet here we have two black females who support him, and judging by what they say they are not on their own. //

Trump is a feminist?????????????????

Where on earth did you hear or read that???????????????????

[naomi24]

Mikey, //They represent only themselves. //

As clearly you represent only yourself.

[mikey4444]

Trump is a feminist ?

THUMP...sound of Mikey4444 feinting and falling to the floor in sheer disbelief.

[naomi24]

Mikey... and I didn't misread or misrepresent your post. You implied that they are stupid.

African American
African Americans
African Americans


They are Americans.


I know it *** lots off you off when I mention it ... but why say African Americans?

It's high time people stopped using the phrase (I've probably used it myself but in the past but I don't think it is right.

/// Ridiculing Davis for claiming "African-American's didn't vote for President Trump" the sisters hit back and said Trump is the President because the African-American citizens voted for
him. ///

I think that these two African-Americans are more in the position to speak for African-Americans than Davis could ever be.

Naomi - // Mikey... and I didn't misread or misrepresent your post. You implied that they are stupid. //

Reading a post, deciding in your own mind what it says, and then firing that back as though that is what it says is misreading and misrepresenting - both together.

An implication is not a statement.

[mikey4444]

"My President never says anything that is stupid"

Oh dear....these two women seem to have very short memories !

They are like most of Trumps supporters.....they simply ignore the inconvenient things about Trump, and carry on regardless.

[Samjenko]

Mikey called them thick. End of.

[andy-hughes]

Samjenko - //Mikey called them thick. End of. //

Wonderful irony!

You were being ironic ... weren't you ... ?

[mikey4444]

Sam....point in the direction of where I called these two women "thick" please !

Talbot....I am in complete agreement with you over the phrase African Americans. I try not to use it, preferring to use black Americans instead.

Mikey //.unfortunately, they don't appear to be the brightest fireworks in the box,//

Mikey usually approves of "duds", so perhaps it was tacit approval. :))

[Gromit]

Not difficult to comment on at all.

Black people are just as capable as white people of believing lies and acting stupid.

[Sqad]

To me, this IS worthy of comment by BOTH sides of the Trump encampment as the Black vote lost Hilary the election and probably won Trump the Presidency.
It would be like the Tories making inroads into Liverpool Walton o Birmingham Ladybird, but not convincing the whole of the labour stronghold.
8% more ore less, of the black vote went to the Republicans....which was significant and worthy of comment.

Oh dear mikey you are a little late with this one, I mean you did not spot my mistaken word until it was pointed out by your your fellow anti-Trumper, but then you are safer following your master when he takes you for a walk.

Mind you to be fair, it took him about 30 minutes to spot my mistake.

If you are going to be childish about bering picked up for your errors, then please do try to be accurate.

The time between your error and me pointing it out was three minutes, not thirty.

If you are going to get in the ring, make sure you are up to the fight.
