In case you needed further proof that “representation” is not liberation.

      White people would pay to see black performers in the 50s, but wouldn’t let them use the same water fountains or building entrances.

      You can be a bigoted prick while still employing people you’re bigoted against.

        Donald Sterling, the racist former NBA team owner is a recent example

          What don’t you like? It’s an example of “having a black friend doesn’t make you not racist” in the same way that “hiring a gay man doesn’t make you a friend of gays”. Trump has already indicated that he will (again) disallow trans people in the military.

          You ever hear somebody use the phrase “he’s one of the good ones?” Because I get the feeling trump uses it quite a bit. Besides - it’s obvious Trump cares more about loyalty than he does ideology. Even Hitler had a homosexual in his organization at the start.

              Fine - then compare it to Hitler with Ernst Röhm then.

      Looks like you are projecting your spinning head onto others.
