    For the record I don’t know of any Trump supporters who paint swastikas, attack Asians and slur people.

    I actually believe you. I just don't get why you wrote that in the context of the discussion

    If you watched certain news outlets you would be thinking America was so racist! People with swastikas, people attacking Asians and slurring one another. Of course there are some people that do this but it doesn’t represent what the country typifies.

    Would you apply the same principle to the way minorities are painted by certain media outlet?

    @minimus, explain what I am asking? Which comment are you referencing?

    If someone supported Trump and had a Nazi symbol, does that suggest that Nazis and Trump were in bed together? If you say not necessarily, than what’s your point?? If a guy shoots a bunch of Republicans at a baseball game. I’m not going to suggest that the guy represents all Democrats.

    Oh I see,

    You made a good point about the media exacerbating things by portraying what some Trump supporters might do or might not do. My comment is about applying the same principle to the way the media also portrays minorities just to get people riled up and increase viewership.
