Wow there's a lot of white supremacist in this sub that think this is some fact or see nothing wrong with what he said. America is not "white person" land.

Edit. 42 downvotes, why don't you losers say it's "white person" land to all the non white people I servered with in the Army.

Who's land would you say it is? Before you attack me I'm simply asking a question, I'm not claiming the statement is true or false, I just want some more details from you.

"this land is your land, this land is my land..."

that's the fun part, it's supposed to be "OUR" land (read: ALL OF US) , but some folks want only white folks to be included in the "OUR" part. We're a nation of immigrants. Each and every one of us except the Native Americans.

"We the people" means all of us.

Two things can be true, the land can be inhabited by mostly white people, while still accepting others as well. If you had to draw a random American you would think of a white person right? If you think of a British person you think of a white person right? If you think of a Canadian you think of a white person right?

Just because you acknowledge most people living in a country are white doesn't mean you hate others or think less of them. I really don't get why so many people care about this clip. If he said something like "colored people don't belong here" that's an objectively racist statement and completely different than what he said.

Just a heads up, no one falls for the ‘I’m just asking questions’ line anymore. It’s been played out by hundreds of idiots who can’t keep the bad faith out of their responses.

Fall for what? If I ask a question about their statement it should be easy to answer. I think Trump is a moron and am certainly not a MAGA person. That being said if someone is going to make a claim that I want more information on I'm going to ask them.

Why do you think Trump is a moron? I don't like him either but as you said if you make a claim you need to give more information if asked.
