I remember when that Maine moron said that. RWNJs are so out of touch with reality.
So you think it's okay they impregnate young women before they leave town?

Just curious when have you heard white people use the word pimp unless it's a compliment like "that dudes a pimp"?
Edit: I know this is a sign I'm getting old but do young kids still even use that word?
These are things the right is built on. They justify them by spinning or twisting what they really men so it can fly with the mainstream.
A white person feels better hearing we will execute drug dealers rather than we will murder all niggas on the street.
They have been twisting their true agenda for decades, and it's worked. It's why we have millions of Black men in prison and millions more unaccounted for.
can't pimps, thugs, welfare queens be white just like the drug dealers are?......
dim-witted and boring posters.
Pimp, one of my New Year's Resolution was to not respond to people who do not react to what I actually wrote, but react to what they imagine or wished I had wrote.
Which also has the side benefit of me not having to interact with dim-witted and boring posters.
My gawd.....I can't believe this is what you came back with.
Never a compliment in any crowd I ever hung with.
I was introduced to the stereotype of the black pimp from television - Huggy Bear, on Starsky and Hutch I think was the first, preposterous stereotype I can remember.
I can not speak to whether 18 year olds are familiar with the stereotype of the black pimp.
Growing up in Oakland we used to have the Pimp of the Year contest held locally.
When I was in school calling someone a pimp was a compliment. Too Short labeled one of his albums Shorty the Pimp
Okay, I will take your word for the context of Pimp in your Oakland hood.
I have never known Pimp to be a compliment among my peers, family, friends, and colleagues.
And I sure as shit am sure that "Pimp" is not thought of as complimentary to the Rightwing's elderly, socially conservative, rural white base of support.
My real belief is Trump's comment about killing drug dealers is beyond stupid that it hurts the brain. As President you don't make that kind of statement, you just don't. (drug dealers are selling poison to our communities but that's because we choose not to legalize drugs and there is demand for the product). As someone else stated it would also have to include killing heads of big pharma companies.
If we want to be real, there are more white drug dealers than any other race or ethnicity in this country. What TTQ64 will call racist, but is fact, is that more P.O.C. deal on street corners in lower income neighborhoods. The white drug dealers in middle class and upper income neighborhoods aren't selling on the street. You have very few turf war murders in higher income communities. That's really neither here nor there regarding Trump's statement but it's just reality.
You make my point.
I rest my case.

Bill Clinton, a Democrat, along with a Democrat led Congress signed a crime bill that put more black men in jail than any other legislation.
I'll repeat. A Democratic President, along with a Democratic Congress, signed a crime bill that put more black men in prison than any other legislation.
yeah, Just say No. that works huh? Nancy Reagans idea.
Throughout American history we have always been wrong about how to handle the drug problem. Now we have a far worse problem than the old days of weed. Doctors over prescribed pain killers. It was easy, easy big money. the drug companies paid doctors off to keep doing it. Then when we finally recognized the damage we we were doing, we made doctors stop giving them after awhile. But the patients were addicted. They discovered they could satisfy their needs with crack and heroin. This mess was created by doctors and Pharm. They should pay for the treatment facilities.

I can see the racist angle, because words like "pimp", "thug", "welfare queen", and "drug dealer" are all the same variety of dog whistle - irrespective of the truth.
Racism aside, this also highlights the authoritarian nature of Drumpf and his gun humping sycophants. A civilized western liberal democracy does not use the power of the state to execute, except sparingly and rarely for capital murder offenses. This isn't Nazi Germany or Stalinist Russia.
