A deplorable is not an animal, its a human. It also not really a noun from what I can tell, but whatever. They just got made fun of in a gaff, not called monkey, rats or apes. | ||

Deploring is a thing a human does towards an act, actor or human created state of affairs which they condemn as being contrary to good or moral conduct. Nobody ever called a bad dog deplorable, I think sentience, either of the deplorable individual or of the people who allowed the deplorable thing, is probably a prerequisite because without it you can't really act in a shitty way. There is an implicit moral judgement there. Vermin means non human parasitic creatures which need to be exterminated. If you're at the point where you're calling black people vermin something has probably gone wrong. Which it has in the cause of xDaunt. He has clearly lost the plot since Trump became candidate. Deplorable recognizes the central humanity of the people who are deplorable or who are doing the deplorable things or who created the deplorable conditions by essentially arguing that they should know better. Rats don't come in good or evil, rats just come in rats, you just poison them. | ||

And more importantly, in the very speech where Clinton talked about the deplorables, she said half of Trump supporters are deplorable and half of them are just fed up with the system, and she said we should try and reach them. In the very speech that GGTemplar uses to create an equivalence between vermin and deplorable, Clinton demonstrates that she doesn't deserve to be associated with this through this equivalence by being specific about which people she thinks are deplorable: those who are attracted by the racist rhetoric. | ||

I thought you guys liked calling things as they are? I honestly don't care about Hillary calling Trump voters deplorables I think the entire thing is just standard run-of-the-mill fair political game on both sides. I just think it's hilarious watching the hypocrisy at work in her supporters here The criminals in that video are not acting like humans they are acting like violent animals attacking innocent people over irrational hatred and emotions If you don't want to get called an animal don't act like an animal. It has nothing to do with race. If the races in that video were reversed I don't think I would hesitate in calling the criminals monkeys or animals or vermin. It has nothing to do with their race and everything to do with how they're acting and what they're doing You're really trying to turn 'monkey' 'vermin' 'animal' into taboo insults because of political correctness? This thread is so fake. The criminals have become the victims and the innocents the criminals in this crazy crazy world we live in | ||

Talk about a bullshit semantics argument 'Let's stop our criticism of the violent criminals in that video to ensure we don't take our judgment of them too far. yes they're violent criminals but we don't want to hurt their feelings by calling them vermin because that's just uncivilized and cruel' Give me a break | ||

And before anyone jumps on this for the 12321511 time, It was wrong of her to say half. She should have said some or a few. Because that would be true. I believe everyone should be in agreement on that. It might even be half but erring on the side of caution in these sorts of statements is better. That was a mistake, one that may just have been semantic, but semantics matter and I believe she admitted she was wrong to say so. Not much more you can do beyond that. | ||

I'm not sure what discussion you were hoping to create by posting the video. | ||

I'd be very comfortable saying half. But yeah, she's doing politics, so you're right. | ||

I'm going to say those criminals are acting like fucking monkeys. I don't care if they're black or white. What they did was criminal How about how they dehumanized the human they just fucking assaulted? Do you give a shit about that? Honestly you people are absurd. I'll call anyone who acts like a monkey a monkey. It has nothing to do with race | ||

That secret language of KKK and your shitty racist uncle you saw at Christmas until you were like 10 and then he wasn't invited any more. Edit: And we have reached the height of the discussion: where the people pointing the racism are, in fact, the real racist. Good job guys, we went through discussions of racism on the internet 101 in record time. | ||

Change the color of their skin to purple or green, still animals that have abandoned their humanity. They are redeemable however, it would take some self reflection. We also saw you call white people monkeys every time they rioted against the labour law in France. Except we didn't. | ||
