If 3 out of 10 hispanics/latinos and about 1 out of 10 blacks and a minority of gays voted FOR Trump, why protest against them? Why squash their voice? Why shove them to the back and discount their views?

Whos protesting against them?

All the protests going on. Pick one. Trying to squash the minority vote within the minority communities. Hypocrisy at its finest.

My apologies... I did not read your OP correctly.

I do not understand why they are protesting either. I understand that they do not like him. They did not vote for him (I didn't vote for him either). They are mad that they lost. I understand all that. But they need to learn that you win some and lose some in life. I really think this is the participation-trophy generation coming to fruition, I guess it should have been expected to a extent.

Even though I didn't vote for Trump (and not Hillary, just to be clear), I am not anti-Trump. We should give him a chance with a blank slate. Just like we did with Obama and Bush before him. If Trump sucks, Ill help them vote his ass out of there in 4 years.

Trump cannot destroy this country in 4 years.

So because 15% of minorities voted for Trump, somehow he's a legitimate representative of minorities?

Whatever.

They are protesting his racist supporters and DJT, who entered politics as a pure racist (Obama isn't legitimate because he's a Kenyan).

We're arguing that DJT's legitimacy is flawed because of the fact that he didn't get as many votes as anyone else. Not racism. Call it 'one man - one votism' if you'd like.

So the views of that 15% should be marginalized because they didnt fall in line?

They aren't marginalized.. they had fewer votes but gain more power.

So they voted against their own well-being?

You whining like all of these protesters is why Trump got so much support.

I get the feeling that Tom would like nothing better than to see some gays and Latinos/hispanics and Blacks get swept under the rug. I see him squashing their voice and marginalizing them if he had the chance. I can see him say they aren't "real" gay.

So you would say that if Hillary won with 20% of the vote of white southerners (which is typical for Democrats in the Deep South), she would not be their legitimate representative?

That would be the lead on CNN.

No. I wouldn't. The OP is trying to claim that because DJT had one or two minority supporters, that he's somehow immune to racism charges.

No. I'm claiming that the minority dismisses and tries to squash the minorities within their own constituency.
NOTHING is worse than a LGBT voting for Trump. Nothing is worse than a black person voting for Trump. Within the black community they voted Democrat before their own religion. Call the Trump supporters Uncle Tom.

Sad.

Millions of minorities supported Trump, but it is okay to write them off. Since they dont fall in line.

Don't want to be a part of a community, then vote for people who sh*t all over the community. Simple. Don't take the advantages created by people that you worked against.

Friggin' Peter Thiel and the bareback Isreali porn guy never did squat for us. They don't support our goals and frankly put themselves above everyone else.

Gays and other minorities do have extra expectations of people who claim to be part of our community. You're expected to understand our issues, because you might face them too. Someone like Peter Thiel knows what the discrimination does, but he doesn't care because it doesn't impact him. Then he can hang out with a bunch of billionaires for all I care. I've actually met Thiel before. I was polite, but I was short as I could be and just avoided him for the rest of the evening. Wasn't that hard.

There are conservative Gays that are part of the community. But you have to stand up for the community at some point against the bigots.
