From the earliest days of his campaign, Donald J. Trump made keeping manufacturing jobs in the United States his signature economic issue, and the decision by Carrier, the big air-conditioner company, to move 2,000 of them from Indiana to Mexico was a tailor-made talking point for him on the stump.
On Thursday, Mr. Trump and Mike Pence, Indianas governor and the vice- president elect, plan to appear at Carriers Indianapolis plant to announce theyve struck a deal with the company to keep a majority of the jobs in the state, according to officials with the transition team as well as Carrier.

Bob, don't go there. A man's parentage is not of his choosing, and there is nothing better about being "purebred" than "mixed breed" when it comes to people. Saying "mixed breed" makes you sound like a racist and diminishes the rest of what you have to say.
This would be more true, and much stronger: Donald has done more to help the economy in two weeks than the commie "community organizer" has done in 8 years.
Adding the racial element diminishes your argument, and you. Best to avoid that.

And for those who would call me a racist, define racist.

Half-breed has a pejorative odor, you used it as a pejorative.
If one wrote of somebody that he's a "trailer-park dweller", that would not be a simple statement of fact about where he lives, it would be a pejorative.
To say somebody is a "half-breed commie" is to say that being a commie is bad, and being a "half breed" is bad.
Being a "commie" is bad. Living in a trailer park does not necessarily make you a bad person, but probably means you're poor. Being mixed race is good thing.

Truth Vic. God does not judge on skin color, therefore, nor should we.
In fact, God must love variety given we are His creation.

That is your opinion, not fact, it is simply your prejudices and preconceived option, nothing more nothing less.
It is impossible for anyone, including you, to tell how I am using a term or word when there is so very little context.
And your definition of racist that I would fit into?

Because of our ugly history, and fear of the other, mixed race in America is reduced to "half-breed", but "half breeds" are actually genetically superior, on average, to either whites or blacks.
They're also generally more attractive.
The more genetic variety, the stronger the species.

I have no idea whether or not you are actually a racist. I do know that if you call somebody you don't like a "half-breed commie", you've made a point to emphasize his race and his politics, in a critical light. If you're criticizing somebody for his race, you certainly sound racist, even if you're not.
