Floyd was makin' some of the people in that room feel some kind of way.
He's rich so it's not a surprise he's ok with Trump (He might even know Trump from hosting his fights) but he does have a few good points.
A lot of folks that were asleep on politics woke up in a frenzy during this election & you have to wonder what all the reasons are for that...
At what point in the last decade or so was Trump not seen as a tacky rich moron? Practically the whole world's reaction to his candidacy announcement was that it had to be some sort of joke or elaborate trolling attempt. DoJ lawsuit, Central Park 5, birtherism, ... ?

Floyd saying no one was calling Don racist let's me know just how much he knows.
Decade? More like the past 30 years. He's always been seen as a classless clown with a taste for tasteless gilded objects and a butt-of-all-jokes hair transplant.At what point in the last decade or so was Trump not seen as a tacky rich moron?

His mental state and intellect seems to have degraded very significantly in the more recent years but that's not saying much.
Trump been known to be a moron for many years even in my country, prior to the election. It's not like he hasn't been pretty well known throughout and outside of the US for numerous years.Some may have seen him as tacky rich but that is different than the title of racist that Floyd spoke about.
It was known that Trump went bankrupt before but he hasn't been known specifically as a dimwit or moron for decades.
That is a new addition to the gimmick.
On a more serious note, Tyson sums up nicely a point I made earlier in this thread about people unable to appreciate scientific conclusions. They insist that their opinion is somehow still valid when it is at odds with reality.

Yes and no.How long has NT been up in arms over Donald Trump's racism? Not that long imo. Compared to his career as a celebrity.
Old newspaper clippings from the '70's being looked at for the first time by many in decades does not mean he has been
known as a racist for a long time.

However I think birtherism is what truly propelled him into the realm of a global laughing stock.

If somebody just became a klansman yesterday I'm not gonna ask when he bought his robes.
Saying "Oh but no one was saying it back in the 70s" isn't only incorrect, it's a pointless statement that proves or disproves nothing.
Yes. Being a klansman definitely denotes a racist.
Just how is reality defined in every situation though?
And of course there are perhaps things that are true in this universe that science can not prove. Things even above the scientific method.
I'm sure DeGrasse would not argue that though. In fact I've seen him admit such over the years. But that's not a political conversation.
to piggybank off this, people tried to make a similar argument about smoking and cancer for decades. that it just was too difficult to prove, etc etc.Had to unignore content to see this one. You don't really deserve a response with the incredibly childish way you attacked Belgium earlier in this thread, but...
Did you watch the video? The education system has an influence on people's ability to understand the scientific method and how it applies to the world around them.
At this point in time, around 97% of scientists whose field of study concerns global weather patterns, climate, anything you might directly associate with this topic are in consensus. To deny the overwhemling amount of proof in front of us that we have caused major environmental problems by dumping an excess of carbon into the atmosphere is irresponsible.
Then there's the issue that certain people with other agendas have made a deliberate effort to convolute facts. You can't see 98 studies pointing you in the direction of one answer, then find one that's inconclusive and one that points the other way, and claim to be intellectually honest.
This is what I mean by reality.

the same scientists that the tobacco used to propagate this disinformation campaign are now being hired by the fossil fuel industry.
it's funny how we always talk about staying "woke" and not falling victim to DC insiders, but then when we have a clear-cut case of this happening (smoking then, climate change and vaccines now) people want to pull a double-fake and act like the obvious industry shills with clear financial incentives and who are bucking the overwhelming scientific consensus (of a community that has little to no financial incentive) are somehow the ones telling the truth.
and of course the ones making these judgments are about as informed about science and research and climate as your drunk obese uncle yelling at the television on Sunday is on football.
