Biden's Biggest Blunder

Quote: OnceDear

trump achieved a lot of change. Racism achieved nicely.

Yes, the left did demonize white people to no end under Trump.

I would not use Kayne West, or Charlie Sheen, as examples of my thoughtful supporters.. "just sayin.

I think Charlie has mostly recovered now.

Actually I'm genuinely amused when some white people get upset with what is usually the more minor discrimination they suffered.. Ironically, it just keeps showing how bad ANY discrimination really is while they're often trying to deny its existence or impact to others.

"Discrimination is bad," would be a good starting point for everyone, that's correct.

It's the whole, "Intrinsic and Inherent," thing that gets on my nerves---as if to be a racist is automatic and unavoidable. If someone could go around and watch my entire life on a video, then there is no possible way that they could come to that conclusion.

That said, I wouldn't even mind being called a racist as long as there was an argument using concrete definitions in which a logical progression could be followed that would lead to that conclusion.

I know where my biases are and I only have bias against one fairly specific group of people---and they're also white.

Is yours for white actuarials too?

Exactly right. That's all we heard for 4 years was the liberal media screaming white supremacy every 5 minutes. And they're still doing it, after the election on Tuesday that's all you hear. Even though the new black lieutenant governor beat an actual white supremacist. They don't mention that because they never mention her.

Here is the thing. White people are the only group who are not allowed to have pride in their heritage. It is "racist" if they do. No black person will ever be asked to denounce "black supremacy." Not one government program or college admission program is there to favor whites, in fact all openly discriminate against them.

And the Democrat Party cheers all of that on.

You aren't aware of them now, I won't have anything to persuade you.
Not going to waste one more moment on such a futile effort

And Kinzinger is quitting Congress, he is just that good!
He now thinks he is going to run for Senate or Governor in Illinois or the WH in 2024!
He is a joke & not very smart, have you ever seen him interviewed? That's embarrassing.
My money is on him becoming an independent & then irrelevant.
He'll never win another election with an R next to his name.
Cheney did the same GOP political suicide move post 1/6. "It's a bold strategy Cotton, let's see if it pays off for 'em"
Next summer's Wyoming GOP Primary will be very interesting for Cheney, I bet she gets run off the ranch!
Actions have consequences. While most Republicans think the 1/6 yahoos with horned hats are idiots, they don't blame Trump.
Just like they don't blame Bernie for his supporter actually shooting Republicans at a baseball game.
In both instances, it is the perpetrators that are to blame.
You can't spin people's words and say they incited their supporters to shoot anyone or storm the Capitol.
Bernie said a lot of what could be taken as calls to action that his "looney toon" campaign volunteer took as a call to shoot people.
Telling supporters to demand that "Congress to do the right thing" &
and acknowledging that they will be "marching down to the Capitol to peacefully & patriotically make your voices heard".
Sorry CNN/MSNBC, you can spin "Fight Like Hell" all you want, the word "Fight" in politics has lots of meanings.
Peacefully & Patriotically make your voices heard only has one meaning.
Cheney couldn't figure this out & she'll pay the consequences.

Didn't you hear the quip when someone asked why whites don't have "White History Month"?

Because all the other months are White History Month.

Aw, I gave you more credit than this. Bernie didn't say over and over that the elections are rigged and stolen. That was the real meat and potatoes of Trump's awful message. Nor was he a lowly senator. He was POTUS. And One whole branch of government. And our Leader who is supposed to at least attempt to act like one.
