It's genocide by other means. If I may be so bold.

Everyone's a racist. Are you more comfortable with those that look like you, talk like you, have the same body language? Then you're a racist. It's doin' what comes natur'lly.

I believe the phrase, "soft bigotry of low expectations", says it all.

There are racists across the political spectrum. They're just a LOT more comfortable in a political ideology that has always used race as a means to promote itself.

Wonderful video. Nailed it on all fronts.

It's good and important that it asks who are "the racists". Because, of course, there can only be one group that is. False dichotomies are important for implementing a successful propaganda campaign.

Yeah, why would people call out Republicans as more racist? It's not like Democrats don't regularly levy gratuitous racial insults at black politicians like this Republican did!

Oh wait. They don't.

It's so unfair to call out Republicans as racist, especially when the president of one of their "clubs" sends out innocent, completely NOT stereotype-obsessed things like this. It's just unfair to think that means anything about Republicans and their obsessively spiteful views of Obama.

Why can't they just get a fair break?

Bleach Drinkers Curing Coronavirus Together said...

Or like what this GOP official did.

I guess I see why Republicans are so sensitive about being called out for their racism. Because their displays of it are so embarrassingly simple-minded, so intricately connected with their own party's operatives and so much more frequent than you'd expect from a so-called "party opposed to racism".

It sounds like the problem on your hands isn't as simple as your linked propagandist wanted everyone to think. Bummer.

Hah, Obama bucks. Don't forget Solyndra bucks too.

But hey, maybe stereotypes exist for a reason.

It's free, swipe yo EBT!

The video touches on blacks and affirmative action and the differing perspectives on this Dems and Conservatives.

What's telling about R&B's transparent troll schtick here is that just a couple weeks ago, he was ranting here about blacks and their own low expectations in education. None of this makes any sense except perhaps in Rabel's diagnosis of R&B's bipolar disorder.
