do this based on race. It is antithetical to American values.
The Wisconsin Supreme Court struck down a state-funded scholarship program Thursday that awarded financial aid to college students based on certain racial categories — a decision that drew praise from conservative legal groups.
Obama was NOT an expression of racism. Quite the opposite, actually…
gonna be Hell to pay over this!
And if there is a single big settlement anywhere, lawyers and aggrieved old white men are going to be on this like ugly on a hog! And how many white men were discriminated against? This is an extinction-level event for many businesses!
Let’s say a business passed over person because he was white and male, hiring a less-qualified female minority (See: Ketanji Brown Jackson). How much in punitive damages do you think that a judge might award him?
The issue is that I don’t believe that this discrimination can legally hold up. There will be some companies that get hit very hard because of this. And, indeed, that should be the case! It seems pretty simple: You may not discriminate on the basis of gender, religion, or skin color!
snookered on a massive scale! And now Democrats have moved on to favor other groups, instead.
I’t been obvious for years that Democrats have held black people in contempt, but now it is becoming just undeniable. Black people, Democrats are just not that “into” you. Sure, they pretend otherwise whenever election time rolls around again, but it is just a scam. Don’t fall for it!
Black people, come to the Republican side, where you are valued for the content of your character rather than the color of your skin.
Barack Obama is a race hustler! But for most of us, that’s not exactly news. I think that when he was in electoral competition, he kept that kind of under wraps. But no more. There’s no need for him to even pretend now.
it DOES sound kind of racist!
Democrats need racism so as to stay relevant. So they keep it up.
descent need to understand that Europe is increasingly hostile, and Democrats in the US are increasingly hostile. It is the Republicans who are your friends, and heaven knows it is not the Democrats!
Josh Shapiro, the Democrat who once volunteered for the IDF, will never be the Democrat nominee because he is Jewish. I mean, do you think that the Muslims in Michigan would vote for him? Not hardly. MI would for sure go Republican. And Democrats really can’t afford that.
real problem, here. And the Black community needs to stand up and face their role in things. At some point, you have to stop blaming others and take a hard look at yourself if you are going to change.
And this has absolutely nothing to do with color. No, it is all about culture. A rigid focus on racism is too often just an avoidance of personal change. NO ONE is saying that racism is OK or not harmful. But let’s focus on the entire picture.
I mean, even when I lived in the south, openly racist stuff was not socially tolerated. I suspect there was some “underground” racism, but it was never, in my experience, on full and open display.
I mean, why was there a HUGE move by black people into the middle and professional classes before LBJ? SPOILER: He openly said he was sabotaging black people! And he did…
me get this right: Donning “blackface” is an unpardonable crime, but a black person wearing “whiteface” is perfectly fine. Do I have that right?
Now, this video shows Druski’s character interacting with a good many NASCAR fans, and yet Druski himself is the only one who is racist. The odds that any actual person doing any genuinely racist thing would have been included are only around 100%, and yet Druski can only show himself being racist toward black people, and only when no one else is around. He is apparently trying hard to show NASCAR fans, Southern white Americans, and patriots in general as a bunch of racists, but he can’t find anyone to flesh out the stereotype, so he has to do it himself.
Now I give him credit in terms of the makeup–it was other-worldly good. But having lived in the South myself, I can tell that he is full of crap in terms of his stereotyped portrayal of a Southerner. After four years in the south, I had not heard a single racist word.
Oh I strongly suspect it happens, and people just didn’t open up to a “Yankee.” But I spoke with hundreds and hundreds of people under a legal requirement of confidentiality, and the closest I ever came to it was a southern belle in her early 20s saying that Abe Lincoln was a villain because he suspended habeas corpus.
You know, that’s pretty weak tea. I mean, maybe she had more extreme racist views than that, but she certainly didn’t express them! Even in a very private setting.
Am I saying that there are no racists? Of course not. But I AM saying that in four years of private conversations I didn’t hear them talk in a racist way. So if they are there, they certainly are under “deep cover.” Now I didn’t deal with the very elderly, and there might well have been some problems there…
But that tells me that even in the South, racist views are just not socially acceptable!
