Never ocurrs to you that maybe they are being pulled over for who they are? Despite the fact they're educated, succesful, taxpaying good American citizens, why do you doubt their narritive so?

It's funny that the irony is lost on them.

Look at this crap!

It's this kind of hyperbole that generates the proverbial "race card" being played repeatedly.

When racists continually claim and act upon white entitlement and privilege, then the so-called "race card" gets played, due to unnecesaary profiling, overt police aggression, unlawful arrests, illegal employment discrimination, racist denial of proper housing, race-bashing, and iconic racist wall building....

When you show your cards face up, its no longer about playing a friggin game of cards.

It's really about living a life of unnecessary oppression, discrimination, and terrorism. A life where survival skills must be acquired outside the norms of "privileged" society...

It seems that they have moved on in the UK.

We aren't moving on here because people keep starting threads about it.

There are just good and bad people and nasty people who say nasty things and they come in all

Let’s move on ..,
Not when we have legalized racism like Affirmative Action still in place.

Obama is mixed raced. Please get your facts straight.

Obama is the most racist president in the past 20 years.

I remember it well... If you don't like Obama, you must be a racist. We heard that one now for 10+ years and it continues.

If it's a Black Gay woman, you'll be a racist, homophobic and sexist. The perfect trifecta.
Are there no black republicans who might run?

Anyone who says something along the lines of "Old white guys..." is, by definition, being racist (and sexist, and ageist) by making observations based ONLY on skin color, gender and age. If you have EVER looked at someone who doesn't have the Exact same heritage as you, and thought something bad about them... guess what, you're a racist.


Now, since we're ALL racist, every last one of us (well, above the age of 8 or so ~ young kids don't care), what value does the term have? Yeah? You want to sling poo? Guess what, you're handling that poo first... it's on Your hands.
Like Lindsey Graham, you mean.

We saw it again yesterday when a white guy with a shotgun and a pistol who had just killed ten people was taken alive in Santa Fe.

Republicans fan the flames of racism. Research shows that this is the issue that ignites the GOP base.

It's why Trump is always spouting some racist ****, then trying to, wink-wink, pretend he was only talking about criminals or terrorists.

His white supremacy base knows he's only doing a little political tap dance. They get the message.

Everyone knows this. Even the Russians. The majority of Russian social media propaganda before the election was aimed at racial divisiveness.

Notice how my RW threads and post are about the "racist card," or Obama was a racist, or some such BS.

If you want this to mean something, why post this on an anonymous forum?

An Op-Ed in a Dallas paper might be more appropriate.

"...Vickers "Vic" Cunningham, a former criminal district judge now in a Republican runoff for Dallas County commissioner, acknowledged Friday that he set up a living trust with a clause rewarding his children if they marry a white person."..
