Yet blacks re-elect the likes of charlie rangle, sheila jackson and maxine watwers, etc. and NEVER a complaint about them and the racist things they say.


The word hypocrite comes to mind!


Today the NAACP, the National Association for the Advancement of COLORED people has become no better them some of organizations you mention.


Robert Byrd was once of the leaders of the KKK yet the left ALWAYS supported him.
I have yet to hear Jackson or Waters say anything racist, as for Rangle, he was primaried the last 2 cycles, almost losing in 2014, and not running for re election in 2016. His replacement was the man who almost beat him in 2014


as for Byrd, this is a political forum. Anyone posting here is smart enough to know Byrd wasnt a liberal, so trying to include him as being from the left is intellectually dishonest. He was at best a Blue dog Democrat, making him conservative.

But if you want to play the Byrd card, I remind you that the same people who elected him, gleefully voted for Republicans at the Presidential level.

I'd rather the Netherlands, Germany, Finland or Australia.

Deal?

Emboldened about what? It's our Country and our culture. Are you not part of America? It seems the minority wants to become the majority via the courts and violence! Naturally there's going to be some friction.

With government-assistance advocates having babies like they do, their numbers might just increase in the future to where noone will have to work and everyone gets a check every month.

Signed,
Just want to be left alone

Absolutely. I'd bet you that quite a few of the Trump supporters here on City-Data use racial and bigoted slurs in real life.

The funny part is that you couldn't emigrate to any of those Countries. You would be turned down. 100%.
They need people that want to pull the wagon-----not sit in it.

If they like socialism maybe they could go spend a month in Venezuela doing volunteer work. That shi*hole is a shining example of the benefits of socialism. They need volunteer teachers, doctors and electricians.

How about Haiti. Haiti doesn't have any socialism. Never had socialism. Haiti is in horrible shape.

Thinly veiled personal attack noted and dismissed.

You have no clue who I am or what I do. If I didn't love my friends and family so much, I'd leave this country as soon as possible. I'm confident I would be accepted into each one of those countries as I've already done the research to see how to immigrate to them.

Venezuela isn't the only country where there is socialism.
