When will Trump and his sycophants protest that? Been waiting years for the outrage. It is especially bothersome on flag holidays when real estate agents line property with flags, only to see them sagging and dragging in the dirt a day later.
How about that black and white flag with the blue stripe? Talk about unpatriotic desecration for partisan purposes. That's basically the Police State Flag!

Taking a knee is highlighting the denial of Know-Knothings regarding racism in 21st-Century America. It's like denying the Holocaust and getting away with it. (For instance: Trump's denial about the 3,000 deaths in Puerto Rico!)

BETO just said at a town hall that blacks and illegals are needed in the Cotton Gins. Will his racist rant further hurt his chances? The guy looks like he is flushing himself down the toilet right now.

That was at Prairie View A&M... MY alma matter... I can tell you from everyone I know who was both at the meeting and watched all video that your statement is complete b.s.

I don't usually respond to political posts here (it's half the reason why I don't come to City-Data that much anymore) because they're filled with people and their agendas and baseless statements/"arguments" and yours is no exception.

Quite frankly, I just assume it's trolling and move on.

You can assume anything you want. I don't give a flip. You ought to read the comments below the video, Betos racism is being called out in a big way wether you like it or not.

BTW, do you have any problem with "Cotton picking" references being said to blacks? Or is it just selective outrage, where Beto gets a full pass, but if a conservative would have said the EXACT same thing people would scream and riot?

towns would be boring- shootings would occur if a conservative said what that racist Beto said

libs aways give a pass to their candidates or anyone who is against the right - this double standard crap is out offhand - we see it we are sick of it and wait for the red wave to kick these lying progressive commies butts

Betos racism is being exposed. That video is now on national sites.

Blacks and Hispanics and Texans of all ethnicities need to unite against racist Beto and soundly reject him.

Youre in no place to tell "blacks and Hispanics" what they should or shouldnt do. If you dont like him, dont vote for him. He isnt going away and what he said on the video wasnt racist. All you or anyone else can do is vote.

Point out the EXACT PHRASE in that video you found racist. Otherwise, your hyperbole is empty and pathetic.

And the beat goes on:

“That injustice, to many more people here than I know firsthand, continues to persist today,” Beto O’Rourke said. “That system of suspending somebody, solely based on the color of their skin, searching that person solely based on the color of their skin, stopping that person solely based on the color of their skin, shooting that person solely based on the color of their skin, throwing the book at that person and letting them rot behind bars solely based on the color of their skin, is why some have called this — I think it is an apt description — the new Jim Crow.”

Beto O'Rourke at Prairie View A&M on 9/19/18

I'm thinking he's not going to get the Texas Rangers' vote (and I don't mean the baseball team).

I'm confused -- what exactly is he saying that isn't true or is racist?
