Throw in a couple of 'for instance' so we could all be enlightened.

Ah, grammar nazis. Gotta love em.

If you aren't familiar with the term, it's pretty much the common name for the Democratic Party. Very few people actually put the "ic" on the end of it. Although, if you added a "k" at the end of the "ic" it would be more fitting.

Grammar Nazi?

What do you mean? I asked a serious question. Are you saying that it was typo?

In North Carolina now the GOP is waving around the fact that Cheri Beasley, as a black public defender, represented a black man who killed a state trooper more than 25 years ago. So what?

Republicans sure know how to get ugly. After being censured about the Horton ad (whose name was William but they called him Willie to sound more ethnic) the ad's designer did apologize when he had a terminal disease.
Stating simple facts is not "playing the race card"; it is simply pointing out factual statistics, which the democrats ignore, as they are removed from reality.

Willie Horton's names was not 'Willie' and the Republicans purposefully only ran the ads in white areas. The designer admitted this before he died. That's not stating simple facts. They told Reagan that his standard speech on the 'welfare queen' had the facts wrong but he kept on flogging the story. Who cares about facts when one can race-bait?

Don't fool yourself to think that someone is simply stating the truth. Sometimes picking little nuggets out of the panoply of facts can be an appeal to race bias. That's just wrong.

Bingo…the truth is often unpopular.

Just pointing out facts? Take Wisconsin:

Quote:
For weeks, outside GOP groups have financed an onslaught of ads, including a spot that showed Barnes’s name styled in graffiti, and others that have labeled him as “dangerously liberal” and “different.” In some advertisements Barnes’s skin has been darkened... At a campaign stop Saturday in Racine, Democratic Gov. Tony Evers criticized Johnson and the GOP for playing up race in the Senate campaign. “I think they’ve gone out of their way to make him look like a mean and angry man — making his face look darker. That’s baloney, frankly,” Evers, who is in a tight reelection race, told reporters after a rally with supporters.

“I think it’s racism when you’re — when you take a candidate who happens to be Black — and try to make him look blacker and angrier.” Evers said.

That's race-baiting by Republicans, pure and simple. No wonder the party has so few black members.

Except thinking and opinions don’t make it fact. It’s simply pushing a narrative.
