If they walk out (R or D or I or whatever), don't come back later complaining you did not have a say in the matter. You walked out so you gave up your say in whatever it is.

Nobody called that racial. They called it political grandstanding just like this. I don't understand how you guys are ignoring this and keep to banging your heads against a brick wall like it would make a difference.


House GOP'ers Walk Out Of Contempt Vote - YouTube
Republicans are emotional creatures… They throw sanity out of the window when their theories are proved incorrect… Deep down inside they know this protest wasn’t racist but they refuse to admit it because it would mean separating from their party’s ideology…

You are clearly looking over what I responded to here. Let me help you remember…

“The truly sad thing about the African American community is that most try to better themselves, but most black leaders are wolves in sheep's clothing, and do nothing but exploit the black community for their own selfish gain.”

A_Lexus and MTAtech are paid Obama plants here. Therefore, their comments will, of course, seem ridiculous to anyone with common sense.

Nope, there are plenty of outstanding black politicians. Unfortunately, they are in the minority. To be fair, outstanding politicians of all colors are in the minority.

I was trying to make a similar point... Certain people on CD will take every opportunity to single out and criticize black folk...
