And of course you have proof of this.

That's what you don't get. It's about the why are a conservative all based on skin color.

What language? That blacks haven't been helped by big government? That whites haven't either? That the ones who have been helped is the elite. I'm sure they thank you for your support. Was Malcolm X on the right or is it okay for him to say it because he's black?

No he didn't. He did generalize.

Nothing to do with Obama calling her out because she's black and a repub. It's about not calling those out when they are wrong because of party affiliation. I gave an example and you ran from it.

And that is so wrong. Is this still America we live in, or some foreign place. People have a right to believe with what they believe in, without being ridiculed and pointed fingers at.

No one person has the right to tear someone down, because of their belief, oh wait, we happen to know there is one party, that lives and thrives on this sentiment. Unless you want people doing the same to you, mind your own damn business.

A tweet is not exactly 'tearing someone down." The way the right is crying, one would think this young lady, and her family, was sent to a concentration camp.

This tweet was. I'm not surprised you don't see that with your blinded agenda

That's your misguided perception.

The University of Michigan is a public university. It has an admissions department. That didn't stop them from discriminating against white people, which the Supreme Court ruled was unconstitutional.
