What have you done for me lately?


If most people couldn't recognize Biden, JL's recognition quotient doesn't even register.

Yeah, just sitting back trying to recapture
a little of the glory of, well time slips away
and leaves you with nothing mister but
boring stories of glory days"

He is a senile old man or a Trump boot licker. That statement is patently untrue.

Considering the baseless and inaccurate comments you have already made in this topic your opinion is about as valuable as used toilet paper.

it wasn't trump's statement.

To reiterate, the comment was made by John Clarke, a black man and he was being sarcastic.

What's your point?? Are your disregarding what I responded to?? OP did not even bother to give a link.. ONLY to disparage John Lewis . John Clarke is known to be a mouthpiece for fundies, who make it profitable to HIM ( back in the day known as "Uncle Toms") to repeat disparaging comments. I don't give a darn who says it.. It's hate filled and disregarding FACTS!!

All those who continually propagandize past history//re-interpret HISTORY to suit one's agenda ( radical animus) to somehow program ignorant uneducated younger ones to have un-informed historical FACTS!!! Even The POTUS HAS ZERO Clue of HISTORY!!

Does it really matter who said it?? Does it really matter who spreads HATE Filled skewed lies?? Does it really matter who preaches it?? Does it really matter who really HATES a Political party enough to disregard what the Bible taught??


Guess not.. according to your doctrine

At least 95% of those who voted for HRC do not know that John Lewis was one of the "Big Six" whatevers or that he did whatever back in 1963.

Fine...his right....and Trump has every right not to acknowledge who he is or invite him to the white house for anything while he is President...

John Lewis made his bed on this one...

btw...I personally love it when Trump counter punches
Yeah, counter punching is such mature behavior in a president. He's like a seventh grader. And my apologies to seventh graders everywhere. SMDH.

So you think Trump is winning the hearts and minds of Black America? There goes the neighborhood.
Trump voters will jump on anything a Black Conservative says defaming black people. This guy is clearly an idiot. He has only gotten this far in life because he is a racist. I have known many just like him. They seek the approval of conservative whites by putting their boot on the neck of black people. Of course he will make light of or be sarcastic about a Civil Rights legend.
