I'll stay on my "high horse" as much as I please. If you have a problem with me having a problem with vulgar, bigoted people, TOUGH!! I didn't vote for Graham anyway. I can't. I live in Georgia, not South Carolina.
They're just mad our President is insulting other countries instead of our own.
Excellent. Think Obama's April 4, 2009 speech, his statement at the Prayer Breakfast and the apology tour. From Prayer Breakfast link:

In our home country, slavery and Jim Crow all too often was justified in the name of Christ. Michelle and I returned from India -- an incredible, beautiful country, full of magnificent diversity -- but a place where, in past years, religious faiths of all types have, on occasion, been targeted by other peoples of faith, simply due to their heritage and their beliefs -- acts of intolerance that would have shocked Gandhiji, the person who helped to liberate that nation.
You don't realize that using South Africa as an example only hurts your argument.
Not really. S. Africa was under Dutch and British Rule from 1652-1910, after that Apartheid until 1994 with primarily a white ruling class and much forced segregation:

Georgians ARE allowed to opine on senators from states other than their own. Fact of the matter is, you have a problem with Trump. Others have said exactly the same thing and you didn't bat an eye. I can probably dig up something Obama said but you were too much of a hack to speak up.
Well, this thread only confirms that racial tensions/resentment never went away. Now it is just erupting beyond the surface.
I know, and they are coming out the woodwork under Trump, he have embolden them. But, the country will send a clear message in November, please let them keep it up.

Well, I am only now hearing about Lindsay Graham's comment. Otherwise I would have gone off on Graham as well. Now that I know what Graham said, I have no respect for him either. He needs to be censured to. The question is this. Why am I just now hearing about this?
So what if I have a problem with Trump? I've been vocal about it from day one. I had a problem with his "I like soldiers who weren't captured" remark. I had a problem with his racially tinged Twitter remark towards former President Obama during the Baltimore riot. I was disgusted when he retweeted a tweet from a Neo-Nazi regarding black crime, one listing falsified statistics.
And I make no apologies for it. I'm not trying to save face. I despise Trump. I despise that he is the President. Unfortunately, I'm stuck with it for the next 4 years. I voted for Gary Johnson(Hilary Clinton is no better, and Bernie Sanders lost the Primary. By the way, I voted for Sanders in the Primary).

Sanders is a despicable socialist. The only people worse than him are communists.

I will be at the polls in November and I will have my say. Believe me on that.
Sanders is a despicable socialist. The only people worse than him are communists.
You voted for him?
Yes I did. I'd rather the "despicable socialist" in office than Trump. He's alot less corrupt than Hilary and more morally sound than Trump. I voted for him in the primary, and if I had to do it over, I would do it again. Period.

Negroes could be shot, lynched, raped, beaten, or whipped with complete impunity. Aside from the fact that many southern law enforcement officials and statesmen were KKK sympathizers, southern sentiment abhorred Negro justice. Negro fate was totally based upon the whims of their former captors. Most Negroes who could afford the trip north, hurriedly fled gleefully. Most were living in constant fear where the KLAN and Jim Crow were prevalent. The KLAN was a ubiquitous terrorist group to Negroes throughout the South. At that time, the KLAN was their ISIS!
you can thank democrats for all of that
