Yeah I do. You guys really need to get over this sick obsession with AOC, it isn't healthy. Nice young lady, and you all are looking for any shred of nothing that you can come up with to find fault with her. And yet, you somehow overlook 1,000s of similar things done by Trump, and worse.
Except not everyone critical of AOC is a Trump supporter, or even a Republican.
if the bar is set so low for anyone to claim what AOC did was racism, then let's examine the accusation itself, that blacks somehow have an accent that they claim as their own. All the snowflakes on the right are always complaining about being hurt by something.
so true. While President Trump says Dream Big! She says, it's alright to be the shiftless losers that she assumes they are. Yet they say he's the racist. AOC's was the same message Obama had for them. Remember he used to say things like some people get lucky, nobody makes it on their own. In other words, it was a slap in the face to anyone who worked hard to achieve wealth - but that's another thread.
If I were black, I'd be mortified after OAC's speech. How sad and insulting.
Because she puts herself out there on a daily basis, she exposed her stupidity.
It's why free speech must be preserved whether people agree with it or not.
She is an easy target, a sitting duck if you will or a low hanging fruit.
With her policy of stupidity, she would run this country to the ground.
She hasn't been in office for 2 months and look what she did with Amazon.
Amazon was willing to employ 25,000 people. NY lost $30 billion in new revenue
because of the stupidity of this woman.
Not even Cuomo or de Blasio can defend this, because they know how stupid
AOC's actions were.
#2 Trump was at least saying you should aspire for more including self-accomplishment in an abrasive-generalizing way. AOC is right to say there isn't anything wrong with any honest job, but dear lord...her message basically was there is nothing wrong with keeping your low-skill jobs because I will get you free chit.
I agree, but what Trump is saying would have more credibility coming from someone like Howard Schultz...who grew up in a housing project...rather than Trump...who started on third base +.
my best friend of over 20 years is so black he is almost blue-black, i am white..we are connected thru AA and as i said have been for 20 years....this man has worked for 30 years in the field of addiction and has tremendous respect throughout our local community...
thru all those years i have witnessed the "phenomenon" of "white people acting black"...I am not sure what to make of it
however i chalk it down to simple uneasiness and discomfort for whatever reason..i make this point is this unfamiliarity with other cultures is common among ALL or at least QUITE a FEW people NOT just politicians....does anybody give people the "benefit of the doubt" anymore or is everything just part of a conspiracy??
Hillary was quoting from a well known ( in some circles) hymn.
I am not a Hillary fan)
I think most people know that, but you can quote something and not use some pandering, condescending accent. She's done this multiple times as did Obama change his speech depending on audience. Very insulting.
She now qualifies as being a Minority Victim of Racism also.
"Trump makes fun of me because I'm Black".
