Kind of like those who protested slavery and Jim Crow?

We’ve seen how MI’s governor has been maligned and how much of it is because the governor is female.
Do you honestly believe that this woman wasn’t subjected to similar rhetoric, possibly worse because she is black?

Don’t bother answering.
Empathy is not in the rightists’ tool kit.
I don't answer when a leftist either starts or ends a post with hatred, insult, or intolerance to people who don't support liberalism.

To be fair, the same could be asked of you. Were you at the protest?

And if I may piggyback onto your response, the liberal poster above is now claiming that the MI governor has been maligned because she is female?? Liberals have taken this "protect minorities" (well, the minorities they favor) so far that any criticism of their behavior is chalked up to sexism or racism.

I guess if some black folks went into a klan rally to do something to protest you'd claim somehow they were MAKING THINGS RACIAL too. LOL.

That is what it looks like to her. Akin to a klan rally. And they are angry at democratic lawmakers like herself specifically.
Nazi flags and nooses? I know they were comparing Gov. Gretchen Whitmer to Hitler and calling her a Nazi.

Why not have them escort her? She'd be right at home with them. All the major hate groups, Nation of Islam, La Raza, the Klan all have their roots with democrats.

It was a racially charged environment by virtue of symbols and lack of diversity in the protest movement participants. Is it any wonder that such a display in MICHIGAN....would create and equal and opposite reaction racially? Actions create equal and opposite reactions. The Republican Michigan legislator was not part of the protest, but early had donned a face mask that resembled the confederate flag. This is the environment that the black legislator, plus the protesters, existed in. Some Black people react to such symbolism of racism....WITH UNITY and solidarity with other blacks. Action....Reaction. Basic physics.

So who made this about race?

The South will rise again in Michigan, apparently.

not surprisingly, a massive failure to show either a nazi flag or a noose.
