Either racism is an herb or the people at the nytimes have been smoking another herb.
Racially-seasoned.
What happens when you interview a room full of racist female lewks

Holy shit.
That's basically 42% of the country.
Every single woman on that panel is a Trumpist activist. CNN chose not to mention that fact for some reason, just as they forgot the previous times they featured some of these weirdos.
Who knew there was a Lewk in Congress. https://www.yahoo.com/huffpost/mike-...153709809.html
Well according to leftists the 'victim' of racial discrimination gets to decide if something is offensive or if a micro-aggression occurred. The congressman indicated he had been told to go back to his country due to his Irish heritage. Are you saying this is a fake hate crime, a hoax like the Jussie case? I understand if you are, the number of hoaxes are all over the place these days. Are you switching your position that we need positive proof of discrimination as opposed to just taking a victim's word that discrimination occurred? You can't have it both ways Loki.Quote:

A perfectly sensible observation from Matthew Parris has incurred the wrath of his colleagues on the Times. Speaking of Trump’s “racist” comments, Parris writes:
“I don’t like his attacks but I think they will strike a chord among millions who should not be called racists. It’s just futile to suppose that arrivals from another country, and their children, immediately and automatically assume an identity as citizens that is indistinguishable from that of the population already there. They have all the same rights but will be seen, for a generation or two, as neither better nor worse but different.”
That seems to me precisely the case. And I suspect the majority of Americans think the same, not to mention British people.
Yet you would have thought he had donned a pointy white hood to listen to the wailing from Caitlin Moran and Sathnam Sanghera who said:
‘I’m forever being told, as a second generation immigrant, that I should be “more grateful”, when I’m just doing the same job as him, being critical of aspects of Britain. That is racism.’
Followed up with:
‘I’ve left a comment on the website, Matthew often responds, so hopefully he will reflect.’
Me sticking up for Parris will simply confirm to people of such Manichean, absolutist beliefs, that Matthew is a raaaccissst. They are impervious to everything else. There is nothing else but racism. No nuance, no context, no truth.
One might argue that the Republican aversion to foreigners is destroying the American identity.

This is all so sad, maddening, frustrating. Hard to believe Republican 'leadership' can't even admit Trump's tweets were racist....and that the chants at last night's rally weren't just racist but also antithetical to our democratic values.
MAGA my ass. The GOP is now officially the party of Trump, a cult of personality, and the only *principle* that matters is professing loyalty to The Dear Leader. (see Lindsay Graham)
Now what?
The self-debasement continues, with ever more enthusiastic displays of servility:
Twitter Link
Trump's comments are so unracist they're cited as examples of racist harassment in federal workplace discrimination laws.

It continues, because there's no attack on the other that is too repugnant for NR to defend:

I continue to be disappointed. The conservative establishment has no principles, no moral integrity.
If I do not like where I am, I leave. I have done that many times. So I do not see why it is racist to suggest that.
My country is shitty and if I am going to lecture someone, it would be people from my country. Not yours.
It is not racist to clean my own home, before preaching and lecturing other nations.
If I was lecturing your nation, I certainly would feel like an antiwhite racist.

'Is it “racist” to tell people who have contempt for the country — who abhor the common culture that makes us American — that they ought to go back to where they came from?'
And it's hypocrisy and hubris when said by Trump -- since he's made derogatory comments about the US for decades. He even ran his MAGA campaign by declaring "The American Dream is Dead". :rolleyes:
Having different political opinions doesn't mean someone has *contempt* for the country, and wanting change doesn't mean they *abhor* America.
<"We must not confuse dissent with disloyalty" ~ Edward R. Murrow>
But Trump has doubled down, and said those (D) congresswomen aren't capable of loving the US....and that no one should be able to talk that way while he's president. That should send shivers down everyone's spine. :mad:
Predict voluntary debasement will continue:

Trump calls our Free Press the Enemy of the People and Fake News...then admits he uses them to vet his cabinet nominees, because it saves money? :rolleyes:
So much for US exceptionalism. :picard:
