    Bullshit. Republicans have been the white Christian majority forever, and if they don't like being associated with racism all they have to do is attract people of color. They run the fucking government, and the only thing they hate is the idea of having to share the fucking government with the rest of the country! After two hundred years of democracy, they are suddenly talking about how it no longer serves their needs, as their population implodes altogether from a complete lack of real family values.

    Donald Duck is not here to prepare the way for Jesus!

  2. This is both parties, the core of establishment politics. Both sides have their reasons to despise the voters.

    The entire country has voted along racial and religious lines for our entire history, and the issue is not whether politics are racist or religious, but how can politics address racism and remain secular in a democratic society. The US could not be a worse example of family values, with the worst social record in the developed world and half the population insisting Donald Duck should be above the law.
     
  4. For most of the history of the nation nearly all of the candidates have been white, so I fail to see where you are calling racial lines into the voting. But consider that in more recent times president Obama would not have been voted into office without a substantial number of white people voting for him. There simply are not enough black Americans to pull it off without substantial diversity among the voters.

    But then, I'm not inclined to see the US as a racist gulag.

    The problem seems to be you haven't been following the hearings.

    The case against Trump is self evident and attested to by first hand witnesses of stellar character, as well as second and third hand witnesses of stellar character, emails, and at least one phone call record in which Trump himself bares witness to his own misdeeds.
    Not to mention public admissions by Trump, Rudy Giuliani, and Mike Mulvaney about Trump's motives.
    The weird little games are all coming from the republicans and Trump.
    The Evidence Against Trump (So Far) [as of November 23rd, 2019]

    Democrats are Americans in case you didn't know that. Surely you can't be insinuating that they aren't?
     
  6. Americans are completely vacant. We are a society of fascists. We just hope the chickens won't come home to roost.

    This is nationalism. This is fascism, and you are guilty. You all make me sick.
     
  7. oooooh, burn!

    Ahahahahahahaha

    I haven't counted them, but there have been a number of black candidates for president beginning in 1872. Somewhere around one hundred. I don't know how many other non whites have tried.

    Racism is whatever people recognize as racism, with Israelis and Palestinians often being genetically identical. In George Washington's day, just being Irish made you racially inferior by mainstream standards, which is why the Irish immigrants in NYC rioted and lynched a few black men when the Emancipation Proclamation was signed. They didn't want the competition from blacks for the lowest paying jobs. To a great extent, racism is no different from any other "ism" when money is involved, and the issue is how to prevent the money from doing all the driving and maintain the peace.
     
  12. That's wonderful, it means the definition can be changed on a whim to suit any circumstance. "You laughed at a joke, RACISM!!!" or "You took my parking space, RACISM!!!" or even "White shoelaces?!?!?! RACISMMMM!!!!

    What a perfect way to weaponize an issue that we should be trying to put behind us. Way to keep it alive man.

    The dictionary merely contains popular definitions, and if the lynch mob says racism is how you love your neighbor, that's what it means. Over half the idiots make up their own definitions for words, and you can argue with both them and the publishers of dictionaries. The idiots are so insane they routinely push for legal recognition of their own definitions, and lobby the fucking publishers, when the only dictionary anybody will buy contains popular definitions. Private ownership of the public dictionary is a Libertarian birthright!

    AI is the future, because people are usually clueless, and even little kids know adults are often flat out insane.

  14. Racism can be anything from a slur to a joke. It usually offends people.

    Sure, I conclude that a fair number of non whites have run for political office over many years and if you look at the charts you can see the number is increasing, which I take as an encouraging thing.

    You and I watched and digested and understood the hearings. I now pray that enough of the voters have done likewise. After this Trump era, there might not be anything left to save of our planet and our civil rights.

    There was an op ed in today's newspaper which outlined the best defense for Trump and his supporters to take.
    The only one consistent with the facts that stands any rational scrutiny.

    Non compos mentis, or "not of sound mind".
    From a different article:
