"Maybe the guy who is so blind to white privilege"

If white privilege was all that it's cracked up to be, why is honkey Liz Warren desperately trying to be Native American, and why is honkey Robert Francis (Beto) O'Roarke desperately trying to be Hispanic?


"sees black and Latino unemployment went down as something special"

I view lowest black unemployment ever recorded, as a good thing. You view it as nothing worth mentioning. You can't bring yourself to concede that it's a great thing, your deranged hatred won't allow you to celebrate something so great. I'm quite comfortable stating that my position is a whole lot less cuckoo than yours.

Take off the tin foil hat for two seconds.

It’s only right wing media obsessed with people’s racial heritage and supposed issues, day after day but with an inept and failing leader what would anyone expect?
Are you arguing for or against identity politics when you claim special status for black unemployment?

This is your drunken intellectual mode. Only right wing media is obsessed with racial heritage day after day? As for the "inept and failing" crap, it comes off as inebriated verbal slobber.

Are you arguing for or against identity politics when you claim special status for black unemployment?

Are you employing identity politics when you infer or accuse someone of having white privilege?

I did retort. First I described your senseless verbal slobber. Then I asked "Are you employing identity politics when you infer or accuse someone of having white privilege?"

You didn't retort back. You deflected.

You think Trump can do no wrong and are a constant defender, sad. And if anyone hits at Don the Con you attack. Michael Cohen figured it out, just took him a long time. You will also, sooner or later.

But yours was a deflection from my question "Are you arguing for or against identity politics when you claim special status for black unemployment?"

I don't know what coverage you saw, everything I saw was the guy was a victim of a hate crime. No "let's see what facts develop".

If that represents a "healthy bit of skepticism" to you, boy I hope I don't live long enough to see you feel that anyone actually rushed to judgment.

I don't doubt that he'll get what's coming to him (though he may enjoy prison). What about the 4 politicians I mentioned? Will they go on the air and apologize for fanning the flames of racial tensions?

^^ He is correct

Why do they have to apologize for an honest statement about what they believe happened?

Maybe the guy who is so blind to white privilege and sees black and Latino unemployment went down as something special, "even though they are black I got them jobs, look at me, I'm special" should apologize.

The First reaction should be "Such and such claims to be a victim of an attack of..." First reports of often enough wrong that we will wait for more information"

This is an absurd, ignorant, display of intellectual inebriation. Drunkeness leads to false and silly absolutes.

and are a constant defender, sad.

Apparently, you have a problem when someone you constantly attack is defended against false accusations. I understand how that can be sad for you when the beast that occupies your besotted brain is defended.

And if anyone hits at Don the Con you attack.

If you could dry out from your phrenic intoxication of hateful obsession with Trump, you would notice that there are many occasions that I don't respond to hits at the Don. Some are funny, most are too obviously stupid to care about, and some are true.

Michael Cohen figured it out, just took him a long time. You will also, sooner or later.

I'm sure that if Mueller was threatening me with certain life imprisonment I'd strongly consider copping a plea.

But yours was a deflection from my question "Are you arguing for or against identity politics when you claim special status for black unemployment?"

You didn't ask me that question. You asked Jim.

Oh man that's rich. So why are Liz Warren and Beto O'Roarke desperately trying to not be seen as white? Are they part of the "right wing media"?

I don't understand this rant. Who's desperate to be what again?

Warren desperate to be native American. O'Rourke desperate to be Hispanic. Is that news to you?

Checking a few check boxes and submitting a recipe years ago doesn't really strike me as a desperate act. As for Beto, his name is Robert, his family called him Beto as a nickname. He grew up in a city with a Latino majority. Don't know how this makes him desperate either.

You left out all the times when she said " I am a native American, my maw maw said so, look at my cheekbones".

"his family called him Beto as a nickname"

You know this? Or he says so?

White privilege, mmm-hmm.

A recipe??????

So Jeff, what would it strike you as? Give me five... adjectives, nouns, or adverbs, that you would use to teach your kids right from wrong in the same scenario?

Luckily they are not Republicans, either would have a hard time passing as a grumpy old white man.
