Did Dems and Repubs "switch sides"??

Asking for a friend...

[CU1994]

They are who we thought they are.

 ...........the comments are MUCH MORE egregious and reprehensible when you watch the video of this stupid Pilgrim’s comments, the link to which is set forth in the lead post in this thread^^^.  This clown states it didn’t “impugn” anyone’s “humanity” when our enslaved ancestors were designated as 3/5ths of a person for tax purposes. I mean, seriously, this muthaf’er doesn’t have a CLUE!

CU^^^i agree with you, “they are who we thought they are.” But they are ALSO who we permit/tolerate them to be. Jews wouldn’t stand for these ignorant, bigoted comments, and blithe jokes about the Holocaust. They would, LITERALLY, run his a.z.z out of the Colorado statehouse building.

^^^^^

That takes money & organization designed to take down people & activities.  Not sure ‘we’ have that like the Jews.

[CU1994]

That’s a valid point M&G. Especially when you have black Republicans who condone them and make excuses for them.

^^^uhhh, forgive me CU and M&G, but it does NOT take money to stand up for your dignity, be vocal and be heard. Don’t wish to offend, but if our response to these insults is pretty much “woe is me,” very few will respect us.

And very few DO respect us, that’s why that Colorado state legislator and others believe they can spew this racist garbage with IMPUNITY!!   

[CU1994]

Strike, it doesn’t take money but does take us staying on code. That doesn’t always happen.
