Where is the left's demand for racial equality and proportional representation? They want women to reach 50% in everything, they want Oscars not to be "so white," but have no problem that certain sports are "so black"?
But previously you wrote:
May I kindly suggest to tone down the rhetoric of “stupid, idiots, brain-washed” etc. It is as productive and beneficial for a reasonable debate as calling the other side racists, bigots, and deplorables. We are all here reasonably intelligent and educated people, just with different value systems and opinions.
So, what is a leftist, liberal to do when confronted with rhetoric designed to be confrontational, insulting and generally ignorant and backward?
Well, I will defend people's right to say whatever they may want to say regardless of how stupid, idiotic, brainwashed and racist it may seem to some people but personally, I don't let it affect me.
But might I answer that the question is self evident (and rather obvious)?
This whole Trumped up brouhaha was designed to have the Sunday political shows forget about the fact that once again, it seems Trump and the GOP have stepped on their you know whats regarding
Repeal & Replace™ and that even more news regarding Russia and Robert Mueller's investigation...we've learned that Facebook actually was used by the Russians for spreading fake news and stories to hurt Hillary and help Trump. We learned that the federal government on Friday told election officials in 21 states that hackers targeted their systems before last year's presidential election...
And we learned that
A Group of Experts Wrote a Book About Donald Trump’s Mental Health—and the Controversy Has Just BegunDue October 3, 2017
There will not be a book published this fall more urgent, important, or controversial than The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump the work of 27 psychiatrists, psychologists and mental health experts to assess President Trump’s mental health. They had come together last March at a conference at Yale University to wrestle with two questions. One was on countless minds across the country: “What’s wrong with him?” The second was directed to their own code of ethics: “Does Professional Responsibility Include a Duty to Warn” if they conclude the president to be dangerously unfit?
In the grand scheme of things, Trump could prolly have gotten away with what he said Fri night if he hadn't referred to the player's mothers as bitches...see, that's what calling somebody a son of a bitch means. That's offensive on many levels but pro athletes, particularly black pro athletes generally really love their mothers so if you wanted to get a group of players of any sports pissed off, start referring to their mothers.
I particularly like Teresa Kaepernick's (Colin's adopted mother) response...
