    Fantastic. Now that there are no more races, no more racism, and no more people of color, we can move on from divisive debates on racism.

    The move to the left socially is due to indoctrination from the entertainment industry , biased media and horribly leftist universities.

    The left does control the media, the entertainment industry. You do have to admit this.

    Just because smart people confront idiocy? The well educated are not to be feared but Republicans feel like they are being discriminated against just for being dumb.

    It has nothing to do with smart. It's about lying about the facts that make up reality.
    Then telling everyone who doesn't believe the lies ignorant.

    No, it is about controlling the narrative. The left does control the narrative, you have to admit that.

    Control or persuade? For example, empirical science does not lie. Those who fear knowledge claim it is a lie. I imagine it took many many years for critics of Christopher Columbus to accept that the planet is round. The impulse from many Republicans is to deny reality until they look like total fools. It is not a winning strategy in the long run.

    Ah.... as expected.... the strawman... I'm sure you'd love to move from debates on racism. No such luck. Racism does exist. You can't get out of the hot water that easily.

    As a Texan you know that Democrats are quickly gaining ground. Arizona and Nevada should be the wake-up call. But hey, they're are Republicans in California who keep hoping for the impossible.

    Socialism is appealing to third worlders with no formal education. That's why the Democrats are against immigration reform.

    Not really. The Democratic strongholds in Texas are it's largest/ most sophisticated cities. The backcountry is ruled by Republicans. Which one will prevail?

    Dallas is flooded with illegals. The upper-middle class and middle class have left Dallas for the suburbs. White flight.

    Yes, Dallas is Democratic. But the surrounding suburban communities are pure red.

    The Republicans control the Presidency, the Senate, the majority of governor mansions, and the majority of state legislatures.

    The Democrats only control the house of representatives for the moment.

    You were saying?

    There are in the minds of those so terminally insecure they need to have a make-believe lesser being to point a crooked finger at.

    I see quite a few insecure white manboys attempting to speak for all whites.

    . Is this guy discriminated against because he's black or because he's dumber than a box of rocks. Interestingly he keeps getting reelected by Georgian democrats.

    Artists don't support authoritarians. Artist's depend upon free expression to make their livings and authoritarians are against freedom in general. This is why so many people are against Trump

    As were the Stalinists and Maoists. Any ideology that bases itself on repression of the human spirit is very bad
