    I am saying there lies some deep cynicism at the heart of Democrat pretensions
    of racial justice.
    And hateful in its language of racist division.
    And something deceitful in American academia.

    Go back to Washington times then most of the world had slaves,
    including the Africans, Arabs and even the English.
    But there remained something reactionary about American Dems'
    in the mid 1800's, something which stayed with them right through
    the Jim Crow and KKK times. And then suddenly Democrats saw
    opportunity in getting the black vote. How I hate that.

    You hate the fact that the Dems saw the error of their ways and changed for the better?

    They didn't. The Dems today are the Party of Racism. With the New Deal
    Afro Americans found themselves forced to vote for Dems, the party that
    had opposed Lincoln. It's convenient to keep Afro Americans and other
    minorities locked on welfare and to feel alienated - and told to vote for
    Democrats. Democrats were the party of the Dixicrats, the plantations,
    the Jim Crow and the KKK. Today they are the party of racial divisions.

    You are entitled to your fallacious opinion but that does not alter FACTUAL REALITY one iota!

    The GOP is the party of MINORITY voter SUPPRESSION today!

    Perhaps we're having a difference of definition. Are you saying that is 'portraying emotion in a theatrical manner'?

    Because I find it to be about as accurate and thought out of a depiction of corporate media as can be made on such a concise platform as twitter.

    No. Why would he? And what does that have to do with emoting?

    I have no idea what you are talking about
    And because there is nothing specific then
    there's no point in trying to address anything.
    You seem to be a person who has opinions
    but no way to present them.

    What's "not specific" is your original, laughable comment.
