    Gear up folks we are going to see a whole lot more of this between now and November.

    Now he understands how hurtful this was, what a joke.

    But we are told by the Right that racism doesn't exist. SMH.

    Not nearly as surprising as you voting for the guy who said he didn't want his kids going to school with blacks.

    Kinda weird, but am headed outside to wash my bike.

    See ya.

    Not to be ageist, and neither to condone nor rationalize; I'm surprised that is all he wrote.

    Racism exists, we experience it daily. Systemic racism doesn't exist, except for Affirmative Action.

    Systematic racism definitely exists and you're right AA is racist against the very people it was created to help.

    How was this racist? He was insulting the concept of making a pick purely based on color and gender. It might as well been Aunt Jemima! Get it?
    Aunt Jemima , Betty Crocker, Chef Boyardee, Little Debbie, Uncle Ben are all part of a brand. They arent racist and can always be updated. This racist obsession is unheathy.

    Harris is younger and better looking than Jemima while her ancestry is somewhat more uncertain.

    She's Mrs. Butterworth

    Machiavelli would be proud. This story is yet another example of the infinite stories pushed by the elite to squeeze the middle. The elite have zero fear of minorities, absolutely none. The entire purpose of welfare is to bind minorities to the elites at the expense of middle. The elites fear (and with just cause) the middle. The middle can actually rise up and destroy them (and frequently have in the past). The elites have been actively and openly oppressing the middle for decades now. They have significantly weakened it. It is very apparent to me that they will use tribalistic conflict as a pretext to strip liberties from the middle. I do not believe the middle can stop them anymore. For the first time in my life I can honestly say that I am being governed without my consent. This view is held by many of my friends and relatives. The only real question left is fight or flight. If flight, where to?

    Calling someone a name, a name of a real person, is racism? Think of the names you call Trump, things like orange man and Cheeto. If Harris kisses Biden's ass, when can we start calling her a boot linking uncle Tom like this thread's originator often does?

    We're back to where the left can say anything they want, but when the right says something it's racist. And here you people are saying you want equality. What a joke. SMH.

    Yeah, we saw systemic racism when Biden said he's only pick a black woman for VP. Imagine if Trump said he's only pick a white man for his.

    Serious question, if there's systemic racism throughout the county, and if all white people are racists per blm, they why would any party who desperately wants to unseat Trump tell Biden to pick a black woman?

    You totally MISSED the point.

    And, a person who is an Elected Official is (obviously) held to a higher standard (in terms of racially insensitive remarks) than someone posting on the internet.

    And (per the rules) PF does not tolerate overtly racist remarks.

    Unfortunately for Trump, orange isn't a real skin color. It is just the horrible spray tan he uses, thus he can be mocked freely.

    But you're giving Biden a pass on his racially insensitive remarks.

    Then why did he apologize. Figures you would try to rationalize what he said. I wonder if your political ilk will ever learn how to speak like mature adults, that language he used was completely uncalled for.
