    Ah poor baby , you must be a white male who has no privileges in this country and is just a victim of prejudice. You’re right all those KKK and neo-Nazis and white supremacists are all Democrats LOL

    The difference between people like me and people like you is I condemn all racism while you promote racism towards races you don't like.

    I think it's funny how the people who cry racism all the time give blantiant racist a total pass.

    Saying someone is privileged because they are white is racist. You even throw Male in there to be sexist as well. Classy...

    Neither the Confederate soldiers were fighting for slavery or were the Union soldiers fighting to end slavery.
    That's revisionism.

    Slavery may have caused the Civil War but it wasn't why it was fought.

    Oh, that makes all the difference. Good news for swastika lovers isn't it? Turns out that isn't a racist symbol either.

    As long as a symbol was only founded on the most abhorrent racism possible, and also symbolizes the greatest treason this country has ever seen, it makes perfect sense that it should by displayed as prominently as possible. I mean so long as it isn't liberal.

    Iowa senators Grassley and Ernst condemned King. Certain Republicans, like King just invite public ridicule from their own party. What kind of person votes for a racist? Republican.

    Your "question" is a non sequitur hence the suggestion of confusion. I don't dodge foolishness, I call it out and then ignore it.

    Yeah.

    Regardless of a RACIST MORON like King serving in Congress, The Stars and Bars does have it's moments:

    Come to think of it, the U.S. Army 45th Infantry Division wore the swastika.

    You didn't ignore it cuz here you are addressing it. Obviously you were triggered.

    I'll ask again. If Steve king for example, said it was his job to tell black people to shut their mouths, would that be racist?

    Also, what would you think about people who clap when they hear it?

    Just look at the folks on this thread who have come out in defense of King and they wonder why black folks think the Republican Party is racist.

    Do you really think you are making any kind of point there?

    Let me take a wild guess (counterfactual I know, but bear with me here). If there had been a communist revolution that almost destroyed this country in the 50's, would you now consider it patriotic to display a hammer and sickle on a congressman's desk?

    Exactly, the man at the top of the GOP is a bottom-dweller making Republicans look more horrible day by day.
