    Interesting. They haven't reached me with that message. What did I miss?

    Maybe you are unable to consciously assimilate it.

    This could well be caused by an internal defense mechanism as overtly admitting to feelings of victimization can be esteem lowering.

    She has a college degree and she's really that dumb.

    Pearl Clutch: Vox Frets that Conservatives are Hurting AOC’s Poll Numbers.

    “‘I wish this coffeeshop had Fox News on, so I could find out what I’m supposed to think about Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez,’ said no hipster ever.”

    We shouldn't be too harsh. Just because she doesn't have her facts right doesn't mean she isn't morally superior.

    Another anti intellectual rant from a right wing front group.

    I think we white males are supposed to hate ourselves. I'll pass on that.

    How sad that the judgement is made based on the color of ones skin. Privilege does exist and comes in all colors. What a slap in the face for those who came from nothing and worked hard to achieve success.

    We are real helpers that way!

    On Saturday the NY Post ran a piece headlined, "'Her heart is not in the Bronx': Ocasio-Cortez's constituents turn against her."
    Delgado tweeted,
    Vitaliano, 78, also wants Ocasio-Cortez to pressure Amtrak to clean up graffiti at property it owns on Tremont Avenue.
    he told the board gathering, where other elected officials — from the city and state but not AOC’s office — sent staffers.

    By contrast, he said, residents’ needs received much more attention under Rep. Joe Crowley, whom Ocasio-Cortez unseated in a surprise primary upset last year.

    The longtime congressman’s Bronx district representative, Thomas Messina, regularly attended community board meetings, according to Vitaliano.
    Vitaliano said.

    Cortez tweeted about improving mail service in the Bronx this month, but nothing happened.

    A Bronx "community rep" for Cortez visited the graffiti site and still nothing happened.

    The animal shelter site was spared — thanks to help from the City Council and the mayor’s office, Cortez did nothing.
    The Post also reports that they made
    Her official website features a "scheduling request," which gets you no more than her unattended voicemail box.

    All Republicans do is call attention to her, that she is always doing something stupid, isn't our fault!

    You’re even worse at mind reading than you are at text reading.

    The problem is folks who try to use that BS excuse, racism is a real problem in this country even in today's society. To try and rewrite it off as someone using it to be lazy and uneducated is downright just being dishonest.

    Wow, so you are telling me you don't think that the white male has had a leg up on everyone else in this country since it was founded.

    If it is such a big problem now, why do you need to go back to when the country was founded to make your point? Please tell us what one cannot achieve today, due to racism.

    Well I know that doesn't always hold true, my wife at the time had a BA and a white guy in the office had an AD my wife also had more time on the job and a manager tried to promote him over her. HR had to put the boot down on it.

    Racism entails more than just being denied a job or a promotion. I am pretty sure you know that.

    Huh? I can’t believe you are comparing the neo-Nazis to people who have been privileged for generations. The neo-Nazis want it to be the way it used to be

    Let me explain something to you in an analogy. You are told over and over by a teacher that you are stupid and ugly. As a result the other kids saw you as stupid and ugly and you believed you were stupid and ugly. Then one day someone spoke to the teacher and said never do that again. Do you really believe that all those people stopped saying you were stupid and ugly? Now let’s look at segregation which wasn’tjuat when the country was founded it wasn’t that long ago . Black people were told They were inferior and couldn’t sit with white people on the bus, couldn’t eat near them and couldn’t even drink water out of the water fountain. That message was internalized by white people and black people as well and it just doesn’t go away because it becomes illlegal. The damage was done and it will take several generations to undo this internalization. Young people today who are unaware of segregation are much more tolerant.

    Yes, we agree on that. My question was what one cannot achieve today, due to racism.

    That's not surprising when considering it was mostly founded by White men. Why would you expect otherwise?
