I'm glad I'm not the only one here who possess the power of critical thinking and not wanting to support bad actions simply because they're bad actions regardless of who's expense they're at. I thought I was losing my mind for a moment the way the mob pounced on me for trying to be the voice of reason. Some real quality upstanding citizens here that makes you wonder why anyone wouldn't want to be associated with them.





The 1st Amendment is about protecting your right to speak out against your government without the fear of persecution. It's not about protecting the ability to be a blatant bigot demeaning groups of people for the color of their skin lightly cloaked in political agenda to gain the support of a bunch of room temperature IQ Republicans who'll flock to anything that seems to degrade the left without applying even a modicum of critical thinking. Just a bunch of lowest-common-denominator-type tribalism by people who don't even have enough of a spine to stand up for their own actions and instead say things like "well, they did it first!" as if that excuses anyone's behavior. What are we, five? Pathetic.

Full stop.

Why was the Republican party created?

?In 1854, the Republican Party emerged to combat the expansion of slavery into western territories after the passing of the Kansas?Nebraska Act. ?

?The early Republican Party consisted of northern Protestants, factory workers, professionals, businessmen, prosperous farmers, and, after the Civil War, former black slaves.?

Democrats are the biggest racists, always have been. Are you really naive enough to think reproductive rights are about women?s rights when the highest percentage of abortions are black babies every year?

? In 2020, Planned Parenthood disavowed Sanger, citing her past record with eugenics and racism.?

Do you also feel black people are too stupid to get an ID to vote like democrats think? I have had many conversations with black people about it and they are all insulted by that thought.

Correction, Freedom of speech gives you the right to express yourself without having to worry about government interference.

Only white liberals think everything is racist. People need to grow thicker skin.

IIRC, it was Marx (possibly Trotsky) who originated the word "racism" in order to shame and silence opponents.

That is exactly what the First Amendment protects.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

UK and Germany do not have a Bill of Rights. They are literally sending people to prison who shared a few memes on social media.

Not 30 days in jail, over a year in actual prison.

Whereas the migrants attacking citizens on the street are told, "No, no... we don't do that here... take this gift card and please behave better."

I disagree.

I love opposing viewpoints and the discussions the evoke.

I don't think he is "virtue signaling". His belief system is such that a reference to the Democrat run segregated south of the 50s and 60s is racist, regardless of its current usage. Absolutely nothing wrong with that or his airing of it.

My problem is with his declaring that he doesn't think it's funny. Therefore, no one else should either.

That is either complete and utter leftist authoritarian bullshit, or simple childlike closed mindedness.

If you are offended by something or don't find it funny that is great. That does not give you any authority to determine what others are allowed to think.

It's not "provocative" and saying I "don't understand history" because I call it what it is (racism) is the definition of irony. (Since others seemed to struggle with the definition of that word earlier)

Anyone who thinks that anything associated with that sign is funny doesn't understand history.

I don't think it is funny, outside of a schadenfreude type irony. The modern Democratic party has figuratively moved Blacks to the back of the intersectional political bus. Not technically the very back of the bus, that's where they put the Jews with their kowtowing to Palestinians and the "anti-colonial" movement. Of course, now I've brought in Blacks, Jews, Asians and Arabs, along with real Africans- oh my, which string of pearls to clutch first!!!!

I don't think its funny, I think it's true. That sign is why Trump, supposedly the greatest white racist of all time, gets more votes than any GOP POTUS candidate ever. It's kind of racist to think that non-white people voting for Trump don't know what's good for them, based on their race.

Blacks are being moved to the back of the political bus by the Krazy Karens of the Progressive and collectivist Democratic party. Sure, the Karens will say that they are only trying to help the Blacks, which is oddly close to the argument used to colonize outside of Europe, and ironically also a reason why White/European/American is hated by the Democrats.

The sign is 'funny' because it exposes the udder herd mentality of the Democratic party of a bunch of bloviating bovines often at odds with each other, but generally drifting, if not stampeding ever leftward.

My apologies Jer with the STFU, I was a few craft ciders in at that point, I don?t typically take that approach in my responses.
