GOP senator: Rep. King's white supremacy remarks hurt nation

[Tigerace117]

Lefties find fault with everything a republican says and nothing a democrat says, especially radical black racist democrats who say things which really are racist and not just misjudged to be racist.

Are you seriously trying to claim that King's statement wasn't racist?

His statement bemoaning the fact that it isn't socially acceptable to be a white supremacist anymore?

Really bud?

#1: I saw nothing SHE did wrong, only that a Rep challenging her was making racist comments.

#2: all allegations and accusations, no quotes

#3 saw no racist statements, only accusations of racism against others

#4 she made some overly-generalized racial comments about whites being racist. OK, you got one, very minor, example, but how can you blame someone for calling it out? It was the generalization that was wrong, racist, yes.

You'll have to pull out exact quotes if you want to prove your argument.

At this point you can continue to deny if you wish. I don't feel like trying to convince someone of facts that I've provided that are objectively clear on their own and are self-evident.

I do have one suggestion, however, and that is that you may want to research exactly what the definition of racism actually is. It seems we may be using two different definitions. I'm using the universally accepted broad definition of the word: Racism, also called racialism, any action, practice, or belief that reflects the racial worldview—the ideology that humans may be divided into separate and exclusive biological entities called “races”; that there is a causal link between inherited physical traits and traits of personality, intellect, morality, and other cultural and behavioral features; and that some races are innately superior to others. Since the late 20th century the notion of biological race has been recognized as a cultural invention, entirely without scientific basis.

 

[Beaudreaux]

That's your opinion and I disagree but that's not what this topic is about.

It was obvious the Dems wanted the blacks to be as comfortable as possible on campus and so they supported THEIR CHOICE of where to live.

In your reply above, you literally wrote yourself that it was the student's decisions that were racist:



So...not the Democrats

That's sad, truly.

Replace the races and political party in your post above and tell me if it could be seen as racist?

My Baby lived 3.5 years, and it was extremely rewarding..... I learned a lot from that and it was hard but I decided some time ago that I am never going to regret what I do for love. I have in this life tended to roll big and sometimes then lose big but you know what.....I am not actually convinced that I get to come back, so I decided to be ALL IN.

One of the best moves I have made this was.

I suggest that you not **** with me.



EDIT: BTW my second is coming over tomorrow with his wife who also worked for me....one of the best waitresses I have ever seen...and she wanted to work for me. He is really awesome too, as a chef and as a manager and as a man and as a human and as a friend.

That should tell you something.

Nothing weirder that believing people want to be waiters when there are literally hundreds or thousands of professions which people would do and get paid 10x as much for a tenth of the physical energy.

I understand being a "chef" at a Michelin rated restaurant or even Guy Fieri but the overwhelming majority of people don't want to be waiters.

So detached from reality.

That's right. Lefties have butchered the statements of their enemies in their zeal to find fault, while overlooking very bad racist attitudes from democrats in their statements. Consider Hillary Clinton calling Donna Brazile a "brain dead buffalo" because Matt Lauer managed to get by Brazile to ask Hillary about her illegal emails.

Putin loves the republican shutdown hurting and endangering the USA, along with our complete impotence overseas. McConnell is the ultimate traitor.

No. The ultimate traitor is the spy Trump.

WASHINGTON — President Trump boasted about highly classified intelligence in a meeting with the Russian foreign minister and ambassador last week, providing details that could expose the source of the information and the manner in which it was collected, a current and a former American government official said Monday.

The intelligence disclosed by Mr. Trump in a meeting with Sergey V. Lavrov, the Russian foreign minister, and Sergey I. Kislyak, the Russian ambassador to the United States, was about an Islamic State plot, according to the officials. A Middle Eastern ally that closely guards its own secrets provided the information, which was considered so sensitive that American officials did not share it widely within the United States government or pass it on to other allies.

King literally whined about white supremacy not being socially acceptable anymore.

That's as blatantly racist as it gets.

And no amount of "but Hilary" tantrums change that fact.

Iowa Republican congressman Steve King says he's not a racist, but he faced intensifying criticism Friday over his remarks about white supremacy, including from a black GOP senator who said such comments are a blight on the nation and the party.

For the second time in two days, King insisted that he is an advocate for "Western civilization," not white supremacy or white nationalism. But he didn't deny remarks published a day earlier in The New York Times in which he was quoted saying: "White nationalist, white supremacist, Western civilization — how did that language become offensive?"
===========================================================
King's comments were celebrated in a Tweet from David Duke, formerly of the KKK. King himself said he looked forward to seeing future generations where everyone looked the same.

And yet his party does not remove him and then complain when we call them the "party of racists". Now I would add seditious for their continued support of Putin's puppet so now we have the GOP as the party of seditious racists. It it any wonder that anyone of intelligence is running away from them as fast as they can? My how the party of Lincoln has fallen.

Steve King has been an embarrassment to the GOP since he was elected to the US House of Representatives. He is not and should not be used as a comparison to the rest of the GOP, as Senator Tim Scott said today...

Why shouldn't the GOP be held accountable? The other GOP members say about King's comments; "Oh, that's terrible." But then what do they do afterwards? Nothing. They don't primary him. They don't censure him. They don't do anything. If King's views aren't reflective of his own party. Then why do they allow him to participate in formation of policy by putting him on such committees such as the Judiciary committee and subcommittees on Constitution and immigration? If the GOP is truly serious about racism and white nationalism then don't allow people like King to participate in the formation of policy and don't allow people like Trump to head up your party.

I did a simple Google search and found many. Here's just two so you know it wasn't just one school: https://sacramento.cbslocal.com/2016/09/08/segregation-or-sanctuary-black-only-university-housing-draws-criticism/ and https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/csu-black-student-housing_us_57d03c69e4b03d2d4597b491

I went to these two pages looking for racist Democratic lawmakers who espouse white supremacy "just like Republicans" and found a handful of black leftist social justice warrior crybabies who want a "safe space" in campus housing.

Then I went to another one of Beaudreaux's posts, thinking maybe he had hidden the Democratic white supremacists there.
Nope.

Beaudreaux, you're actually a smart guy, I know you are.
This is why I am embarrassed for you.

Steve King is a white supremacist without the pointy white hood. He doesn't talk openly of lynching black people, he doesn't tell nigger jokes, and he doesn't openly call for endorsements by the Klan. He wears a suit and tries to look respectable, the way Lee Atwater taught him.

But somewhere along the way, King decided that maybe he could still look respectable by inserting little zings here and there, like "what's wrong with white supremacy?", thinking that no one would catch it. And in a place like Iowa, he's probably right.

Even in North Carolina, Steve King's remarks would draw fire, and you know it.
But I suspect he could do just fine in Mississippi or South Carolina.

I'd hate to think that King's attempted sublety is lost on you.

Even the "complaint" that allowing 20 beds to be set aside for black students who requested it is "segregation" is racist. You keep giving more examples of the overwhelmingly racist and now traitorous GOP. Their demise will not be mourned.

According to a new analysis from the Pew Research Center, 23 percent of Republican voters ages 18-29 have switched parties since 2015, against just 9 percent of Democratic voters in the same age range. As many as half of Republicans 30 and under have abandoned the party at one point or another during that time.

For clarification, there's no nuance or subtlety to King's racist actions, opinions, or statements - ever. He's a ****ing embarrassment to the US as a whole, much less the GOP, and I've said for years how I feel about him. In a thread a few years back, that was making fun of Johnson and few other Democrats for the stupid **** they say, I brought up that the GOP had its own idiots, and used King as the prime example. There's no way that I would be caught dead doing anything that could be construed as defending the piece of ****. So please, if I've given you any reason what-so-ever to think otherwise, accept my sincere apology for the confusion and know that the truth is the complete and utter opposite.

I acknowledge that we have our share of kooks on the D side but I was just pointing out that they're not generally white supremacists. If they are, they're about as rare as hen's teeth, or even rarer, like maybe as rare as "Zen socialist truth tellers who support Trump".

 

[Atomic Kid]

Just like a pedophile is one of yours?

You mean Roy Moore? Sorry, but that's one of yours obviously.

 

[ecofarm]

Segregation is segregation. Those student's choice is to be segregated from other races, based solely on race and no other factor (such as nice people versus bad people or being segregated by major of study - pre-med students segregated together from pre-law students as an example) - that's racism by its very definition.

It's not "based on race and no other factor". It's based on sociology and having a break from racism in one's face even at home.

All white supremacists are racist, but all racists aren't white supremacists.

You know I have the utmost respect for you, and try my best to show you that respect. That said, and aside, there's only one topic that I cannot discuss with you, and this is it.

I hope you had a great holiday season. I know you don't have to worry about this in Miami, but we're currently have freezing rain here at my house. All the cats ran in, even the barn cats. Gonna be an interesting night because they all don't get along, and the meowing and hissing has already started. Wish me luck.

 

[ALiberalModerate]

Think what you wish. There are racists in both parties, and neither party is a racist party.

Yes, but there are a lot more racists in the Republican base than in the Democrat base. I mean come on. The Republican voter base is about 95% white most elections. This is compared to a much more diverse electorate with the Democrats. Moreover, Trump, a man that ran the most racist and bigoted campaign for president since George Wallace, got more Republican Primary votes than any candidate in history.

That is not to say that most Republicans are racists, far from it, but let's not make a false equivalency here. There are a hell of a lot more racist Republicans than racist Democrats.

In fact, ask a Republican why minorities don't vote Republican, and typically you get one of two arguments:

1. Minorities like free stuff thus they vote Democrat - which is basically saying minorities are lazy.

Or,

2. Minorities are being duped by the Democrats - which is basically saying that minorities are stupid.

That in a nutshell is why the Republican Party these days is about as white as it can be.

Myself the same.

My point stands. A desire to not have to deal with racism in one's home is not racist. Some people want a break, some need a break due to crap that happened. There's no supremacy. There's no bigotry. It's a minority seeking refuge from an unjust society, at least in their house.

I'm not a minority but I might wanna live there just so I don't have to see any inbred redneck backwoods racist dumbass flying his confederate flag in the dorms. I'm white and I could use a break from neo nazis and their lite versions. I can't imagine how annoyed minorities must be.

I hope you had a great holiday season. I know you don't have to worry about this in Miami, but we're currently have freezing rain here at my house. All the cats ran in, even the barn cats.

Keeping poop machines is foolish, as is living in cold weather. You get what you deserve.

 

[Checkerboard Strangler]

All white supremacists are racist, but all racists aren't white supremacists.

Congratulations on the right wing politically correct definition of racism. Let me know when one of those "reverse racists" lynches somebody or sells them into slavery.

Let's sit back and see how the GOP handles this. My money is on them doing their usual ignoring problems until people aren't talking about it so much any more.

Do you even know what Rep. King said?

And no amount of "but Hilary" tantrums change that fact.

It is obvious that radical leftists do not understand King and do not want to understand King. They are driven by undiminished hatred for republicans since Trump won the election. They twist things republicans say in order to slander them as if that makes what they are doing right.
