I disagree with Michael Harriot. White supremacy is a product of right wing conservatives. Whether it was slavery, the KKK, Jim Crow, or any of that other horrible crap, it was always the conservatives who were most vocally and violently behind it. Maybe not every conservative is a white supremacist, but AFAIK, all white supremacists are conservative. It kind of goes with the whole "maintaining the powers that be and a shameful status quo" part of conservatism.
So let's not pretend it's something it's not, okay?
Conservatism is borne of a false consciousness brought about by broken people - people who can't play well with others, and who have an overactive amygdala so everything is fight or flight with them.
We as a global community would be better off if we started looking to getting these fuckers help rather than putting them in charge of anything important.
Whars Mindy? Has anyone seen any update since the March '24 announcement that the wedding (from the Jan '24 engagement) will be in August? Tim Scott might need to trot her out again, since tffg is checking out bank accounts and wife hotness, as VP criteria.
Oh, thats right, curious what it is about American women that Republicans dislike? Tffg married two immigrants, bookending one American that he cheated on (actually, he cheated on all of them) in his second marriage Mitch McConnell married an immigrant and now Tim Scott is reportedly marrying an immigrant…will Bidens new border policy affect her entry? I wonder how Tim voted on the Respect for Marriage Act? 👀
In November, McConnell voted against protections for interracial and same-sex marriages in the Respect for Marriage Act, despite being in an interracial marriage himself.
Like most conservative religious men, he longs for a time when women knew their place. Jim Crow may have bad for Black men, but at least it kept the Black women from getting too uppity. This thinking is right in line with the conservative longing for days when the man was the master of own household, regardless of what might have been happening in the rest of the world.
As someone I heard yesterday noted, Donald's "perfect Black family" wasn't that during Jim Crow anyway. In the average Black family in the South, the men were usually seasonal workers, unemployed outside of planting or harvest, and the women spent most of their time at some white family's home as a maid, leaving the children with little parental guidance.
Strange how to MAGA, what is best for Blacks is letting them be subservient to whites.
He mentions black people voting conservative during Jim Crow. A major part of Jim Crow was making sure black people couldn't vote. Pretty obvious if you look at the numbers of black congressman after Reconstruction ended and before the Civil Rights Act. Would Donalds fit the definition of "Uncle Tom"?
I have to believe that what Daniels is thinking of here is that during the early days of Jim Crow, Blacks voted, where they could vote, for Republicans. The Dems in those days were the party of Jim Crow, and blacks naturally went to the Republicans. That started to change in the 1930s with the New Deal, though there were still liberal Republicans into the 60s (Romney, Rockefeller). Daniels equates any voting for Republicans at any time period as "voting conservatively," which is a gross distortion of history.
The post states "...one of the lowest-integrity Republican congressmen this side of Nancy Mace..." You forgot the most lowest Republican in all Congress, and that would be the best boot-licker of them all, Tim Scott.
Joy Reid also pointed out that the BANK that can be made by Black people parroting White supremacist tropes (see this fool, Ben Carson,Tim Scott, Candace Owens, and of course the head grifter, Clarence Thomas). The same can be said for women parroting right-wing talking points.
The Tulsa Race Massacre is prime example of that, though I'm guessing they don't teach that in Florida schools (not that that's an excuse). Donalds wouldn't have been able to vote then, much less "serve" in Congress. Everything he said is so vile and completely ahistorical.
Sure Byron in the olden days the black family was together...unless somebody got lynched...or put in jail so they could work for free for the county...or the mom spent her days caring for white peoples' children rather than her own.

Ta, Evan. All Donalds needs is a bright red nose and oversize shoes.

I hear she's in Canada?

A lot of them want to be seen as fully fledged human beings. Ain't nobody got time for that./s

It’s weird that he longs for the days of Jim Crow but then dares to both vote and run for public office
And, presumably, walk down the street without stepping aside for white people.
(Secret agent super booger!)
Byron is a fucking🤡

Not even the slightest bit of strange, since MAGA is just White Supremacy with a red hat instead of white hood.

Uncle Tom gets a bad rap. He sacrificed himself for Liza.
Uncle Tom was obviously NOT “one of the better communicators in the Republican Party,” though.
Donalds needs to have a major change of heart.
Like a transplant?
Wakes up in a bathtub full of ice!
If you say so, Uncle Ruckus

Phyllis Schlafly got really rich fucking women over.
Don't forget Diamond and Silk.
Had to look those fools up.
Ugh. I remember them all too well.
During Jim Crow, as soon as a Black community became prosperous, White racists would destroy it and kill the inhabitants. So there’s that.
The Tulsa Race Massacre is prime example of that, though I'm guessing they don't teach that in Florida schools (not that that's an excuse). Donalds wouldn't have been able to vote then, much less "serve" in Congress. Everything he said is so vile and completely ahistorical.
Damn; getting some real Kent Brockman, “And I, for one, would like to welcome our ant overlords” energy from Byron here.
Sure Byron in the olden days the black family was together...unless somebody got lynched...or put in jail so they could work for free for the county...or the mom spent her days caring for white peoples' children rather than her own.
Byron Donalds is a race traitor, end of story.
