US Politics/2020 Election Pick Your Poison Master Thread

Yes. He picks on all his opponents, white black or green. Makes no difference

That does not absolve him of his racist posts.
Trumpsters used the same logic when he mocked the disabled reporter. They claimed he does it to everyone. Does not matter if it was true or not as there was no doubt he was mocking the reporter.

Blacks don't have immunity towards criticism. That's absurd. Same with disabled people to a lesser extent.
I don't call a rude cashier an antisemite just because he slights me

You missed the point. Saying he does something to everyone does not excuse racist posts, behavior or comments.

Look at the bases named after confederate generals. Why would he not want to rename them when he has said many times he hates losers?

Because their agenda is to fundamentaly change America and all of its history. Meanwhile America is the least racist country in the world. Changing it will only make it worse.

Besides, these generals weren't immoral people. They owned slaves which was UNIVERSALLY accepted. I can't imagine if they were living now that they would own slaves or agree to the idea currently. Even trump doesn't own slaves.
America had a quick turnaround from black being slaves to full rights and opportunities as any other American citizen.

So he posts a video he knows is racist and he is not a racist. Do you factor in all the other times he has done the same or similar?

Just curious, if retweeting a tweet is considered as if you said it or atleast agree with the tweet. Shouldn’t  deleting it be considered as if you didn’t say it or atleast don’t agree with the tweet?

But he's black so he might not understand  racism the same way a white does

If that is the case then say so instead of saying racist are great people.

Link does not work but I can guess what he is saying. The blacks have a name for individuals like him.
I am sure you can find blacks that say he isn't a racist. You can also find Jews that will say someone is not an anti-Semite.

Lets get this straight. They fought to keep slavery. They fought against our great country. They lost and you want to honor them?
You can make a legitimate argument for the statues but not for naming military bases after them.

[CountValentine]

How much losing can this guy take?

is that the msn version of the civil war ? Get out more......
 and learn about what the Civil War was about
(it was more about the Southerners being sick and tired of being told how to live their lives ... yes slavery was a part of it... Sort of the same way lots of people in this country are getting sick and tired of being told how to live theirs and what privilege to check)
talk about Robert E Lee for example, he was offered command of Union army and was anti-slavery but as soon a Virginia seceded, he announced that he's a Virginian first and American second, and the rest is history. and History is very complicated especially when it's being rewritten and reshaped to a specific narrative.

The civil war wasn't between the north and the south. It was between the newly formed Republican party who were anti-slavery and the pro-slavery Democrats.

What's new at MSN?

"On Twitter earlier this week, the Democratic National Committee seized on the spiritual importance of the Black Hills, writing that the rally would be 'glorifying white supremacy at Mount Rushmore — a region once sacred to tribal communities' "

I personally think Harris is most suited to be VP. I don't agree with her policies, but I was very impressed with her as a candidate. I was honestly surprised that she dropped out when she did.
