I mean, he's not totally wrong. From what I gathered in the clip he's saying that everyone, even seemingly nice normal people, have racist thoughts and that should be talked about and addressed rather than pretending they don't exist.

Now as to what exactly we should DO about racism, that I'm pretty sure he's a good ole boy dipshit about.

the clip sure, but don't worry - he clarified his comments in case you briefly thought he was being at all slightly based

“What I said is there’s been racism in America, and we need to do everything we can to eradicate it and stand united regardless of skin color,” he said. “The far left wants to divide us on race with ANTIFA and Black Lives Matter, and Barry Moore does it by voting to keep CRT [critical race theory] in our military."

I recently, after having not done so for a long time, went to an adult dancing club. And I had to keep poking myself in the back of the head. Remember, this is a job. She wants your money. She doesn't actually like you or likely find you interesting or funny. She's likely having forgotten your existence five minutes after she left your presence. At the VERY BEST, she might remember you as a polite customer who tipped well and only if she runs into an rear end in a top hat later. And then, only briefly. By the next day you are gone from her mind. It's all a schtick to get your money. Enjoy the fantasy, but never forget it is that, and don't toss too much money in the grip of such a thing.

But, I suspect whatever microscopic ember of actual, legit liking that lovely lady theoretically may/could have had for me had is 10 million times more than anything anyone has EVER felt towards Donald Trump. And that's what he deserves. The shame is he's such a broken mess he can never realize how sad and pathetic that is.

Wouldn't work. The whole thing about Scrooge was that he was very grumpy and bitter, but under all that he was a decent man and just needed a good hard wallop to remind him that the world is larger and has more potential, even then, than he had come to see it for. Trump has nothing, no heart, no soul, just a screaming void.

To be probably overly far to fair to the dude, he does go on to say people should go out and talk to people of different races to try and fix racists views. So at least he's acknowledging racism is an issue that should tried to be fixed, and just talking to people your prejudice against is a go way to start.

Still a crap answer from a definite racists but I dunno slightly better than no racism does not and never has existed in the US, and just all the poo poo trump has ever said on race, which obviously is just about the lowest bar. God at this point If their not tattooing the swastik on their forehead it's almost a relief.

1. Good luck enforcing that.

2. The law is guaranteed 100% to have been written by the technology-illiterate, so it's going to likely encompass far more than they intended. (See: literally any website with a comment section.)

EDIT: I retract the second part of #2. I read through the proposed bill and the number of exclusions pretty much means that almost NO platform qualifies. :lol:

Republican National Committee considering move that would declare Trump the presumptive nominee

https://www.cnn.com/2024/01/25/poli...z13TGmX7n_Iwn7Q


A draft resolution circulating among the Republican National Committee would formally declare Donald Trump the Republican Party’s 2024 presumptive nominee.

While the former president would still need to reach the delegate requirements necessary to win the nomination, if the resolution is approved, he would have access to the RNC’s data operation, benefit from fundraising with the RNC, and have the support of all of the committee’s ground operations. It would also mean the committee would be supporting Trump and effectively opposing former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley – an unprecedented break from the party’s past approach to the nominating process.

The resolution, which is being reviewed by the RNC, was proposed by David Bossie, an RNC committeeman from Maryland who recently endorsed Trump. The resolution was first reported by The Dispatch on Thursday. A draft copy of the resolution was obtained independently by CNN.

“RESOLVED that the Republican National Committee hereby declares President Trump as our presumptive 2024 nominee for the office of President of the United States and from this moment forward moves into full general election mode welcoming supporters of all candidates as valued members of Team Trump 2024,” the resolution reads.

An RNC spokesperson said in a statement that this resolution is still just a resolution and not the current stance of the committee.


Welp, I guess some of the GOP chuds just want to gently caress the primaries altogether now.
