I sometimes wonder what it's like to see the world from BacKKKlash's perspective, being an effeminate frail soy based scarf hipster whose stupidity reaches gargantuan levels yet always insisting that he's the smartest and most informed person in the room.
I wonder if it's physically painful, or if it's ust pure bliss from being so fucking clueless about literally everything on the planet.
Basically I wonder if it's like this:

Holy shit, I didn’t even read that abortion of a comment of his. Hey, Back, there’s a reason hack “experts” always go by AFTER 9/11 when pushing this agenda of theirs, it’s because that one act of terrorism dwarfs everything else by comparison, even when you start adding years worth of other crimes and terrorist acts combined.
More since and including 9/11 my ass. If you shoved your fingers in your ears any farther you would poke your brain.
When have I ever said terrorism in general isn't an issue? Of course it is. Domestic terrorism falls under that category. I think its much more insidious. My opinion.
This all started with Tgo saying I condone Islamic terrorism. I'm simply trying to set him straight. He wants to apply his lunatic binary political confusion to try to tie my concern over white supremacy (domestic terrorism) to my not being concerned with any other terrorism. Sorry pal. Totally incorrect.
No, this all started with me saying you would turn a blind eye to this type of shit happening all over the world and that’s exactly what you’ve done.
“Oh it’s so terrible they said Jews should go back in the oven! Now let me tell you how the world is a different place now and Muslims are peaceful and loving and it’s them damn honkeys terrorizing everyone!”
The fact that you think "white supremacy," which is usually some random retard from Alabama or something waving a Confederate flag around or posting mean tweets or some shit, is "the most pressing issue in America," and a more pressing issue than Islamic terrorism, where they run people over, throw acid in their face, blow shit up, show up at Frozen 2 with machetes, etc. shows what a fucking dumbass self loathing retard you are.
You are the jack of all asses.
We get it, you hate white people because you think it will score you SJW points and one day some feminist might let you touch her hairy armpit.
Except you will never find a post of me saying all that because you lie.
White supremacy is serious. It is on the rise. Its not just some hillbilly with a confederate flag, its dudes marching in North Carolina where one ran his car into a crowd of peaceful protesters murdering one of them. Its a guy shooting up a Walmart in broad daylight because he hates immigrants. Its a guy shooting up a synagogue, and the list goes on.
Turning a blind eye to white supremacy is what caused the holocaust. No one that I know has ever advocated to turning a blind eye to terrorism of any kind domestically or around the world because thats fucking crazy and stupid.
But you sure as hell are starting to sound like you want to downplay domestic terrorism and your twisted logic, like Tgo's, means you think there is some direct opposite of your way of thinking, that your misguided belief means that there must be a political opponent to you, that must mean everyone you disagree with is trying to downplay global terrorism? You're embarrassing yourselves here.
You're fucking stupid.
Which is the greater overall threat? It's an easy fucking question. Which do you consider a bigger threat to the world?
One being a bigger overall threat than the other doesn't mean the other isn't also a threat/issue, fucking idiot.
We've already established that both are bad, so you can stfu with those deflections.
So let's try again...which do you consider the bigger overall threat?
You can always tell when Back learns a new word because he uses it all the time for like a week.Quote:

This is correct.
We're really proud of you that you learned a new word, Back. Who taught it to you? Is "binary" the buzz word of the week at MSNBC or something? Maybe one day you'll be able to speak to moisture vaporators.

Latinx is a gender-neutral neologism, sometimes used instead of Latino or Latina to refer to people of Latin American cultural or racial identity in the United States. The ⟨-x⟩ suffix replaces the standard ⟨-o/-a⟩ ending of nouns and adjectives, typical of grammatical gender in Spanish. Its plural is Latinxs.

Wacko "environmentalists" believe it's using the words "Climate Change" for their social and economic movement is the reason it hasn't taken off like they had hoped. It has nothing to do with their 40+ years of being wrong.. and everything to do with using a bad phrase.
So "Climate Change" is going to be changed to "Global Meltdown" or "Global Melting".... except when the polar ice is building up.. then it'll probably be called "Man Made Ice Age" or something equally "frightening".

Great response to Bloomberg, and completely valid IMO.
"President Trump’s 2020 reelection campaign will no longer issue credentials to Bloomberg News because of its decision to investigate Trump, but not his political opponents, campaign manager Brad Parscale announced Monday.Bloomberg News announced last week that it wouldn’t investigate its namesake owner, Mike Bloomberg, while he runs for president, or any other Democratic presidential candidate for that matter, but would continue to investigate President Trump.
“The decision by Bloomberg News to formalize preferential reporting policies is troubling and wrong,” Parscale wrote in a statement. "Bloomberg News has declared that they won’t investigate their boss or his Democrat competitors, many of whom are current holders of high office, but will continue critical reporting on President Trump.”"
Bloomberg doesn't have a prayer anyway unless poor people want to be taxed even more because nanny state...

A reporter asked Trudeau why Canada was falling behind on its NATO obligations, here was his response to that specific question:
“We’re engaged in substantive ways but also ways that reflect our leadership. Three of our top NATO leaders that are Canadians are actually women, incredibly qualified women, both in Rome, in the maritime fleet, and leading in Iraq. This is, these are the kinds of things that Canada does by stepping up.”
Canada's idea of "stepping up" to meet it's military funding obligation is apparently promoting more women generals or something.

So a racist white liberal attacked a black conservative on a college campus as the black conservative was filming the attack. The racist also shouted at the black man "You're going to wind up fucking dead!" Meanwhile the black student remains calm, doesn't fight back, and continues to record the white racist liberal.
How did the college president refer to the unprovoked and one sided attack and threat?
"I am deeply disturbed and appalled to learn that there was a fistfight on campus today between two students."
Why does that little bitch look like a Backlash relative? That wasn't a "fistfight", that was a pansy ass liberal closing his eyes right before he went to slap someone else.
This is just another example of how it has nothing at all to do with skin color, sexual preference or anything else.. and 100% because of politics.

Mall Santa ‘Fired’ After Someone Complained Because He Wore a Pro-Trump Hat
.Quote:
https://pluralist.com/wp-content/upl...Mall-Santa.jpg
A Georgia man says he was fired from his job as a shopping mall’s Santa Claus after a manager complained about his wearing of a pro-Trump hat.
“It really was an innocent thing. It really was,” Frank Skinner, a supporter of President Donald Trump who has nearly five decades of experience as a mall Santa, told First Coast News.
Skinner, who worked at the Mall at Waycross Shopping Center, shared a post to Facebook on Tuesday describing his account of the controversy.
MORE: Family Says Boy Being Brutally Beaten in Viral Video Was Targeted Because He Wore a Trump Hat
He said he put on the hat while the mall was closing and no children were nearby. Someone snapped a photo, which he uploaded to his Facebook account “for laughs.”
Skinner believes someone saw the photo and passed it along to mall management and the media.
According to a post shared by Skinner on Facebook, mall management initially told him they’d received a request for him to stop wearing the Trump hat.
First Coast News contacted the mall and asked for a statement.
“The statement the mall received claimed I would be replaced and from that point on this all became a massive controversy,” Skinner said in the Facebook post.
“When I spoke to the Mall management they advised me that I would be removed from rotation for a few days to investigate. Then I read the statement made by the Mall Management to the news and gathered I had actually been fired,” he added.
Skinner said he is “still waiting for an official communication.”
“Together we trying to discern what’s appropriate going forward. There has been no official action at this point,” Skinner said.
“I just felt like my constitutional rights were being taken away,” he told First Coast News.
Skinner has received an outpouring of support from members of the public who believe his support of the president should be uncontroversial.
https://i.imgur.com/DlGfkV7.png
“This is a disgrace. Any citizen should be allowed to support the current president and leader of the country. All future Santas must supply and display their voter registration card. Anyone labeled liberal or Democrat is automatically disqualified as it hateful against America,” said one commenter replying to a post on Skinner’s Facebook page.
Skinner said he “in no way meant to cause anyone discomfort” by wearing the hat.
“Obviously it did offend some folks. I can assure everyone that was not my intent. I have learned a lot from this. Going forward I will keep this in mind,” he said.
Skinner also apologized to RCG Ventures, the real estate company that owns the Mall at Waycross.
“[I]n closing lets all remember this is the Christmas Season lets put aside our differences and LET’S CELEBRATE IN KEEPING CHRIST IN CHRISTMAS !!!!” Skinner said in his Facebook post.

A bunch of morons on Twitter are losing their minds over "white supremacist hand symbols" being displayed by cadets at the Army/Navy football game.
The "white supremacist hand symbol" was of course the okay hand symbol. These morons never learn.
The communists, I mean Democrats, in VA are working overtime in order to destroy the freedoms of VA citizens. On election night they were already talking about going through with gun confiscation so some sheriffs said they wouldn't comply with the law and some counties and cities also said they wouldn't comply with the law. A Democrat congressman has already suggested the use of force via employing the VA National Guard. Why do Democrats hate America and freedoms so much?
I live in VA and I'm pretty pissed at this. They just won both sides for the first time in a while and if they push this crap thru they won't get it back for a long time after this. The republicans will win it back next election and everything will get tossed out and put back to how it was.
Not to mention the proposed ban is unconstitutional.
They are actually conducting an investigation into a couple of cadets at the Army/Navy football game because they were playing the circle game because of course Democrats screamed it was really a white power symbol.
Remember a couple of years ago when 30 black female cadets in uniform were literally doing the black power fist and no one cared and the military said no big deal? I wonder if they will reach the same conclusion here or offer up those white cadets on the altar of the always angry Democrats on social media.

Dude, he did a LOT more than burn a gay flag. Read the whole article.
Going from memory... he threatened to burn do n the whole strip club with everyone in it. Also a serial repeat offender.
That's not mentioned in the article (nor the article linked inside of this article) at all but I suppose that's entirely possible.
This is what the prosecutor stated was the reasoning for hate crime charges:
He was charged with a hate crime because of "what it (the flag) represents as far as sexual orientation."Quote:
Story County Attorney Jessica Reynolds said hate crime charges were added because Martinez is suspected of criminal mischief against someone's property because of "what it represents as far as sexual orientation."
I didn't even know it was possible to be charged with a hate crime because of "criminal mischief" you conduct against an inanimate object but here we are. They don't even state here it's because he threatened anyone or made implied threats or anything, just simply because of "what it represents as far as sexual orientation."
I was with you til I read a bit more about it. Dude belongs in prison.
So I figured this cannot possibly be true, so I researched it with the goal of proving Tgo wrong so I could poke him about verifying his sources.
Problem is, Tgo is right. Here's another link: https://www.nbcnews.com/feature/nbc-...lgbtq-n1105131
To be fair I did find one source that mentioned he threatened to burn down a gay club, but it made no mention that the threat had anything to do with the hefty jail sentence and it was literally mentioned in one sentence in the article as if it were an afterthought. The fact that I read at least a dozen articles that made no mention of the threat leads me to believe that either all of these news outlets didn't feel it was that important to mention, or it played a minor role in the entire criminal process. I'm guessing it didn't play much of a role because just saying stupid shit typically isn't considered an actual threat, it's only when the threat is credible or someone makes it directly towards the person they are threatening, this sounded more like he was just talking shit after the whole flag burning.
So yes it does seem he received 16 years in jail for stealing a flag and burning it.
You also know the guy isn't white because this story wasn't the top national news story for weeks.
Matt Shea...report highlighting him being involved in domestic terrorism. Unsurprisingly tgo silent on that.
/facepalm
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-w...-idUSKBN1YO1S0Quote:
The Republican House leadership immediately called for Shea’s resignation, suspended him from the party caucus and removed him from his ranking position on the House Environment and Energy Committee.
Just looked this guy up, apparently this news just broke today.
Since I'm apparently supposed to report on all of the Republicans accused of wrong doing you must be in charge of reporting on all of the wrong doings of Democrats, and boy are you behind!
Namely there are about a half dozen Democrats within the past couple of years accused of embezzlement, stealing from a charity (actual stealing from a charity and not bullshit like in Trump's case but the media accused him of stealing anyways), bribery, or other assorted graft crimes.
The Lt Gov of Virginia is a rapist.
Or how about the Virginia state senator who is a convicted sex offender for having sex with a minor and lost his law license due repeated ethical violations.
That's all just off the top of my head.
You're way behind on your reporting, Alfster! Get to it!
“I never understood wind,” Trump said. “I know windmills very much, I have studied it better than anybody. I know it is very expensive. They are made in China and Germany mostly, very few made here, almost none, but they are manufactured, tremendous — if you are into this — tremendous fumes and gases are spewing into the atmosphere. You know we have a world, right?”“So the world is tiny compared to the universe. So tremendous, tremendous amount of fumes and everything. You talk about the carbon footprint, fumes are spewing into the air, right spewing, whether it is China or Germany, is going into the air,” he continued.
“A windmill will kill many bald eagles,” Trump continued. “After a certain number, they make you turn the windmill off, that is true. By the way, they make you turn it off. And yet, if you killed one, they put you in jail. That is OK. But why is it OK for windmills to destroy the bird population?”
Trump has frequently brought up eagles when bashing windmills, with PolitiFact finding he has inflated figures of eagles getting killed by wind turbines.

Democrats in VA, you know the party of "But there are too many people in jail!!!!" have just increased the state's correctional budget in anticipation of enforcing their gun confiscation scheme and jailing gun owners who don't abide by the law.
Something tells me this won't be met with the usual "Stop jailing people!!!!" rhetoric from main stream Democrats. Who knew Democrats were against mass incarceration unless it was being carried out by a racist governor who dresses in black face, a rapist Lt Gov, a state attorney general who also likes to dress in black face, and at least one state lawmaker who literally spent time in jail for having sex with a minor.
Guess Democrats really haven't changed much since the 40's and 50's.

As far as I can tell the story is actually that a scammer called him claiming that's what was going on, and he believed them. He didn't actually get involved with child porn.
https://arstechnica.com/information-...-internet-day/
Quote:
Paul Krugman, the Nobel Prize-winning economist, professor at the City University of New York, and New York Times columnist, experienced a chain of what appear to be Internet scam mishaps based on posts to Twitter that he later deleted. Initially, Krugman claimed to be "on the phone with my computer security service, and as I understand it someone compromised my IP address and is using it to download child pornography."
This is a common phone scam trope, and it appears that Krugman finally realized it was a scam—with the New York Times security team responding to assist him. But that wasn't until he tweeted again in confusion about another scam in the form of a spam email regarding a deposit to a nonexistent Bitcoin wallet.

Governor blackface: LOL! Let's ban all guns!

This is how it all happened too, word for word, and the names are all 100% spot on.
What is wrong with Democrats that they are now declaring states of emergency because of rallies?
Remember how Trump supposedly hated brown people because he wasn't doing enough to help Puerto Rico a couple of years ago after the hurricane?
They have now found at least two warehouses filled with aid that was delivered to the territory but was purposefully never distributed to the citizens and at least 1 person has already been fired for this.
Here we have at least one evil official who purposefully didn't send out aid and let people starve to death in an attempt to make Trump and the federal government look bad. Which story do you think got more news coverage, this story, or the original "Orange Man Bad" story?
Hint, it's the latter.
Apparently we're up to at least 3 officials have been fired so far.

This is bullshit. You either take all the reporters, even the shitty ones, or none. I'm 100% good with no WH pressers, that's their prerogative. I an NOT in favor of selective journalists participating. Jim Acosta is a fool and an idiot, but he ask questions with everyone else unless he's out of line (then he gets his credentials removed).
I dunno, if what Pompeo is alleging I think it's fair game to exclude that reporter.
There is a big difference between legitimate journalism and activist reporters, and unfortunately in the age of Trump almost all reporters are just activist reporters now.
Again this is if what Pompeo is alleging is true, if Pompeo just decided this out of nowhere then I would agree it's bullshit.
He’s saving tax dollars.
And when Acosta did get his credentials revoked for being a fool and an idiot, every other "journalist" demanded that he get them back and CNN sued to get them reinstated.
So.. when is it really appropriate for the WH to remove a journalist from a presser or trip?
Sorry, I have zero sympathy for most "journalists" these days.
That's just Pompeo being a whining baby because a reporter wanted to talk about Ukraine. Was he expecting a reporter to not want to talk about Ukraine? The emails between his staff and the reporter clearly indicate that the conversation would start with Iran but that Ukraine was not off the table. If his staff didn't communicate that to Pompeo properly that's not Mary Louise Kelly's fault. Bottom line is that Pompeo should have no expectation that a reporter wouldn't ask him about the hottest topic in the news. That's the reporter's job.
Lol. Shoddy craftmanship caused a section of the new border wall to fall over today. Super effective use of tax dollars guys.

NFL Commissioner Says What the League Needs Is More Diversity
https://media0.giphy.com/media/10p70...N7i/source.gifQuote:
MIAMI, Jan 29 – The National Football League needs to do better when it comes to minority hiring, Commissioner Roger Goodell said on Wednesday in his Super Bowl state of the league address, but he stood by the league’s efforts to improve player safety.
Despite the fact that 70 percent of NFL players are African American over the last three years, only two of 19 head coaching jobs have gone to black candidates.
During the most recent hiring cycle to fill five head coaching vacancies, only one went to a minority when Ron Rivera was hired by the Washington Redskins.
“Clearly we are not where we want to be on this level,” conceded Goodell. “We need to change, do something different.
“There’s no reason to expect we are going to have a different outcome next year without those kind of changes and we have already begun engaging in those changes. It is clear we are all committed to doing that and we have to make those changes.”
Goodell, however, refused to concede any ground over criticism that the league is not doing enough to improve player safety, downplaying statistics that show concussions are up this past season.
The debate over player safety has increased with the NFL looking at the possibility of adding a 17th regular season game to the schedule, which would be included in the next Collective Bargaining Agreement negotiations.
“Safety has been at the forefront and our number one priority of our players,” said Goodell. “Over the last 10-to-15 years we have made over 50 rule changes to make our game safer.
“Concussions are up but they are up only slightly, statistically insignificant from a very low last year.”
Goodell also confirmed that the NFL will return to Mexico for games in the 2020 and 2021 seasons. Last November the Kansas City Chiefs and Los Angeles Chargers played in Mexico City in front on 76,252 fans.
The commissioner also said the NFL would continue to play games in London, but said there was no timeline for a franchise there.
Goodell also said the league plans to honor 18-time NBA All-Star Kobe Bryant during Sunday’s Super Bowl between the San Francisco 49ers and Kansas City Chiefs as the sporting world mourns the death of Los Angeles Lakers star in a helicopter crash on Sunday.
The Rooney Rule
The NFL’s adoption of the Rooney Rule in 2003 hasn’t had the expected effect of increasing the number of black head coaches, critics say.
“It’s very discouraging that this continues to happen,” Richard Lapchick, the director of The Institute for Diversity and Ethics in Sport at Central Florida, told the Associated Press. “It’s not like there are no qualified candidates. These people are out there and ready.”
But others have pointed out that discrepancies regarding racial representation in the NFL cut in more than one direction.

Daily Wire contributor Matt Walsh noted that there has as yet been no uproar about the lack of white cornerbacks in the league.

Winds are considered "high" when they are approximately 40 mph.. so yes, 37 mph winds are considered "high".
You also claimed that the reason the wall fell over was due to "Shoddy craftsmanship" which is a far cry from uncured cement in a high wind condition.
You're being purposely obtuse at this point and it's not a good look on you. A symptom of severe TDS.
Stop it.

This came on TV the other day so I felt compelled.
The walls are braced with temporary bracing. The sequence is normally like this: foundations are poured, as are the brace attachment points. After the foundation is cured, the walls are stood up with a crane and fastened to the foundation AND to the temporary braces (you can see one in the video). With building walls, you would leave the braces in place until the rest of the structure (roof framing and any floor level wall connections) are in place. In this case, they might be pouring concrete around the walls and then backfilling. That's the only concrete that might not have been cured, but that is no excuse. The bracing is supposed to be designed by a structural engineer and certified by them. It's clear in the video that some Yahoo with a piece of equipment is desperately trying to weigh down the brace connection with a large block of concrete, a very unsafe thing to be trying to do in high winds. That wall, and the bracing, should be designed to withstand much higher winds than those indicated.
The real question I have around this whole thing?.... how will libs do mental gymnastics to blame it all on Trump? Like construction never has issues, unless it’s something associated with Trump.
This is an actual headline and article from CNN:
Coronavirus task force another example of Trump administration's lack of diversity
I was wonder how the Democrats and media were going to spin this virus as somehow being bad on Trump's fault and dammit if Fake News Network themselves didn't come through with flying colors.
Design wind gust speed for California is 100 miles per hour for the least restrictive building class, with sustained wind of 45 miles per hour. The winds are reported to have been gusts up to 37mph, or about 1/3rd the required design wind speed. In other words, not a strong wind. Sounds like shoddy workmanship to me. Dumbasses out there trying to fix it in the middle of the winds further reinforces that maybe they should hire a different contractor. That sort of unnecessary risk taking is a good sign of a shoddy contractor. Now I'm curious about what contractor is dumb enough to do that on a federal project. They should expect an OSHA fine.
I don't know what to tell you. 40 mph wind is strong, it can potentially knock over trees and rip siding off of houses, I'm sure it can knock over a 30 foot tall free standing wall that is anchored to concrete that hasn't had time to cure yet. Even the local weather was warning people that the wind is strong enough to cause damage when this happened. If these sections of wall had been finished then I would say yeah, that's pretty bad that 40 mph wind can knock it over.
I do agree though that trying to fix the damage while the wind was still strong was pretty stupid. Were they trying to fix it or was Mexico like get your fucking wall off our land and they were trying to remove it? I don't know.
I explained how a wall is temporarily braced and the wind speed it should be designed for by law in the state of California. Your description of a 37 mph wind as strong is irrelevant when the wall should have been designed to withstand 100 mph winds. Fortunately people who do know write the standards.
Granted I'm not an expert so I'll defer to your expertise here; if the wall is built on the border (judging from the pictures it looks like less than a foot from the border with Mexico, I'm just guessing it's even closer than that), and the wall fell over onto the Mexican side, wouldn't they need to brace the wall from the Mexican side and wouldn't there not be enough room for the bracing? I find it hard to believe Mexico is allowing anything built on their side of the border but I suppose anything is possible.
I also don't think the federal government has to conform to California's laws when it comes to building a security border wall. If that were the case the state of California would create some crazy ass regulations to ensure the wall could never be built in their state.
You are correct that the federal government doesn't have to comply with state regulations, but the wind design speeds come from the International Code Council, (that's the name, but it's really US code), which in turn gets them from a standards testing organization, I forget which one. Bottom line is that no engineer of record worth their salt would ignore those standards,but it's likely that someone did, which lead to shoddy design.
In answer to the bracing side question, you can brace from either side, in fact you don't design for prevailing wind direction so much as the load of the wind in general.
At the end of the day it's a screw up, and screw ups happen. The real sign of a good contractor is how quickly and correctly they fix mistakes and keep the project moving forward.
That's what they do. You can see the poles in the video. The little horizontal cross pieces on the Mexican side of the wall are the top connections to the wall, and the guy with the lift appears to be trying to way down a pole anchor with a block of concrete.
What you can't see, is that somewhere under ground there's a concrete footing that was cured, and the wall was also anchored to that. Those anchor points are now compromised, and should be excavated and redone.
The crazy left: OMG! Trump hates the planet! He wants to sit by and do nothing as climate change kills us all in 12 years!!!!!!
Trump: I want to help plant 1 trillion trees!
The crazy left: Planting 1 trillion trees might not actually be a good idea
This is just getting sad now.
I can't believe I get to top this already.
The crazy left: OMG! So many blacks are in prison! This is racism! We need criminal justice reform!
Trump: Here is some criminal justice reform.
The crazy left: But criminal justice reform makes Trump look good! BAD!
So, a guy serving time in prison for molesting 15 kids between the ages of 1 (!!!) and 15 has been released, not because he served his time, but because he now identifies as a woman and is taking estrogen, so of course he is now incapable of molesting kids anymore because it no longer has a “male sex drive”, and of course that “an offender’s hormone levels are an important part of substantiating an offender’s likelihood of recidivism.”
Right, so molest a bunch of kids, say your a female, and hey, the progressives will just give you a get out of jail free card from now on. So, I curious, the next time some pedo goes to trial, do they just declare him not guilty if he says he's female now and is on estrogen? And how long till some scumbag kiddy rapist decides to use this as a defense in his trial?
Seriously, the progressive left has literally lost their shit. I've got an idea, why doesn't the states attorney general have Ms. Josie Smith move in with him and watch his kids because he's no longer a threat. Fucking idiot.

Yet the right is connected with the Catholic faith. Lol
Pelosi recently got done reminding us that she's a Catholic as well.

Trump invites a wife and her children to the SOTU and reunites her with her husband, who was serving overseas, by surprising her by being at the SOTU as well.
CNN: Why "military reunion porn" is a bad thing.
I'm not even making this up. How much lower can CNN sink?
Honestly what's next?
Illegal alien murders a family of 4 in cold blood.
CNN: Why peacefully bringing a family of 4 to an eternal rest is actually a good thing.
At this rate it wouldn't even surprise me.
Apparently Black History Month is now being used as an excuse to celebrate black on white violence, gee who could have seen that coming?

The first one was about a white woman getting slapped because she dared to have dreadlocks from I can tell.
Also I don't think saying words automatically makes one a racist, and even if they were a racist I don't think that entitles someone to attack them.
If that were the case then it would be open season on Black Hebrew Israelites from just about every group of people out there, including other black people.
"I think it's OK to start with one state. I also think we should rotate them and I also think they should be diverse. Look at the populations of both Iowa and New Hampshire, there's barely any people of color."

This is the party of the Confederates admitting that they want to pick and choose who gets to vote first solely based on an undefinable number of people and their skin color.
I honestly can't believe I'm hearing this shit.
