The only thing demonstrated here is that there are crude vicious cartunists on both sides and that they thrive because there is a action on both sides that eat it up.  This doesn't mean that the Dem position is that repubs are Nazis or that the repub position is basically Dixiecrat

The real thing you do not want to deal with is that there is a Black guy who said "I can't do this anymore, you people hate Blacks" and then quit his party.

Now, you can take other lessons from it, but you do so at your peril if you belong to the Republican Party. Most Americans find racism abhorrent, better to flush it out than to justify it with false comparisons in an effort to distract from it.

My brother got those photos in his mail from his conservative friends... he was appalled by it, and I am sure he isn't the only conservative that is... you folks better get a lid on your KKK members, or they will destroy you from the inside out.

Here, let me type more slowly so you can understand it...

Michael Moore was using satire to draw attention to the fact that there is this privileged elite in this country and they are white and male.... now I know this is hard for some people to understand, because they want to believe that everything is an equal playing field and no one has an unfair advantage, but that has not historically been the case, and to a large degree it still isn't.

Your making this point is the very sort of thing he was addressing with the title of his book

Stupid Black Men: How to Play the Race Card - and Lose
by Larry Elder


Is life unfair for black Americans?Is racial equality the answer to every question of public policy?Are a huge group of citizens being kept down by “the man”?Radio host and bestselling author Larry Elder has made a career out of being a thorn-in-the-side of the conventional wisdom crowd. He deflates the pompous and points out the completely logical truths hidden behind the nutty rhetoric and out-of-control pandering of many of the politicians and so-called leaders of a variety of special interest groups. In Stupid Black Men, he takes on the mind-set that always captures the most media attention—as well as masses of public money—in this country: those who rail against racism as the root of all problems, and who end up hurting precisely those they claim to be helping.Whether they are demagogues like Al Sharpton, established politicians like Hillary Clinton, or entertainers like Danny Glover, no one escapes Elder’s cogent arguments and rapier wit. His sometimes hilarious and always infuriating examples of wrong-headedness skewer not just politicians for their smugness and hypocrisy, but also actors, educators, religious leaders and the “mainscream media” for keeping the story in the headlines.But Elder has a positive message, too: though they are fewer—and generally not as loud-mouthed—there are leaders and role models today who want to sweep away race-based whining and urge everyone in America, to share in the hard work, smart thinking and optimism that make this country great.

3)  The Long, RACIST History of the Democrat Party:

The Republican Party was formed in 1854 specifically to oppose the Democrats, and for more than 150 years, they have done everything they could to block the Democrat agenda.

Did you actually sit there intentionally typing slowly so that when you posted the completed work it would be better understood?

Because that would be pretty fucking funny.


No, I was being a smart ass actually.


oh ok

well I mostly was too

but I still find it ironic that the title of Moore's book is directly attacking the President's race.

you're right that there hasn't been systemic racism toward white people (in the sense that the systemic prejudice stops once the ethnic group is accepted as "white") but it's still sort of funny that bringing up Bush's race to criticize him is just satire.
