He's sorry, though.

Consistency. That is what I ask for. If I as a hard working person must endure the tests. Then I expect my fellow Americans - who may very well fully deserve my help to get them back on their feet and to make sure that they are safe and warm .... To do the same. Because otherwise, they are not living up to their end of the deal ... There is a deal - I do my best, I help give a safety net to those IN NEED, and they do their best to recover ... One way or another...god bless all. I have no intent to offend. Sassysub

I'm not sure what your post has to do with a State representative hurling a racial epithet at a member of the Supremes?

quote: Winkler, who is white, deleted the tweet and told followers in his feed that he didn't understand the phrase to be a racist term. Really? But he has a history degree from Harvard? I wonder if it can be rescinded.

I'm not sure why Thomas is a member of the Supremes,(how the fuck did he get past that confirmation hearing ?)but this was an ill advised way to make a point....valid though the point most certainly is.

Sorry - I am new and was just agreeing with your last post. I won't contribute further. Apologies. - Sassysub.

His denial is pure, undiluted, bullshit which asks all of us to believe that a history major and a lawyer that was eyeing a post on the state election committee doesn't understand the full force and effect of calling an African American man "Uncle Tom". I wasn't buying it, either. Peace and comfort, Michael

I will apologize to you. I was just unable to figure out how what you posted connected with the topic. I was just asking for clarification, in case I missed something. My post to you was not meant to be anything more than how it read. Peace and comfort, Michael

Yeah,DS,no sense in offending a fellow traveler ,eh ? Lol.....[:D]

Let's not ignore the irony that he's also a Dem.

slvemike4u -> RE: Racism & Sour Grapes in One Fell Swoop (6/25/2013 10:42:55 PM)
How does his being a Dem add to the irony ?

Sassysub2400 -> RE: Racism & Sour Grapes in One Fell Swoop (6/25/2013 10:54:46 PM)
Not necessarily a fellow traveler - I believe that has yet to be determined thank you.-sassysub

DaddySatyr -> RE: Racism & Sour Grapes in One Fell Swoop (6/25/2013 10:56:20 PM)
I will defend this guy in one way: I find it hard to believe that there's a person on earth that hasn't said something similar to this ... they *know* it's a racial statement. At that particular moment, they don't care. Here's where I'm going to open up a whole new can of worms: I don't think one moment in a person's entire life makes them a racist. I don't believe this guy's a racist (although he might be; I just don't feel like researching his history) based upon one incident. I do believe that he was engaging in race baiting, which has become part of the stock-in-trade for the Dems, on the whole. Peace and comfort, Michael

Sassysub2400 -> RE: Racism & Sour Grapes in One Fell Swoop (6/25/2013 10:56:37 PM)
Are you being sarcastic I hope.... How can it NOT be ironic - if not down right deceitful?

RottenJohnny -> RE: Racism & Sour Grapes in One Fell Swoop (6/25/2013 11:00:06 PM)
quote: ORIGINAL: slvemike4u How does his being a Dem add to the irony ? Because over the years the Dems have tended to be the champions for minorities in political matters. To see one throw himself under a bus in this way is pretty amazing. The level of disconnect is almost historically noteworthy.

He got the meaning down perfect in his tweet. His attempts to excuse it are as pathetic as his actions.
