The opposite of patriotism.

[1pittsburgh]

I wanted to wait till the day was over to ask this, but why do some people feel the need to politicize Memorial Day? Democrats have fought and died for this country. Republicans have fought and died for this country. Libertarians have fought and died for this country. Black people have fought and died for this country. White people have fought and died for this country. Women have fought and died for this country. Men have fought and died for this country. Christians, Muslims, Jews, Buddhists, Krishnas, Hindus, Atheists, and Agnostics have all fought and died for this country. Immigrants have fought and died for this country. Gay folks have fought and died for this country. Trans folks have fought and died for this country. Politicizing Memorial Day is the opposite of patriotism. Politicizing Memorial Day is the opposite of what was intended.

Your not new to this site, you already know the answer!
This shit has been going on for years, long before the latest batch of you new guys.
Berry politicizes everything.
He still has his trump wood, that's the little hardon he got when trump became president.
They say if your hard for four hours or more you should go see a doctor, but I think he types with his!

I just wanted to see if anyone would admit why they do that. It's the opposite of patriotism.

I wonder what all these trumpers did before 2015? Did they just not care? Were they all juiced up over Jeb Bush? Probably.

I know an old racist Italian lady who never voted before in her entire life, who went and registered just to vote for Trump. LOL

I'm sure there are millions of other examples like this. All the old, scummy racists came out of the woodwork for trump.

The only racists I’ve met personally are all 80+ years old, live in retirement homes and are overwhelmingly democrats. Some of the shit you hear at Thursday bingo you wouldn’t anywhere else, and nobody bats an eye. The kid and I, amongst the only ones there not currently using a walker, just kinda side-eye each other, both thinking ’did she actually just say that?’

[tommy156]

Lol. That's complete bullshit. Democrats actually nominate and elect minorities and women. Republicans do not. Go ahead and lie to yourself all you want, but that won't fly around here. We all know what "MAGA" means. And it doesn't include women and black people.

[1pittsburgh]

You have previously falsely claimed that racism no longer exists in the United States, so it's unlikely that you would recognize racism when you see it. For example, people have admitted to refusing to hire black people. That's textbook racism.

He was certainly exaggerating, and there are plenty more black GOP than just Scott, but when you look at congressional freshman class photos, the difference in racial, gender, and ethnic diversity is often pretty stark. The percentage of white males is typically much higher amongst the GOP, and that's partly due to the MAGA faction of constituents. Many of them even go as far as to say that it would be wrong to have a Muslim president for example. I'm hoping you can get Scott nominated so that i can give him a good look.

I wasn’t exaggerating, at all. Those are the only people I’ve heard use racial slurs that weren’t actually thinly veiled terms of endearment.

And I stand by my position that the USA is nowhere near a racist country. In fact, it’s the least racist place I’ve ever been. Sure, there’s a handful of actual racists, but they’re way to few and far between to even warrant a conversation. If there was an honest top 100 of what’s causing despair in the black community, white racism wouldn’t even make the list.
