I’m completely confused as to whether racist idiocy is good or bad at this point.
On one hand, we have raj saying that it’s “absolutely disgusting” you would defend Jefferson’s 230-year-old comments because “what was immoral then is immoral today.”
On the other hand, we have raj beating the drum for a Presidential candidate who was crushed twice by the Department of Justice for refusing to rent to black people less than 40 years ago, to say nothing of the other 2,347 things he has said, Tweeted, or whatever’d that are every bit as offensive to blacks, Mexicans, Jews, Muslims, Asians, and women. I haven’t yet seen him call himself “absolutely disgusting” but then again, it’s possible that I missed it somewhere.
Putin Has Hot Words For Clinton’s Attempts At ‘Confrontation’
Stung at the hostile tone of Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s efforts to cast Russia as America’s greatest enemy, Russian President Vladimir Putin said he won’t let Clinton become a global bully.
“Jeopardizing Russian-American relations in order to gain brownie points internally – I consider this to be harmful and counterproductive,” Putin recently told reporters in Russia in a video.
“It’s not funny anymore. If somebody out there wants confrontation. This is not our choice but this means that there will be problems,” Putin warned.
The point is he lived in a multi racial society. With multiple religions. And people from multiple economic levels.
This is silly tho.
The issue is the Muslim ban. This idea is un-American. A ban on travel from the “conflict zone” or a ban on people without proper paper work would probably be more accepted. And it would probably be called “The Muslim Ban” by almost everybody.
No way bro. The founding fathers believed in white power. Did you know Thomas Jefferson started the KKK!?!?!?!
Seriously, though, was Jefferson a racist? Maybe he was and maybe he wasn’t. Posting a few excerpts from the thousands upon thousands of things Jefferson wrote and said does not prove he’s a racist especially when taken out of context. That’s typical bullshit from our friend here.
Jefferson seems to be biased towards the educated. Especially those who know geometry.
Was he saying black people couldn’t be Masons?
Anyway, we know Jefferson didn’t like city-fied bankers. But he was willing to accept them as part of the US.
The “Travel Ban” would have gone over better than the “Muslim ban” It seems way more like common sense, and less like something to get stirred up over.
