The racism is unbearable

[Henry203]

Taking Jackie Robinson off of the DOD site along with the Native American coders is just too much for minorities to take. We are approaching a new Jim Crow. Every day it gets worse. The form is different but the objective is the same. Women have also had their distinguished history taken away.
It can be argued that breaking the color barrier was as important as MLK. It was the crack that started us to TRY to make the country live up to its constitution.
Ask a conservative to name a time that they ever helped minorities stop discrimination in any legislation. They are the people who supported segregation.
I have one wish and that is Trump and Musk get cancer and they start to understand cancer research and medical research and that is the hope of every cancer patient to extend their lives.

1. Blacks for Trump, Latinos for Trump, Women for Trump.

How is it working out?

History erased.

Mass deportations.

Rights removed.

3. They never have to admit they did anything wrong. Because they are so dishonest.

17. I heard Mary Trump's piece on Miami Venezuelans "tiptoeing" into regret for their allowing themselves

to be totally used by Trump and R's. A couple of people overtly disavowed their vote for Trump, but as I said, some seem to still be "tiptoeing" in that direction--even while they see the promised political amnesty revoked and their friends deported back to Maduro's Venezuela.

But as painful as that, there is zero reason that African Americans, most other Latins (certainly not Mexican Americans) should have been fooled. And damn it, I get the cult behavior of some (mostly white married Republican) women, but damn if it doesn't pain the hell out of me after Roe v Wade and all the other atrocities toward women that he got the votes he did. That really really pains me.

I could bow over in contempt--but that does nothing to help the situation. So, now he is actively dismantling primary-higher education. "Keep 'em dumb and they will believe anything they say." Sigh...

18. Here's the deal with the Miami Latinos and Trump.

To summarize from a Cuban who is mid aged and studied political science:

Democrats messed up in several ways, especially when Castro died. Apparently some of our leaders like Karen Bass and Bernie Sanders made comments about Cuban healthcare and literacy advancing under Castro. That was an affront to the Cubans.

Calling Trump a dictator but then publicly normalizing some of his policies rang hollow to many Cubans and Venezuelans. These are people whose life and world view have been shaped by dictatorship. Castro for Cuba and Chavez and Maduro for Venezuela. If you fled either and then you hear someone praise some aspect of their regime it’s going to hurt you. Moreover, the FL Democratic Party had a clumsy announcement about the embargo hurting Cubans without actually pointing out that Castro is what was hurting Cubans. Again, it rang hollow. There are other examples.

I can speak on this first hand. I’ve been married to a 2nd gen Cuban for 30 years. My spouses’s parents and family fled Castro during the revolution. For them the Revolution changed everything. Fortunately, my wife and her parents hate trump. They are the exception, however. There are some in my married family who have fallen prey to the right wing talking point that Dems are communists. So, there’s a little part of me who can see where the Democrats tripped up. Remember, Hillary carried Miami-Dade County by 30 points. We can retake the county with work and the correct message. Normalizing ANYTHING about Castro is a no go. It would be like saying at least Hitler built the autobahn. That’s horrible and would never be done.

2. I wish all these racist magats would crawl back under their rocks

They can’t get over Obama. It’s like another Civil War they’re compelled to avenge. Sick fucks ...

[Walleye]

4. They also can't get over the fact that some women might be in charge

Might make them follow the rules and pick up after themselves. Magas are immature boys. That’s the only way to understand them. Even the women, trying to please the immature boys. The low Spark of butt hurt boys

[LSparkle]

5. Yes ... twice I've gotten my hopes up then ...

We get Revenge of the Patriarchy. But this time it’s Revenge of the Billionaire Boys Club which is worse.

6. Counting primaries I have voted five different times for a woman for president. So now I'm being punished for it I guess

Starting in 1972 when I voted for Shirley Chisholm in the California primary

8. Just yesterday I was thinking about

Geraldine Ferraro, a former VP hopeful.

You can be married to power, but you can't HOLD power.

[Walleye]

16. Yep, it's always been like that and I have very little. Hope it'll change.

[AllyCat]

7. A quick acting, painful, lethal cancer.

I want them to suffer.

[surfered]

9. Scrubbing a black Medal of Honor recipient from Arlington Cemetery website.

Removing Navajo “code talkers” from Dept of Defense web site.

Trying to erase history to remove any reference of Americans who were not white.

It’s all disgusting, disrespectful, and despicable.

[70sEraVet]

10. And that the type of cancer they get can only be cured by ONE doctor ....

But she, a person of color, was let go by the hospital because DEI.
As long as we're dreaming.

[Paladin]

11. "Unbearable" doesn't begin to cover it.

The trump racism is open, obvious, growing exponentially every day, and without the least effort at ass-covering---much less apologies. Absolutely shameful.

12. I guess they're going to have to decommission the USS Hopper.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Hopper

Named for Rear Admiral Grace, "Amazing Grace", Hopper.

13. Heartbreaking and infuriating

Their hatred is on full display and their "followers" are totally on board with it. Just sickening...

[Martin68]

14. I agree. Racism is abhorrent in any form, but blatant in-your-face racism expressed as government policy is unbearable.

[usonian]

15. It works well, doesn't it?
