Friend, I am with you. I too am an American, and don't really care what skin color you identify yourself. As a fellow American, I will always value you and do what I am able to protect you. Skin, eye or your own favorite house color means nothing to me.

You remind me of the Jew in the Nazi concentration camp who would nark out other prisoners to gain benefits from the guards. You're doing the same thing here. Your trying to impress your liberal buddies by defending a known antisemite so you can remain part of the group. Sad!

Are any Republicans antisemitic?

What do you think?

I think there's antisemitism to be found on both sides and argue herein that Omar's remarks were antisemitic, but I don't believe any Congressperson is an antisemite or a racist.

Your turn.

I agree mostly! I don't think people should be necessarily labeled simply by what they say. "stupid is as stupid does"

I still think Omar has a lot of hatred toward the Jews. I've watched a lot of her interviews and can see it in not only her words but also her body language and tone. I can't prove it but I am very adept at reading body language.

How is this vile? I'm a Jew and I would never sell out my people.

As the wife of a Jew and mother to Jewish sons I find your comments vile, disingenuous and phony.

I must be missing something here. I call it as I see it. I'm very observant and see things and sense things that I don't think the average person can. I think you people just look at the words on a page. I have a skill to be able to get inside a persons head and understand what they really mean.

What part of my comment do you find vile? I am a Jew and I don't see the vile in my comments. Why would I pretend to be a Jew? What part am I being disingenuous or phony?

I think you are clearly overly sensitive and being over reactive to my opinion.

Yeah, the rest of your post is probably pretty stupid.

I feel that it was a good analogy! I also suspect you read the rest. Just in case...

in the Nazi concentration camp who would nark out other prisoners to gain benefits from the guards. You're doing the same thing here. Your trying to impress your liberal buddies by defending a known antisemite so you can remain part of the group. Sad!

That's why I don't just use intuition. I use intuition plus facts and observation to create the generalizations that help me navigate a world of imperfect information.

Yes. Racism is strange and not unlike your unkind grouping of white's who won't be belittled by silly, supposed wisdom from South Africa. Odd that you would paraphrase a South African source. South Africa is perhaps the most prejudiced country in the world. That they are anti-white somehow buys a pass from bottom feeders.
Racism is indeed goofy, but racism in all forms! Not only those who are white skinned are racist. If you know that, stop treading on white skinned people. If you don't, you have some enlightenment due you.

I don't really see the point of what you've written. Seems to just be an attack without anything. I really can't be bothered beyond this.

Anyone that says, "this is not going to be a country for white people" is a racist? That's madness, my good man. Madness. This is not going to be a country for white people.

Was it? Yes. Remember slavery? Jim Crow, segregation?

For a couple hundred years, this was a country for white people and not really for others. Even today, black people are 13% of the population and have maybe 3% of the power. Such gross disproportional representation in power, wealth and politics kinda makes one wonder if it is a country for black people.

When will there be justice? When will black people have 13% of the power, wealth and politics? When will privilege in housing, employment and the justice system end?

We cannot see the end of racism without proportional power, wealth and politics.

We await justice.

Bold- who is this 'we'? You're white. You're not going to receive reparations. And your grasp of history begins and ends at 200 years ago. At one point, the largest ethnic group dealing slaves from Africa was Arabs, and the largest ethnic group dealing in European slaves were Jews. Why do you ignore MOST of history, in order to hyper-obessess over a few hundred years?
