This fat fucking no good piece of shit. Fuck him. Fuck everyone that wants to vote for him. Fuck everyone that did.
I hope the dems sweep the elections and make life a living hell for them all. Which would basically be making life great for most everyone else. This fucking...hot damn. Every day it's a new low. And you think it can't possibly, and then it does.

Lawmaker asks if ‘colored population’ not washing their hands as well as others behind COVID rates

During a hearing on whether to declare racism a public health crisis, state Sen. Steve Huffman, R-Tipp City, asked if “the colored population” is hit harder by the coronavirus because perhaps they don’t wash their hands as well as other groups.

Huffman, an emergency room physician, asked a witness before the Senate Health Committee on Tuesday why COVID-19 is hitting African Americans harder than white people.

“My point is I understand African Americans have a higher incidence of chronic conditions and it makes them more susceptible to death from COVID. But why it doesn’t make them more susceptible to just get COVID. Could it just be that African Americans or the colored population do not wash their hands as well as other groups or wear a mask or do not socially distance themselves? That could be the explanation of the higher incidence?” he said.

Ohio Commission on Minority Health Director Angela Dawson responded to Huffman: “That is not the opinion of leading medical experts in this country.” COVID-19 impacts the respiratory system so those with chronic conditions are more vulnerable, she said.

Ohio Legislative Black Caucus President Stephanie Howse, D-Cleveland, said Huffman’s word choice and question represent systemic racism.

“He highlights what racism is from a systematic perspective. He’s a full legislator but beyond that, professionally, he’s a doctor. When we talk about the health disparities that happen because black folks aren’t believed when they’re actually hurt, they aren’t given the treatment that they need. Do you think that someone who acknowledges the ‘coloreds’ is going to give the love and care that people need when they come through those doors?” said Howse, who attended the hearing.


She also said Huffman implied that African Americans are dirty and not smart enough to wash their hands.

Huffman said Wednesday that Howse misunderstood his question.

“I was trying to focus on why COVID-19 affects people of color at a higher rate since we really do not know all the reasons,” he said.

State Sen. Cecil Thomas, D-Cincinnati, who serves on the Senate Health Committee, said the audience cringed when Huffman made his remark. “He’s an example of why we have to have this discussion about racism and how it impacts people.”

Resolutions are pending in both the House and Senate to declare racism a public health crisis.

In response to the House resolution, state Rep. Nino Vitale, R-Urbana, on his Facebook page posted a photo of the Ohio Legislative Black Caucus members and commented, “I am darker than MOST of the people in this picture.” He said in his childhood, he was made fun of for his skin color and name, and called a “greasy Italian.”

When asked about the post Wednesday, Vitale said “Do you have any idea about where I grew up or my past history? Look, their resolution is about black and brown people. I’m a brown person. I have a varied opinion on it. I don’t disagree that there are problems in our society. The question is how do we solve them.”

When asked about the post, House Speaker Larry Householder, R-Glenford, said, “I’m not Rep. Vitale and obviously I’m not black so I really can’t tell you how that comment is taken.” He noted that members of the OLBC talked to Vitale.

Howse, though, said the discussion didn’t yield a reason for Vitale’s post. “I will let you know why he did it: It’s an undermining of notion that racism exists.”

Rogers.jpg


In 1969, when black citizens in the United States were not permitted to swim in community pools along side white people, Fred Rogers brought a black police officer to his television show and invited him to cool his feet with him in a small, plastic wading pool. Mr. Rogers then helped Officer Clemmons to dry his feet.

Remind you of anything? "After dinner, Jesus poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel that was wrapped around him." (John 13:4-5).


Mr. Rogers never openly preached on his show, despite being an ordained Presbyterian minister. Yet he preached volumes in this simple act of love. In a world seemingly filled with hatred, where you can be anything, be a Mr. Rogers.
 
I agree with virtually 100% of what's being related here. Denzel pretty much related what I've said in these parts a number of times. Anyway, it's a thought-provoking video:

Some very good insight from people I admire.

Posting this right now, is to me, pretty fucked up. It is, as they say, tone deaf. It pushes this racist narrative that African Americans can't raise their own. This is definitely not the time for cherry-picked quotes from mostly upper class citizens. They clearly aren't experiencing things the same as the rest of the nation.

Furthermore, whether there is validity to the notion that everyone's problems would be solved by a father in the house is not the point at the moment. Just think for a moment, how actually fucked this is that THIS is the kind of stuff you are looking at RIGHT NOW, while the country fights what these men are either blind to or have never seen or are denying. Whoever showed it to you, where ever you found it, is not a place to be; it's a bad place. It is so dismissive and superior, and obviously, out of touch.

It's funny to see people who claim they aren't something, or don't believe something, who constantly post things that actually support what they say they don't support (i.e., someone saying they're not a supporter of a politician, but only post things that defend and support said politician).

Aww, c'mon man...nothing like that ever happens here...snap out of it !!!
 
Interesting story:

I was just talking to a coffee rep about what's happening in our streets at the moment and it led to a bigger discussion. He was born in Guatemala, but is a US citizen now, and like many immigrants LOVES the U.S. with a passion greater than many of us that were born here. Anyhow, our conversation meandered and ended up in roughly the 1950s...

His grandfather, who is now 95, took part in a college exchange program in which he was able to spend a term at a university in the United States. He ended up an Chapel Hill or Columbia, somewhere in the Carolinas. He was pursuing, and later received, a degree in law.

School went well for him, but what affected him most was the racism in the U.S. A darker skinned Guatemalan, he was subject to Jim Crow laws, and had to ride in the back of bus, use particular drinking fountains and bathrooms, sit at a separate dining area, etc. Holy bizarro.

The white American timeline is doing the Twist and listening to Elvis and stuff, black America, and apparently anyone with darker skin, is treated like a leper. Something about that viewpoint really popped me way, way out of the white American narrative for a moment...

Dude ended up going back to Guatemala and finishing his degree. He has been to the U.S. many times since (never the South however), but his experiences rubbed the luster from the country...

What I've posted here transcends our current POTUS. All this same stuff would apply if even Biden were in office, and beyond. But, it's gonna HAVE to take efforts (accountability) from all ends of the color bar. I can tell you this, though, Black folks don't want White folks simply trotting out jargon and/or patronizing. What follows the protests? That takes proactively getting outside of our homes and into the action. It takes co mingling. It takes participating in various school programs - yes, even in neighborhoods other than your own. It takes inviting folks into your home when you have those opportunities. It takes volunteering in social programs. The sky's the limit. It takes....it takes...it takes....being kind.

Interesting story, and I can very easily see that sort of thing happening. And while I do agree with the point you made, to be fair, the US by no means had/has a monopoly on racism because it is/was pretty much a worldwide problem. Blacks are/were looked upon unfavorably on just about every continent. Asians, whites, Native American, Irish, Italian, German, et al, also have a history of discrimination.

Again, not at all disputing your post and not intending to take the thread off topic, just pointing out that racism existed or still does exist in one form or another and sometimes to a greater/lesser degree than others, just about everywhere.
