FTFY

If you're going to call out "leftist" maniacs, please be specific about the racist fuckwads.

Many thanks

Then it wouldn't be fair to to leave out the Whig Party, taking dumps on the sidewalks and leaving their heroin needles strewn about.

This thread is the epitome of its ok to insult people as long as you cast a broad net. One posters basically saying republicans are racists. One posters saying if you lean left your an unhinged maniac.

Absolutely not my stance.

Not every

is a racist. That's just an ignorant position. However, every racist in America - chances are he/she's a Republican. It really is one of your safer bets.

Literally the worst racists I know are atheist, liberals. I work with a few that are pretty adamant the word should be rid of the “lesser genepools”. That doesnt mean all atheists or liberals are racists.

It just means that the world is full of jerks and they wear many different labels.

 

[Further]

There is nothing in ones political party that makes a person racist or keeps them from being a racist. That being said, my perception is that most racists either don’t subscribe to a political party or are republicans. Especially lately since the Republican Party has taken on more xenophobic views. At different times in our history racists have gravitated to different parties. Right now, they gravitate specifically towards Trump, who is the defacto leader of the Republicans.

What in my view is worse is that the majority of Republicans who are not racist aren’t willing to stand against the elements of their party that are racist. I hope that changes.

You don't know what "liberal" means. Educate yourself; you embarrass yourself.

He ended his Instagram message with, "I will be seeking justice. Believe that." Hopefully he'll punish the hotel and the police department for big bucks.

Do they call themselves liberals or do you? And what does atheism have to do with the subject of politics and racism?

Me too

There should have been 2 higher levels of review. Neither the manager nor the policeman reviewed the decision of the bottom guy. So both the hotel and police department should pay up.

Out of fear, schools don't teach the difference between left and right. Tortured, here's the start of your education:

The left wants a meritocracy management class which represents everyone. The right wants an inherited management class born into power, either through royalty or just wealth. Every generation, some frill is temporarily part of the definitions, whether free trade, race, a particular religion, a particular war like exterminating Indians, or this generation, the gay issue. But for thousands of years, the enduring difference between left and right has been an economic issue: whether the economy truly needs an unelected wealthy management class of decision-makers, or whether an elected government can do it.

My mother is a Democrat, and she can't stand Japanese people because of WWII.

So reading this story, I'm not sure how he went from being asked if he was a guest to being kicked out of the hotel?

Earl was doing his job. Safety of the guests is his job, so he asked a simple question and the guy failed to answer. Reading other stories about this I see he had his key in hand the entire time, so yes, Earl is a dick

Who kicked him out of the hotel, and why?

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Do they call themselves liberals or do you? And what does atheism have to do with the subject of politics and racism?

They do, they’re very liberal and the atheism has nothing to do with it. Just like Republican doesnt have anything to do with it.

I actually know very well what a Liberal is and the people Im refering to self identify as them. So if you have a problem with it maybe you should go educate them not me.

You’re missing the point entirely though. The point is saying Earl is a Republican just because he seems to be a racist is insulting to Republicans.

The most severely disadvantaged of us tend to be attracted to the Democrats. Why is this? It's because Republicans aren't going to do anything to help them, rather their legislation tends to hurt the most disadvantaged among us.

Now, severely disadvantaged people are not heard and in an effort to be heard they are disruptive or as some would say, they riot.

I look at a lot of rioting as a cry for help.

Most ridiculous lie I have seen on this board, and you keep repeating it.

Racism in America is a commodity produced by the DNC’s policies for mass consumption since 1963.

Untrue.

Rioting is a cry to be put down like a rabid dog.

Only the most evil and cowardly people participate in mob violence.

I have several friends who are disabled and they are conservatives. Their vote is not available to the highest bidder, and lib policies drove the cost of healthcare out of reach for many of their needs.

Most of my liberal friends have led healthy lives and faced little adversity in their sheltered, unaware existence.

That's hilarious that you claim someones view is the "most ridiculous you have seen on this board" only to top it by claiming racism is the result of the DNC since 1963.

Ive known many union teamsters/members most all democrats that are as racist as they come. Ive known many conservatives christians most all republican that are as anti racist as they come.

It's true. You only have to look at our President to have an example.
I can also tell you that in the deep South where bigotry reigns supreme, all those bigots tend to be Republican, for another example.
Helms, Stennis and Thurmond for yet more examples.

I know many Christians Id consider bigots, and on and on. My point is that painting all republicans or democrats, or blacks, or whites, or Atheists, or Christians, whatever is literally the root of racism, and all those other "isms". It's terribly not funny when a Black person gets profiled for being Black and judged by that, just as it's not funny to judge a Democrat or anyone else based solely on a label, skin color, etc.
What happened to this guy sounds awful and I hope the people who did it for it.

Racism is as ugly as it gets and it's not a respecter of race, religion, or party. I totally 100% agree with your post!
I taught my kids not to be quick to judge others and to look at the positives even in a bad situation or circumstance, try and be a peace maker and know its best to turn the other cheek at times, which doesn't mean they are weak. I also, thought them how to box and defend themselves.
