No. Not racist at all.
Nothing to see here. Move along.
There are literally millions of people waiting in line for immigration from dozens of countries, many of them truly persecuted and in danger (Afghans?), yet this group of "persecuted" people jumps to the front of the line. Anyone who does even 5 minutes of looking into this will see there's obviously only one real reason this group is being short listed for immigration: they fit the skin color the administration wants for people to come into the country. There is no actual persecution, there is not an immediate threat to them, but they ARE "white" (descendants of Dutch, so why don't the go back to the Netherlands?) and from the same country Elon Musk was raised in.I dunno Slab, it seems to me that the only reason people are bringing up race is to avoid the comparison of uncontrolled open borders verses orderly resettlement. The last four years have made a lot of people look really bad on this issue and the border chaos could be a career-ender for some of them. And this is only a guess, but I'm pretty sure most of the people complaining about this are the same ones who were rending their garments over the whole "replacement theory" broo-ha-ha.
Pssst. In case you missed it, there was no Russia hoax.3 of the 4 panelists are white. In South Africa, at least two of them would be fired. There’s a dark moment as a white panelist accuses 49 people he doesn’t know, including kids, of racism (because of their ethnicity!). Then Russia hoax guy @marceelias came on and I had to laugh.
If Trump had been smart, he would have payed Christopher Steele for the information. That's certainly more ethical than relying on legitimate journalism.Pssst. In case you missed it, there was no Russia hoax.

The investigation “identified numerous links between the Russian government and the Trump Campaign” and established that the Trump Campaign “showed interest in WikiLeaks's releases of documents and welcomed their potential to damage candidate Clinton
That's the way God wanted it.
That's a dark post and a dark line of thinking. If you want to exclude people actually involved in Apartheid I think you make can a valid and logical argument for that. Descendants of those people or people that were minors with no voting rights or influence to exert during that time are not guilty of anything. If you go down that line of thinking it takes most cultures including our own to dark places.I'm pretty sure we can find some better immigrants that people who participated in OR are decendants of people who participated in Apartheid
Sins of the father, eh? Do you really think Democrats want to go down that road? (Spoiler alert: they don't.)I'm pretty sure we can find some better immigrants that people who participated in OR are decendants of people who participated in Apartheid
Yikes, that is a great point. Most of the sins they try to blame on others today were perpetrated by Democrats of past generations. I think the party should be abolished and all elected Democrats should be thrown out of office because of the past sins of the party. See how that works?Sins of the father, eh?

Sounds like Africa needs some liberal judges. We should send them some of ours.....That's the way God wanted it.
All you white folks jump to the front of the line..

Should we not allow the descendants of Nazi's into our country? What about the descendants of Japanese people that actively participated in the atrocities in China and the rest of SE Asia. How does your line of thinking impact the descendants of people that owned slaves in the US? Is there something they shouldn't be able to do because someone that's dead did something terrible in the
past. You should really rethink this post.
If folks would just be honest about this. You're using the Southern Democrats, the Dixiecrats, to tar current Democrats when we all know the Slavers left the Democratic party starting in 1964 with the passage of the Voting Rights Act and completely by the end of the 1980s.Yikes, that is a great point.

This topic comes up every few months and it has been done to death. Dems insist "the parties switched" and everyone else thinks it's ridiculous. Attempting to justify this view with more of the same "TrUmP iS hItLeR" argumentation only reinforces this notion. A higher percentage of Republicans supported the legislation in 1964 than did the Democrats. Same for the Civil Rights Act of 68. (It is worth pointing out, however, that both parties did receive majority support for both.)If folks would just be honest about this.

There is no Republican Party anymore, at least, not one anybody from 2015 and prior would recognize. The Dixiecrats were supposed to be the tail on the Republican dog, voting as the dog decided. The tail has been wagging the dog since 2015. The Republican party was consumed from the inside out by the Dixiecrats and they are now all-in on White Power and every other shade of Crazy.
Look at Trump. An Authoritarian Populist. Look at his cabinet. Other than a few like Bisset, low-lifes and cranks. The Republican party I grew up with warned of a government too powerful but Trump says he wants us to treat him like Kim Jong Un. He's serious. Elon has our most private and secret info and is giving it to Palantir to create a Chinese-like Surveilance State. But none of this is a bridge too far for "Principled Republicans".
It was always White Skin.
Those Republicans are LONG GONE. There are no more Liberal Republicans. In '64, The Dixiecrats were a big slice of the Democratic Party, although they had been humbled by their banishment to the wilderness as far as power in the Party after their treachery in the Truman/Dewey election. The Republicans starting with Goldwater courted them. LBJ knew they were such snakes that he chose to bring in the Black and Liberal vote rather than ever trust the Birchers again.This topic comes up every few months and it has been done to death.

I wouldn't be so sure of that. Trump's politics square with 90's Democrats and there's a good reason for this. Trump spent practically his entire life as a Dem. He received awards from the NAACP for God's sake. His views on taxes are different, but I imagine that has a lot to do with the fact that he's rich. At least he's honest about it, though. All those "liberal" asshats in Hollywood are using every tax loophole in the books while pretending to support higher taxes that they themselves won't even feel. Free speech and meritocracy are liberal ideals. DEI and censorship are progressive ideals. These two things are incompatible and one has to go. Otherwise, Dems are going to keep this civil war going forever.Those Republicans are LONG GONE. There are no more Liberal Republicans.
