MSNBC Mocks Mitt Romney's Grandson (No bias)

[Felya]

So of course, the rest of us must be racist by association.

I would remind everyone that domestic terrorists have statistically trended toward being liberals. Judging each other by our fringe groups isn't a good road to go down.

That really depends on how you define liberal... In a way that NRA is liberal with guns?

Oh I'm sorry that you fail to grasp what I said.

I said "often times" and stated a fact. I didn't say "you're all racist by association" I just stated what is more likely to be the case. Racist and homophobes are more likely to be conservative than liberal. For fuck sake look at the god damn platform.

Well, liberals are really determined to stick with this odd idea of "all conservatives hate black people, even the black conservatives", and it's starting to get really old.

It's a stereotype. :P Not all conservatives hate black people; and not all liberal think they do. That's a generalization as well. However, there is some truth in stereotypes, but it's usually just a fragment of it. Conservatives are usually aimed at as being more racist, because they statistically tend to be more often. Hell, they have a lot of old people and old people alone tend to be more racist.

I watched the video, not a big deal. These are celebrities and public figures, I don't think there were any personal attacks made to the child. Imo harmless fun.

Liberals don't say "all" they say "the sheer vast majority." Because if they said "all", then conservatives would just get a singular black best friend, like they tend to do and say "See? We're not racist!"

Why would anyone even need a black friend to know they're not racist?

[Aeluron Lightsong]

Long as people are able to call out the BS from both sides, ya'll are cool with me.

At this point you're reminding me of how when the Pope stated that supply-side economics requires the wealthy to invest their wealth for the good of society to function, the founder of Home Depot lost his shit about how he was calling them all greedy.

Also, I find it funny that Republicans didn't find outrage when Karl Rove used a made-up fear-mongering story about John McCain having a black child.

Or they get a black baby (am I a racist bigot now, going by this forum I am lmao)

Karl Rove isn't a liberal therefore his transgressions are ignored.

And people like you are so determined to make equally wrong assumptions about liberals.

Well, it might be hard for certain people to turn around and attack these comments, given how vigorously they've been defending the free speech of a certain waterfowl connoisseur recently.

Where did he mention knowledge of themselves in that statement? He said they'd get a black friend to show the world so they could "say" they're not racist lol.

Yah, I agree people are just looking to be offended. I honestly thought the Santa / Jesus must absolutely be white was more painstakingly obviously racially charged. This just doesn't feel like it to me. I don't really feel any ill intent upon race so much as a stab at the Republican party.

Baha, good point

Quick, start cross checking!

I really doubt they adopted a freaking child just to further their political agenda. Rich white people adopt African babies all the time.

Also the baby is "front and center" because he's a baby. Babies always get the most attention in photos derp. If the baby was off the side they'd say "omg they're trying to hide him!" you can't win with these fucks.

It was a joke lol, they made a damn joke!

Is that relevant? Anyone is not just him. I don't see how anyone really needs a trophy anything to shield off racism.

[Height]

I'm all for calling out both sides when they say something racist, but this is like watered down soup (if there is any soup actually in it) in comparison to what Fox sends out. It kind of more makes a point to how much worse Fox is if this is the worst thing we can find on MSNBC. ha

Yeah, Tim McVeigh was clearly a liberal ...

[Moralgy]

I'm starting to get whiplash from conservatives with recent events over the past few months.
