Seems to be a whole lot of angst against non Democrat women.

That's not who she's referring to

She was dispelling the myth that white people are the biggest danger to black people

These aren't tough concepts. But, by all means, be offended.

OK. She made a point.

"Fix problems within your own community first before blaming others."

That would offend anybody.

Try using these comparisons:
“I don’t want to hear your opinion on economics, Cajun. LA is like the poorest state in the country. Fix that, then you can have an opinion on what a fair tax plan is.”

“LA is dead last in education achievement. Fix your own problems before you start complaining about common core.”

“The South has the highest rate of Type II diabetes in the world. Until you fix that, quit complaining about Michele Obama’s nutrition program.”

“There’s a prayer circle at First Baptist tonight. When are those jokers going to realize that ‘tithe’ is just another word for ‘took’?

Facts can still be offensive.

See, we can agree that some people need to hear inconvenient information. We shouldn't strip them of past achievements because they say something that doesn't fit the reality we want to be true

Did you actually type this with a straight face?

A. Facts are nothing but that - facts.

B. If we can't speak of these "offensive facts" then how will we ever face them, and change them? Burying your head in the sand because the truth may hurt a little won't ever make the problem go away.

Those aren’t offensive. If we quit letting the truth be offensive this country would be in a better place.

Facts can, in fact, can be offensive but only to those who don't want the truth.

You have to choose to be offended by facts.

Good grief.

You really think every hijab wearing woman in the Middle East does it because she wants to? Seriously?

Try telling your mom she’s fat at Thanksgiving dinner. Yeah, facts can be offensive. Expect repercussions.

More importantly, if you tell a black person their opinion doesn’t warrant consideration because of black on black crime, yeah, expect repercussions. It’s a stupid statement.

This is utter BS.

Muslim clothing codes are some of the most sexist laws in the world.

Yet when you ask a Muslim woman who wears a hijab, she’ll tell you that she prefers it.

The women who chose to display their piety through a head scarf don’t appreciate being told that it’s because of male oppression.

Look, I think the concept of any type of “religious” headgear is utter nonsense, but you can’t argue that offense is taken when other people question faith-based decisions.

Black people are in for a rude awakening. The people that have coddled them for years are moving to coddle Hispanics in a big way. Of course, that won't ever stop them from voting 90%+ because their culture has been brainwashed for 50 years.



I’m not so sure Black Americans are going to vote 90% Dim in 2020. I’m seeing a lot more conservative Black Americans on YouTube channels and other social media outlets. Right Tbird?

That is because the religious police will beat the shite out of her.

Do they give the women the option not to wear it? What happens when a woman prefers to dress in something more revealing?

Don't fool yourself, Trump hasn't had that big of an impact. They're a block vote and a guaranteed 90%+ in 2020.
