Letitia James speaks to firefighters

It is with the Rs. Definitely agree. Even when you bring up January 6. First thing out of the R mouths is BLM. They hate black people.
I think that’s too broad a generalization. Some do, many don’t.

More accurate to say Trump hates people who oppose him, especially if they are women, and especially if they are black women.
 
The New York Post first reported that FDNY Chief of Department John Hodgens wrote in an email to department brass that the FDNY’s Bureau of Investigation and Trials was investigating the incident and "will figure out who those members are."

"I recommend they come forward. I have been told by the commissioner it will be better for them if they come forward and we don’t have to hunt them down," Hodges said in the email obtained by the Post.

Unprofessional behavior like hooting and hollering should never be acceptable in a work setting, and those who engage in such behavior must be held accountable.
It is surprising so many have taken issue with such low class behavior.

Trump is hardcore racist. Are you claiming that he is not?
 
I’d say he’s moderately racist.

Every relationship the guy has is transactional. If you say nice things about him he will like you, if not, then he hates you. I don’t think race is his guiding principle.
I don't agree. Race has been guiding him his whole life. He got busted by the feds for refusing to rent to black people. Took out full page ads demanding the death sentence for innocent black kids. And even during his administration almost exclusively nominated white people. He's not moderate whatsoever. He genuinely hates black people.
 
Rocky, Trump lead the birther movement claiming that our first black president was too African to be president. It's ridiculous to claim that racism doesn't permeate every ounce of him.

I’m not going to argue about Trump’s degrees of racism.

My comment was about the silliness of you claiming all Republicans don’t like black people.

Poll after poll showed that the vast majority of Republicans believed that Obama was secretly an African. It's silly of you to ignore this. Wake up and stop making excuses for them. Rs are racist. They hate black and brown people. Look at the Republican rebuttal to Biden. It was built on race baiting lies. These aren't fringe members. They are the most prominent members.

Not making excuses. I said before, some are, many are not. You’re being ridiculous.

Not some. Not many. The vast majority are racist. It's sad that you try minimizing this. Even beyond sad. You are outright lying about the level of racism in the GOP. What's your reason for lying about this?

A. Not lying about anything, I simply don’t agree with your opinion that all Republicans hate black and brown people.

B. I don’t like hyperbole. It turns people off, but I know you don’t care.

You are. You keep claiming that the vast majority aren't racist. They are. And this bitter brand of racism still exists in the GOP. Just this year Trump recycled his birtherism against Haley and the Rs rewarded him with win after win. They overwhelmingly choose him. Rs are racist. A small minority may not be. But the vast majority are.

Let’s just agree to disagree and move on.

No. Why don't we talk about the Republican nominee for North Carolina Governor now? He has said that black slaves should have owed their masters for taking care of them, has denied the Holocaust happened, bashed Muslims and Jews, and thinks that women shouldn't be able to vote. Rs voted him in. They chose him to represent them in the general election. This man is every inch a racist, bigot, and sexist. Yet Rs statewide support him. As does Trump. Because they are racist. Yet you continue to excuse this behavior. Why?

 
Also, if you're a lifelong alcoholic who puts others lives in danger by routinely operating a vehicle while plastered then you probably shouldn't be going around calling anyone else deplorable. Not singling any posters out here, just a random life observation.
Why are you bringing the Iowa governor into this?
