You may not think you're left, but your brain has been infested by critical theory -- which is noxious poison for the mind. Its unstated goal is in fact the opposite of the cause you believe you're fighting for. Ingesting Marxism under the guise of "critical race theory" (or any of its offspring) is a losing battle if you wish to remain a free thinking person.
Read the actual quote from the post, then defend that instead of attacking some strawman Marxist/critical race theorist.

Holy crap, this is getting literally insane! The guy needs mental health counseling and a leave of absence.
He got a vote of confidence ...
Mr. Caputo, who has faced criticism for leading efforts to warp C.D.C. weekly bulletins to fit Mr. Trump’s pandemic narrative, suggested that he personally could be in danger.
“You understand that they’re going to have to kill me, and unfortunately, I think that’s where this is going,” Mr. Caputo, a Trump loyalist installed by the White House in April, told followers in a video he hosted live on his personal Facebook page. Mr. Caputo has 5,000 Facebook friends, and the video has been viewed more than 850 times. It has been shared by 44 followers.
The department said in a statement: “Mr. Caputo is a critical, integral part of the president’s coronavirus response, leading on public messaging as Americans need public health information to defeat the Covid-19 pandemic.”
Mr. Caputo on Sunday complained on Facebook that he was under siege by the media and said that his physical health was in question and his “mental health has definitely failed."
“I don’t like being alone in Washington,” he said, describing “shadows on the ceiling in my apartment, there alone, shadows are so long.”
EDIT: Mr. Caputo is from Buffalo. Come on, somebody out there knows him! Let's get the inside story! And what a resume -- personal driver for Roger Stone. Prior work for Ukranians and Gazprom. If we find out that he's paid off a hooker he'll have hit the Trumpfecta!

While this really doesn't have much to do with the argument put forth, I don't see Kamala Harris as angry. She has shown that she is a clown by laughing at serious matters. Was it funny that she is Jamaican and has had many personal experiences with ganja? What about when she dismissed her claims against Biden as being racist (in the first dem debate) with laughter? To her, it's all just a performance, as if she was on the Jimmy Kimmel Show.
Fair points.
(See, it's easy to be critical of someone without crossing a line)

In the continuing list of the "best people" he hired (both for official roles and campaign roles), how about a round of applause for rookie campaign manager Brad Parscale!

The only reason she was chosen was because she is black. Now you can't even call her black? Good lord the left has lost their minds.
I am not "the left." I voted for Romney for chrissakes.
Because people are either inadvertently or deliberately mischaracterizing what I had a problem with, I'll share it again:
There have been 44 Presidents (G Cleveland counted 2x), /9= over 20% chance Biden will not finish term.
But of the two, Biden 4-5 years older, lack of campaigning stamina, gaffs all make Trump the better choice, especially with an angry black K Harris as the. President in waiting

Frankish, give it up.
So, no response. Because referring to an "angry black woman" in the original post was clearly in the manner of my example "B" -- a gratuitous reference to race that had nothing to do with the premise of the post. Unless the premise of the post was something other than what it purported to be ...
Don't defend the indefensible.

People are not allowed to use color to describe someone?
OK, I don't want to go all Sensitivity Trainer on you, but let's try this.
A. "A pedestrian was killed last night after being hit by a vehicle. The driver did not stop to render assistance, and police say he failed to yield at a red light. Police suspect that the driver may have been impaired. The driver is described as a black man, approximately 30 years old, driving a late-model Ford truck that may have some front-end damage. If you have information that may be relevant to the police investigation, you are encouraged to call Buffalo police at [number]."
B. "A pedestrian was killed last night after being hit by a vehicle. The driver did not stop to render assistance, and police say he failed to yield at a red light. The driver fled at a high rate of speed and ran into a tree and was killed instantly. The driver was a black man, approximately 30 years old, driving a late-model Ford truck. Police are withholding his identity pending identification of next of kin.
Is the race of the driver relevant in one but not the other?
(Maybe that will help)

Does she identify as black?
Why would that make it legitimate? You are saying (I think) that this would make the comment accurate as a matter of fact.
I am saying that in the poster's original context "black" adds nothing in the form of legitimate argument, such that we have to question why anyone would include it.
I am not one to cry "racism" every time someone's race is noted. If we are talking like pundits (and this board is ostensibly about punditry) it's fine to discuss why a candidate of one race or another is in a better situation to win or lose. But that's different, and I think you are intelligent and can see that.

Kamala Harris was picked for a number of reasons, one of which is she fit the female POC suit (the other was some backroom fighting between the Obama and Clinton camps).
She got her start by being Willie Brown's mistress. At the time, very little happened in the California Democratic party that was not sanctioned by Willie Brown.
She was a DA that was especially harsh and cruel to black men.
She has now changed her positions based not on ideology, but on donations from her sponsors.
She is also extremely unlikable.
I have never been a Kamala Harris fan. She is an opportunist, and you are correct - she parlayed a relationship with Willie Brown (a deeply corrupt figure) into a political career. And obviously her gender (admittedly) and ethnicity (not officially admitted, but c'mon) were pivotal in Biden's decision to select her.
But: I am not arguing about those things. I am arguing with one particular comment here that said this:
- Biden is incapable of serving (certainly not more than one term) as president
- the plan is then to hand over the government to an angry black woman
Tell me what legitimate purpose "black" (or for that matter, "woman") serves in that comment?
The answer is "none."

Ah, but is she an angry “woman of color”. Either way, reference to her is "gratuitous" and doesn't fit a public persona. In any event it is insulting, and a show stopper. Big words, little minds.
Keep trying ...
Sometimes it's best to just admit that it was a mistake to go there.

I am done with you POS.
You haven't given me any explanation for why you would raise someone's race.
I am not a fan of Mike Pence's political positions. I would never refer to him as an "angry white man." It doesn't fit his public persona.

You are not worthy of discourse. You insulted me because in your opinion you can not recall her showing anger by raising her voice. What a jerk. No, it was all an act. By your standard voice level denotes anger level.
When out of argument call the opponent a racist. I am disappointed in you
The reference to "black" was gratuitous. What purpose did it serve in your criticism of Harris other than to call attention to her race? Your explanation that it had something to do with her leveraging her racial heritage for political gain was not related to your statement that Biden is some kind of stalking horse for an "angry black woman."

Running it up on Brady I love it
Giving him a little dose of the old Belichick medicine. Beautiful.
Just now, TBBills said:So Tom Brady could have been a Saint if Brees had retired...
This whole old guys moving to Tampa feels like a publicity stunt.
Yeah, it just has the feel of something that was doomed to failure.
Maybe they'll prove me wrong.

Kyler is smooth. Hes going to be really good.
Arizona is going to be a really tough team this season. Tough game for us later in the year.
What I like most is that they did what I can't remember any other team doing: drafted a high first round QB two years in a row. Almost everyone else would've said "give Rosen a full year." They saw a sunk cost when it was right in front of them, which is a surprisingly hard thing to see.

He hasn't completely sucked ... just not really scaring the Saints, even with all those weapons.

Meanwhile, the Cards about to beat the 9ers.
Hopkins: 14 catches, 151 yards.
Kyler: 100 yards rushing.
Prediction: they're the new Ravens.

Yes, I agree with your take as well, and is also why I do not agree with the 300-yard benchmark that many a Bills' fan has set.
Yep. Tyrod will always get you at least to 7-9. A lucky bounce or two and you're in the playoffs. Rivers at this late stage seems hellbent on getting you 10 losses.

Why isn't RedZone showing any Bucs-Saints? I want to see Brady suck
Because there hasn't been much of anything interesting. It's been a sloppy boring game.

Just now, Groin said:
I liked Taylor, in particular because he stabilized the position until the Bills could draft someone else. But that 200 yards thing? Yikes.
And right there is why "playing not to lose" is incredibly unsatisfying, but better than having Philip Rivers go out of his way to force a loss.
-
things I learned today:
- Cam Newton may not be the old Cam Newton, but he's better than 2020 Tom Brady.
- Tyrod Taylor may not be a starter for long, but he's better than Philip Rivers 2019-20. And so is Jacoby Brissett

Burrow going for his first game winning drive
And Tyrod played about as Tyrod-ish games as ever. Good enough "not to lose" if the other team makes mistakes, not good enough to lead your team to victory if they don't.

This Bucs team does not look well coached. I wonder if Arians's relaxed style is a fit for the situation that we are in here in 2020. Feel like the real detail oriented guys will succeed more.
Maybe it's the "continuity is a huge advantage this year" thing. Tampa's offense is completely revamped. New Orleans' has been the same for years.

LOL. He's "a critical, integral part of the president's coranavirus response, leading on public messaging ... ."
Quite a message from our messaging leader, when he's not busy looking for monsters under his bed at night.
