Look up the youtube clips if you are unfamiliar with what he said, they are out there. Maybe the questions should have been... why are you supporting her? What qualifications does she have? Her Chicago job was given to her when her husband became a Senator, and not filled since he left office. Why did she give up her law degree 9 years before having children? Many, many people dislike Michelle Obama and do not find her to be the least bit qualified for public office. They pick on her looks (a person's least important attribute), her job history, giving up her law licenses for undisclosed reasons (it is on the Illinois Bar association website, you can find it there), lack of political office experience (not necessarily a bad thing), and the fatigue of the US Pres fangirling her while ignoring the current ex-model who is our current first lady. However, this is the Trump Economy thread. You and I may want to take this discussion to the Democratic 2020 Primary thread where the possibility of her running would be on-topic. That should be "press," right? Just 'cause "Pres" is a typical abbreviation for "president." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly you think a lot about race in dialogue that has nothing to do with race. The article/video you and @GG pointed out tell me that you must be so uncomfortable with being labelled a racist that you'll find anything that anyone says that anyone on earth could interpret as racist in any way and point it out to deflect your own inherent racism. I use the phrase "well-spoken" and "articulate" all the time with people in many settings of many different professions, positions all the time. Again, as an English Language Arts teacher, by trade that is something that I appreciate. You saw those buzzwords and immediately jumped to race. And you're still trying to run away from the very racism inherent in your own accusation. You're shitting me. You claim to be an English Language Arts teacher and you don't know the difference between to and too? You say your when you're is what you meant? Maybe you need to learn to code. BTW, you've twice refused to answer a question regarding fraud and the Obamas that I asked you. Why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just bustin..but I read plenty..WSJ is the other national paper I read. I do tend to stay off the far right sights like The Federalist and Breitbart. I admit i am partial to the WAPO...man before the internet. I loved living right in DC and getting that City Edition at 5 AM with up to date sports scores, even from the West Coast..and a good chunk of the crime happening in my neighborhood from the previous night.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Federalist is okay. Breitbart is crap. WaPo is okay, too...not what it was ten years ago. Everything's gotten too damn partisan, and sloppy. I see stories published with inaccurate or incorrect information (that I know of first-hand - saw a story this morning, in fact, that I knew was wrong, if not flat-out dishonest) with enough frequency that I don't trust any American sources any more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I think is this... some of you guys spend so much time in PPP and alternatively on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram (none of which I have accounts for) that it's actually twisted your perceptions into something just right of reality. You point to articles that prove the words "well-spoken" and "articulate" are racist--although they don't actually prove the words are racist, they just point to how they could be perceived as racist when directed at certain people. I like Amy Klobuchar because, in part, she's well-spoken and articulate. I don't like Elizabeth Warren, in part, because I don't think she's very well-spoken or articulate. I'm sorry, am I being racist when I use those words in speaking about them? As someone who teaches a subject that focuses on reading, writing AND speaking... the speaking part matters to me. That is definitively NOT racist, even as I also acknowledge there are systemically racist issues with the education system itself. If people want to know why I keep coming back, it's purely for this subject alone. It was a ridiculous and disgusting accusation compounded by a couple other posters jumping on his back. Sure would be nice for @DC Tom to very simply admit to his mistake. But he seems like a small person who would never do that. 33 minutes ago, DC Tom said: With "It's racist to call my racist words racist!" Which is an epic level of stupid. No, it was racist on your part to twist something that wasn't racist into being racist by adding the word "Black" in quotations--as though I said, thought, or meant it--to a post that wasn't remotely about race.

In part, I think it's because he lives in a bubble... this insane Internet/Social Media bubble I think many other posting here live in that makes you think you're more educated than everyone else when it really just closes the walls around you until you're in a narrow, concrete tunnel.

You said well spoken (or well articulate) the exact phrase isnt important, but it was in reference to Michelle O a black lady Tom points out that (by left standards) is deemed to be racist You then proceed to call Tom a racist for insinuating that He shows you it is not his standard necessarily, but the party you identify with (perhaps belong), and it's still he is a racist I dont get it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
