Certainly not the only country but yep.America as a whole has some sexism and racism issues
I still think you outnumber them though. Hopefully that shines through Tuesday.

Did a little thinking on this and similar situations.
If we play allegory (kind of), I think that sometimes, when a bad thing gets a certain amount of public attention, it's like shining a light on it...I think most of the time most of the trumpers don't really even understand their bad thoughts, so when the light is bright enough they can actually see it for what it is.
It's gotta be bright cause they're not

Yep.
Your women and minorities hate comedy.

I will get banned again soon, worry not.
3 guesses as to which FI poster put this on their Facebook feed.
"I get the push for latinos to vote Harris over the MSG comment. However, using that logic, no man or white should vote Democrat as they label us toxic and all whites racist. Sauce for goose is sauce for gander."

There probably shouldn’t be a lot of wiggle room for calling the female Prez nominee a ho either, other than… this is how men refer to women so often it has been ingrained as acceptable/or that this particular woman “deserves” it.

The key here is that Trump didn’t say it. Trump can say anything and get away with it. An asshole said it.
What Trump didn’t do is swiftly disavow it. And now, the damage is done.

I hope that NC doesn't go Trump but if my cousins have anything to say he will.

I actually would’ve liked being able to leave some clear feedback on my way out the door, even if it’s unlikely anyone ever would’ve read it.
But when I got to the part of the cancellation where I was asked my reason for cancelling, all I was given to choose from was a handful of checkboxes with extremely vague, generic reasons (“not enough local coverage”, “quantity of original reporting”, “too expensive”) and no option to write in anything myself.
Wonder if they shut off and/or limited the subscriber feedback to protect Jeffy’s feelings and make his decision look less bad.

Nah, vile and racist things have been said repeatedly at his rallies since the beginning.
MSG might have been the first time all the media outlets said racist though now that I think about it.
