Every time the good doctor speaks, he plays the delusion card. He needs a time out, in a rubber room.
I’m not 55 (I’m 33) and at one point in the past, probably wouldn’t have been considered white either. Mostly by guys like Howard Dean I might add. (I’m of Italian descent).
The first American President ever to get point on cleanliness. ‘He don’t stink at all folks, not even a little!’ LoL
So what we have is
Bright
Articulate
Black
Clean
Nice-looking
All the qualities you need to be a Dem President.
Who needs
Experience
Accomplishments
Excellence
Academics
Intelligence
Wisdom
Integrity
Trustworthiness
Nah, all those thing can’t compare to being the first Black man ever who is bright And clean.
I wonder how MLK and Collin Powell felt about Biden’s insights.
The guy is senile. He really is. LoL
and that means what howie???? You’re white. Your DEFINITELY over 55...so...what are you trying to say howie? Trying to gain points are ya? What an idiot he is a true and pure CLOWN of the highest order.
The guy on the left looks like “Epic beard man” from YouTube.
...You mean the former Governor of the whitest state in the Union????
Nah, it's just tactics.
Put 25% of the electorate in your pocket and verbally whip them up into red-hot race hate against the 75%, and you stack the deck for every election. Do the math.
That's what the Dems have been playing at since FDR was elected.
Katrina......he felt we were sorts racist here in the aftermath and comments about black looting and lawlessness.....something like that....other....a few black freepers....went with him....most came back in time.....im just the messenger as to how I recall it faintly.....u asked

Are you possibly Sicilian. My BIL was and quite dark skinned. Passed away several years ago in his 70’s and still had a FULL head of black hair no grey...Loved him very much and a sweeter guy your ever meet...he once said the only soap he used to wash his hair was a bar of Ivory..
Thanks. He might have had a point. I don’t recall anything specific, but I remember thinking that a few comments were close to the edge.
I wish he’d come back.
Given some unpleasant realities it's not easy being a minority freeper especially a celebrity one like he is/was.
Katrina sorta exposed some of those harsh realities that reflect poorly on black culture and many freepers who live in homogeneous areas and have little experience with such things were shocked by reports coming from the Superdome and Convention Center of barbarism and what they saw of looting and the ineptness of Nagin and they sounded off in anger. For folks like me who grew up within 2 hours of New Orleans it was about what we expected..
Personally I rarely ever witness white supremacist talk here and the only time I ever saw it was actually a ruse perpetrated by a black moderate GOP group based in MD sent to infiltrate the forum and shame us. It backfired. So I have never bought the notion espoused by some hre that racism is part and parcel of the forum...JR is extremely strict on this and bends over backwards to tolerate for example a balance just for appearance...but his recent homosexual agenda purge bagged a few we had known were not one of us for years.
On Mike, I'm mixed. Personally I liked him and I respected that it was a bigger leap to embrace conservatism simply due to his peer group and expectations but I did not always agree with him...especially on the sensitive stuff, but he is/was very capable.
Like I said it's complicated. Conservatism for me is empirical truth based on realities and personal experience...tempered with God given moral idealism....not ideology or party so much but about what works and what is based on what I see and witness..hence my own views often conflict with minorities here.
It's unavoidable.....I always qualify by admitting that it's easy for a 50 year old white southerner like me to be conservative..hell we all are...or at least around 90% plus
No, mostly Neapolitan ancestry on my father’s side. Mother’s side is (Quaker) German, Irish, Dutch. I am darker than the average German or Brit, but not that dark skinned really. Just that I know in many parts of the US in the early 20th century, Italians were considered “other” than white.
I loved my brother in law....His father was from the old country (shhh black hand) but that was another branch of the family...His mother was first generation Italian..Loved her too. I was the only one she ever gave her recipe for Lasagna to. But she made me promise I would never tell anyone else.. It is magnificent..Now my daughter knows how to make it...
I use to make it so much the recipe never got written down cause I never figured I'd forget...but alas, I lived too long, should have written it down...When my daughter first made it, she called and said it didn't taste right, I had to go over and taste it to see what what missing.. It has been perfected once again...:O)
