If it is a fact regarding a negro it is called racism. If it is a fact regarding an Anglo it is a fact!

These historical facts but they will not be accepted:

Since the dawn of history the Negro has owned the continent of Africa rich beyond the poet’s fancy, crunching acres of diamonds beneath his bare black feet. Yet he never picked one up from the dust until a White man showed him its light. His land swarmed with powerful and docile animals, yet he never built a harness, cart or sled.

A hunter by necessity, he never made an axe, spear or arrowhead worth preserving beyond the moment of its use. He lived as an ox, content to graze for an hour. In a land of stone and timber, he never carved a block, sawed a foot of lumber or built a house save of broken sticks and mud.

With league on league of ocean strand and miles of inland seas, for 4,000 years he watched their surface ripple under the wind, heard the thunder of the surf on his beach, the howl of the storm over his head, gazed on the dim blue horizons calling him to worlds that lie beyond, and yet he never dreamed of a sail. He lived as his fathers lived - stole his food, worked his wife, sold his children, ate his brother, content to drink, sing, to dance, and sport as the ape.

And this creature, half child, half animal, the creature of impulse, whim and conceit, pleased with a rattle, tickled with a straw; a being who left to his will, roams at night and sleeps in the day, whose speech knows no word of love, whose passions once aroused, are as the fury of the tiger - they have set this thing to rule over the Southern people ... Merciful God ... it surpasses human belief.” - Thomas Dixon, Jr.

Leftists are going to say and believe that Republicans are racists because that's what they want to believe.

If they want confirmation it's more likely to come from Steve King than from Will Hurd.

I don't know what the rest of your comment means, but anybody would have to be a moron to believe that Michelle Obama was born a boy and that this has been concealed for fifty years.

That rumor was invented by a fake news site and people just ran with it, maybe as a joke, maybe as an insult, maybe because they were stupid enough to actually believe it.

So now you are quoting Thomas Dixon, Jr., author of The Clansman, the book that inspired The Birth of a Nation as some kind of authority on race in America?

What is wrong with you?

This Hurd guy had three options as I see it.

He could have, and probably should have, just kept his mouth shut.

Or he could have laid his comments at the feet of the democRATS who use the "racist" label at the drop of a hat.

Or he could have blamed "some people" in the Republican Party like he did and played right into the hands of the democRATS, Black Lives Matter and the liberal media's narrative that Republicans are racists.

If he didn't like what Steve King said, then he should say so. Don't include anybody else in the party by claiming "some people" in the Republican Party have made racist comments lately.

What did he hope to gain by wading into this Steve King mess? What about all of the other people in the Republican Party who aren't racists and don't say racist things? Where's his comments about that?

Instead, he's thrown his whole party under the bus and ingratiated himself to the opposition party who wouldn't hesitate calling Hurd a racist at the first chance they get.

Steve King has made statements that have been deliberately construed as racist as a political weapon against anyone who is an American nationalist.

This is cultural warfare by the globalists, including most so-called Republicans.

But thevracist left can spout BS about “whitey” and da Joos every damn day and we’re the racists???

Eff right off Hurd! When you start calling out the absolute blatant racism from the left that gets a media pass every single damn day, maybe someone on the right will listen. Until then, when you open your mouth all I hear is the Charlie Brown cartoon adult voice. Another useless gubmint POS that thinks he can lecture us!

Blah blah blah. The right needs to get up off thier knees when it comes to race. The hypocritical left/msm & rinos have many on the right constantly on thier heels about race. They hold the right to a totally different standard promoting thier agenda in the process. Totally ignoring the race BS from the left and even makIng crap up.

If the Republican Party was founded upon Abraham Lincoln’s beliefs, the blacks would have been shipped back to Africa.
