The House recently passed a non-binding resolution that condemns hate and bigotry in response to Rep. Ilhan Omars anti-Semitic statements, citing a broad range of victimized groups, including Jews and Muslims. It doesnt include white Christiansa stark and significant omission.
The resolution is not a bill that will be sent to the president to sign. No legal weight is attached to it. It is merely a motion that allows members of Congress to show they oppose hate, even as they refuse to call out and punish individual politicians for their particular violations.
More than 20 Republicans refused to sign the resolution because they saw through Democrats ruse of seeking cover for failing to deal with Omars bigotry in their own ranks. These Republicans were also concerned about the vague language and exclusion of white Christians as possible victims who can also be targets of hate. In the Senate, Ted Cruz is soon to announce his own resolution aimed exclusively at anti-Semitism.

White Christians are not included in the protection clauses. Very telling.

So they refuse to refute hate in their own ranks, so they pass a vague, meaningless general resolution, that they hope will prove Trump is a hater if he doesn’t sign it. Democrats always manage to continue to outdo themselves when it comes to probing the depths of evil.

Doesn’t sound like it. Although given the track record of the libs lately, it might have actually targeted just White Conservatives in general.

"White Christians are not included in the protection clauses. Very telling.
In the Weimar Republic days leading up to the election of Hitler and the Nazi's Reign of Terror, there were plenty of ominous signs of the horrors to come. Even after their takeover of the parliament, the newspapers, radio waves and books were rife with the hatred of Jews, Gypsies, leftist and even conservatives. The German people were being "prepared" for the actions of the Nazis.
These same tactics are being used to demonized White people in general but conservative, Christian men and even women in particular. One cannot turn on any station, newspaper or Internet without hearing the 'blame whitey" mantra.
The only thing preventing the "American Holocaust" is there's still way to many of us and we have way too many guns in our hands.
This will change in a generation or two and any American that might be hesitant to turn the guns on a fellow American will be replaced by "immigrants' with no hesitation to kill "gringos" See "Venezuela" and the Cuban bodyguards protecting Maduro..
It's coming people, and no "200 year old piece of paper" or "traditional rights" will prevent this.

Here’s the vote.
All RATs voted for it.
Only 23 Republicans voted “Nay”
Notice all the 173 “TRUE” Republicans that voted “Yea”

God help this nation....because the GOP sure as hell won’t.

Democrats like to pretend they have a long history of fighting racism, but the truth is that it was Democrats who supported slavery, upheld Jim Crow laws, and were so deeply involved in the Ku Klux Klan that the 1924 Democratic National Convention at Madison Square Garden in New York City is called the Klanbake convention.
