"Ibram Kendi, a professor and director of the Antiracist Research and Policy Center at American University"

And people wonder why college tuition is getting so expensive.

The biggest racist problem is always looking to blame whites instead of minorities looking to lift themselves up.

I believe they can do it. Why don’t they??

Why ar4e Alexandra O-C and Rashida Tlaib considered persons of color? They both appear to be white people to me.

Since their skin is white, they must be racists! So, there, I fixed it.

I haven’t been following this Squad. Are they all blacks?

At any rate, I do feel that the trump statement was xenophobic because he didn’t say anything about their families’ country of origin. It may have been racist if he wouldn’t say it to me or other white people. He wanted to send Americans (racist, crude, miserable, disrespectful, congressional (but I repeat myself) Americans) back to “their countries.” Might as well send me back to Nazi Germany.

I agree with Trump’s “love it or leave it (or love it and improve it).” But I don’t like the idea of sending Americans back to where their recent ancestors came from. Even unpleasant Americans.

If AOC considers herself “A Woman of Color”.,,,,,

Then why does she usually wear so much white pancake makeup so as to appear an albino in a black wig?

I want an apology from liberals for calling ICE holding centers a name like 'concentration camp'. That's insulting.

I want an apology from effing liberals who laughed when Hillary called us 'deplorable'... Liberals are such jerks.

Here's my suggestion - if you can't take it, quit dishing it out.

What all of the lefty actors are willfully ignoring is the original trash talk that led to Trump’s counterpunch.

The fact that the “squad” is composed of “women of color” has to do with their self-selection. If Theresa Heinz-Kerry, a white woman from Mozambique talked that way, he’d say the same to her, and it would be just as true, and just as unrelated to race.

I’ve had some exposure to American University.

It is a leftist scheissehole. It has declined rapidly to the point where nearly everything there is pure leftist, neo-marxist virtue-signaling. there’s no learning taking place, only inculcation of propoganda.

my only worry with the house vote condemnation is that the twitter platform will use it as grounds to censor or ban Trump from tweeting.

You need to go find out what Trump actually said.

The Left thrives on racial divisions.

The Right knows it’s unhealthy.

So, who’s instigating the discord?

And his idea suggests that somehow people of color are not American

"His idea suggests" ... you mean his actual words aren't racist, the idea you think his words represent is something that suggests racism to you?

Thank you, your honor, no further questions.
