Thanks for giving me my first laugh today!

I thought Mystal was black, must be blackface. The most racist diatribe ever heard, he was literally suggesting Walker should go to the back of the bus. After “minstrel show” I was waiting for him to call for Walkers lynching.

they think we’re big, ignorant, and easily manipulated. They think we’re shady or criminal.

To conservatives' enormous credit, no matter how much the Dems put forth candidates such as described above, we remain steadfast in our understanding that it's socialism and not race that produces such candidates. We have the best and most independent minded of all racial/ethnic backgrounds (RINOs excepted).

Whatever you think of Herschel Walker, he’s a legend the State of Georgia, from his storied HS days, to winning a National Title at Georgia which will carry him a long way in the state.

Given this fool is spouting insane nonsense about Walker Running as a Republican means Herschel must be over the target.

But very well written - goes along way to say “Uncle Tom” and “Oreo”.

Probably paid by the word?

They Maoist left really does hate for patriotic African Americans to stray from their slave pens on the left.

[bray]

Complete racist, was he wearing his sheet and pillowcase as he wrote it?

And it doesn’t matter what ‘color’ he is.

[Mr. Jeeves]

Walker must be winning - they always break out the Stepin Fetchit stuff when they are behind.

Any black that isn’t a hood rat is an Uncle Tom race traitor. Got it. Whites and blacks can’t share culture. Fine. I won’t try to share yours, and you don’t try to share mine.

The Nation is an insult to black people.

[MrRelevant]

The irony of a black man telling another black man to get back on the plantation is not lost on me.....lol

[Vigilanteman]

Earning anything, like Herschel Walker did, is an anathema to the left. Organizing mayhem, on the other hand, can get you elevated to the standard of a "civil rights leader" even if the mayhem has little or no connection to the cause.

Just so long as it is aimed at the right enemies of the left.

VERY good answer!

I fell asleep last night and woke up in the land of the Demented

[real saxophonist]

I have a family member whose most prized possession is an autographed picture of Herschel Walker.

“they think we’re big, ignorant, and easily manipulated. They think we’re shady or criminal. They think we’re tools to be used.”

I don’t know what “they” think, but that is pretty close to my opinion. Just a lot milder. I would say that I would meet the author at Chuck E Cheese and talk about it, but there would probably be brawling black women there so would not work.

Looks like the Plantation owner set the House boss on one of the Field workers to keep the others in-line. Wonder where the Democrats learned such a move? Could it be when they owned Plantations?

[real saxophonist]

Colorado is about to make ‘Juneteenth’ a state holiday.

[Vision]

The author is a racist and sick person all around.
