Sheila Jackson Lee is up to her old Communist, tyrannical, police state tactics again.

I'm not certain, but I'm pretty sure that should this bill become law, I could be prosecuted for "conspiracy to commit white supremacy inspired hate crime" for just posting or discussing the information about this bill on FR or some other news/information website.

I absolutely hate "hate crimes."

[jmacusa]

Hate crime laws. The new Nuremberg Laws.

[Tell It Right]

Evidently black supremacy is acceptable.

[joma89]

What a racist bill. Dark skinned people are the worst racists.

[rktman]

So, how many republicrats will “aye”it?

[jeffersondem]

Hate to say it but this bill will probably pass.

All Dims will be on board. And I don’t think there will be many Republicans brave enough to stand up and vote no.

A “no” vote would bring media and internet criticism and that frightens most Republicans.

[the OlLine Rebel]

It’s both funny, and shameful, that her name is “Jackson-Lee”.

Isn’t Jackson-Lee Day coming very soon?

We used to have it here in Baltimore until they tore down the statue.

[MAGA2017]

LOL. Whatever.

She is an idiot.

[the OlLine Rebel]

When are they going to codify all the “conspiracies” to gang up on whites? Or when blacks gang up on various groups they really hate, like Jews and yellows?

[the OlLine Rebel]

“Hate(sic) Crime” is code for “Thought Crime”.

[Regulator]

She knows it cant pass.

The idea is to get Republicans to vote against it. Then the Ratz can point fingers and say “they voted in favor of White supremacy!”

[Pirate Ragnar]

Go slap another security guard SJL.

[tunedin]

That woman is dumber than Hank Johnson I swear.

[Big Brother Go to Hell]

I call them “thought crimes” laws because such legislation is as Orwellian as it sounds. I’ll hate if I want to hate. No one can censor my feelings or my thoughts!

[sheik yerbouty]

Apparently! Melanometric Privilege!

[Alas Babylon!]

She had all the time in the world these past four years when Pelosi was Speaker to bring up this bill.

Why now?

To trap and tar the Republican majority as racists and allow the media to push this narrative.

Her and Jeffries know damn well this is worded to ensure no Republican—or sane person who wants people to get along rather than each throats—would vote for such a clearly unconstitutional law.

It’s a Congressional Gotcha.

And purely a political ploy.

“Hate” crimes are just thought crimes. It really doesn’t matter if someone hates someone else for whatever reason, it only matters if they commit a criminal action against that person. Whether or not they love, hate or are indifferent to their victim doesn’t matter. What happens to the victim is what matters, but it can’t just be because his or her feelings were hurt.

[EEGator]

She “annoys me”.

[DoodleBob]

As requested... Progressives" virtue-signal anti-racism, but they consider blacks and anyone who isn't like them to be inferiors.

The far left progressives are actually lily white. Nearly seven-in-ten Progressive Left (68%) are White adults, making this group less racially and ethnically diverse than the other Democratic-oriented groups.

Yet, these Dems hold not only extremist views on race, but views more extreme than those held by more racially-diverse Dem groups.

They live in enclaves in cities, prefer going to museums over going to the range, and think religion is sophistry. Their policies and language all reek of a Superiority Complex.

I get Affinity bias. We all have it. I'd probably be rejected by an Anarcho-Syndicalist Commune and the feeling would be mutual.

But Erika Donalds' experience is worth remembering when dunderheads like Rep Lee say WE are all haters. And while I haven't walked in her shoes, I can tell you, when behind closed doors, and if "progressives" think you're "one of them," their mask slips and (using affluent code language) you see how they REALLY feel about the races.

Scratch a progressive, find a Klansman in a suit and tie or lab coat.

[Celtic Conservative]

GFY beeyotch.
