    99.9 percent of grade school children don't give a flying fuck about the election. The .1 percent who do are coached by their disgruntled parents.

    Pissed that my nephew who was born three weeks after Obama was sworn in will see a Klan-endorsed candidate replace the only President he's ever known. Pissed that nothing any of our minority groups is never enough, not that I give one rat's ass about the opinion of white people as a whole anymore.- Anna

    :huh: And that "Klan endorsed" candidate will not affect your nephew's life in a negative way and you fucking know it. Obama was "endorsed" by racist DOJ head Eric Holder - what's your point?
    Glad you don't give a fuck about the opinion of white people as a whole - the feeling is mutual.

    Kids pick up on more than adults realize. They certainly don't get all the finer details but they understand how building a wall around Mexico may keep them from seeing friends and family. My brother and I were around that impressionable age when OJ was on trial the first time....I missed most of that televised trial because of school, but my four year old brother who was at home got visibly irritated as to why this guy was always on the tv. :lol:

    Trump? Doubtful.

    The hateful rhetoric and callous cruelty that kids have started using to taunt their classmates? Definitely may affect him down the road.

    Let me know which Black Supemacist groups endorsed Obama. I'll wait

    That's been no surprise to anyone who can read your posts, but I appreciate the honesty.

    Knowing is half the battle.

    All of them. the New Black Panther Party even stood outside polling places with baseball bats, in case anyone didn't get the message.

    So to visit friends & family now they have to sneak back & forth into Mexico? :chris: Maybe these are people that need a fucking wall built then. But I get your point - I'm just saying any kid old enough to be freaked out by watching the news probably isn't watching the news anyway. Back in the day we had three channels and one TV in the home. Now we have 300 channels and a TV in every room.

    :lol: Really now? You want to go there? Be a fucking white kid in a majority black school and see if you don't encounter some "hateful rhetoric and callous cruelty" no matter who the president is. Betting that affects some white kids down the road, but does anyone give a shit? Yes, that's the reality, now act surprised - I could use a laugh.

    So if I endorsed Hillary Clinton then it all would have been cool?

    And to break mode of fucking with people a moment, I believe that young blacks have the same great lesson (a black can get elected to POTUS) regardless of what tomorrow brought.

    For some reason (selective memory?) people think the eight years of Obama is all rainbows & lollipops & ice cream & puppy dogs for minorities. And that life under Trump will be a living hell combining the halocaust, slavery, and human centipede. :facepalm:

    I haven't had anyone's children crying over anything regarding Clinton. Not the grade school aged ones, anyway.

    No doubt you're aware that to many blacks, it went deeper than just that. It meant that we finally had the ear of the whole world. At the time, I wasn't thrilled at it was THAT particular black guy who won, but I wasn't willing to piss on any Cheerios over it and I did vote for him. And contrary to what BLM suggests, many of us wanted to believe racism was over.

    This win for Trump may not have been an intentional slap in the face to all of the progress minorities have made, and especially the LGBT community, but it sure does feel like some value dollar signs over human decency by pushing him in.

    And for the record, I was no Clinton fan. Fuck her and the DNC, but I respect those who were sick of picking the lesser of two evils. It's a scare tactic that both parties have leaned on, and I hope one day in my lifetime that another Ross Perot comes along that can not only gain enough votes to get notice but to win electoral votes in a state bigger than NH. Only then will we get chance from either side.

    O RLY ? Over? You're not being tongue-in-cheek?

    That comes down to how you *choose* to perceive the situation. And the *you* could be emphasized too in that line.

    You might consider just a moment that 700 counties in the US voted for Obama twice. And 1/3 of those voted for Trump this time. Please be sure to explain to the next generation (or liberal friends/associates) that it was the *Obama* voters that won the day for Trump, not just racists and assholes and dupes of populist propaganda.

    You are pissed because your friend is a fuckwhit who lied to her child? Your friend with the 1/4th Mexican child should have explained that such talk was all nonsense and whomever told them that was either ignorant or a liar.

    This is my problem with the stupidity you quoted; it is all abput fact free feelings instead of reality and the supposed adults are failing to properly educated their idiot children.

    Btw that last sentence was shockingly racist from someone who continually misapplies and misuses the term.

    great article - this articulates things better than I ever could, and should inspire the wordforge libs to do actual research to form a counter-argument of actual substance.

    I understand the concept perfectly well. The problem is nobody gives a shit if you cry RacistSexistHomophobe anymore.

    Such accusations have lost all power. The liberals and cuckservatives who would protect you and honor such virtue-signaling have all vanished. Your ideology has jumped the shark and now you just sound like a noisy toddler without a pacifier.

    So:

    1. Grow the fuck up. Pull your panties straight and quit acting out.
    2. Figure out some new arguments because crying RacistSexistHomophobe is the reason why we chose Donald Trump to be your Commander-In-Chief.
    3. Stop virtue signaling about RacistSexistHomphobe because we all get it. We know you're a morally-upright, holy cuck and we don't need the constant reminder that you're still not a heretic.
    4. Optional. Grow some stones and be a man while there's still life left to live. You're very fortunate to be participating in this trippy, cosmic, existential experience.

    Good luck! :smitten:

    They were married when I met them. They weren't even planning on kids, but she was a happy accident and both parents are in the picture.

    Nice you assume such classless shit from way up in your elite North County bubble mindset.

    I'm trying to give you the benefit of the doubt. A chance to support your tone-deaf conclusion.

    This is tone-deaf and I would argue false. The majority of white women aren't RacistSexistHomophobe. The majority of white women chose Donald Trump despite receiving repeated and stern warning from the RacistSexistHomobpobe-shaming culture of MSM.

    What? Stating facts.

    This song is dedicated to those college educated folks who dropped the ball! BTW when I was in Bosnia there was a young officer from some other unit who looked just like Oates!
    Awesome song BTW, one of their best no doubt.

    Nope. Their too kind to themselves and they're still evading the larger truth here: They, in their endless quest for eyeballs, ratings, and ad buys since the advent of the 24 hour news cycle, have turned the American political discourse into a cesspool of gibbering lunatics who's only necessary qualification is the ability to be appealingly retarded on television.

    My kid's elementary school is about as multi-cultural as it gets. There are literally Mayflower descendents sitting next to kids who arrived from Haiti a week before school started. Kids from 31 different countries, speaking 15 different languages at home. 30% black, 30% Hispanic, 30% white. I can appreciate that any minority anywhere (and yes, in your example the white kid counts as a minority) would feel alienated. But guess what, even at a school like the one I described, there are kids worried about family members being deported, gay uncles going to jail, or the really horrendous fear, that they will be taken from their parents. Kids aren't clueless, they hear and see the news, they follow adult conversations. Those kids deserve to be told that we are going to protect them. Fuck off with this macho posturing for once.

    ^Seems like that's a real number on your dependents that you lefties have been inflicting.

    The grade schools are bad enough, but the parents are supposed to at least occasionally introduce some sense; you're really not doing them any favors to fill their heads with that shit at such an early age.
