Neither is a moron in a bow tie, champion of racists everywhere, telling someone to 'move on".

LOL do I sound crazy enough?
You sound like a complete idiot! How many gay blacks are there? you are a stain on the gay community!
Way to make this post 100% about yourself winch had absolutely nothing to do with the gay community.

On the rare occasion Tucker goes against Trump policy, y'all love the guy.

Tucker is great.

If democrats would stop putting the noose around Y'alls depiction of the Black American, y'all might be able to get past the notion of slavery, which the Democrat Party defended so viciously.
Newbie? Doubtful. No noob jumps straight into the biggest war-zone on CD, immediately launching attacks on the opposition. This is certainly a seasoned instigator. The question is, which one of the leftist regulars got banned within the last week?

If you and Carlson want to say such a dumb thing, go ahead.
It is not part of their life history to those living now. Are they slaves? No?

But if they is even a scintilla of a chance if someone getting free money by screaming Alavert, they will do it.

I "dwell on" slavery when researching my family history. It's where we came from, and It really wasn't that long ago in terms of generations - it should never be forgotten. However, it's not a psychological burden, or a badge of victimhood for me. If anything, it inspires me to go out and do things.

I'm not at all afflicted by my families history of enslavement.

We’ll do what we want when we want to.

If we want to bring up slavery, we will and there’s nothing that can be done about it.

If that makes you mad, scratch your ass and get glad.

LOL @ the irony of a gay man telling somebody to "suck it". No, that's something that you do.

Yes, black people tend to be homophobic and socially conservative - especially the older generation. Younger people, such as myself, don't care.

I personally have nothing against gays being gay. What I don't believe in though is gay "civil rights" protections, and comparing gay "rights" with historical black struggle . A gay white male, is a white male - not a discriminated minority.

Also I don't believe that LGBTism should be promoted in the media and taught to children like they are doing today. That's just wrong.

LGBTism should be thought of as a sexual preference, dare I say perversion, that should be tolerated. LGBTs today are taking it too far.

I wasn't aware of just how triggered folks got over slavery. If someone had nothing to do with it why worry about others getting over it so much. They want you to even talk about it for some reason it just hits them deep. For black Americans slavery is literally as far back as you can go for family history.

"Russians need to get over Stalin"

After all, between his purges, intentional famine and WWII "only" about 60 MILLION Russians were killed. Tucker would probably say they need to get over it. But every single family has big holes in it....even one or two generations back.

And now, the son of Uncle Joe (Stalin) cook is DICTATOR there!

But they should get over it, right? After all, the past is the past.
