I am sympathetic, Marlene, as it really bugs me as well when Billy Bob Gun Owner paints everyone of color, gender, etc with the same sneering brush. I'm ashamed of being an old white guy. And I didn't do anything to deserve feeling ashamed.

But still...there are so many who look like me that are assholes i can't escape the stereotype I guess.

Nobody looks like me so I don't have that problem. Oh. Wait. My brother looks like me and he sometimes DOES act like an asshole.... :angry:

They almost always choose to single out women first, especially women of color. It is a feature, not a bug.
It is an unfortunate human failing that a full pocketbook often groans more loudly than an empty stomach.

I'm not saying she's ignorant because of her skin color. she's ignorant full stop. why would you think any of this is because of racism? she's an elected official from Texas with a demonstrated ignorance on guns spouting lies. where does race come in at all?

I didn't accuse you of anything. Just pointing out that most of the right-wing videos and memes attack Shiela Jackson Lee (TX), Frederica Wilson (FL), Maxine Waters (CA), and, now, AOC/Omar/Tlaib. When the Dem men say idiotic things, we laugh about it here on this forum. I don't see that same scrutiny from the right-wing.
