The left HATES her, Tulsi and Haley. Shuts down their narrative. Similarly, left isn’t as happy as I thought they would be that the killers in the Aurbery case have been found guilty (by a predominantly white jury). Makes you wonder sometimes.

It's hard to stir up controversy when the Georgia law that was the only thing those three were attempting to stand on was changed before the trial even started, and everyone who looked at that case thought they were guilty as sin.

November 25, 20213 yr 10 hours ago, Guardian said: To what end does someone claim to fight against racism but when obvious racism happens that doesn’t fit their narrative, why wouldn’t they cover it? Because the majority of people who claim to "fight racism" are really just a bunch of useful idiots who are doing what they're told. They only make noise about racism when their newsfeeds tell them to. The reality is things like identity politics and racism are just used as a distraction. They keep people from focusing on actual important things like income inequality, and the fact that the quality of life is eroding away for everyone but most wealthy. The below comes off a little tinfoil-y, but I think it gets the point across. Edited November 25, 20213 yr by Blue

To your point… just checked the Census stats. Kenosha is 79% White, so the jury was a statistical reflection of the community. All that to say your excerpt from reporting just shows the media is a malignant tumor on this nation’s ass Edited November 26, 20213 yr by Pitt4401
November 26, 20213 yr The quote was in relation to the Arbery case. Glynn County, GA is 70% white and 26% black so the proportionally there should have been 3-4 black people on the jury.
November 29, 20213 yr It’s certainly amazing how fast this whole thing disappeared from the mainstream view. Good thing there is another COVID variant to drum up fear porn over.
