@millennialmoney2281 They'd be able to run for Congress. Or the presidency.

@ZeroGravityLife Hey, with today's Republicanism devolving into a cult, yeah, I'll accept that. But on the subject at hand, if the complaint is that Whoopi is given a pass because she's on their side, y'all are correct. The Jewish people who give her a pass do so because they know she's not an antisemite. If you, on the other hand, said something similar, you would not be forgiven. I'll give you 3 guesses why.

@millennialmoney2281 So, you think Joe Biden is a Republican? So, when you're saying "Let's go, Brandon!" You're actually saying "Fvck you, Republicans!" O_o

@millennialmoney2281 The right is generally racist; not all, but it does seem that the truly racist tend to be right-leaning (hence the rise of hate groups in this country). So, no, they don't get a "free pass." Speaking of which, it's crazy that you don't even see how absurd it is that you want a "free pass." You're basically outing yourself. O_o

@koshka02 Nah, it's not about the Dems. The Republican party is defined by what it does. We, those of us who experience the fallout from the policies of both parties, settle for the lesser of two evils. We don't have a choice. And we have no choice but to be very aware of what both parties do (regardless of what Dems say). Talk to your average American minority and they'll tell you that they're no fan of the Dems, but also that Republican policies have the most devastating effects on our lives with regards to equality and economic advancement. On racism, numbers matter. Saying that there are "plenty" of racists in the Democratic party is a talking point the Republican party uses to deflect from the scourge of racism that has infected their party. It's always been there, but it's been getting worse and worse with each year since 2008 when Obama was elected. It accelerated under Trump. They have to actually deal with it sooner or later... or we'll all pay a horrible price, I fear. Jan 6th was just an appetizer.

@kathleenglenn8221 Yes. If you're on the left, that means you hold values that align you with marginalized peoples, whether you're one of them or not. Meanwhile, why are Nazis always on the right?

@koshka02 Yes, Whoopi would be "cancelled" if she were a Republican. Being a Republican would mean she's not an ally to the marginalized peoples of this country. You may not like it, but ask yourself why those groups tend to vote for the Dems. And if you say "it's because the Democrats fooled them," you're basically emblematic of the reasons they vote for Democrats.

@ethan8804 See? You don't even understand just how racist you are. Why mention Baltimore and Chicago? They just happen to have large populations of African Americans. There are any number of places and problems you could use against the Dems, but why do people on the right always use Black folks? Before answering with something snarky, just take a minute to think about what it sounds like from our (i.e. Black peoples') perspective. If it finally clicks, you'll understand why we tend to vote Democratic.

@olecrowey Yeah. Since some of you on the right have trouble understanding this, let me try again to explain the difference. If your friend calls you an a-hole you'd either laugh it off, or, if you're actually friends, y'all would work it out and they'd apologize. Now imagine that someone who is always against you, attacking you, and marginalizing you, calls you an a-hole. How do you feel? You'd feel like fighting, right? Whoopi Goldberg is a friend to the Jewish community. And to many Jewish people (and to all marginalized people) the people on the right are not their friends. Some are downright antagonistic and hateful. Some are even Nazis ("Jews will not replace us!")._ Hope that's clearer.

@millennialmoney2281 I'm gonna go out on a limb and assume you're a very young person and/or are not American. You don't know about "Whites Only" signs, not just for stores, schools, and other establishments, but also for water fountains. I'm going to assume that you're unaware that it was perfectly legal for white "Christian" establishments to have "No Jews Or Dogs Allowed" signs posted. I'm going to assume you're so young that you were born after a time when gays couldn't marry. I'm going to assume you're completely unaware of the xenophobia about people crossing our southern border, or about the Islamophobia after 9/11 and over fears of Sharia Law being enacted by our government. To be clear, the left didn't put people/things into a box. The right (i.e. "conservative" whites) did that. And they continue to do so. The so-called "left" is actually a patchwork of marginalized groups and sensible, patriotic, non-racist whites who coalesced because they had to rely on each other against the insanity and hate from the right. The More You Know.

@sperobrown164 Did you actually take the time to type up, and the post "Trump has never been openly racist nor has he ever done anything racist" ??? HAHAHAHAHAHAAA! You Trumplings are fvckin hilarious! Thanx, for the laughs :^D
3
@corykottick9996 Yeah, you're right. I'm just hoping that the silent few who read gain some perspective.
3
@millennialmoney2281 Because you're soooo concerned with racism that you're calling out on the left but ignore the right? gtfo

@timlegend1831 Coming from you, that's a compliment. Thanx :^D
2
@timlegend1831 How childish--You think "attacking both sides" makes you right??? LOL!!! Nah, it just makes you a part of the problem. There is no "both sides" in today's political discourse.
2
@timlegend1831 So, you think the problem is "non existent" even in today's sociopolitical climate??? O_o You're basically affirming my assessment. You do you.
2
@olecrowey Reading comprehension is not your strong suit. Don't take offense, but I'll be ignoring you from here on out.
2
@philosoraptor2285 Besides this one comment she made, what information do you have about her that would validate such animus?
2
@jamesjames6792 Reading comprehension. It's a thing.
2
@L._Diaz I think you misread my comment. Or I misread yours?

@millennialmoney2281 The saying is actually "when you assume, you make an ASS out of U and ME." It's likely that I'm older than you. In any case, I don't know to what comment of mine you're referring, but I do tend to make them based on experience and empirical evidence. For example, if you've responded to this Whoopi story complaining that the left "gets a pass," then you are most likely a racist person. And because that's likely true, it's highly likely that you take offense to my pointing that out. And that's because you're likely not very self aware with regards to race. To you, racism happens when someone calls you a racist or calls out (white) people for racist behavior. You somehow believe it's okay to call me a racist because I, as a target of racism (I'm Black), am acutely aware of what real racism is. And, because there is nothing I can do to help you "see," there's really no point in us communicating any further. Godspeed.

@timlegend1831 Nah. You're simply suffering from cognitive dissonance.

@Joshua-fg8mz They're not mad about Joe Biden or Whoopi Goldberg. They just jealous that the left "gets a pass." Just check the many comments complaining about that. They simply don't understand the fact that being on the left means you hold views that make you an ally to the marginalized. So, they just don't get that when they say something racist, homophobic, misogynistic, xenophobic, Islamophobic, or just generally nasty, they get "cancelled." See how many of them are mad that they can't say the n-word without consequences while rappers do. It's a sickness.
