It doesn't appear that even the one black Republican member of the United States Senate is thrilled with Trump right now:

"Instead of sharing how the Democratic Party's far-left, pro-socialist policies - not to mention the hateful language some of their members have used towards law enforcement and Jews - are wrong for the future of our nation, the President interjected with unacceptable personal attacks and racially offensive language. No matter our political disagreements, aiming for the lowest common denominator will only divide our country further." - Senator Tim Scott (Republican - South Carolina)

****************

Now, clearly, Senator Tim Scott has a bigger problem with Democrats than he does with Trump, but judging from the above quote, does it sound like he is a supporter of Trump for any other reason than the fact that Trump calls himself a Republican? To answer your question, the blacks who support Trump are not racists themselves, but they do think that Trump is a racist in many cases (such as is the case with Senator Tim Scott)... They just choose to overlook it, because they would support a Republican President no matter who he was.

Haven't we had this conversation before? Nowhere in that quote does Tim Scott say Trump is a racist. If I said you made a dumba$$ comment does that mean I think you are a dumba$$ in general? Many everyday blacks do not like the democratic party but have swallowed hard as they've pressed the vote button. I'm not referring to many of the leftwing nitwits on television. It is getting harder to do.

Not exactly a spring chicken- I'll be 65 soon. And I did watch that show a time or two as a youngster; would have recognized Chuck Connor if you'd used a Rifleman pic but I just didn't cotton onto ole Rowdy lol.

Rawhide TV Series ran from 1959-1965.....217 black & white episodes. CBS Network on Friday nights.
I'm guessing Eastwood was in his late 20s and/or early 30s during this time.

I notice that 4 Republicans voted in favor of it... Good for them, that is 4 more than I expected.

So you aren't the least bit concerned that instead of working to solve real issues in this country these fools are pandering and wasting time with this bullsheet? Anywhere else most of these jackwads would be fired instead they are suck off the teet of big government.

Moderate Dem slams 'squad' for threatening to primary him: 'They're not Democrats ... they're socialists'

Rep. Henry Cuellar, D-Texas, responded to the threat of a primary from the four female progressive House members known as "the squad" on Tuesday and accused them of being socialists in disguise.

"I mean it's this group called the Justice Democrats. I think they're not Democrats quite honestly," he said on "Your World with Neil Cavuto."

"They're socialists and they want to impose their vision to Texas and we certainly know that in Texas our vision is very different from ... what I call these Justice Democrats, which are really socialists. They're not really Democrats."

Cuellar said he isn't the only Democrat to fall into the squad's crosshairs and claimed some members are being targeted for their support of Israel. He also predicted most Americans wouldn't side with the squad because their values don't line up with most Americans.

"I do know that they are going after different folks, for example, they're going after Juan Vargas... and the reason they're going after him is because he has a very strong pro-Israel voting record," he said.

"And that's just you know, just amazing that they're targeting him. They're going after Jim Costa also. They're going after Lacy Clay. They're going after other folks. But again, their vision is not the vision of most Americans."

Cuellar also praised the $4.6 billion bipartisan immigration package passed by Congress last month, which Ocasio-Cortez and Omar voted against. He said part of the funding will go to non-profits and churches, trying to help ease the crisis at the southern border.

Marianne Williamson asked white people to apologize to black audience members on speaking tour for slavery, lynchings, other issues

Spiritual guru and 2020 Democratic hopeful Marianne Williamson asked white members of her audience at an event last July to apologize to black people also in attendance for slavery, lynching, police brutality and other issues.

According to the Houston Chronicle, Williamson opened a stop of her "Love America" tour by asking all white people in the audience to stand up during an opening prayer.

She then asked them to hold hands with black members of the audience nearby, and start by saying "I apologize."

"With nearly 200 black people in the audience on their feet, Williamson apologized for slavery, lynching, murders, rapes of black women, destruction of the black family, mass incarceration of black men, being called the N-word and systemic and institutionalized racism and more," the Houston Chronicle's Joy Sewing wrote at the time.

And, based on video from other times, it seems as though Williamson asked audiences at other events to make similar apologies.

She also wrote a poem in 2016, titled "Prayer of Apology to African Americans."

It has nothing to do with anything here ... but I was just on Twitter and it was announced that "Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens has died".... and some really dumb conservatives were excited with "Trump gets another pick!" ... of course, Stevens retired in 2010.

I just wanted to share my own story on what a bunch of scholars internet Republicans are and bring a little piece of happiness to your day. What a brain trust conservatives are. LOL!

Not at all, I vote for the Democratic candidate 99% of the time - hard to believe, I know. The only time I have ever voted for a Republican was Bob Corker over Harold Ford Jr. in the 2006 Tennessee Senate General Election. And I only did that because of the corruption in the Ford family.

I think Barack Obama was a great President and I'm proud of those 2 votes. I was just curious if the person who was accusing me of being a racist... which, by the way, nobody who actually knows my name has ever accused me of... had ever voted for anyone who wasn't white? I thought it was a reasonable question considering his accusation against me.

Won't call you racist.. Will call you Republican.

Honest question here: how come so many black people call themselves Reverend? Are there any particular qualifications to earn the title? I’ve always wondered but never asked.
