Buttigieg says White supremacy could be issue that ends this country. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/white-supremacy-could-be-issue-that-ends-this-country-presidential-candidate-says/ar-AAEDtkB?ocid=spartandhp

"Also, in my view, it means treating racial inequality as a specialty issue, as an issue to be talked about with audiences of color only -- but as something that frankly white Americans need to take more seriously," he added.

Nothing will bring the country together more than having closed groups discuss how Whitey is the devil.

Huh. I was kind of thinking that POC supremacy will be the end of this country.

It would be a real shame if we had to categorize people by "Jackass" and "Not a Jackass" vs by skin color. These freakin' SJWs have set race relations back 100 years, and they (and the MSM) should consider themselves responsible for any of these fringe white power groups even making the news cycle, vs having their little rallys in the middle of nowhere with no one paying attention.

And yet it's always Republicans that stand accused of fear-mongering.

Have they erased our black president from the record yet? What was his name? ???

What's his name wasn't really black, he was half white. So maybe he should be recorded in history books as our first gray president.

As well as the president who personally set race relations back fifty years. The media accuse Trump of being a racist, but they never said "Boo" when what's his name played the race card at every possible opportunity.

"Black," as the term itself suggests, is almost entirely a matter of appearance. Obama looks black, so he's black, and that's really all there is to it.

Let the lefties argue about how "black" he is.

Same as how people use "white hispanic". It's more of a narrative thing.

I assume it's the same in all states, but buying a gun, I do notice the "white - not hispanic" checkbox on the paperwork.

A narrative that keeps popping up, without ever proving anything. OK, so Obama's half-black and half-white. So? If you're half-white, but you still look black, you're black. Obama looks black.

The only time we can be absolutely sure that M. Obama will not run for President will be the day after the election.
If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

People seem to think a lot of her.  IMO, she just comes across as an angry lady.  I don't think she has what it takes to win and she knows it.

Unfortunately there's a rather large segment of the population that will vote for her based solely on the fact she's A) black and B) a woman just so that they can can prove  to themselves how woke they are. They were able to check off one of those in 08 and 12

I think the last election showed that an unlikable woman is not a lock to win.  Running against Trump won't be the same as running against McCain and Romney.  Barack Obama was likeable, well spoken, and has some charisma (according to some).  His wife doesn't have that.

It doesn't really matter who it is that survives the current cage match.  The media and online powers will be pulling out all the stops to get them elected.  If I didn't care about outcome, it would be an interesting event to watch.

I'm at a trivia night right now, and she was just an answer - "What celebrity is known as The Divine Ms. M?" With her, "America's Pastor" Buttigieg, and the crystal-healer-tarot-card lady in this race [sic], it looks like the Democrats have overcome their qualms about mixing politics and religion.

I would believe that, save for the massive drop in support for Kamala Harris in the black community. Someone is paying attention for such a huge drop.
I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

Say one thing to one group then turn around and say the opposite to another

    On the question of outright banning certain firearms for cosmetic features, bullets of any random size, or banning magazines holding an arbitrary number of cartridges, I am adamantly opposed and do not believe that laws should be based on random limits just for the sake of limiting gun ownership or usage.

    Furthermore the attempt to limit the purchase of firearms to arbitrary time periods – such as “one-gun-a-month” – will not solve any crimes and will only [curtail] the Constitutional rights of law abiding citizens.

    I share your concerns about these and other attempts that could contribute to the slippery slope of government confiscation of people’s firearms based on the arbitrary whim of politics and public opinion.
