CNN cuts ties with Rick Santorum over disparaging comments
Rick Santorum...

Don't know much about history
Don't know much biology
Don't know much about a science book


From the article:

"On CNN, Santorum was a senior political commentator who was often tasked with giving the Republican point of view during campaign coverage."

Anyone care to comment about whether or not he at least did his job? Because honestly, I've heard worse here on CF...

I wonder if they'll cut ties with people who make disparaging remarks about white culture.
White culture is called “culture”.
That’s the “benefit” of being numerically dominant...”white culture” is what we’ve had for 500 years; yes, that’s changing and it looks like “oppression” but no, it’s just the reality that white folk aren’t more “deserving” of having things their own way, anymore.

Why not just live as "people"? Whatever a person's skin color or race is, we're all just people. Personally, I see no reason why one should be elevated or oppressed based on that.

Because we’re different.
Yes as individuals we are different, but we also have other cultures and traditions asking to be seen/heard.
Apparently that’s “too much” to ask of people, to get them outside of their echo-chambers and cocoons and join the rest of us in the real world where there isn’t always a white picket fence in front of the neat, manicured lawn.
