Vance refuses to set red lines over bigotry at Turning Point USA's convention : NPR

https://share.google/Qxp10vsvOn8NHnFcV

Vance ... did not define any boundaries for the conservative movement besides patriotism.

"We don't care if you're white or black, rich or poor, young or old, rural or urban, controversial or a little bit boring, or somewhere in between," he said.


Of course, this is at odds with Charlie Kirk who claimed that he couldn't trust a black airline pilot.

Vance ticked off what he said were the accomplishments of the administration as it approaches the one-year mark, noting its efforts at the border and on the economy. He emphasized efforts to end diversity, equity and inclusion policies, drawing applause by saying they had been relegated to the "dustbin of history."

"In the United States of America, you don't have to apologize for being white anymore," he said.


Given that Vance's wife and children are non-white, is he testing the waters to leave them for Erika Kirk?

Vance also said the U.S. "always will be a Christian nation," adding that "Christianity is America's creed, the shared moral language from the Revolution to the Civil War and beyond."

The Constitution says otherwise, of course.

Asked in August whether Vance was the "heir apparent," Trump said "Most likely. It's too early, obviously, to talk about it, but certainly he's doing a great job, and he would be probably favorite at this point," he said.

With a ringing endorsement like that, it's a little early for Vance to start measuring the Oval Office for a couch.

What a load of 'who shot John'.

"We don't care if you're white or black, rich or poor, young or old, rural or urban, controversial or a little bit boring, or somewhere in between," he said.

That's testing the water of bigotry?

Obviously they do care about race, since they don't think a black pilot can be competent, and they're arresting citizens for the crime of being non-white. And Vance seems to be more chummy with the very-white Erika Kirk than his own wife. Since the GOP has made it clear that they don't care about marital fidelity, one can see how Vance might want to increase his appeal by ditching his wife.

Yes, the 'black pilot' quote has been waved like a flag - tell me - was he speaking of the race, or DEI where they overlooked more qualitied people to fill their racial quota's.

Let's stay intellectually honest please.

It's the assumption that DEI necessarily rejects better qualified white people which lacks intellectual honesty.

Since the site is having great issues and will not allow quotes -

Obviously they do care about race, since they don't think a black pilot can be competent,

My Reply - that is a media lie - he never said such a thing -

and they're arresting citizens for the crime of being non-white.

My reply - that is a media lie - criminals are arrested based on their criminal act (like entering the country illegally), not their race

And Vance seems to be more chummy with the very-white Erika Kirk than his own wife.

My reply - that's nothing more than slander

Since the GOP has made it clear that they don't care about marital fidelity, one can see how Vance might want to increase his appeal by ditching his wife.

My reply - that doesn't even dignify a response -

Demonstrably incorrect: When there are governmental mandates on hiring saying the company needs x number of non white and you need two to make that quota - there are applicants and only one is not white - guess who gets hired so you can follow the mandates.

He hasn't been "testing". He's been swimming in it for a while. He just wears a swim cap and insists that the chlorine smell is from his shampoo.

When he was speaking of the black pilot, he was speaking of the pilot's race, for sure. He was also speaking of his own suspicion that black pilots are not as qualified as white pilots.

Quote it in context - you are the one making the assertion - prove it.

I wasn't quoting him at at all, in or out of context, but making a reference. If you want to quote him, that's up to you.

Black refers to race, in the case of the pilot. Not his hair, not the state of his soul, but his race. If you think that "black pilot" refers to something other than a "black pilot", do tell. It's not a metaphor.

DEI does not mandate hiring less qualified candidates to meet quotas.

Tell that to the Air Traffic Controllers

Tell what to the ATC?

I know this site is mostly broken, but that means you need to use nouns rather than pronouns more explicitly. (switching to BB code mode seems to help, some.)

I agree. The Trump/Vance admin is not testing. It's more like full on application of bigotry. Every group that has Temporary Projection Status has been revoked by Trump/Vance, and asked to get out. Every group except the two white ones in those of Ukraine; and only those who are white and from South Africa.

"In the United States of America, you don't have to apologize for being white anymore,"

Who says they need to? Sounds like Vance already has a guilty conscience about something.
I never did get that. My ancestors entered the country long enough ago that it is most likely that some of them owned slaves, yet I don't feel the least bit guilty about it or any need to apologize.
