JD Vance: Testing the waters of bigotry

[Larniavc]

So who is the bigot one for standing up for principles,

If a person ‘stands up’ for bigotry they are bigots. That is obvious.

Tulsi, Manchin and Sinema weren't forced out by anyone, besides their constituents, at the ballot box. None of them were really prominent voices on the left anyway but more importantly, none of them sticking around were ever as damaging to the left as Fuentes seems to be to the right.

....resulting from a concerted effort by coastal and New England democrats to paint them as sell-outs, and talking about how they were planning on primarying them in order to "get a real democrat in there"

They are sellouts, Tulsi especially, and I don’t believe any of them have any kind of entitlement to their office. If they can’t convince the voters to keep them around, they get the boot. That’s how electoral politics have always worked.

Thank you for saying this, because I was wondering why I couldn't reply.

bigot

a person who is obstinately or unreasonably attached to a belief, opinion, or faction, especially one who is prejudiced against or antagonistic toward a person or people on the basis of their membership of a particular group.

Sounds like liberals are bigoted against non-liberals by definition. EVERYONE is bigoted, but why make it about color?

EVERYONE is bigoted, but why make it about color?

That's what racist bigots do.

 

[Say it aint so]

There's absolutely zero bigotry in the Trump/Vance administration.

It's hard for people of a certain mindset to not see patent bigotry.
I just laid it out.
The guy who marked "C" on black apartment applicants for "colored" then throwing them in the trash is in fact a bigot.
You just waved it off without any rational why it's not.
It's like he's Nepo-baby Archie Bunker.

"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.

No, it hasn't been discussed at length...it's been discussed, but then as soon as the context is mentioned, certain people simply just ignore the replies and move on to a different thread to trot out the "Charlie Kirk doesn't trust Black pilots" (hoping to get more mileage and likes there in a different thread)


Again...for the 4th time...

His position was that:
In an environment where a certain amount of hiring is based on trying to fill certain quotas, and that initiative trumps "getting the most qualified person", that represents a lowering of the bar by ending up with a larger percentage of people on-staff who simply met the minimum requirements rather than the person who was the best candidate compared to all other candidates.

"Meets the qualifications" is different than "the best"

If a hospital was hiring brain surgeons, and they had a quota where "we have to get at least 5 Pittsburgh Steelers fans on-staff in the neurosurgery department, that's number 1 priority above all else" If I see my surgeon roll up in a Steelers hat and jersey, I'm going to be skeptical. That doesn't mean I hate Steelers fans or think that a Steelers fan isn't capable of being a good brain surgeon. It simply means I realize that if their organization said "no matter what, it'd gotta be a Steelers fan", that very likely means they could've passed over dozens of other more well qualified applicants in order to fill a quota.

Charlie Kirk's position was that if there were no DEI quotas in hiring, and it was all 100% based on who is the best (meritocracy), he'd have no problem with a Black pilot. It's the programs themselves that prioritize other aspects than "who's the best" that made him skeptical.

Was the bar lowered for pilot qualifications through DEI?

That’s not the most racist quote.

That’s not the most racist quote

The man is in and inter racial marriage with three children with a legal immigrant wife -

I have not seen a racial quote from the Vice President - only accusation and innuendo.

 

[essentialsaltes]

Thread is not actually about whether the veep is a bigot, but whether he welcomes bigots into the Big Tent of the GOP. He does. There are no 'purity tests'. Trump was ultimately able to clearly disavow David Duke. Vance declines to do something similar at this high profile event.

The man is in and inter racial marriage with three children with a legal immigrant wife -

Is that bigotry to assume his wife is an immigrant? She was born in California.

 

[Hans Blaster]

California is part of America, now? Shocking.

 

[GoldenBoy89]

So?

Does that change what he said about whites no longer having to apologize?

Apologize for what? Who is demanding white people apologize for anything? His whole statement is racially charged. Having a brown wife doesn’t change the words coming out of his mouth.

Some people have a hard time believing it, given how people look, even in supposedly conservative San Diego.

They really can’t help it sometimes.

 

[durangodawood]

This is a nation of immigrants. (Except for the population of indigenous white people.)

 

[Vambram]

Then why is Vance afraid to speak out? It should be easy to swipe away this antisemitic gnat.

LOL
Vice President Vance is not afraid to speak out. He has done so multiple times.

Got evidence for your accusation?
