Not necessarily. On whether DeSantis is a racist, I think Jesus said it all: "By their fruits ye shall know them" (Mt. 7:20).
He's clearly a racist or a racist panderer but what's clear during this failed presidential campaign is how uncomfortable he is around other humans. This guy has been locked in a bubble for way too long and can barely stand to be in the presence of the great unwashed.
And we know that he lied (or just expressed his opinion) when he said that the world would end before his generation passed away.
Damn. I thought we were making progress. Opinions don't require 'proof', son. If they did, they wouldn't be opinions, they'd be facts. And there's plenty of evidence (not proof) of DeSantis's racism. Honestly, this is stuff a grown man should know.
Over the years Joe Biden has many times referred to grown black men as "boy." Why does he do that? I don't think I've seen Trump do that. Weird.
And since CRT has never been taught in K-12 schools, dear leader is trying to use it as another “dog whistle” for his base.
I've never heard Biden call a black man "boy" (maybe he calls all men boys regardless of race, creed or color, as in "boyz will be boyz"), and I know I've never heard him call a black man "my African American."
Some because they are losing cheap labor (mostly big ag) and some because they are losing good, long term employees that they value and respect as people and hard working employees that they genuinely care about (mostly contractors). Both see it as an existential threat to their ability to operate their businesses going forward.
I really like this observation. I think insulated is a better word. He has surrounded himself with yes men/women. He also owns the state legislature. He is a de facto dictator of the state of FL. He wields his power in similar ways to a dictator. I am of the opinion he is dictator like. This does not and will not play on the national stage. In fact, it is off-putting. I will take a mentally diminished Biden every time over the trash the right is putting up.
And every time he opens his mouth Americans are going to hear his squeaky little voice saying 'blah blah woke blah blah blah woke blah woke woke blah blah woke...' It's not going to play well.
Sure, just make that poster say “ in my opinion he’s a racist, but I have zero facts to back that up”. Then I’ won’t have to call him a liar. He was lying in another thread saying DeSantis would never go on the attack against trump. He has a habit of lying. It’s ok to admit.
Biden is not and has never been a rocket scientist, but I don’t see any evidence to suggest that he has mentally diminished.
Yeah, it's hard to believe a mentally diminished man could take Kevin McCarthy to the cleaners on the debt ceiling negotiations and get the vast majority of Democrats in Congress to support the deal. I realize that McCarthy isn't the sharpest tool in the shed, but still.
One more time. Calling someone a racist or a bigot or an idiot or senile ... is an opinion. You're allowed to express those opinions about politicians. You are not allowed to express those about other posters, otherwise the board degenerates into nothing but name-calling. Is that really not clear?
Just a few. There are many more. Biden refers to Maryland’s first black governor as ‘boy’ in speech Biden calls Black adviser 'boy' during FEMA briefing Biden says he didn't intend to use term 'boy' in offensive context | CNN Politics
The things he says as does are all the evidence a reasonable person needs. If he looks like a racist, talks like a racist and acts like a racist, he’s a racist. And that’s the least of his vile traits. He’s a bigot and a wanna be fascist. Also he squeaks like a girl can’t stick to a single pronunciation of his name, bobs his head like a bobble head when people get in his grill, and is a short little obnoxious dweeb. Deal with it.
