Correct. I'm pointing out the definition of racism. It's impossible to be racist towards your own race. Care to try again?

Now, if you said 'prejudiced' you'd be correct
This seems a tortured argument to justify racism.

I'm only interested in facts and the true meaning of words. You just can't change long standing definitions of words to suit your agenda.

But since you tend to think democrats are racist towards white people, give me an example.

Question... Why on earth would anyone ever elect a 29 year old to hold any kind of political influence?

That just seems like the stupidest thing I've ever heard.
Seems to me like many more 30 year olds should be elected instead of older people who have a limited set of ideas about the world today and more about the ideas of their own youth.

It seems that the Left has considered the Trump administration such a circus that they felt entitled to add a few clowns of their own to the show. Gotta admit though, AOC dances better in heels than The Donald....

When I was younger, I had plenty of ideas. (Occasionally still get one.)
And it's a good thing that I didn't have the power to implement all of them.
Experience imposes a rather darwinian selection mechanism...weeding
out the bone headed ones. Gawd...the things that we thought as kids.

I'm still somewhat repelled by her looking a little horsey (the teeth).
But hey, nearly everyone has physical imperfections.

Here's a tip, it's impossible to make racist statements towards your own race.
Democrats don't make racist statements towards white people. But it's well known that republicans make racist statements (unknowingly) towards other races.


Sooo... when a black Democrat Congressman calls a black Republican Congressman an 'Uncle Tom' that's not racist?

For 40 or 50 years the rich have been slowly pillaging our economy and our society. The middle class is in serious trouble, our education system is in trouble, our infrastructure is in trouble, our environment is in trouble, and so on. It seems to me that AOC's ideas are a bit of an overcorrection to reverse this bad trend. We won't end up implementing her policies outright, but I think she'll help us get the pendulum swinging back towards a healthier country.

New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (left, with Rep. Grace Meng) is promoting socialist-leaning policies that make centrist Democrats worry; Ocasio-Cortez, who is 29 years old, doesn't care

'New party, who dis?' Ocasio-Cortez mocks aging Joe Lieberman for hoping 'she's not the future' | Daily Mail Online

Well, if the article is true that she wants to raise taxes on the wealthy and bring about socialized medicine, I would support that. Saying "who dis?" might be a bit of silliness, but it fits in with the rest of the silliness going on our government these days. It's not a surprise that the old guard Democrats (the same ones who sold out to the Reaganites decades ago) would be against her.

I don't care that she's young. It's the ideals and principles that are important, not age.

No, that's a liberal being tolerant & progressive.
And everyone knows that black folk cannot be racist.
(They don't have the power.)

(Let's if this provokes anyone, eh.0
