    It could have been worse. Biden could have attended.

    When you say "democrats" you are part of the problem.

    Democrats and Republicans are both ruining the country, anyone who seems themselves as part of either of those teams is part of the problem.

    The DP has always been the party of institutional systemic racism in the US. The party bosses frequently openly display their unfiltered racism.

    “The next most common discrimination experiences were those directed at Hispanics by non-Hispanics and Hispanics alike, with the chances of these incidents happening linked to skin color. Some 42% of Hispanics with darker skin personally experienced discrimination or were treated unfairly by someone who is not Hispanic, while 29% of those with lighter skin say the same happened to them.”

    Republican pols are part of the problem, but they are far less racist than DP pols.

    OTOH, ordinary American Republicans and Democrats have, for the most part, gotten past the kind of racist power play attempted by Pelosi and other politicians who use racism to intimidate and dominate minority opposition.

    When your fellow Democrats here on the board spot racism in a bowl of Cheerios and then the clouds I expect you to tell them the same thing

    Ad hominem personal attacks are not rational substantive rebuttal.

    The fact that the DP has always been the party of systemic racism in America is well documented.
    Pelosi's racist humiliation of the new Congresswomen and her child are IMO beyond any rational denial. Watch the video, behold white racist hate.

    I'm not a Democrat. There is no rhyme or reason behind the way our two parties align their views on the issues. Anyone who's political views align with either party, don't really have their own opinions on anything.

    Not an Ad Hominem, sorry if I hurt your feelings. I'm not defending any political party.

    IMO, you are right about that.

    "By then, both parties had effectively abandoned integration as national policy, beyond what had already been achieved (and even that came under fire. in the Reagan/Bush administrations). Neither party pressed hard for further racial gains or pushed for enforcement of what had been done, and both treated racial aspirations largely as a patronage problem to be handled by Cabinet appointments and other political spoils. Most important, neither party was willing or professed to see the necessity to mount an attack on the economic trends that had created the inner-city ghetto and that also were keeping many whites and non-ghetto blacks in poverty and hopelessness."

    It is pure as hominem. Look up the definition. It is always used to chill rational discussion.
    It is against the rules here, and it undermines the credibility of anyone who resorts to such tactics.

    You are defending Pelosi's aggressive racism. Which is frankly astonishing.

    If we could get poor white and poor non whites to realize they are getting screwed by the same people we could make some progress.

    No where did I defend Pelosi. Again you are mischaracterizing what I said. Just like you did when you accused me of an ad hominem.

    I agree. That certainly should have started during Reconstruction and after. Alas.

    Why does that make her a "skank"?
    He fondles the Pope's hand until it's smacked away.
    He hangs onto handshakes trying to pull other men close for a kiss.
    He openly admitted grabbing women by the vay-jay.
    All of the is your imagination.
    Libs aren't the ones fighting CRT, tolerance or inclusion.
    Your posting history proves you use similar "rating" systems.

    Yes, no doubt. Especially when she drop kicked her as many times as she did.

    Pelosi's treatment of the new Congresswoman and her child was aggressively racist. You insist that it was not. That is a defense. IMO, you are just wrong for the reasons stated.

    That does not make "you" the problem.
    Pelosi's racism is the problem as the video shows.

    "ad hominem [ad hom-uh-nuh m -nem, ahd‐]

    1. appealing to one's prejudices, emotions, or special interests rather than to one's intellect or reason.
    2. attacking an opponent's character rather than answering his argument."

    There has been no evidence provided to support the notion that racism was the reason she elbowed the kid. Not a single shred.

    Is it your position that "battery" requires physical injury?

    yea, i have seen the video. Not a single shred of evidence suggests racism was involved.

    That goes back to me saying you are part of the problem.

    It's my position you're being hysterical with this whole 'battery' accusation. Anyone with eyes can see the dope Pelosi lightly pushed her elbow against the young girl. Is this really what grown "men" are losing their minds over? Seriously? WTF

    The video is conclusive evidence of racism.
    A savvy white privileged politician would never batter and humiliate a minority child in front of her mother without racist intent. Pelosi assumed she would get away with it.

    Wait...what? So, from this short video, you know with 100% certainly the intent of Pelosi? I hope you never serve on a jury given the bias you clearly have.

    Another personal attack on me as "being hysterical"?
    Note that I continue to focus on the issue: the act of blatant white racism captured on the video.

    Focus: Is it your position that "battery" requires physical injury?

    Why no answer?
