Democrat Jim Webb Stands Up For 'Southern White Cultures'

[Lakhota]

WASHINGTON -- Democratic presidential candidate Jim Webb on Sunday suggested that recent efforts to remove Confederate symbols from public places were as "divisive" as Donald Trump's disparaging comments about Mexican immigrants.

Without prompting from "Fox News Sunday" host Bret Baier, who had been asking questions about national security, Webb asked if he could please talk about Trump, the billionaire GOP candidate who has called Mexican immigrants rapists and criminals. Webb criticized Trump before pivoting.

"This kind of divisive, inflammatory rhetoric by people who want to be commander-in-chief is not helpful, and we have seen from the liberal side as well this kind of rhetoric as it goes to Southern white cultures," the former Virginia senator said, apparently referring to recent debates over the Confederate flag.

"We need to be inclusive and recognize that we have problems and that we can come together to solve them," Webb said. "But don't be throwing these bombs to our cultural groups."

Democrats in Congress this week pushed a resolution calling for the removal of Confederate flags from the U.S. Capitol grounds, the latest phase of a push against the Southern icon sparked by the racially motivated mass murder of nine African-Americans in a South Carolina church last month. On Friday, the Republican-controlled South Carolina state government took down the Confederate flag that had been flying at the state capitol building.

Webb has seemed eager to distinguish himself as the only Democratic candidate with a really nuanced take on the flag, in an apparent effort to win over white working-class voters who increasingly vote Republican. On Sunday, Baier asked Webb whether he thought efforts to remove Confederate symbols from public places were racial healing or political grandstanding. In response, Webb again compared the Confederate debate to Trump trashing Mexican immigrants.

"Unfortunately, I think you're seeing it from both sides, which is why I mention the situation with Donald Trump with respect to Mexican-Americans," Webb said. "We're seeing an issue which should have been resolved and now is resolved, flying the Confederate battle flag in public places, morphing into something different."

What about southern black cultures? How can Webb honestly compare Trump's hateful immigration rhetoric with the racist Confederate flag?

Maybe this is just Webb's shtick to get noticed - like Trump is using immigration.

What is wrong with standing up for White Culture? After all, the founders wanted this country for free White people. See the Naturalization Act of 1790 where it is plainly written.

Unlike Hilary Clinton, Jim Webb is authentic. If Hilary is the Democrat candidate the Republicans will be in the White House.

Which one?

 

[LoneLaugher]

Removing the confederate flag from government property is an inclusive act. Webb is wrong.

 

[Lakhota]

I thought Webb would be more than just a flash in the pan. Bye bye, Jimmy...

 

[Moonglow]

The NAACP had been boycotting South Carolina for 15 years over the flag....I guess honkies are too weak to be the leader of the USA now?

 

[Mac1958]

Well, he's toast by saying that liberals also use inflammatory rhetoric. He knows that both sides are contributing to the problem.

PC is their holy sacred cow, they certainly don't want anyone on their side pointing out its divisiveness.

Although more and more are, thankfully. But he's just committed political suicide, as if he had a chance in the first place.

Webb played Trump roulette and the gun fired.

No dummy. Some liberals use inflammatory rhetoric. Just not the ones we normally consider for important jobs in government. Every now and then, a guy like Grayson gets a few years in congress.....but he's not going to get a leadership position. He won't chair any fucking committees.

Both sides don't do it, pal.
