McConnell hints Blacks are not Americans

[Harpy Eagle]

You should have supported Trump more since he was trying to break up corruption and political monopolies.

Trump was there to play his part like all the rest, to further the divide of the country.

 

[bripat9643]

That is correct, since the "they" that has been dividing the country are both wings, the duopoly. Together they have pushed to divide the county so that their power will never be threatened again.

And people like you are their ever helpful pawns in the process

You only blame the right for doing that. You're a leftwinger.

This country is divided because the left has been attacking it since the Civil War.

You ain't Black unless you stroke Joe's Sack!

Trump simply recognized a fact. This country has been divided for 150 years.

Democrats have been telling Americans for years that Blacks are too dumb to access something as basic as a photo I.D. and lefties jump on McConnell for a "poor choice of words. Give me a freaking break

Please quote him saying black Americans aren't Americans.

During his conference, McConnell was asked about the concerns people of color would have now that voting reform is no longer possible. In response, he said, "The concern is misplaced. Because if you look at the statistics, African-American voters are voting in just as high a percentage as Americans."

That sounds like African American voters are not really "Americans."

trump has divided the country like no one before him. He is a Serial Liar and enjoys seeing people at each other's throats.

That was simply a verbal gaff. He meant "other Americans."\

Only a douchebag would accept your interpretation of his remarks.

Sen McConnell put his foot in his mouth and swallowed his shoe whole…

That's total horseshit, of course. Dims have been dividing this country for 150 years. That's what "identity politics" means, asshole.

He did nothing of the sort. You only proved that you're a douchebag.

 

[SassyIrishLass]

I'm no fan of McConnell but that's a nothing burger

Where’s the exact quote?

It's in the link. What's wrong? You can't read anything longer than a tweet?

Did Mitch McConnell REALLY mean Black people aren't Americans?

Internet left shocked and angry after McConnell's comments at a press conference after killing voting rights bills, says 'concern is misplaced'

meaww.com

Wow...Mitch...you might want to bite your tongue before you speak in the future...

This is such BS… you know what he meant so your fake outrage is petty..

 

[g5000]

McConnell: "The concern is misplaced. Because if you look at the statistics, African-American voters are voting in just as high a percentage as Americans."

And from that, a tempest in a teapot.

You have to be a seriously obtuse asshole to not get what he meant and turn it into something racist.

 

[bripat9643]

So?

 

[g5000]

"The concern is misplaced. Because if you look at the statistics, African-American voters are voting in just as high a percentage as Americans."

I don't know if the claim that blacks are voting at the same percentage as everyone else is true or not, but the Republicans are definitely attempting to make sure that they no longer do. That's the whole point behind the voting rights bill. The point is to preserve turnout.

IDK why people, including blacks themselves, say they are "african american"
No bitch, you are American.

Well, maybe they are 3/5 American?
