1)  You don't know that.

2)  So you're saying I can "jokingly or sarcastically" call a black person the N word and not expect to get punched in the face?  Hmmm........

Seriously, why do you libs always make excuses for the racism in your party?  At least Tim acknowledges Biden's racist comments but somehow using pretzel logic justifies it.  But at least he acknowledges that it is in fact racist.

No, Strawman.

Anyone notice that, when Fonzie turned around to confront the big racist, he was standing on a footrest?

Henry Winkler is little AF; making him seem tough throughout the run of the show is IMO one of TV's great accomplishments.

There was a black character they called “Sticks” he was in the house band at Arnold’s with Malph, Potsie and Richie. I believe Richie played the sax. Sticks played the drums. I’m pretty sure he got whacked after the Lufthansa heist because he didn’t get rid of the truck they used.

I am, the systemic set of rules that Democrats used for so long were wrung out of the system.  Without these weapons in their arsenal they had to come up with other ways.

So now we can see their tactic in liberal areas like California, Portland and NYC.....allows criminals to run rampant on them, harm them financially....impede them from access to one of the key elements of success....a family....

So they abandoned the systemic racism, and now through elections foment harm.....pretend to be the solution....create more harm, pretend to be the solution

Its perverse, and in some sinister form of Stockholm syndrome the impacted communities keep voting for people who tell them the right words, and take actions that harm them.....which is why we have to stand up to Democrats at every turn

Well, to be fair, mostly by other blacks, but yeah.....there are enough white Democrats being elected to support your assertion. Of course, if your intention was to pretend that racism was eradicated that is of course farcical on its face....its the systemic element we managed to wring out.....now that racism is isolated to pockets where Democrats are most dominant.....we still have work to do

You said “racism is isolated to pockets where Democrats are most dominant.”

I’m simply pointing out that that statement is laughably inaccurate.  Add it to your recent list of similar statements.

So you are assuming those people are not Democrats, the ones you described, well...ok, lets run with that....Tell me how those people you mentioned, enact legislation that harmed the AA community....or is there flag the source of the harm?

Once again, I was replying to the statement that “racism is isolated to pockets where Democrats are most dominant.”

Democrats are not most dominant in the rural south, and there are plenty of racists there (they’re not all racists though of course).  If any of those racists are hiring managers for example then blacks could still be impacted by systemic racism in those areas.

Agree with your approach.

Now, Tell me how those people you mentioned, enact legislation that harmed the AA community....or is there flag the source of the harm?  By way of example, lets say.....there were 100 job available in one of these locales....and those horrible flag people brought in a bunch of people from the Phillipines who took most of those jobs, and those meaner managers gave the money and a place to stay....which they denied those AA's for decades, now THAT is some proof of racism

Interesting revision of my statement...."now that racism is isolated to pockets where Democrats are most dominant.....we still have work to do"

I might suggest you consider, showing me evidence of racism.....anywhere, lets just start with that.....and racism is not simply "oh there is a confederate flag"...nope....racism is active harm toward AA's.....like in NYC where there is murder, lack of economic opportunity and non'AA's getting benefits over that community.....show me racism where its impacting.

I am not interested in the spectral "its just out there......", nope, show an outcome....like the plight of these people in Oakland....maybe start there....or Chicago..... and lets see who has been running the show in those locations where actual racism.....the harm to AA's is evident.

Am I supposed to dignify your claim with an actual response? Nobody over the age of 10 thinks racists only come from one political side of the aisle.
