    I'm not sure why you keep avoiding what the issue people have is. It's the "me" pigeon english that is the issue, not "Kimosabe".

    You should really look into the whole concept of cultural appropriation and black face and why certain terms, while not offensive to white people, might be offensive to people of color.

    I've already cited some other resources and commented, accordingly.

    Can every thread with @ABM stop becoming a a referendum on if he's racist? Anyone with at least two brain cells knows the answer to that, and we don't need to keep on litigating it.

    Back on topic again.... they''re not going quietly. If this happened in Egypt or Turkey, the State Department would be on the ground regulating their election. Yet the GOP and their sychophants keep on ignoring the obvious.

    Huge Trump car caravan disrupted some voters in Temecula, authorities say

    A massive caravan of supporters of President Trump paraded for 60 miles through Riverside County on Sunday afternoon before converging on a large Temecula sports park, blocking access to the site, which included a vote center, snarling traffic and upsetting some voters, officials there said.

    Those links, like a lot of what you post, don't really say what you think they do.

    I'm confused as to why so many GOPers are afraid of people voting.

    They're not GOP who are actually doing this stuff. They're Trump sympathizers, who are of the Sarah Palin, Tea Party ilk who blindly follow their dear leader's orders. The GOP is enabling it because they need the same voters. Think there is a distinction between the two groups.

    Again this tactic is so Trumpian! STOP! I shouldn't have to even say it! Kemosabe is a word. I'm not talking about kemosabe. However, using broken English and smoke signals is awful and racist.

    It seems mighty ingrained with you. And I really shouldn't say a word, but your worldview gets under my skin...

    You might as well have written @Propagandist. Haha.

    I will try and I'm sorry, but it's so hard! It's an everyday thing with this guy! And if things go Trump tomorrow or whenever, I expect it'll get a lot worse.

    I kind of disagree with this

    it was the entire post....the combination of kimosabe, pidgin english, smoke signals. Any single thing, by itself, would have been innocuous

    but it was his decision of putting all those components together that sunk his post to the level of ignorance and racism that has generated all this back and forth

    I can respect thats your take on it. To me, if it was the first time he said something like that, I would agree that's it was pretty innocuous.

    Heh, I may as well have followed with, what say you?

    Darned tootin'.

    Conversations (or whatever one might call them) can get down right laughable in here.


    The list goes on. I'll try and do better next time...
