General John Kelly: "He said that, in his opinion, Mr. Trump met the definition of a fascist, would govern like a dictator if allowed, and had no understanding of the Constitution or the concept of rule of law."
This is the group of people, all supporters of the GOP and former President Trump who use pejoratives like, "Moochelle", "Halfrican", "Faggot", "Camel Jockey", "Negris", "Moslim" and more, and yet with all sincerity, say and believe they are not racist or misogynistic.
Racism and bigotry are inexcusable even when a mayor of a town says whites are excluded from a party and it is only for people of color. People have different opinions even if you disagree.
This was a PRIVATE, not open to the public, PARTY.
It would be like YOU having a party in your home just for your friends and excluding those who are not your friends. That's what this was.
If it were a PUBLIC event on PUBLIC property, that would be wrong. She was INVITED to attend and host the event, and she did.
But I knew that the people who had no information about this event would howl FOUL! Even if there was no foul.
"Did the Mayor of Boston have a no whites party?
Boston Mayor Michelle Wu did not violate state discrimination laws by holding a 'no whites' holiday party because the event was not open to the public, Massachusetts Attorney General has ruled. Democrat Wu hosted the controversial event in December for 'electeds of color'.'
BTW, you DO know that many PRIVATE clubs (for only whites and only people of color) exist, as do PRIVATE clubs for only males and females, certain professions, etc. and those organizations have PRIVATE parties for their members. This event was one of them.
I'm shocked! Shocked! to know that private organizations do this!
PS: There are PRIVATE clubs in my neighborhood that are for people of ITALIAN heritage ONLY. Do you want to report this as exclusionary? Even I, who is first generation Italian heritage, cannot just walk in, I must be invited.
There are PRIVATE country clubs where only certain members, who can afford to pay the fees, are allowed in. There are such PRIVATE clubs that exist all over this country.
In a post, on X, the app formerly known as Twitter, City Councilor Ricardo Arroyo seemed to make fun of people’s outrage.
“Never let facts get in the way of some manufactured outrage,” Ricardo wrote. “Electeds of Color has existed for over a decade and the holiday party is an annual tradition. Wait until someone tells them about the Congressional Black Caucus or MA Black and Latino Legislative Caucus. The horror!!”
I would never have a party and announce if you are a person of color you can't come. This was a private party for government employees as long as they were not white.
Nice try but doesn't fly. Racism comes from many places and people as do hypocrites. The same people who think this action is OK are the same people who are offended by the saying Make America Great. Anti anything that is conservative.
For the record, racism is built into the laws and social contract of a country against a specific group of people.
People of color are harmed by the racist laws and mores of our culture. Therefore when they condemn a group of people by their skin they can be accused of bigotry (as can Caucasian humans) but not racism.
As I see the issue it's a lot like every square is a rectangle but not all rectangles are squares. Minorities are bigots but not racist. Whites can be both racist and bigots. Yay us!??!!!
The Mayor had the right to hold her party and was cleared by those charged with her oversite but skud won't let those facts get in the way of their endless indignation. After all, someone who looks different than themselves got to do a thing they wish they could do.
MAGA is NOT what the orange hued human orangutan is doing. Rather, he is doing the EXACT opposite. Used by Trump and MAGA'ts the slogan is in fact oxymoronic.
skud, your persecution complex is showing. Might want to get that checked.
I can't speak for anyone but myself, but I've never said I'm anti-conservative. I mock them regularly but that's not anti - that's keeping them honest and on their toes.
What I am (giving you a list skud so you won't get confused) is this: for transparency, keeping ones word, one set of laws and justice for all, and will continue to fight until I die against all attempts to thwart these ideals.
For this I am called woke and strange and accused of not understanding 'big boy' business. I understand all right. Cis-gender Caucasian heterosexual males have been in charge for millennia and have grown accustomed to 100% access to the pie of life. Now equality is spreading and they must learn how to share.
We can all see how those sharing lessons are going.
On a somewhat related note Skuds, since you brought it up, when did America stop being great? It's been the essential nation since WWI. On the racist thing? Shit dude. We're all bigoted to some degree or another. What the party givers are guilty of is giving magats another nonsense talking point. Of course the maga crowd would find fault with the Easter Bunny so hell. Let's throw a party just for atheists and really give them a mass heart attack.
T and grey, I get that you are fine with excluding certain people from a public sponsored events but that goes against laws against racism regardless of the race.
Sadly poor deluded Skuds runs from discussion with another pathetic and meaningless quip. if his last comment even qualifies as a quip. I guess I'm a modern day Diogenes searching for an honest righty capable of any kind of cogent argument for their side. One day perhaps I shall meet one.

Shaw, why the surprise?
We've seen it for years.
Trump supporters all think they're in on the joke. They may never realize the joke is on them.

Mar-a-Largo is one of them.

How many times, skud must we have to tell you that:
THE ATTORNEY GENERAL DETERMINED THAT MAYOR WU DID NOT VIOLATE ANY MASSACHUSETTS LAW.
THIS PARTY HAS BEEN A TRADITION FOR A DECADE -- LONG, LONG BEFORE MAYOR WU WAS EVEN IN POLITICS, NEVER MIND THE MAYOR.
You keep bringing it up for reasons we can only guess. And they're NOT good!

Yep. While they all will be CENSURED OUT prematurely. :-))))
