Yup, that’s my stupid GOP controlled state legislature. Arizona! It’s a dry hate.

Why wasn’t Syms censured as well? She’s the one who included the racial slur in her column in the first place…:roll_eyes:

Well played, sir. A fresh and hilarious twist on an oft-used adage! You might just get credit for inventing a new saying! :joy:

“The only two black members of the Arizona Legislature were formally chastised for speaking out against a Republican lawmaker’s published column, which included a racial slur they say derided black activists while attempting to discredit leaders of a teacher group protesting for better pay.”

I expected GOP attempts to discredit impoverished school teachers as “greedy union goons”.

But I hoped we might be spared the “violent ‘blah’ thugs endangering white students” narrative.

I should’ve known better.

Majority Republicans voted to formally rebuke Bolding as well as the only other black member of the Legislature, Democratic Rep. Geraldine Peten, …
, for being “uppity” and “not knowing their place”.

Please. We must have civility. At least from n*****s.

There is no shortage in the legislature of the state wherein you and I reside.
I should be surprised but I’m not at the antics up in Phoenix. There has been a lotta worse stuff. Sadly the denizens of the halls and meeting rooms of the Capitol reflect a large portion of the folk that inhabit Arizona … otherwise those clowns would not get elected. One would think by now we would be past racial/racist attitudes but this state is every bit as racist as Alabama or Georgia.
