Discussion: Gillum On DeSantis: 'I Am Simply Saying The Racists Believe He Is A Racist'

I SO look forward to seeing Mayor Gillum sworn in as Governor Gillum of FL.

Smart formulation. Gillum is making DeSantis look slow and stupid as well as mean and racist.

I posted this quote on my FB page because it’s one of the most bad ass descriptions of the Republican Party as a whole really. It’s not about whether black folk and other minorities believe they’re racists. It’s that the racists believe they’re racist. Racists keep aligning themselves with the GOP because they’re hearing the dog whistles (bullhorns).That’s the long and the short of it.

And I’m making a prediction right here and right now. If Gillum wins and does well over the next year or so, he’s the nominee. There’s no argument you can make in which he shouldn’t be the nominee or the VP. He’ll bring with him 29 electoral votes and the black vote. He’s Obama 2.0. Plus, he’s got a beautiful family, he’s dark skinned and so is his wife. Black women will have a damn field day campaigning for him.

Did Gillum hand DiSantis his head back to him. or did he just let it roll across the stage, slowly, slowly?

Works for me. From what I know of him to date, he’d make a great candidate and POTUS.

I’ll buy about 80 percent of that but man, as a way to tell the deplorables how much we say fuck their feelings, how much we give a rat’s ass whether they feel we respect them or not, it would be pretty much the awesomest thing ever. Oh, you wanna backlash? Do ya? Because here’s another black president! How you like that? They were worried about demographic trends, so they pull a move, fine, how about we crush you right now, today? Does that work for you? No? Too fucking bad. :sunglasses:

Best. Burn. Ever.

And as @pluckyinky plucky mentioned “one of the most bad ass descriptions of the Republican Party as a whole.”

DeSantis is also helping by being slow, stupid, mean, and racist.

I watched the clip and enjoyed the blank, dull-witted look on DeSantis’s face as Gillum delivered the smack.

Awesome.

Racist can spot a racist from miles away! Their first clue is they’re white!

That’s pretty much the majority of them isn’t it?

Not every Republican is a Racist, but every Racist IS a Republican.

Associating WITH racists and SAYING racist THINGS doesn’t MAKE someone a RACIST. Libtard smear. what do you think we are? Babies?

This quote drips of being desperate:

"DeSantis says Trump is a role model for children because he keeps his promises"
