Oh Horrors . Just in time for Halloween : Politician speaks the truth
11 Likes
I don’t know what century Bobby Jindal is living in, but she was being completely honest and more importantly she’s right. We hear on this site everyday from people who live in red states in the south what they deal with and hear about the President on a daily basis. I’ll trust their perception over his any day of the week.

Wow it’s refreshing to hear someone tell it the way it is. Of course Jindal doesn’t have the ability to do that and criticizes her for it.

She must be desperate to try something that crazy.

Thank you, Sen. Landrieu, for acknowledging the one thing too many in the media and many on both the right and left refuse to acknowledge. The president is unpopular in many of these states not because of his policies but because he’s black. Pure and simple.

There’s that projection thing again. Sigh.

Does Bobby Jindal not know that in this very century, the people of Louisiana , his constituents, would use him for gator bait if he dared move in next door. Jindal ranks right up there with Orrin Hatch, Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan as politicians that come close to making me physically ill from the sleaze that oozes from their every pore.

Lol.
If a hurricane hadn’t blown through Louisiana in 2005 and forced its Democratic leaning African Americans to run for their lives, LA at least might be more friendly.

Who isn’t?
Why yes Bobby, when someone tells the truth about racism being rampant in the South, which most of us with a clue are quite capable of seeing every day, it is something that is very divisive. Especially for the party who is guilty of promoting that racism 24/7, while of course also blatantly trying to keep those people of color from being able to vote. By the way Bobby, look up the word “token”. I heard your face is used as the number one definition of the word.

Yes, we do realize that in GOTP la la land, someone actually stating the truth is seen as desperation. Racists can’t stand being called racists, even when they proudly wear their racism on their sleeve every day of their miserable lives.

Horrors. Politician states that people with documented history of skin color discrimination in the USA (From African kidnapped victims assault/slavery to Jim Crow to separate but equal bathrooms, segregated schools, poll taxes, stop & frisk, skin color profiling, etc etc) could be victim of skin color discrimination. WHAT? Really?
With USA’s history of discrimination based on sick obsession with people’s complexion how could she dare suggest that people could be discriminated against based on skin complexion in a country founded on skin color discrimination? Really? So when are we going to be told 2+ 2 NOT EQUAL to 4??!!
Racists will never acknowledge racism because they want it to continue. In AA they’re told the first step towards fixing an emotional/alcohol problem is to acknowledge it exists. Skin color prejudice is clearly a mental illness, it’s illogical narcissism.
They don’t want to acknowledge the illness thus work towards curing it.
By denying the obvious, the racist proves he/she wants the unfair racism that benefits them to continue. That’s clear. We all know that people are conditioned and brainwashed from birth to practice skin color prejudice as if it’s a logical behavior. Why else keep the racism closeted rather than acknowledge/repudiate the sick behavior, if not to perpetuate the sick behavior? No other reason.

And no thanks to the Southern Strategy, disgusting attempts to discriminate continues against black and brown voters, while being imported for political manipulation elsewhere around the country. Hell, there’s a reason they don’t call it the Northern Strategy…
