Was it racist in Tennesee?

[emilseine45]

They expelled 2 black reps but not the white lady. However she only got saved due to 1 vote, narrowly if you will. Then are they saying that 1 person who didn't vote her out was racist? And how were all the other votes racsit?

You have to keep in mind that any time things don't go their way, it is deemed racist.

This is just one of the ways they have successfully muzzled the Conservative Right for decades. It works, so they keep using it.
Unfortunately at one time, racism was a real thing and it has come back to haunt generations.
That said, racism is not a "white" thing. It is a human thing. ALL races are guilty of racism.
(Blending of races is taming that monster over time, but then humans will just go back to a caste system to keep the division and bias alive and well)

It has the appearance of racism for sure. Looking like racists apparently doesn't bother these people that much when the republican base loves that kind of thing.

We now have hate crimes, hate speech, and hate thoughts. Why not hate votes?

But the vote for the white lady was just 1 vote. Does that mean she was racist and only her? Or could most of the votes be racist?

Racism undoubtedly played a role here but I see it more as an open attack on democracy.

So you think just that narrow win for the white lady was voted by a racist? They voted and she only got to stay due to one vote, does that mean that one vote was racist or was all of them being racist?

 

[emilseine45]

They said the 2 blacks got expelled but the white didn't by 1 vote difference.

 

[emilseine45]

So you believe that the majority that voted to expel the blacks and the white lady were racist? It was just 1 vote to keep her.

Not in America.

If the white lady only narrowly by 1 vote not get expelled then how is that racist? It was probably racist

Republicans everywhere are getting to the point where they don't want any sort of debate or rebuke on their often indefensible actions. The motivation is less important than the result of using the machinery of state to overrule the voters.

 

[emilseine45]

If it was about race how come they all but 1 voted for the white lady to be expelled too?

 

[emilseine45]

Why won't anyone answer my question? If she only got to stay by 1 vote then how is it racist that the other black guys didn't get to stay? Was or are they saying that 1 vote was racist?

The White bitch argued that all she did was walk up front with the Negro assholes. She never used the bullhorn or said anything.

She kept her seat by one vote of having a 2/3rds majority necessary for dismissal.

Former State Representatives Justin Jones and Justin Pearson lost their House seats on Thursday after an hours-long deliberation by the House members. Rep. Gloria Johnson narrowly avoided expulsion as one vote preserved her position in the state legislature. If it was just 1 vote then why is it racist that the majority of them voted to oust everbody?

Does she mean that 1 vote was racist?

 

[emilseine45]

Are you all listening to what I'm saying? Please explain to me if she meant that she got to stay by 1 vote that the 1 vote was racist?

 

[emilseine45]

Can someone explain it to me like a 5 year old child? I am so baffled.

Expelling insurrectionists isn't an attack on democracy. It's the opposite of that.
