No surprise. Democrats have always been the party of race and in the last 40 years, haters of American as founded as it morphs into the New Communist Party.

Bear witness to something you'll never see deplorables do: call out one of their own for racism / prejudice.
I'll just leave this here.

Well, he is pretty up there these days. Methuselah and shit.
I was thinking that the other day: does that sonuvabitch ever age? I always thought of him as a contemporary (and enemy) of Malcolm X. Malcolm was killed 54 years ago.

I said "deplorables".
You're apparently better with pictures than words.
You wrote in another thread that anyone that voted for Trump is a deplorable...just saying.

His skin is like wax, no wrinkles in sight.
Yes, I've heard about the theory of his involvement in Malcolm's murder, conspiring along with Elijah M.
Denzel played the hell out of that role in the film, Malcolm X.

There is nothing offensive about this
Bills must stop deportations for minor offenses
BY RASHIDA TLAIB
-GUEST COLUMNIST- | LAST UPDATED: OCT 4, 2006 - 2:20:00 PM
Lost in the often-vitriolic national quarrel over immigration reform is any examination of proposed measures that would result in excessive punishment, such as detention and deportation, for the most minor offenses. Concern for “national security” has introduced unprecedented insecurity to living in the United States as a legal permanent resident. When a legal immigrant can be deported for the most minor offenses, like omitting information on a form that at the time seemed irrelevant, or forgetting to change one’s address, can all be used as a basis to be uprooted from your home and taken away from your family and children.
It’s easy to forget that detention and deportation have real and long-lasting effects on families. We are not able to see such negative effects right away, or immigrants fear speaking out. I’ve heard the helplessness and desperate voices of fathers and mothers who try to understand why their loved ones are being criminalized so harshly. This past spring, one woman pleaded, “My husband is not a murderer; he didn’t hurt anyone, so why are they taking him away from us?” Her name is Manal Kawas, a legal permanent resident living in New York and the mother of three. Her family of five is being torn apart for something you and I may have done with good intention. The family came to the United States from Jordan when the first Iraq War erupted and decided to remain in the U.S. rather than return to a war-stricken region. After years of living and raising a family in New York, Manal’s husband was picked up for questioning on an unrelated matter, and was then placed in deportation proceedings for simply putting his name on the title form of a car that didn’t belong to him, but to a friend who needed his help. He did not know the act was illegal or that it would be the reason for the United States to tear him away from his family and the country he had known for almost 15 years. His wife is dumbfounded and devastated as she is left with no source of income or emotional support. She’s living with depression now and continues to plead to the U.S. immigration courts that her husband is a good man, but she’s ignored just like many who are going through the same ordeal.
Many immigration lawyers working on these types of cases have accused the government of intentionally targeting legal permanent residents from the Middle East. After 9/11, fear between Arab and Muslim communities rose and remain widespread, as repressive policies seem to target particular nationalities. Many Latino advocates have also expressed concern that arbitrary punishment for minor offenses would lead to massive deportations, like the incident that took place in a residential street in Southwest Detroit in May 2006, when more than a dozen immigrants were dragged from their homes and deported immediately. Immigration Customs and Enforcement (ICE) officials stated that this was part of a national operation to apprehend immigrants that committed violent crimes. However, reports from community members verified that ICE began knocking on neighboring homes one by one and took several people into custody without just cause. These enforcement practices are expanded in the proposals of both the House and the Senate under the infamous Title II section of their immigration bills. These arbitrary provisions have been inconspicuously inserted with no serious discussion of the implications and their legality under the U.S. Constitution.
There is no mention of these dangerous provisions in the debate. Over and over again, we hear about border security, legalization and national security, but there is no reference to maintaining our tradition and American values of keeping families together, providing a safe haven for the needy and advancing humanity.Where is the spirit of justice, equality and fairness in the debate on immigration? By supporting a security-only approach, we permit the targeting of whole races and nationalities. We allow the arbitrary deportation of immigrants with no concrete or just reason. We weaken the core values that make us a strong and proud country. It is so clear that the conservatives in Congress will only settle for a bill that allows the unequal treatment of immigrants, allow them to be shoved around the system with no way to plead their case for relief. Many civil and human rights advocates are calling this cruel and unusual punishment. As we enter another stage in the immigration debate, it is important that Congress leaders address the lack of due process safeguards and the lack of protections for families and their rights. If we continue to ignore the perils posed by these hidden provisions in the House and Senate immigration bills, we are simply mocking the principles that our country was founded on.

In fact, given it was written in 2006 her closing "If we continue to ignore the perils posed by these hidden provisions in the House and Senate immigration bills, we are simply mocking the principles that our country was founded on." was prophetic. It is unsurprising she is a Member of Congress.

A little trickier since professional Farrakhan-hater Miles passed away last year, but the word "Farrakhan" still makes a certain demographic here foam at the mouth.

It's a Final Call publication. Louis X started it, and he's basically a monster.
To quote Wiki: "The newspaper has been called anti-White, homophobic and antisemitic by the Southern Poverty Law Center and the Anti-Defamation League." (Basically, everything he's proven himself to be, time and time again.)
So, I don't really care about the content. Farrakhan is a piece of shit, and anyone who would willingly submit to that very specific publication is tremendously circumspect, especially in the context of her other affiliations.

I'm honestly not sure. A zero-post obvious alt sent me a link via private message last July, claiming Miles had shit the bed one last time and here was his obituary. The link was to a man with an obviously Jewish name, the age was about where I'd thought Miles would be, and the place of death matched where I knew Miles lived.
Normally I'd have made a thread celebrating Miles' timely demise, but I've been catfished here before so I wanted to see if any of Miles' purported friends would lament his passing. They haven't said a thing, so he might be alive, or perhaps like Koalabear nobody really gave a shit about him and no one noticed.
