Time for this jive to stop!

Schvatzas must know that all their racist talk is making things much worse for themselves in white enclaves that I am a part of.

Martin Luther King was Republican, and not for nothing.

Lionizing losers like John Lewis, Cynthia McKinney, and the entire Schvatza Caucus does a great disservice to their cause and America.

Trump’s difficult history with African Americans

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Trump get more of the black vote than any Republican since Reagan?

In '65 the blacks in south central LA couldn't get along with the jews and burned down many of their stores/shops. In '92 LA, the biggest riots in modern American history, the blacks didn't get along with the Asians and went in and burned their stores and shops until the Asians started shooting back.

Some blacks it seems have issues getting along with lots of different people out here, not just white folk.

This is nothing but a neatly packaged but nevertheless BALD-FACED LIE.

It illustrates to me that Lewis is an empty shell. He’s been resting on the laurels of having allegedly been beaten up by democrats on a bridge during a march. Maybe that happened, maybe not. I don’t know.

But I do know that he hasn’t moved on or done anything to improve things among the people whom he represents. Not just his constituency, but black people in general who he should be working to help with a hand up. He prefers the status quo, giving a hand out to buy votes.

The road on which he built his street cred has long ago crumbled and is gone.

He has employed more black Americans than any political figure in history. Some people apparently think that’s racist.

Americans gave US Blacks a country to go to that few seem to mention. Not sure what Liberia’s immigration policies are but whiners should research it.

https://www.britannica.com/place/Liberia

Liberia is the only black state in Africa never subjected to colonial rule and is Africa’s oldest republic. It was established on land acquired for freed U.S. slaves by the American Colonization Society, which founded a colony at Cape Mesurado in 1821. In 1824 the territory was named Liberia, and its main settlement was named Monrovia, which is the present-day capital. Liberian independence was proclaimed in 1847, and its boundaries were expanded. The country enjoyed relative stability (a questionable statement) until a rebellion in 1989 escalated into a destructive civil war in the 1990s that did not fully cease until 2003. The country’s first post-conflict elections, held in 2005, were noteworthy for the election of Ellen Johnson Sirleaf to the presidency, as she was the first woman to be elected head of state in Africa

I’m tired of people treating blacks and other minorities as delicate hot house flowers who are so fragile that they can’t survive hearing any sort of criticism whatsoever, no matter how well deserved.

I want to scream! It isn’t Trump who is the racist. Lewis refused to attend GWB’s inaguaration. I can’t wait for Friday noon.

40 Comments in on the WA PO Site and NOT ONE pro Lewis, pro Obama or pro WA PO Comment.

The WAPO should pull the comment section on their paper lest everyone see what the general public thinks of their FAKENEWS

I never heard of him until he lied about tea party people calling him racist names. Andrew Breightbart had a $100,000 reward for video. He never paid out.

John Lewis is a race baiting punk.

Lewis isn't a Halfrikin Amerikin, he's just another ancient, overfed Communist. He has lived the rich delights of being a corrupt, Democrat elitist--and looks it. His achievement in life was belonging to a violent, anti-white organization in the 1960s. By the way, during MLK's life, the leaders of SNCC spoke nothing but contempt for him and his (competing) organization. They were all Soviet agents of influence anyway.

Lewis is way past his expire date, and bless his over-stressed heart, he has picked the wrong guy to mess with.

It's a Yiddish word spelled with Hebrew letters. I spell it the way I hear it.
