Ibram X. Kendi: Term ‘Legal Vote’ Is Functionally Racist
Breitbart ^ | 11/12/20 | Thomas D. Williams

Posted on 11/13/2020 2:23:42 PM PST by Roman_War_Criminal

Critical race theorist Ibram X. Kendi declared this week that the expression “legal vote” used to describe votes cast in conformity with U.S. laws is “functionally racist.”

“The term ‘legal vote’ is as fictionally fraught and functionally racist as the terms ‘illegal alien’ and ‘race neutral’ and ‘welfare queen’ and ‘handouts’ and ‘super predator’ and ‘crackbaby’ and ‘personal responsibility’ and ‘post racial,’” Kendi wrote on Twitter.

When Kendi added in a follow-up tweet, “There are so many more terms like this. What did I leave out?” his woke followers jumped on the bandwagon, insisting that any terms questioning the Left’s pet programs are necessarily racist.

According to one eager follower, other racist expressions would include “deadbeat dads,” “death taxes,” “big government,” “socialism,” “radical left,” “gay agenda,” “ivory tower,” “elites,” “looting,” “broken windows,” “pro-abortion,” “anti-religion,” “unwashed poor,” “anti-American,” “open borders,” “anti-police,” and “anchor baby.”

He forgot “Work Boots”, and “Father’s Day.” Those terms would be racist also.

Critical race theorist Ibram X. Kendi declared this week that ... is “functionally racist.”

Is the term "One trick pony" functionally racist? I know parrots with a wider range of expression than Dr. Kendi.

He is actually the racist for suggesting that people of color are too stupid to know how to vote legally. He should be ashamed of himself

This guy, Ibram X, is the poster boy for the “racist accuser league!” He also looks like he has crapped himself and hopes that his purple pants are not showing the mess.
He is a functional racist and should be outed as a hypocrite.

WHY does the ballot have to be secret?


Originally it wasn’t. Votes were counted by men moving to one corner or the other of the hall/bar/church/open field where the vote was tallied. Both sides were free to count the others numbers. It also helped candidates know that the men who had drunk their free whisky actually voted for them.

Later ballot boxes had glass sides. Different parties used different colored ballots, so everyone knew which party you voted for. I assume that you could split your vote on say a white ballot.

The secret ballot was a reform that came from Australia at the beginning of the twentieth century. It was called a reform to eliminate the buying and selling of votes. One reason liquor stores/bars were and maybe still are closed during voting hours is to eliminate the alcohol bribe.

The net effect of all this “You are all racist!” invective, is more and more white people have stopped caring about what names we are called.

Anti-Critical race theorist gw-ington declared this week that the expression "critical race theory" is "functionally asinine." And the so-called "theory" is not even "critical" because nobody gives a crap about it. Many people agree.

In any given Presidential election year, literally everything is "functionally racist":

Equation: One critical race theorist (with an IQ of 2) + a second critical race theorist (with an IQ of 2) = Two critical race theorists (with a combined IQ of 0).
