What’s the matter with “colored” woman? The Left uses it all the time - BIPOC - Black, Indigenous, People-Of-Color. I think you are oversensitive.

no one is above the law said liberals!

and anyone who reports a value on their home different from tax appraised value is guilty of fraud and should pay $500,000,000

that’s the rules liberals wanted to play by!

--- "Correct. It is 'person of color '.”

A fascinating thread, to date. 1) Lisa Cook having two "primary residences" attested to by her own signatures on documents. 2) Discussion about words, race related.

To the former, that will be adjudicated in court. It should be fun to watch.

To the later, we all have in memory, one hopes, the following, attesting to the demonstrable fact that the political Left uses race terms as they will. Remember:

Obama the ‘Magic Negro’ Los Angeles Times, 19 March 2007
Free Republic had some threads about that, one being:
Liberal Calls Obama "Magic Negro" Free Republic thread: Rush Limbaugh Show ^ | 3/19/07 | Rush Limbaugh Posted on 3/21/2007, 3:26:16 PM by Winged Hussar
Thereafter some discussion of the word is found, until "memory hole."
Magical Negro Wiki

Obama And Film's 'Magic Negroes' NPR, January 19, 2009

A "person of color" is a phrase which correctly describes me. And you, it is certain. Unless there are those who are "persons without color."

I'll tag along with 'Mither' Limbaugh and have a laugh at so many language tempests in so many English-language teapots.

It’s my favorite term because it makes all of us even.

Sir, I take exception with that, My wife -- lo, these many decades -- has said and continues to say I am "odd."

government sanctioned “free speech” never takes into account the overarching reality of Free Speech...” True Free Speech doesn’t CARE about anybody’s feelings”. Why people can’t accept the simplest realities of basic human rights is far beyond me to understand.

Interesting how you use the term “jim crow” as a derogatory but the term “colored” you find offensive. IF you were to be consistent wouldn’t both be offensive to you? The fact you don’t speaks VOLUMES about your personal agenda. Or is that Vendetta? We will decide.

"Cause" could be inefficiency, neglect of duty, or malfeasance in office; but mortgage fraud would not seem directly related to the office, or the terms and conditions of employment.

Well...

It is an unseemly look that a person involved in setting the interest rates for the rest of us is cheating the system to get favorable interest rates for herself. That would be an example of "malfeasance," right there - wrongdoing by a public official.

My question is: if there are two separate legally executed mortgages that both declare the property to be the primary residence of the same person, isn't that prima facie evidence right there? Does President Trump have to wait for a trial and conviction to fire her, or does the evidence stand on its own and he can fire her for "malfeasance?"

What explanation can she put forth that a reasonable person would accept? She can't say that she didn't know it was wrong because she's a Governor at the Fed -- using that excuse would be grounds for dismissal as incompetent for the job. She might say that she forgot about the first loan, but ignorance is no defense.

Jim Crow is a term used to describe a system of racial segregation that used such as poll taxes, miscegenation laws, etc.

“Colored” is a term almost always used to refer to black Americans in a pejorative way.

“What’s the matter with “colored” woman? The Left uses it all the time - BIPOC - Black, Indigenous, People-Of-Color. I think you are oversensitive.”

So do you think that the poster and others who used it in this thread were using it as an adjective of endearment?

It's more complicated than that. Which those who see only a "black and white" nuance to things happily ignore....

but ignorance is no defense.

Which is why there are so many defenseless people on this planet.
