Democratic Rep. John Lewis said Thursday he sometimes feels like "taking a bullwhip" to people in order to make them care about civil rights.
"It doesnt matter whether they're black, or white, Latino, Asian-American or Native American. When you see something thats not right, not fair, not just, you have an obligation to do something, to say something. Theyre just too darn quiet. I really wanna use some other words sometimes," Lewis told the audience of the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation Town Hall on Civil Rights in Washington, D.C.

Isn’t the bullwhip analogy too triggering, too mindful of the days of slavery??? A black man is saying these things???
And aren’t liberals supposed to be peace loving radicals??? Love trumps hate and all that???? Where is the love and peace in a violent act such as whipping people, John Lewis?>?
To: Zakeet
He’d have trouble getting the whip past those lips.

This says it all. This is exactly what’s wrong with the totalitarian left in a nutshell. Out of the mouth of one of the biggest dopes in all of politics.

The Congressional Black Caucus is a racist group.
He was probably demanding that they disband.

But if I wanted to bullwhip him for being an idiot, it would be racist.

Random aside: is that a recent picture? His face seems swollen / distended from what I recall.

I watched part of that today. I kept thinking it’s been 150 years since slavery ended yet you still choose to dwell on that instead of real issues. I’m tired of the whining. Look at Cubans.

I admit that I’m not a great student of history, but I do not recall the Irish, Italians, Germans, Chinese, Japanese, etc., go out and riot when their ethnic groups were discriminated against. But maybe I missed the historical mentions?

Is this the same John Lewis who owns a very expensive town house in D.C. and pays his taxes on it when he feels like it?
How does this guy have a $1 Million Dollar home there?
