Link only as you probably know this story from January.

The trio in Virginia need to live by the same PC standards that the Dems and press impose on the rest of the country.

The Richmond Trio need to resign NOW!

I'll only consider ceasing the application of "the rules" to the Democrats when they stop applying them to everyone else. The press has been in cahoots. The Dems and the press have been libeling the US as a racist and misogynist country and falsely accusing their enemies of it for decades.

Let’s cease applying their rule to ANYBODY. There’s nothing wrong with blackface unless it was used as part of a scheme to cast aspersions on blacks. None of these people were intending anything racist. It’s time somebody stood up and defended the obvious truth that the politicos so fear to utter.

Ole Robert Byrd of the Dems of yesteryear would snort in derision at these virtue signalling wusses. Are they now going to take his name off the dozen or so buildings and highways to show how noble we all are now?

I’ve been asking all over the net, what is so terrible about wearing a black face. I’ve yet to get an answer. I also ask about wearing a white face. Is that a crime too? Again no answer.

“Let’s”

Tell that to the press and the dems.

Until they stop, same rules for everybody.

Whoopi adored and laughed when Ted Danson was in blackface. Right in front of her.

Hey in the 60s I dressed as. “The Frito Bandito “ for a Halloween party. So now my life must be ruined because of it.

I get that the rat party is working hard to minimize the damage. They have burned republicans on this topic in the past.

This is now war with the rats.

Republicans must not faulter. Stand tall and make these rats resign.

As Al Jolson put it....

(SPOKEN) Mammy...
My little Mammy.
The sun shines east— the sun shines west—
I know where— the sun shines best!
It’s on my Mammy I’m talkin’ about, nobody else’s!

(SPOKEN) Mammy— Mammy, I’m comin’—
I’m so sorry that I made you wait!
Mammy— Mammy, I’m comin’!
Oh God, I hope I’m not late!
Look at me, Mammy! Don’t you know me?
I’m your little baby!
(SUNG) I’d walk a million miles
For one of your smiles,
My Mammy!

He was just a little ahead of his time.

This is just IGNORANCE. The RULES have changed since then! You can’t diss people because the RULES changed 50 years later! This is ridiculous.

"Stand tall and make these rats resign."

No thank you. This only legitimizes their position on things. My position is that there is nothing wrong with blackface, the Confederacy, you name it that they have gotten away with using as a crutch to keep the black vote angry and on their liberal plantation. Why fight a war on your opponent's terms? This is how you lose.

Doesn’t everybody remember when Shaft and Superfly were premiering?
The saying then was

Black
Is
Beautiful.

Try that today with Maxine Waters, Rep.Al Green,John Lewis and Whoopi Goldberg. Maybe you could secretly cross your fingers behind your back.

I used to love the old minstrel shows. They involved the whole community, sort of a local talent exhibition. You either performed or bought tickets and went to see your neighbors entertain. Never heard any objections. I guess you’d have to X out all the people in communities where I lived as a kid as “raciss,” including all those with a brown face naturally.
