From the headline alone, I knew which party.
Does discrimination exist in Idaho?
White guy: No
Native woman: Actually, yes.
White guy: loud, angry discrimination
The senator is from Lake Forest, Illinois which somewhat ironically was an abolitionist town with several prominent members of the Underground Railroad living there. It has changed a lot since then and now is a wealthy conservative country club suburb of Chicago with barely 1% of its population being black.
Some abolitionists held their stance on slavery not so much because they believed everyone should be free but because they didn't like minorities being present at all, slaves or not, and thought ending slavery would mean they'd get shipped back to Africa, despite many having no direct connection to Africa closer than they had a direct connection to Europe.
Not all abolitionists thought this way, but it wasn't always in opposition to racism. Hell, segregation lasted into the 1900s and there's still a problem with police racism that isn't being properly addressed to this day, despite the anti-slavery side winning over 150 years ago.
Shit take in the first half ngl
You mean my take that some abolitionists were motivated by hate or the take of the abolitionists that were motivated by hate?
ICE should be 100% run by indigenous people.
Lots of "lawless immigrants and anchor babies" in power that should be deported to Venezuela where they belong. Starting with this guy.
this makes so much sense. let’s start a petition.
Very ignorant of him.
Foreman has a history of angrily confronting people in public, and shouting profanities.
He already said Republican.
Sounds about right.
Like a lot of Republicans, this guy needs therapy. And medication. And anger management training.
And to be removed from a position of power.
I vote for a good kick in the teeth with a pair of steel toed boots.
Can we start at the bottom of your list and work our* way up?
Edit: word
That is how the removal of head from ass works, start at the base and pull outwards.
I like the way you think
Checks yup republican.
I didn’t feel the need to check.
And best of all, it was because she answered the question of, "Did she think discrimination was an issue in the state? "
That wasn't even it. The question was if they thought discrimination existed. Which makes what he did all the more insane.
You have to be very shielded and very ignorant to even ask this question. I'm a white dude in Central Europe and I'm well aware discrimination exists, even when I'm not the target of almost any of it. You gotta be in a coma to not realize it.
It makes more sense when you consider that it's all performative for their base. They're so intellectually and emotionally compromised that they'll act the fool to convince shielded and very ignorant voters that they're "one of them."
Needless to say, I'm not a fan of this.
And the dude said it to a native American whose tribe has been in the region for millennia. He's not even a native to the state.
Yes! The Cooper's Ferry village site in Nez Pearce territory contains the oldest verified evidence of habitation in North America, with dates to 16.5k years ago. There is very likely earlier habitation sites, but they will be difficult to find, and many would have been on the coastline that is now miles out to sea due to sea level rise after the glacial melt.
This buffoon couldn't have chosen a worse group to tell to go back to where they came from... They've been there since the glaciers. What a dense, ignorant and racist waste of space... too bad the constituents think enough like him that they vote this hate into office.
