It was a remarkable moment Monday night at the Republican National Convention, surely creating some amount of confusion among longtime Republicans, when Sean O’Brien, president of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, delivered a stemwinder of a speech in prime time. He called former President Donald Trump a “tough S.O.B.”

Even the teamsters are showing up.

      Did Vox not provide links sources for their claims? I also posted the NYT, maybe they did? Lol. What source will you accept regarding Donald’s racism? (Nothing, of course.)

      And here you post an op ed about one dude’s opinions with no sourced evidence and accept that as gospel.

      Quite frankly, you are brainwashed. Until you are willing to look at your sources critically and check their veracity, you will remain brainwashed.

        Well, as an ally, I listen to black people, and as we cited here, Amber Rose said he was not racist. I will take a black person’s opinion over yours any day.

          You will continue interpret whatever you want to hear as whatever you want to hear, unsurprising.

          If you’d prefer to blindly believe people based on their race, shouldn’t you believe what the majority of black people believe instead of just one? Of course you wouldn’t think so, since they mostly disagree with you.

              Completely brainwashed and now running away that we finally hit a dead end where you need to confront reality to continue writing.

              I’m not speaking for black people, black people are speaking for black people. Feel free to check for what a wider group of black people believe any time you’d like.

              It’s pretty racist to claim one black person (who you want to agree with) is 1. absolutely correct solely on the basis of being black and 2. it is fine for them to speak for all black people.

              So I can just find you whatever article I want on a race issue and you’ll accept it as absolute truth if it is written by a black person? Obviously if I do this for you, you’ll find some excuse why that’s no longer true. No Repub has integrity.

              LMAO but here we go: https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2019/06/trump-racism-comments/588067/ . Adrienne Green has been a member of the National Association for Black Journalists since 2012, check her LinkedIn. Donald is an openly racist bigot confirmed.

              I’m always uncomfortable speaking with openly racist Repubs, but I hope it helps passersby.
