A Republican lawmaker in Michigan lost his committee assignment and staff Monday, days after posting an image of a racist ideology on social media.

House Speaker Joe Tate, a Democrat who is Black, said he will not allow the House to be a forum for “racist, hateful and bigoted speech.”

State Rep. Josh Schriver, who is white, shared a post on X — formerly known as Twitter — that showed a map of the world with Black figures greatly outnumbering white figures, along with the phrase, “The great replacement!”

The conspiracy theory says there’s a plot to diminish the influence of white people.

    What I love about this ‘great replacement’ bullshit is that somehow these people think it’s non-white people’s fault that white people are having fewer children than they are.

      In my case there was some luring with empanadas involved, but it was probably a matter of time since his family likes mayonnaise and cheese wiz so much. Can’t keep a population up with kraft blue box and 7-up alone, y’know what mean?

        I’m just waiting for one of them to tell me that black people invented condoms and birth control pills to trick white people into having fewer kids.

      Do you think maybe it is because state of things is like this gestures vaguely around, largely because of conservative policirs?
