Dems: 'If America Isn't Racist, How Do You Explain These White Hoods We're Wearing?'
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
WASHINGTON, D.C.—After Senator Tim Scott said America is no longer a racist country, Democrats scrambled to prove him wrong. They quickly devastated his argument by going into storage and dusting off their old KKK hoods, which they then donned to show him just how racist America actually is.
"If America isn't racist, would we be wearing these? Checkmate!" said Nancy Pelosi triumphantly as she solemnly put on the white hood. "Your move, Republicans."
Chuck Schumer also put on a hood, having borrowed it from the Museum of Democratic History in D.C.
"My colleague is right -- if we weren't racist as Senator Tim Scott suggested, why would we put on these white hoods with no political repercussions whatsoever? It's clear as day: America is racist." Schumer went on to propose reenacting Jim Crow laws in order to dunk on Senator Scott and prove his argument "completely without merit."
"Senator Scott is truly an 'Uncle Tim' after all."
"Furthermore, we will begin instituting separate but equal Senate chambers for senators of color. Just to show them how racist America still is." Reporters applauded Schumer for his bold move toward equality by saying and doing really racist things to show that America is still racist.
Pelosi and Schumer assured everyone they were wearing a smug look of being proven right on their faces, though you couldn't tell. Because of the hoods.

The Babylon Bee has the story again - it's that systemic racism!
Trump and his supporters are off topic.
I am off topic.

They nailed it big time with that satire that mimics reality.
The reality is beyond belief - that the left launched a racist attack on a Black US Senator who dared take on their lies.
Tom Scott?
Casual leftist racism.
They better bee careful, the actual conservative KKK members who are all likely staunch conservative Republicans might find the use of their hoods being cut and pasted on Nancy Pelosi offensive.
The KKK is a democrat party creation.
The personal attacks against Senator Tim Scott were despicable
" A Ku Klux Klan newspaper has declared support for Donald Trump’s Republican run for U.S. president, saying America became great because it was a white, Christian republic."
"Former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke is running for U.S. Senate and tells NPR that he believes he'll be getting the votes of Donald Trump supporters. And he reiterated his own support for Trump, saying he's "100 percent behind" the Republican presidential candidate's agenda.
Duke criticized the Republicans who have recently declared that they don't support Trump. "I think that those Republicans, or those so-called conservatives, they are betraying the principles of the Republican Party and certainly conservatism," Duke said.
No matter how much you try to hide it or deny it, todays Republican party is the party that white supremacists, KKK members and neo-Nazi's flock to and are welcomed with open arms. You can stick your head in the sand or use 150 year old excuses that are full of holes but the facts remain, the conservative Democrat party, Southern Democrats or Dixiecrats do not share one iota of ideology or agenda with the modern Democrat party, the only thing they share are 7 letters that have been used by dozens and dozens of different political parties, even the original party founded by Thomas Jefferson and James Maddison in 1790 which was the Democratic-Republican Party. Trying to simply throw the word out there as if it means anything shows how utterly impotent and ignorant your attempted defense of the current KKK members supporting Republicans really is.
And Richard Spencer and David Duke endorsed Democrats in 2020.
It didn't work with Sen Scott and it doesn't work with the American people. We all know how much the left hates Black Americans who don't follow the party line. A racist attack will be called out for what it is.
No one is attacking Scott. They are calling out all of his lies and projection.
Personally I don't try stuff like this, IT always backfires on me.
One major problem with the article - it's not funny. Not a good look when the article comes from a so called humor site.
From where your sitting John, I imagine it wouldn't be. The fact is that the left spewed a racist rant against this courageous man.
The only way the seeded article is humorous is if you believe the nonsense that the Democrats are the real racist party because they started the Ku Klux Klan 150 years ago. Otherwise the bit about Pelosi and Harris putting on white hoods makes no sense.
Sorry, the "satire" attempted here is very weak.
The Dems are the original party of slavery, segregation, and any residual racism in the US.
Now they use this inherent racism today to intimidate and silence any Black person who dares to question the orthodoxy of TPTB
Let's play this game again, Greg. Were the klan conservative or progressive? I'm not asking about parties. I'm asking about their ideology.
If one ignores the last 100 years or so, which apparently you intend to keep doing.
Progressive.
Just look at the 1924 Democratic Klanbake convention, the Klan's candidate was the progressive Democrat Robert McAdoo.
One need only look at the last 72 hours to know Democrats are still the party of racism. But by all means, tell us how whites calling a black Senator an Uncle Tom isn't racist.
Although they were the party that started the Klan and they were the party that filibustered the Civil Rights Act, that wasn't the point at all. Calling Sen Tim Scott n "Uncle Tim" is racist. John, you can't recognize real racism anymore?
Not only was Scott's brief rebuttal the speech that everyone will remember, he actually got our POS vp to admit, at long last, that the US is not a racist country.
You can't be fucking serious. You really think the klan was progressive? So you know nothing factual about history or politics. Good to know.
No, it doesn't. Yet some see it as hilarious. They couldn't tell you, I'm sure, what makes it so hilarious.
It's all sheer projection anyway.
Aww. Did someone read Howard Zinn and fancy himself a student of history. I notice you didn't even address Klan's support for the progressive democrat in '24. Good move on your part.
Open an actual history book. Anyone with a slight acquaintance with the progressive movement understands it's ties to racism. It's truly amazing how little modern liberals understand about the racist roots of the progressive movement. Progressive EA Ross championed the race suicide thesis that inspired the progressive academia of the time. But Woodrow Wilson is a nice simple subject to get your feet wet. Why don't you read up on him and then come back and tell us all how America's first progressive democratic President was really a "conservative"
Are you speaking of 1924? You all do live in the past.
Everything Tom Scott said in rebuttal to President Biden was made up nonsense and lies and projection.
Sean,
The same could be said about Lincoln. He might have wanted the slaves free, but he didn't want a country of free blacks. He even advocated for sending them back to Africa. He also felt that they had sub-normal intelligence. Is that not racist? As I recall, he was a republican.
We can all cherry-pick our facts from the past, but the thing is, we are judging these people in the present, not how they were viewed in their times.
That's when the Klan was influential. How'd you miss that?
You really need to take them off.
Southerners obstructed the Civil Rights Act, not Democrats. Buy a clue somewhere Vic.
Guess how many southern Republicans in Congress voted for the 1964 CRA . How does ZERO grab you ?
Like I said, some folks prefer to live in the past.
I prefer to live in the present, in reality. Did you know that truth (and reality) have a liberal bias?
Sean, Gateway Pundit is a top ten conservative and Republican news site. Trump even made made a GP "reporter" a member of the White House press corp for a while. Last week, after the Floyd verdict, the comment section on GP about the Floyd verdict was filled with dozens and dozens, if not hundreds, of blatantly racist anti-black comments.
Spare us your bs about who the real racists are before I really get pissed off.
That's my point Perrie. You have people saying "I think conservatives are racist. Therefore the KKK was conservative." It's that simplistic and ahistorical of an argument.
you didn't have to go to Gateway Pundit to see racist posts. It was happening here.
Do you think it's racist to call a black senator an Uncle Tom?
I think we need to treat this almost like a recovery program.
At present, as we see here, we can't even get enough people to admit there was ever a problem and if/when they do they claim it's all been fixed.
Some of them were.
In 1964 there was still such a thing as moderate or even liberal Republicans. That explains the strong northern yes vote for the bill by Republicans. Even so , the yes vote by northern Democrats was stronger.
No one is twisting anything. You are the one who has to account for your inability to understand politics, not me. There were very few if any conservatives who voted for the Civil Rights Act in 1964, Democrat or Republican. Today there are very few conservative Democrats and very few if any liberal Republicans.
You can keep pretending that you discovered something important about the Civil Rights Act, but I dont think you understand.
The vote on the 1964 Civil Rights Act hinged on geography, not political party. If you dont understand that there is no point in discussing it.
There were 11 southern Republicans in Congress in 1964. All 11 of them voted no on the Civil Rights Act.
No need to address your smug condescension. While he was the Democratic nominee, he beat out former President Theodore Roosevelt. You know, the guy that formed the Progressive Party. Wilson's racism and support of segregation were well documented. So I fail to see how you can label him a progressive.
More causal leftist racism.
That's comedy right there. Here's a hint. Racism and segregation went hand in hand with the progressive movement.
That Wilson was a progressive is basic level American history. Here's the literal first line of his bio on The White House site: Woodrow Wilson, a leader of the Progressive Movement, was the 28th President of the United States. There can be no better indicator of your ignorance of the topic than to try and claim Wilson, one of the most famous progressives in American history, wasn't a progressive. It's like arguing Calvin Coolidge was a socialist.
It sure is. I notice that despite these almost daily racist attacks from a die hard democratic apologist, loony leftists here still bizarrely claim that racists are all republicans. They also can't be bothered to stand up and try and criticize the racist attacks that happen right here on the site. Everyone should remember these slurs.
After reading Shelby Steele's excellent Dec. 18 essay " American Conservatism: Of Race and Imagination " we felt compelled to respond to the popular misconception that "conservatism, for all its commitment to freedom, did not make itself the principled enemy of racism during the civil-rights era." With a little research, the actual voting record for both Houses of Congress shows that the Civil Rights Act of 1964 passed the Senate on a 73-to-27 vote. The Democratic supermajority in the Senate split their vote 46 (69%) for and 21 (31%) against. The Republicans, on the other hand, split their vote 27 for (82%) and 6 against (18%). Thus, the no vote consisted of 78% Democrats. Further, the infamous 74-day filibuster was led by the Southern Democrats, who overwhelmingly voted against the act.
An examination of the House vote shows a similar pattern. The House voted 290 to 130 in favor. Democrats split their vote 152 (61%) to 96 (39%) while Republicans split theirs 138 (80%) to 34 (20%). The no vote consisted of 74% Democrats. Clearly, the 1964 Civil Rights Act could not have been passed without the leadership of Republicans such as Everett Dirksen and the votes of Republicans. As the online Wall Street Journal so aptly subtitled Mr. Steele's article, "Trent Lott jeopardizes the very productive ideas his party stands for."
Babylon stings like a bee.
No. Not at all.
