    Whoda thunk it? White supremacists integrating before liberal elites?


    A none too politically correct friend of mine once said that back in the day Nichelle Nichols set the KKK back 50 years. Amazing what beautiful, intelligent black ladies can do, huh?

        Demonstrably she is a liar. In both the Fox interview and your original link she lies about the race of the police officers. In your original RT link her twitter post claimed there were no white officers. In the Fox interview she has changed her lie to say there was only 1 white officer. I see at least two white police officers in the video which shows only a small portion of the area.

        Your understand of racism is kindergarten level if you think I would shirk from calling her a liar just because she's black. Get a clue. Racism is not about never critiquing black people under any circumstances. That's such a naive and silly understanding of what racism is and why liberals are concerned about it, that I'm surprised at you. Guess I shouldn't be.

        I think people protesting her for her harmful ideas is fine in the general sense - it's the first amendment in action. Obviously there is a line somewhere about decorum and about what a reasonable protest is and isn't and what times and places it is reasonable to protest and what crosses the line into stalking/harassment. I think such a line exists and it's plausible these protesters crossed that line... I don't personally care enough about whether they did or didn't to discuss it further.

        she absolutely says they called her a white supremacist -- it's at 1:50 in the video.
        It appears she does say that. Again that appears to have changed from the earlier account on RT that said the protesters were saying 'down with white supremacy'. She doesn't appear to be very truthful. Unfortunately that's what I've come to expect from US right-wingers in general. Love of truth does not appear to be valued by them in my observation.

        This refers to claims of sexual harassment. The data shows women are overwhelmingly truthful about such claims (>90% of such claims are true). But our culture has a tendency to treat such claims as if they were very unlikely to be true (say ~10%), and demand overwhelming evidence from multiple witnesses before action is taken.

        So as a culture we need to reevaluate how we approach allegations of sexual harassment because our current approaches tend to involve empirically false beliefs about how likely a woman is to make a false allegation about sexual harassment.

        The idea #Believewomen does not refer to the idea or claim that women in general are always truthful about everything... that would be a dumb and obviously wrong claim. We have to be guided by the evidence in all things.

          Bush got 35% of the Hispanic vote in 2000, 40% in 2004, McCain got 31% of the Hispanic vote in 2008, Romney 27% in 2012, and Trump 28% in 2016.

          So, no, Trump's Hispanic support is not huge for a Republican. It's among the lowest Republicans have had in the last 20 years.

            Statistically speaking McCain, Romney and Trump pretty much tied. And considering the Romney family ties with Mexico and McCain being from a border state while Trump is subject to a never-ending string of accusations that he hates Hispanics (false claims that he called them animals and the like), that is pretty darn remarkable.

                      Candace Owens seems to have been caught in a pretty major lie yesterday.

                      In an appearance on Fox News, Candace Owens claimed that prior to the Obama presidency she had experienced no racial issues in her life. She blamed the rise of racism in the country on Obama. "I do not remember when I was growing up, having all these race issues, OK. I really don’t remember it."

                      Except...

                      ...in her youth, prior to Obama being President, she was the subject of repeated racist bullying, and ended up taking 6 weeks off school because of it and then personally sued her school board for failing to prevent it (and won $37k). The lawsuit in which she was supported by the NAACP is well documented, including photos.

                      Guess she blanked it out of her memory? Maybe she's got total memory loss of her childhood, and that's why she doesn't remember racism in her childhood before Obama? (Although she's talked about the incident as recently as 2016) I'd sure remember an incident so bad I had to take 6 weeks off school and win a court case over it! Or... maybe she's just a liar, who's doing the "I'm a conservative pundit" grift to make money, and is perfectly aware that what she's saying is lies.

                        Candace is obviously a grifter and a fake conservative like her pal Charlie Kirk.
