Yes we don't need to be concerned with what the trumplicult whines about…..they will always find something to whine about…..no matter what we do or say…..

Now that people are waking up to the fact that blacks are already way over represented since they only represent 14% of the population the argument switches back to the old "Uncle Tom" narrative. Predicable and transparent. Yawn.

Yes Republicans (Representatives) are getting bolder, Much Bolder – They found out that they can say the "N" word three times in the mirror & nothing happens ! – Come get me .. "N" Word !

Representative policies should be considered much more important than representative skin color.

Exactly why I don't see benifit in the CBC or a Black woman on the Supreme Court!

The election of Barack Obama was when the true ugliness of the GOP came out. Their hatred for a person of color holding the highest office in our nation was too much. It forced them to question their assumed superiority. It infuriated them.
The GOP was always polluted with racists….and in walked a two-bit con artist named Donald J Trump, who gave rise to their hatred.

Obama nailed bin Laden.
Biden nailed Abu Ibrahim.
Trump nailed Stormy Daniels.

They're lying to themselves. As soon as all those Black Politicians, Judges, etc, start getting replaced by white folks, this "people shouldn't be chosen because of skin color" shtick will be dropped faster than a book on CRT.

Unless that president is an all American black Republican then they don't represent anyone but "white sup-". Because nothing says "white sup-" than a American Justice Clarence Thomas, who just happens to be a black man. Because white Democrats writing Hollywood scripts attacking that black justice on tv shows including black child sitcom, Smart Guy, isn't "white sup-" that's just proper racism, I mean wokism.

I'd love to see how maga supporters would feel if they were automatically identified as lesser people simply because of some external physical trait.
Oh hold on…that's what those red hats do.
My bad.

Zerlina & the media, Please do a better job at calling-out Republicans who attack black candidates for public office, as "unqualified?" EG: COMPARE & contrast Marjorie Q-Anon Greene's, Louie Gomert's or Ted Cruz's professional qualifications to nominees being slandered?

As Obama and Hillary have said, "it's the voters faults and not politicians."

Talk about the new Johns Hopkins study regarding the ineffectiveness of lockdowns, or does that just not fit the narrative?

Just think…if Obama wasn't such a disaster….we wouldn't have voted for Trump 🤣 Obama put a man in the ladies room. And married one also!

Why are not the white people in the institution shes in to stand up and tell her qualifications? MTG and Susan Collins don't belong in the government because of their lack of qualifications so f them. I wonder what white folk would think if we had militant black folk out making changes and not waiting for the white folk sign of approval. Keep up the work Zerlina …saving our nation one segment at a time…

It's odd when people complain about Affirmative Action yet are silent when it comes to the benefits they acquired through red-lining, land grabs, the legacy programs at colleges, etc…

She's right, Black politicians just get rich and famous and forget that the majority of them are in inescapable poverty but their "representatives" move to corporations.

It's disgusting to watch what they're saying about the potential nominee, beyond hypocritical beyond excegrable.

Think about this – 800,000 American citizens living in the District of Columbia which is 45% black and another 10% other people of color have NO representation in Congress. Talk about lack of representation. It is long past time to correct this injustice. NO TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION.

if representation matters, how do people feel about black republicans? Virginia first black lt woman governor got 0 air time on the people who talk about representation all the time. The first black scotus female is great because the list are qualified women.
