Apparently giving the smaller states an equal voice in a branch of government is racist because many of those smaller states are predominately white.
I guess using the same logic giving blacks an equal voice in government is racist.

Checks and balances to the untrammeled power of the federal government are racist.

I think this surprises none of us.   ;/

Of course the Senate is racist. Robert Byrd was a member for what, 40 some years with nary a word from his side about his Kleagle affiliation.

It has gotten so bad that even the Racists are being accused of being Racist.

The country is structurally racist due to over 60% of the country being white.

It's even worse if you include white Hispanics.
For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse. Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

They should be thrilled to get it down to 60%, that's huge compared to 70 years ago.

gods but I pine for the 50's.  The ethnonationalists were right.

My late wife was classified as Hispanic by the Yoo Ess gummint, and she hated it. She was of the opinion that "Hispanic" described a person from Spain, and she had never been to or in Spain. So she was white, and [South] American.

End of discussion.

My Mexican American brother in law is mostly Spanish and Portuguese according to one of those testing sites.  

He was in the Marines, owned his own small business and has been in two different very powerful unions over the years.

He knows the score and is pretty right wing, not like me though  :lol:

"They want free stuff" and to "Get paid for doing nothing" is his explanation as to why so many non-whites vote Democrat.

Probably the same reason a lot of whites vote for the Democrats.

Marxism/socialism is a cultural disease.

Trump won in 2016. Democrats haven't been so offended since Republicans came along and freed their slaves.
