Twitter Lights Up MT Greene For Saying Black People Should Be ‘Proud’ Of Confederate Statues

Proving yet again that she has no real understanding of any issue of importance to the vast majority of Americans, Georgia Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene is now telling black people in the United States that they should be “proud” whenever they see a statue or monument to the Confederacy.

Yes, a North Georgia cracker like MT Greene wants to tell others how to think and feel, and yet she rages like a wounded wild sow when someone suggests that she see things from a different perspective.

In a video she posted on social media, Greene remarks:

“If I were Black people today and I walked by one of those statues I would be so proud because I’d say look how far I have come in this country.”

Yes, by all means let’s keep the statues of men like Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson who were traitors and declared war on the United States in direct violation of the Constitution for one reason: So they could continue to own other human beings and work them until they died without paying them a damn dime for their labor.

Let’s glorify and laud those who thought themselves superior to other human beings simply by the color of their skin. Is that what we want to hold up as what the United States stands for?

Of course, it should come as no surprise to anyone that Greene is cool with the rebels who attacked their own nation and caused a war that killed approximately 620,000 Americans. After all, she was perfectly fine with the domestic terrorists who attacked the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021 and has repeatedly whined about the rioters who remain in prison for their horrific crimes on that terrible day.

It didn’t take long before others on Twitter reminded Marge that she really needs to shut the hell up and stop trying to turn traitors and insurrectionists into heroes.

Trump Once Defended Using The N-Word By Hinting Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Might Have Said It

As the nation celebrates the life of the late civil rights icon Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., some comments made by disgraced, one-term, twice-impeached former president Donald Trump are once again making news and reinforcing what many of us have known for years: Trump is a bigoted asshole.

Think back to 2013. Food Network chef and host Paula Deen was outed after she admitted she had used the N-word as part of a legal deposition. At the time, Deen was also a judge for the Miss USA pageant, which was owned by none other than Donald Trump.

In an attempt to aid Deen, Trump fired off a series of tweets in which he defended her and also engaged in some big time whataboutism. Here’s the tweets:

“Paula Deen made a big mistake in using a forbidden word but must be given some credit fot admitting her mistake. She will be back!”

@ctobin22: @realDonaldTrump any advise for battered Paula dean? Her ship has been sinking ..” She must get back to work & stop apologizing!

@EDM___HEAD: @realDonaldTrump @EdandBev
lyin ass nigga” Why does Paula D get destroyed and you can use the “N” word so freely, asshole?

@dentstwitt: @EDM___HEAD@realDonaldTrump @EdandBev My question is did MLK Jr. use the ‘N’ word? No, only Paula Dean used it!

Of course, Trump’s last tweet is typical of those who claim to not be bigoted or racist in the least, very much like the failed ex-president did 2019 when he remarked:

“I am the least racist person there is anywhere in the world.”

On this day dedicated to the memory of Dr. King and his use of nonviolence to overcome systematic racism in this country, it pays to remember that Donald Trump is a racist piece of shit and the worst president in U.S. history.

Kanye West Tells Alex Jones ‘I Like Hitler…Nazis Did Good Things’

During a Thursday appearance on InfoWars, rapper Kanye West went full Nazi, telling host Alex Jones that he likes Hitler and that the Nazis “did good things.”

Jones tried to give West an opportunity to walk back his previous anti-Semitic comments, remarking:

“That’s right, you’re not Hitler, you’re not a Nazi, you don’t deserve to be called that and demonized.”

But rather than take the chance Jones provided, West doubled down and happily went full Nazi.

Wearing a black mask that covered his entire head and face, West told Jones:

“Well, I see good things about Hitler, also. I love everyone. The Jewish people are not going to tell me, you know, you can love us and you can love what we’re doing to you with the contracts and you can love what we’re pushing with the pornography.”

West continued to laud Hitler and the Nazis.

“But this guy that invented highways and invented the very microphone that I use as a musician. You can’t say out loud that this person never did anything good and I’m done with that, I’m done with the classifications, and every human being has value that they brought to the table, especially Hitler.”

 

Every human being has value? No. Hitler had no value whatsoever. Neither did Josef Stalin or Pol Pot. Anyone who kills others humans and engages in outright genocide is worthless and only brings hatred and pain into the world.

West has also been hanging out with failed, one-term former president Donald Trump lately, paying a visit to the disgraced ex-president at his Mar-a-Lago estate recently. That alone should disqualify the Donald from ever holding elected office again.

Kanye West is a disgusting sack of shit. He deserves to be shunned by all of humanity.

Gloves Off: Karine Jean-Pierre Puts MAGA Racists In Their Place With A Brilliant Comparison

The issue of race and racism has been in the news quite a lot over the past few days, thanks to two major news stories that have garnered lots of attention and commentary from all sides of the political spectrum.

The first story involves Kanye West (who now prefers to be called Ye) but will be referred to by his given name to avoid confusion.

Kanye decided it would be a great idea to make a incredibly insensitive antisemitic comment in which he basically declared war on Jewish people.

Specifically, West posted this on social media, and got his Twitter account suspended as a result:

Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) is also in hot water for saying the following at a Trump rally over the weekend:

“I have never seen like the crime in this country. We all grew up respecting the police. Our moral values. Doing what we could do to help law enforcement in this country. The Democratic party, they have a majority, they could stop this crime today. Some people say, well, they’re soft on crime. No, they’re not soft on crime, they’re pro crime. They want crime. They want crime because they want to take over what you got. They want to control what you have. They want reparations because they think the people that do the crime are owed that. Bulls***. They are not owed that.”

And now we have Nury Martinez, Los Angeles City Council President and and a Democrat, who made horrific comments that are also blatantly racist, The Los Angeles Times reports:

Behind closed doors, Los Angeles City Council President Nury Martinez made openly racist remarks, derided some of her council colleagues and spoke in unusually crass terms about how the city should be carved up politically.

The conversation remained private for nearly a year, until a leaked recording reverberated explosively Sunday and turned the focus of a sprawling metropolis toward Los Angeles City Hall.

Martinez is being pressured to resign her post, but Tuberville is under no such call from his GOP colleagues, which led a reporter to ask White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre at the Tuesday press briefing for her thoughts and those of President Joe Biden on the matter of Nury Martinez, to which she responded:

“Here’s the difference between Democrats and MAGA Republicans. When a Democrat says something racist or antisemitic, we hold Democrats accountable. When a MAGA Republican says something racist or antisemitic, they are embraced by cheering crowds.”

That says it all, and perfectly.

Conservatives Pitch A Massive Online Hissy Fit After Lizzo Plays A Flute Once Owned By James Madison

You may not know this, but singer Lizzo is an accomplished flutist, and was granted an extreme honor this week when the Library of Congress allowed her to play a 200-year-old crystal flute that was once owned by former president James Madison.

CNN reports that Lizzo admitted she was nervous about playing a flute once owned by a Founding Father and former president.

In footage shared by concertgoers, Lizzo excitedly and delicately handled the flute under the careful watch of Library staff and Capitol Police. She briefly shared the history of the flute with her audience and said she was “the first person to ever play it.”

“B***h, I’m scared,” she said to the audience’s laughter. “It’s crystal. It’s like playing out of a wine glass, b***h, so be patient.”

She played a note on the crystal flute, pausing excitedly after it made a sound, according to a video Lizzo shared on social media. Then, she blew a few more fluttery notes on it, cautiously twerking as she played, as is her signature. After a few seconds, she held the flute high in the air, victorious, and carefully returned it to the staff waiting a few feet away.

“B,***h, I just twerked and played James Madison’s crystal flute from the 1800s,” she said incredulously. “We just made history tonight!”

Here’s the video:

It was a beautiful and historic moment, one which the Library of Congress was glad to help make possible because it made history come alive.

Earlier this week, the Library of Congress invited Lizzo to visit its collection of 1,700 flutes, the largest in the world, per the Library. She carefully played the flute there first before she “serenaded employees and a few researchers” with a “more practical” woodwind, the Library said.

But reaction from conservatives, right-wingers, and MAGA morons was hateful, bigoted, and disgusting, which seems to be the usual for them. They seethed on social media.
