Just like the noose around Obama’s neck isn’t racist, right? Just a handy coincidence.

If you refer to a black person as an “ape” there is no way in HELL you are not being racist. I’m sorry. This is not a case of “you misread my comment thooo.” It’s blatant racism.

“you’re talking about it usually to other white liberals.” in a great statement, this is the MOST true.

“It’s a big thing that’s present in the white liberal community. That, “I’m talking about it so I’m doing something.” No, you’re just talking about it. And you’re talking about it usually to other white liberals. You’re not really doing anything here. Talking is not action. Don’t just look at what you say. Look at how…

You can read her thoughts right now. She is published and she is still alive.

They were holding bibles... the protestors were holding bibles...

Yep. In Germany, you can’t walk three blocks without tripping over a holocaust memorial. And they didn’t turn their concentration camps into “nostalgic,” “charming,” “historical” places to host weddings, like we did with plantations.

They put us to shame in that department. America was built on genocide and slavery. How many Americans do you think would acknowledge that?

They also have very strict laws regarding hate speech. Breitbart and the like would have a hard time operating in Germany.

I don’t agree, politically, with Merkel on a large slab of issues (I’m not German, but have a half-German family and am in the EU, so I know them pretty well), but we’re in new world now where “Will stand against fascism” is apparently a rare and precious commodity in a world leader.

Jean Chrétien was by no means a favourite of mine but he was fucking savage to GW Bush during his presidency. Trudeau needs to take a page from that book.

I sincerely hope Trudeau doesn’t fuck it up. I get that he probably felt it was wiser to toe the line with the opening congratulatory notice to Trump, but when push comes to shove, he’s going to have to have more spine than the “shared values” bullshit he touted last week. I really hope he sees that we too are at a…

Germany is pretty much the only country that doesn’t whitewash its history, and makes damn sure children are raised learning everything about its past mistakes so they won’t make them again. Virtually no other country does that.

This is all, horrifyingly, true.

More people voted for Clinton. Never forget that. We lost, but we are the majority.

Looking to Germany for a means to deal with a fascist Cheeto Voldemort?

I’m so pissed at him for wasting money on ads here (you weren’t going to lose NY, Chuck Schumer!) but he’s not a joke. He can play the game.

I think good ol’ Linds is gonna get wild and become a huge thorn in the republicans sides. I could honestly see him flopping to the dems side.

I’m hopeful about Lindsay Graham.

I hope Chuck Schumer is ready. He’s going to be the most powerful Democrat left in our government after the inauguration.
