    Well, I include myself in amongst the angry faces then. I still fail to see any racism in my comments. I they are seen as such, I would conclude that the reader does not know what racism truly is. You cannot compare terms like angry white men to terms like angry n#ggers for example. There is just no comparison. And if the readers cannot grasp this concept, there is nothing to say. I guess we live in the era of ultra sensitivity.

    Breaking News:

    Brett the "Flatulater" Kavanaugh will not be invited back to teach at Harvard! Poor angry guy! He should go was away the pain with some beer! Cochino!

    I agree with you that those two remarks wouldn't compare at all. But think about it this way, if someone referred to, say, "Maxine Waters's scrunched up angry black woman faces," wouldn't that strike you as a racist remark?

    We will agree to disagree on this one my friend. Kavanaugh makes an awful angry white man. Having said that, the Rep will ram horn him in, and they will regret it come voting time.

    Abner, leave race out of the discussion because it has no merit or basis in the argument about qualifications that are needed to be a justice on the Supreme Court of the United States. Race and racial descriptions are moot to the discussion.

    Race is an apt description of how and what persons we are talking about. I will include race if I see fit. I think we are getting overly PC here, as the Reps like to say so much. Take a chill pill.

    I read it differently. It merely acknowledge existence of a caste of privileged mostly-white men with enormous sense of entitlement (fwiw Jian Gomeshi is ethnic Iranian - and liberal; still an entitled POS). I don't know why people react to this utterly uncontroversial thing with such indignation. Even Soviet Russia had a caste of entitled sons-of-important-parents, so much so that there's a famous rock song "celebrating" those punks (Мальчики мажоры by "Yura the musician", great Yuriy Schevchuk). Bart the Fart is as a textbook case of this as they freaking come.

    Is it too early to say I have doubts about Ms Ford's allegation against Kavanaugh? Now in hindsight, it looks like a political hit job. The take away for me is that if there are no political motives then go directly to the FBI or other neutral investigative bodies. Get the politicians and the sleazy counsels out of it because it does much harm for the victim.
    This does not mean I am a fan of Kavanaugh. He has the temperament of me so he is on track to become a lousy supreme justice.

    You've spent the last 2 years inundating this forum with mostly unfounded accusations of racism against every boogeyman imaginable. Here, you once again bring up race where it doesn't belong, and in the context of being disparaging to yet another one of your boogeymen.

    You know that if a white male republican politician ever called Maxine Waters an "old black fart" or if he had something to say about Barack Obama's "angry black man faces" then you'd create a dozen threads about it, interlacing insults and curses in both English and Spanish.

    Donald Trump fails to see any racism in his own comments. Consider yourself in bad company.

    Maxine Waters is an old black fart. She is a good leftist abd Democrat, good for her. She is too quick to use the race card. Also, she is one of those peoples who thinks she speaks for all blacks, and thinks all blacks are monolithic.

    Interestingly, she will make a great justice in the temperament of Justice Kavavnaugh.
    =
    Manchin will vote to confirm Kavavnaugh. His vote is not based on any principle stance one way or the other; except for his own political survival.

    I feel like puking when I see these politicians pretending to take the moral high road. It is so transparent.

    Yeah, Manchin makes me sick! He's pissed off a lot of Dems, and in doing so will have to proceed with caution from here on out.
