    The "black friend defense" played out before a national TV audience this week during Michael Cohen's congressional testimony. For some, it's a tired racial trope.http://apne.ws/2C1ytqP

        Yeah, because everyone knows that white people with black friends are the MOST racist. David Duke must have tons of them, right?

        She obviously meant to call him a racist so she got called out then everyone acted like she didn’t, absolutely disgusting.

        Curious that this article neglects to mention that Tlaib was forced to apologize.

        Not completely accurate, I guess there are some house rules that don’t allow members to personally attack other members, so she just chose her words very carefully and showed receipts, which was even sweeter!!

        There's no defense to the liberal racism attack. Once they accuse you, you're guilty and any effort to disprove is futile. The only way out is to be a liberal - like Northam, Maher, Hillary, etc. It's so woke
