@joshtpm With respect, that's bad choice of words, given '16 GOP ticket likely to include a (pick one) Rubio/ Cruz/Jindal/Martinez,/Scott
As 'racism' has been redefined on right as talking abt race, whole term more clumsy/dodgy than ever. In US, real issue is white supremacy.

@RobGeorge that trend is expressing itself in a lot of ways. This isn't to say wont be nonwhites in both parties. One doesn't rule out other - View other replies

@joshtpm Hard to call Rubio, Jindal, etc. "Uncle Tom" or "sell-out" just because they ally with conservative agenda. Far more complex. - View other replies

@RobGeorge did I call them that? -
@joshtpm You didn't. But, crafting conservative ideology/GOP message as partly built on "white supremacy" kinda invites that response. - View other replies

@RobGeorge a good deal of the politics on the right.

@joshtpm Govt vs the people is white supremacy? Oh man, now I have seen everything. Take me home, Lord! I have seen it all! -
@Carbon92 Hmmm. saying something I never said and you've heard it all? Well, mostly stuff you're saying. Good luck. -
@joshtpm The real issue, Sir, is govt vs the people.The left redefines racism; the right redefines racism. Left and right of what? Govt, Sir -
@Carbon92 Okay, first part you think everythings about govt vs people. Got it. Is the rest a haiku? -
@joshtpm Gesundheit. There is no doubt the people on both sides see the other side as having redefined racism. Govt just marches on unabated

@joshtpm Yes. There's institutional racism & implicit bias & white privilege but to the right just mentioning race = racism. - View other replies

@joshtpm But that "you mentioned race thus you're racist" is the right's attempt to mute all discussion of race which is unhelpful for them. - View other replies

@joshtpm I graduated from one of the world's top 75 universities. I've never made more than $26k in a year. Where is this "white supremacy"? - View other replies

@ItsThatBriGuy sad that you think this a compelling question -
Actually, it was a rhetorical one. Not that I'd expect you to get that. MT
@joshtpm: @ me sad that you think this a compelling question -
@ItsThatBriGuy@joshtpm what is your point, then? White supremacy does not mean all white people will be rich. It doesn't negate class. -
@AlexMDBowles My point is that there's no privilege associated with melatonin levels. It comes down to connections. Period.@joshtpm - View other replies

@ItsThatBriGuy@alexmdbowles@joshtpm no -- connections is another form of privilege -- does not mean your white race is not -
@sailmom@ItsThatBriGuy@joshtpm That's completely indefensible - you really believe racism has no effect on the prospects of non-whites? -
@sailmom@ItsThatBriGuy@joshtpm What, then, explains the discrepancies in income, wealth and employment across ethnic groups?
