My mother taught me to call a spade a spade. Not saying anything says a lot

In a caucus of boring, dispassionate milquetoasts, this guy is the absolute worst. He mumbles, he never raises his voice. How did he even get elected??

Coward

That's a pretty racist way to raise a kid. Provides nothing but silent complicity. Your parents should be ashamed, Senator.

Dear Lord. I was raised not to BE a racist. Surely that's what he meant? I've literally never heard any sane person say "don't call people racists." Don't call names? Sure. But .... calling a spade a spade is better than lying about it, no?

This is not some sing-songy “na-na-nan-e-boo boo” stick n stones crap. This is speaking the truth and standing up for what is right and decent. What is wrong with our politicians???

That's extremely revealing. I'd like to know how many of his fellow European settlers in the US were raised with such explicit or implicit teaching.

Well I'll say it for him..trump is a racist

This is exactly how white privilege is supported and reinforced even if it's not on purpose. The discouragement of speaking up. #sad
