Steve Kelley for April 23, 2021

Whenever called out on racist behavior, the Republican’s reflex response is… “‘Reverse racism!’ No, ‘Race-baiting!’ No, ‘You’re playing the race card!’”

Another chance to use my new favorite gif!

No, you are also greedy, self righteous, elist, fascists.

Spot on.

I guess it’s not OK to call out racists when you see them because it hurts their (lack of) feelings. What was that word they kept bandying about the last four years or so? Oh, yeah, Snowflakes.

It is the GOP who uses race—-fear of immigrants, fear of people of color “taking over” and as Tucker Carlson said “replacing us.” Be afraid, be very afraid. That’s racism and fear mongering.

The Republicans still refuse to remove their rose-colored glasses and see there are issues affecting many in the U.S. which have been allowed to persist and need correcting. Oh, and a fair number of these issues are rooted in racism.

If you have never come across systemic racism stacking the decks against you, you might just be white.

If that’s been our tactic for “maintaining control” we need a new tactic…

Now there is an example of “the pot calling the kettle black”.. if ever there was one.

Tax the Rich! works also

That is indeed what white supremacists’ do.

Can you even start to explain to someone like Kelley what the world is really like? He just won’t see, and if he does see he doesn’t understand, and what he does understand he pretends doesn’t exist.

Yes republicans are racists, they have proved it over and over.

Yeah words can hurt… but not as much as emptying your gun’s clip on somebody who is unarmed yet challenges you…

…as opposed to yu tRUmplicans…using… your fave terms to stop real discussion and make sure old white guys stay in power….. ……like……antifa…cancel culture…hillary… the muppets…mr. potato head…not the right time to talk about guns so soon after a shooting… hillary….there going to take your guns away….leftest socialists….. fake news…. stealing votes…. immigrants are terrorists…hillary….masks don’t do anything…vaccines arn’t needed…hillary…..

maybe you should go take your mypillow and tape it to your face….and do the rest of us a favor…. you live on promoting fear….

Republicans* have two finely honed skills: Projection of their own characteristics, and LYING.

Here, SKelley again combines both.

Cut larger eye holes in your hood, Skelley, so you’ll be able to see reality.

What? Wouldn’t that be the Republicans that scare their base with scary dark skinned people?

SHRINK: “Whenever challenged you tend to lie and label your opponent as being against democracy”

ELEPHANT: “SOCIALIST!!!”

Perfect, you nailed it Steve.

Projection again. Still. Of course.

If Kelley wins another ‘Payne Stupid’ Award, he’ll lose his “amateur” status!

A racist reflex is to shoot first and ask questions later.
