I thought McConnell's statement would get more traction from this crowd. I still can't believe he actually said that.

honestly I didn't see this one as a big deal. I think he just missed saying "other" or "fellow" before "Americans".

Not a big deal? Wow! Can't believe you just said that.

I agree with Hugh. While it sounds really bad, I do not think it was some slip...just came out different then it should have. WHich tends to happen when you you talk on camera a lot.

I completely understand it being in this thread cause it is a head scratching comment for sure...

he's mocking me because of my reaction to Gern's "not a big deal" about biden saying that "you ain't black" quote. he's trying to portray that I'm hypocritical in some way. I see them as completely different statements, but whatever.

I'm not mocking you. It appears you and others are minimizing an overtly racist comment from McConnell. Has nothing to do with Biden's remark.

So you really think he meant to not include blacks as part of America in a statement? That seems more reasonable than just forgetting to include 1 word, in what would have been a comment that very much makes sense?
To me it’s a no brained that he meant to say the black vote percentage is nearly the same as America as a whole. And there is nothing racist about that.

I can’t believe anyone actually thinks he meant to say what he did.

we agree on McConnell's statement...not sure why we don't on Biden's

Is calling someone “black” acceptable? I was scolded here a few years ago and had my post changed by the mods to “person of color”. I’m legitimately asking

If you go back and look at our PM exchange from February 2020, you'll remember that you did not use the word "black." I appreciated your thanks for the edit at the time too.

Stay safe.

This week - 875,000 pages of documents regarding the government-funded and church-ran residential schools used to assimilate indigenous youth in Canada was finally provided to the NCTR.
Is it any wonder no one trusts politicians anymore?

I'd like to know the full context of this (source?). I honestly don't trust the media any more than I trust politicians these days.

Yes, it is reasonable to believe he used that language with intent and purpose. The silent white. Here's a piece that helps explain this concept and how the language is rooted in racism:

it's such a conflicting memory I have of him. I respected him greatly, and he was an amazing person....except super racist. maybe had I known the latter part when I was a kid, it would have had an affect on my current memories of him, but I didn't know that stuff until I was an adult. it's like having memories of two different people.
