Virginia Lt. Gov.-elect Winsome Sears on the Tulsa Riots... oh my...

[tenderfoot]

you also gotta like how Bash cannot be bothered with a follow up....

Virginia Lt. Gov.-elect Winsome Sears: "When we talk about the Tulsa Race Riots, let’s ask ourselves how did the black people amass so much wealth right after the Civil War, so that it could even be destroyed? How did they do that?"

1. Sears was as evasive as all-get-out.

I kept yelling at my TV: “just answer the question, girlfriend!” A simple yes-or-no question: “have you been vaccinated?” And she whirled around the room as though she were in the arms of Fred Astaire. We never did find out a definitive answer to that question, because our dear viewers’ surrogate Dana Bash evidently didn’t want to ruffle any feathers.

2. A genuine lunatic from the Yard

as we call it - one more disgrace to the race.

4. I do agree with one thing. Education does help to advance wealth

Maybe not billions, but certainly out of poverty for everyone. Other then that, her answers were mush.

3. I have to wonder why she hasn't offered herself up to be a slave...

5. Let's see Winsome, the Civil War ended in 1865, the Tulsa Race Riots were in 1921.

56 years. How did Japan and Germany get so rich in the 56 years since 1945?
She doesn't seem too sharp.
