agitating hate against brown people is a religion. Oh sorry. THEIR RELIGION. And filled pulpits in racist white, conservative churches full of Amerikkkan hypocrites prove it. Yeah, I had my fill of the racist religious bastards in the 80s. I had a very revealing experience and follow-up experiences finding the right religious fit. Ended up with my mustard seed worth of faith in some kind of creator of this mess. Never attended a church after that, any denomination. That is all.

Madison Cawthorn, Tucker Carlson and Marjorie Taylor Greene have also endorsed him.

What a shock that he is a racist idiot.

So, here's the next task, though I suspect this is already being done, somewhere.

We need a breakdown of all mass shootings - over the past 20 years - mapping location - by city and and type of venue, ethnicity of shooter, ethnicity of victims, and age of murderers and victims.

Charts. Searchable database.

Of course, this information is meaningless to vile racists (are there any other kind?), as they will either argue with you or walk away.

THE RACIST REPUBLICAN PARTY!

And the first two can be discarded. The biggest tool in my toolkit is not obsessing about race. That is strictly the domain of the republican party.

He's a typical Republican, looks great on paper (Duke U and Stanford Law) and combines that pigheaded ignorance of the world he lives in and the history that created it with a complete opacity of personal insight.

He'd be frightening but I was too busy laughing at his confirmation of a long held stereotype of mine about brash young Republicans.

Wonder how he missed those classes?
Brown nosing in the Hoover institute? (Pun intended).
What a disgrace. Stanford should withdraw his degree until he finishes his class work.

They grew up with a sackful of prejudices and assumptions and gravitated to anything that would alllow the to go through life without questioning any of it. Likely he was in the amen corner of whatever arch conservative club there was at Duke and joined the campus Federalist Society his first week at Stanford, Professors luikely sized him up quickly and just put their time and attention elsewhere.

Masters can safely say racist things about blacks while running for the Senate in Arizona. Had the guy blamed gun violence on hispanics, he'd be in a lot of trouble.

*(53.8% white, 31.9% hispanic, 4.6% black, 3.9% American Indian/Alaska Native and 3.7% were Asian/Pacific Islander)

Just days after he took office last month, Trump threatened to “send in the Feds” if Chicago didn’t “fix the horrible ‘carnage’ going on."
