Racist sign at Arlington rally to oppose Winsome Sears

Anonymous
That's not what racist means.

Yeah. The same people who are vociferously defending the sign as not racist also try to cancel anyone who accidentally uses a wrong pronoun.

And the people who say it isn’t racist won’t answer the question of whether that sign would ever appear at the rally of a white conservative male politician. Because, of course, they know the answer.

Stay with us here, it might be long.

Words have meanings. “Racist” is a word.

“‘Racist’ can refer to both a belief and a behavior:
• As a noun (a person): Someone who believes that races have inherent differences that make some superior or inferior to others, and who discriminates or prejudges people based on race.
• As an adjective (a description): An action, comment, policy, or system that expresses, promotes, or results in discrimination or prejudice against people because of their race.

In short, racist = involving prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism against someone because of their race or ethnicity.“

Ok, so that didn’t happen here. What happened was that a person was trying to draw a parallel between the struggles of black people and the struggles of trans people. It was insensitive and probably disrespectful, but it wasn’t racism.

Agreed. The sign was wrong. Why can’t liberals admit this woman made a mistake, take ownership, do better? Everyone makes mistakes. This is a big one.


This is an entire thread of liberals calling this out, who have also been calling out the Trump admin’s racism.

AND

This is an entire thread of MAGA calling this out, who have also been ignoring the Trump admin’s racism, including his call today to oust DC’s black woman mayor.



Nah. This is an entire thread of liberals trying to castigate anyone who brings this up as a dolt who doesn’t get the high brow ironic humor that was surely intended here with this sign.


That’s what this thread is.


Like a good MAGA you completely ignored the second part and just barked like for a demented felon who doesn’t care about you, your family, or your neighbors.

Again, how convenient.


I ignored it because it’s an irrelevant attempt at distraction and deflection. Which is all you do.

There’s a thousand threads about Trump. This thread is about an obtuse leftist woman in Arlington who you’d prefer we didn’t talk about because it’s embarrassing for you. So you attempt to make this thread about Trump.


It isn’t.

Bye.


LOL. Moving goalposts. You said liberals weren’t calling this out. I did, as did many others. Why would some rando make me embarrassed? I’m not in the least. She has no bearing on me.

I made this about Trump because MAGA is frothing right now like mad dogs, and I can call out the hypocrisy any time I see it. Which is now!


EXACTLY

I also said the sign is a mistake.

People who continue to harp on this mistake have bad intentions. Most are MAGA POSs.





No, maybe they are just black people who are tired of the Dem. Party taking them for granted and using them only as props in arguments to support Trans people, immigrants, and gay people. There is a black female employment crisis that is in part due to Trump’s policies, for example. Have Dems talked about this?.No.


It will certainly be interesting to see how the polls move after this, might not be enough to sway the election but the race is certain to continue to get closer.


Maybe politicians should actually show interest in and address the issues affecting black Americans instead of just being in glee that the incident might move votes


MAGA is flooding the zone right now. It’s hard to get anything meaningful right now. I hope the Dems will address how black women are being unfairly targeted right now because of racism. It may not be fair to ask for time, but Dem Congress is taxed. DC right now is under threat, literally. Dems are triggered, scared, and exhausted.



Yes, its not fair. And its is insulting to. If the Dems can make the time to rescue an illegal immigrant from his home country, they can make time to address the issues of black women.


What would you like to see happen?


No need to ask me. Dems, just like they study the needs of every other group using polling, town halls, focus groups, etc, can do the same for African Americans.


I asked because you’re upset. You mentioned Senator Van Hollen’s trip to El Salvador, so I didn’t know what the equivalent might be. I didn’t know that Dems aren’t studying the needs of African Americans.


No one is "upset". Are you next going to tell us to "calm down?


NVM. You said this: “Yes, it’s not fair. And its is insulting to.” I apologize for saying “upset” instead of “insulted.” I won’t ask any more questions.

She's saying the stance on trans kids now is the same as the stance on black/white water fountains then.

This has GOT to be fake MAGA outrage because no one could be so dumb as to not understand what she was saying. .Can't you get the black vote without lying Trumpers? MAGA manipulative scum post right here.


Except that it’s not the same issue. No where close.

I’m a black woman and I think there’s definitely an analogy. I’m not alone.


The analogy is a threat, stand with us on every issue or we'll support the return of Jim Crow.


Literally no one with functioning brain cells interpreted it that way. In fact you have to really contort your thinking to get to that conclusion, almost as if you are determined to believe that in bad faith.

The analogy is apt.

No. But the woman with the sign works for the City of Alexandria and as a paid protester for various causes. It will be interesting to find out if she was paid to attend the event yesterday and who paid her.


Protesters are not paid, you stupid twit

Only MAGAs would spin this to make her look racist. Your POC old lady candidate is going to lose.


That statement is illogical because it assumes two situations are automatically equivalent without proving the connection. It treats opposition to trans people using a bathroom as the same as racial segregation at water fountains. This is a false equivalence. The two issues are historically, socially, and legally different, but the argument collapses them into one as if they are interchangeable. By skipping over the differences and insisting “can’t you see how wrong this is,” it relies on emotional appeal rather than reasoning. Instead of demonstrating why the situations are the same, it simply declares them so, which makes the comparison logically flawed.


Bullshit. It’s not a false equivalence at all.

Forcing trans men to use women’s bathrooms is crazy. You want someone with a beard walking into your bathroom and saying it’s ok, I was born a biological female?

DP. So you think the line, “blacks can’t use my water fountain” is NOT racist? That’s really the position you want to take?

NP.

Some protesters (and especially protest organizers) are indeed paid:

No one is buying your bad faith arguments, sock puppet. The woman wasn’t being literal, it wasn’t a threat, and it wasn’t racist. She was comparing forcing CHILDREN to use a bathroom that doesn’t comport with their gender ideology to Jim Crow. I get that you are so obsessed by other people’s genitalia that you wish to police where the pee and poop, and I know arguing in bad faith is basically second nature to you at this point, but you need to know we see right through your bullshit.

At the end of the day, you can try to rebrand Winsome Sears in pastels and soft light all you want, but the bad-faith politics that tricked Northern Virginia into electing Youngkin aren’t going to work again. Youngkin had been a terrible governor, Trump is hated, and everyone remembers full well the wide-eyed crazy lady carrying an AR-15 as their defining image of Sears. She ain’t getting elected, no matter how much you try to pull this shit.

Now they've dug up a video of an Arlington teacher making the same statement. Must be a regular talking point in their circles.

You sure are hard at work this morning. And actually, Youngkin has been a fantastic governor. He will be missed.

Usually MAGA make a claim and then we find out that they’re making it because they’re doing it. So I guess all 1/6 MAGA were paid. By whom? Thiel? Musk? Vance?
