[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I never heard of the term rat infestations to describe blacks. A new stretching[/quote]

So said the Germans duringWW2[/quote]

Exactly - this is Nazi language, plain and simple. I say that without any hyperbole - it is *literally* Nazi language[/quote]

I just read this Twitter thread.  This guy went to Baltimore to talk to the people....
And, one tweet in the thread stood out to me.....

On being 'Rat Infested':

- *Every* person I spoke with *confirmed* that the district was rat infested
- This man told me that rats the “size of cats” run through his house regularly
- One woman told me rats have “taken over” her neighborhood 
- One called it a "plague of rats"

And, then this tweet:

One of Rep. Elijah Cummings’ constituents went inside their home and returned with this flyer from the city begging them to help with the rat infestation. 
The flyer said that the trash & "animal feces" in the neighborhood attract the rats.
The flyer was delivered *this week*

Read the thread.  He will be publishing a video of his visit.  Featuring only the people who live there.

but anyway: i think you keep deliberately missing the point. if you aren't deliberately missing the point, then i think you might actually not be smart enough to engage in an actual conversation. either way, i will say once again: the issue isn't whether there are literally some rats in baltimore. trump did not just say, hey baltimore has some rats in it and i think it would be great if we could find a way for the federal government to help the city out with that, plus with some other problems. trump talked demeaningly, dismissively, disparagingly, grotesquely about the city and people who live there in an effort to discredit a member of congress who is doing his job of oversight over the executive branch. he talks this way about people of color - and only people of color - regularly. trump's language patterns taken as a whole are beyond troubling - they are thrilling to the white nationalists because THEY know what he's saying even if his ardent dcum supporters pretend not to.

anyway - good luck trying to go with this whole "black unemployment is down and baltimore DOES have rats in it - vote for trump!" thing. [/quote]
