So once again, a little deeply embedded racism is a tiny price to pay — especially for those who won’t personally be paying it.
It’s funny how many younger white people who have likely never spent time on the Eastern Shore and never personally experienced the tobacco farms in what they now cutely call the DMV so easily dismiss deeply embedded racism just because they themselves have had the privilege of overlooking it.

I stopped those daily emails from David Trone quite a while ago. For good reason.

Have you looked at Trone's accomplishments, including for black people? Maybe we don't judge people based on one slip of the tongue. I get that you want Alsobrooks to win, and that's fine, but she likely won't, and democrats should rally behind whomever the nominee is and not let Russian trolls divide them.


Oh, ok.

So, we need the white-knight Trone, to rescue us? Is that it?


If you think you're better off with a Republican-controlled Senate, you should vote accordingly.

The person defending the use of a racist term now says I need to educate myself. Cant make this up.


OK, just vote for Hogan and Trump, if that's what you want to do. I really don't care. Just please don't complain about anything the supreme court does.


Vote for biden. I really don’t care. Just please don’t complain about anything that crime does.


DP. Another Biden voter, and I won't complain. New FBI data confirms previous indications that crime in the U.S. declined significantly in 2023, continuing a post-pandemic trend and belying widespread perceptions that crime is rising.

47 year old white southerner here. I've never heard this word before! Didn't know was racial slur.

I planned to vote for Alsobrooks anyway. Met her once and liked her.

Jesus, I have listened to a fair amount of 80s and 90s country and never heard about this. Ick.

Affirmative action, gone. Loan/grant programs for minorities, struck down. Job programs for minorities, struck down. Government contracting set-asides for minority-owned businesses, struck down. Any program that was meant to help minorities is now unconstitutional. All courtesy of Trump-appointed judges.

But sure, let's play the false equivalence game and act like Trone is the same as Trump/Hogan.

+1 worse voting in Dictator and cronies to keep Chirstian Naionalists, facists running our country. UGH

Voting for Hogan vs Trone is a death sentence to the United States of America.

I don’t like him, will not vote for him but I bet he didn’t mean to say it. However it’s obviously a word he thinks on his head.


Clearly he meant Juggalo

Progressives aren't grtti worked up. This what Republican do to try to cancel out decades-long commitments to racist policies and statements , by pretending to be offended by twisted misinterpretations they make no sense in context.

This is what happens when a word is so bad that everyone stops using it, but people still remember it exists but forget what it means something bad, and they mix it up with a similar nonsense word.
