While the original joke is dumb and racist, the response to the backlash is great.

Rep. Karl Oliver, R-Winona, wrote: “The destruction of these monuments, erected in the loving memory of our family and fellow Southern Americans, is both heinous and horrific. If the, and I use this term extremely loosely, “leadership” of Louisiana wishes to, in a Nazi-ish fashion, burn books or destroy historical monuments of OUR HISTORY, they should be LYNCHED! Let it be known, I will do all in my power to prevent this from happening in our State.”

Ben Carson says people in poverty are their because they have a defeatist attitude/wrong state of mind. Ben said bad parenting is the root cause and if everyone had a mother like his, no one would be in poverty.

Lefty twitter was abuzz today with the revelation from one of Hillary Clinton's books that she literally owned slaves while the first lady of Arkansas



Low-to-zero-paying prison labor isn't anything new, and still pretty dreadful as something we do as a society. But it is pretty telling of the champions of neoliberalism that they don't particularly mind that such things happen.

Also, for being the most vetted candidate in the history of forever, the fact this little detail got overlooked in what is literally her own book is something else.

Yeah, it's pretty telling that stuff like this gets overlooked in their blind righteousness. Honestly I'd love to see the Hilary's and Trumps on both sides get pushed out of politics and just get the bipartisan childish bullshit out of the government so we can actually progress as a society, but that will never happen, so...I'll stick to my memes as a coping mechanism.
