Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Back in the day, certain slaves were "house slaves" who were still treated like shit and beat. But were "allowed" to do work in the plantation house instead of the fields.
They were often more racist then the slave owners. The only way they could build themselves up was by tearing their brothers and sisters down.
The worst the slave owner consider them, the better the ones in the house seemed by default.
While Thomas should be aware of all that as a "legal scholar" who would have had to study shit like this for years...
The mentality isn't relegated to just slavery.
Pick any random minority, and you can find a member who does similar.
So he probably wouldn't mind if slavery came back, because in his head he'd still be one of the "valuable exceptions" and has done the mental gymnastics to think he'd even hold onto his position.
Understanding how they think is important to stop them.
He should ask the Jews for Hitler how it went for them
See Latinos for Trump.
Their ~~leader/founder~~ prominent cameraman/journalist(?) got deported this past week.
Leopards eating good.
This unfortunately, too real, truth nuke. It’s really unfortunate that people who have mentality exists no matter their skin color or ethnicity
