Which political party is using racist stereotypes in this year’s presidential campaign?
Well, let’s start by considering the imbecilic “White guy tacos” comment by Democrat Vice Presidential nominee Tim Walz, and the tacit agreement – based on her stated assumption of what “White guy’s tacos” would mean – by Democrat Presidential nominee Kamala Harris.
Now let’s add in the fact that Democrat operative James Carville has joined in the “fun” by claiming Republican support for Israel is based on Jews being “Whiter” than Palestinians*.
I’ve got to be making that up, right? Carville couldn’t have possibly said something so disgusting, so idiotic and so racist, right?
Wrong, wrong and Wrong.
From Gabriel Hays’ article at msn.com:
Democratic strategist James Carville believes that racism is what’s really behind the Republican Party’s strong support for Israel over the Palestinians.
During the latest episode of the “Politics War Room” podcast, Carville and co-host Al Hunt discussed why there is a disparity in support for Israel between the Republican and Democratic Parties, stating that the Republicans are much more unified in their support for the country because its citizens are “whiter.”
“It’s really about the misogyny and the racism that drives the thing, and we got to recognize that. It’s not about any policy prescription,” he said, adding that the GOP supports the “whiter” Jews over Palestinians.
“So, the reason that they say we’re targeting Democrats is because, well, we think they would be more open-minded about this. But we’re not going to do anything to the Republicans because we’re not gonna have any influence.”
Well, there you go. If you are a Republican who supports Israel, you are a racist.
See, your support of Israel has nothing to do with the fact that Israel has a right to exist, or that the “Palestinians” – if you’re talking about hamas – are committed, in writing, to obliterating Israel and killing every Jew there (and everywhere else).
No, that has nothing to do with anything. Republican support for Israel is just a racist thing…because, as James Carville “knows”, Jews are Whiter than those “Palestinians” (Does Carville have any idea that there are darker skinned Israeli Jews too? I guess not).
If a Trump-supporting Republican operative ever made a comment as overtly racist as Carville’s, is there any doubt that mainstream media would (with full justification) come down on the operative – and on Trump himself for having anything to do with the operative – like a ton of bricks?
But a Kamala Harris-supporting Democrat operative making such a comment? Naaaaahhhh. It’s just James Carville being James Carville. Nothing to see here, sheeple. Just move along, move along….
This, for better or worse (100% worse, if you ask me) is the current state of racial politics and its media coverage today.
How do you like it? Not very much, I hope.

*FYI: Since Palestine is a land area – not a country but a a land area – which includes Israel, all Israelis, including all Israeli Jews, are also Palestinians – something these geniuses still can’t figure out).
