My point was that Trump is a raging racist, so the more racist the candidate the more likely he’d appeal to Trump. Currently Trump is endorsing Strong, so I figured Moore wanted to stand out as the biggest racist (not that he needed to do much to show that with his past) to win Trump’s support.

OH wait, I didn’t know that was an option, I want those.

Though we are far apart ideologically, perhaps our shared value system makes us more friends than enemies.

I’m sorry but that’s just plain wrong.

Maybe by “reds” he’s referring to the Russians or Chinese.

Or maybe he’s obliquely referring to the Georgia Tech and University of Alabama rivalry.

Who the fuck knows?

They recognize bibles just fine. They’re those heavy books they use to bash gay people with.

I hate to point it out, but people conflate race with color on a regular basis, even here on the BBS. How often do you encounter people here saying “negroid” or “caucasian” instead of black or white? Pretty much every day? So the main thing I think is consistency. Why is it “OK” to refer to some people by color but not others? IIRC there was even an olympic flag a few years back where the rings were black, brown, red, yellow, and white to represent the colors of humanity, and there was not even much controversy about it.

FWIW I am bi-racial and have indeed referred to myself as a red person, so sue me. If you don’t want to normalize referring to people by skin color, then don’t do it with some people but not others.

And just because I think outrage about this is pointless, doesn’t mean that that senator isn’t still being a clueless jackass.

We will see if a majority of people in Alabama agree with Mr. Moore. My guess is yes.

So… like… if you have “reds and yellows” and they get mixed together, is the result (by Roy Moore’s pretzel logic) … orange people ?

nah man, we Asians and Native Americans know we’re related (land bridge migration and all). That’d be like having a feud with your cousin. Maybe that flies in Mr. Moore’s backwoods…

You feed us frybread tacos, and we’ll share our sushi and ramen! It’s all good!
