Youre wrong
It does, though, given his distaste at having to contend with a woman of color who's a real ;threat to the power and privilege he's had all his life as a white male. It's not so much that he is a prick as thinking that having one makes him superior.Why are you bringing up his skin colour and gender?
He seems a right prick but his skin colour has nothing to do with it.
"And don't criticize what you can't understand" sang Dylan all those years ago; time for this member of the Republican Party to learn that lesson.

She is correct in everything she said. A very impressive person who seems to have maintained the principles that got her elected.
So his skin colour impacts what he says?Youre wrong
MLK was wrong then to talk about content of character being the most important thing.
Let’s just judge everyone on skin colour and gender.
If you’re a white straight male, you’re automatically wrong and should shut up.
A female of a minority descent, you’re always correct.
If you’re a black lesbian vegan, then you get to be President.

Maybe... just maybe... he doesn’t like her because she’s more left wing than anything he’s had to deal with?
There’s never been such socialists in DC and there she comes along.
Why are the left so obsessed with skin colour, it’s every single thing they always jump to, even before dissecting what’s been said.

We are yet to have a black lesbian vegan president. We’re yet to have a female president.
We currently have an abhorrent white straight male president. Doesn’t mean all white straight males are abhorrent (I’d like to include myself in that).
You might be anti-woke but don’t think white male privilege doesn’t exist, and especially in politics, and don’t be naive to think that doesn’t pollute certain people’s mindset.

Every time i see this thread bumped i take a look in the hope she has said something nice about someone for a change.

If AOC was a white man do you think he would have called her a fucking woman? Or to use a male derogatory term, a fucking dick? I doubt it. We’ll of course never know so either of us could be right but to imply gender and skin colour don’t influence some people’s actions and rhetoric is wrong. Especially in America!
White male privilege is a myth, it’s just privilege in the United States and UK.We are yet to have a black lesbian vegan president. We’re yet to have a female president.

When you use the term you make a sweeping generalisation which hinders straight white males who are absolutely skint and living in relative poverty.
You can argue that through inheritance certain people and families have retained large swathes of wealth and property but the system doesn’t give white men a step up over anyone else.
In fact, due to positive discrimination, straight white working class males are being overlooked, in the UK, we even have a minority status at universities.

You’ve admitted there you don’t know and either of us could be right.
The difference is I’m not accusing him of racism and misogyny without knowing whether it’s a case of him just not liking her or whether he’s a bigot.
He could be both, it could just be the former but because we cannot know for sure, it’s wise to not automatically presume and start a race debate.
The whole purpose of getting past race was to make it as important as eye or hair colour, ie not at all important, yet the left continuously wants to push it to the forefront of the debate.
Why do you think the working classes vote against you every election? They’re sick of it.
