Same song, different pictures on the album cover ...
That's getting really old, so forgive us if we say hell to the no this time.
Actually I don't care if I'm forgiven. I'm just saying hell to the no.

(34,139 posts)I am getting tired of people saying that to you and to any of us who are not white men.
The stretch to keep this guy in office is killing us. Whatever happened he handled it wrong and he looks very guilty so he has got to go. You should never have to suffer through this again. Never. If he is not the guy in the picture he would have handled it better right from the start. If there is a question he is out of there afaic.

(9,500 posts)or maybe attended a NWA concert in his youth, I presume you would be calling for his immediate resignation? Because, they should be immediately cast out if they ever listened to music that glorified misogyny (among other things).

Or maybe someone with a different purpose here.
Or both.

But if you think that Trayvon Martin can turn a sidewalk into a deadly weapon, I can see why you'd be absolutely terrified of NWA.

(9,137 posts)But wait a minute, there WAS an Afro-American Governor of VirginiaDouglas Wilder. Not during Reconstruction, not during the heady days of the Civil Rights era, but in the early 1990s. And, Divine Providence smiling and the oligarchs thwarted in their efforts to undermine the popular vote, there will be another one.
Purists whining about Northam not resigning immediately should grow up. Stamping their feet and holding their breath until their faces turn blue really doesnt become them.

(3,900 posts)to understand what's best for us and sneer at us with such terms as "purist" when we expect our fellow Democrats to do more than give lip service to our party ideals?
I have my own name for it, but I'm interested in hearing yours.
