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!

(Letitia James, wearing her pearls and flipping her hair) "You best believe it."
Why do you feel the need to turn her into a racial stereotype?
Not a racial stereotype. If you ever watch her press conferences you'd know that's the way she is. A smart hard ass prosecutor who has no problem taking on Trump or the NRA. I'd hate to be in her cross hair.
Well, you could insist your racism is ok, because reasons...
If you were being honest you could easily provide one of those many videos you claim exist.
I'm confused? Is there a stereotype that all black women wear pearls and flip their hair when they talk? If you told me that was a stereotype of any race I would actually guess white but I kind of thought that was just something that women with a certain personality did, regardless of race.
It sounds like you read their comment and visualized something racist in your own mind. Maybe the call is coming from inside the house?
Yeah in my head I was thinking a white Karen tbh. Am I racist because I picked white? Or not racist because I didn’t choose black? Maybe it had NOTHING TO DO with skin color, until that dude brought it up. 🙄
I picture a cross between a lady who lunches and an emo teenager.
By all means, you can provide a link of her actually acting/talking like that too.
That other account sure as shit doesn't want to.
But most people could find a better use of their time than defending racism online, you do you tho I guess....
I don't know much about her and I don't watch her press conferences. I'm not defending anyone, your comment has just genuinely confused me because I've never heard of this stereotype in my 33 years on earth, living in a racist state in a racist country.
I'm just asking how a hair flip and pearls is racist? Can you explain that?
She's a high level public employee...
No one would imply a white woman in her position acted like that, and despite you and the other account insisting she acts like that so it's not racist, neither of you show any interest in taking the two seconds to prove it if she always acts like that like the other account said.
Can you please just tell me what the racist part is?? Is it misrepresenting her personality that makes it racist? I'm telling you I genuinely do not understand and I'm trying to learn something from you but you seem hell bent on making people out to be racists instead of actually informing people about the topic.
In that case I think you're racist because you have misrepresented my personality.
There is no racist part. They're being intentionally trolling
I literally told you that I would assume it's a white stereotype of any. When someone says wearing pearls and flipping hair, I literally picture a wealthy white socialite in my mind.
That looked fun. I noted that you said you hadn't seen Letitia James in a press conference. So here https://youtu.be/q5A_uZjQ_70?feature=shared
She always wears the pearls when she dances on the corpse. She used to hair flip, but i don't see it here. In any case, when she decided not to run for Governor of NY, the current governor said "that's really bad news for Trump and the NRA"
Keep digging, troll
You could accuse whoever you like of being racist,
But you could also stop being a troll
Weird how often when I block an account, it usually doesn't take long for an account with very few comments to come along wanting to continue the arguement...
poisoning the well is not good faith discussion.
Just take the loss, damn. Who doubles down like this when they're proven wrong!?
If someone provided the video of her acting like that, I didn't see it because at some point I've blocked them.
You can link one for other people, if you can actually manage to find it. But I'm not going to see any of your comments anymore either.
If you are interested you can go and find one, it's not going to be difficult. We are not here to bring you stuff. What a level of entitlement, sir (or ma'am).
That's like when a Christian says God is real, but when you ask for proof they tell you to find proof God isn't real.
How can I prove she doesn't act like that?
Watch every single second of her on film to verify she doesn't ever act like a racist caricature, then come back and tell you I was right?
To prove me wrong is incredibly easy, but no one can seem to do it.
To prove me right is literally fucking impossible unless I link you ever single second she's ever recorded on video, and you watch all of it.
What do you not understand about this?
Seriously.
I want to know why so many people don't understand
This person is a full time time-waster of some variety. Almost double the comments in a half a year than my entire 8 year reddit account had.
Sorry you're being economically pressured to sit in a troll farm, gotta be a rough situation.
Pearls. Hair-flip. Sass.

Well, it doesn't have what every kept saying it would have.
But thanks for being the only one to actually link a video.
Tell me you don't know fuck about shit wiithout telling me you don't know fuck about shit.
