“Lol. These Haitians are wild. Eating pets, vudu, nastiest country in the western hemisphere, cults, slapstick gangsters… but damned if they don’t feel all sophisticated now, filing charges against our President and VP,” he said

But they’re not suing Biden and Harris who are, you know, our President and VP. They’re suing YOUR candidates because of THEIR dangerous rhetoric.

Except… Their entire cousin-fuckin’ base keeps getting reassured that “their” Pres & VP are those two fuckstains and alllll this is just a formality on the righteous way back to the --throne-- White House… 🤬☠️

Vudu is explicitly legal in the United States. It’s a religion, and for better or worse those are legal.

But what about God fearing, white Christians Americans?! They have a conditional right to not have to deal with pesky “other cultures” and “thinking critically about issues”.

He really does. I’d say coincidence… but the probability is that it’s more intentional than accidental.

Yeah those are the strongest part, but very well supported by the shiny dome, gray stubble and classic Hugo boss grey of his jacket.

“Lol. These Haitians are wild. Eating pets, vudu, nastiest country in the western hemisphere, cults, slapstick gangsters… but damned if they don’t feel all sophisticated now, filing charges against our President and VP,” he said, referring to Republican presidential and vice presidential nominees Trump and Vance, respectively.

“All these thugs better get their mind right and their ass out of our country before January 20th,” the post concluded. That would be the day Trump and Vance would be sworn into office if they win November’s election.

Let’s see what we have here:

  1. Negative generalization about an entire nationality.
  2. Repeating the obvious lie about eating pets long after it was debunked
  3. Blaming Haitians for a shitty streaming sevice.
  4. Not knowing how to spell Vodou
  5. Racist stereotypes about Vodou
  6. Not Knowing the distinction between Voodoo and Vodou (presumably)
  7. Hating immigrants because the country they come from is “nasty”
  8. Thinks country is nasty, hates people for seeking sanctuary from it.
  9. Slapstick? What, were the three stooges Haitian?
  10. Thinks all black people are in gangs.
  11. Look at them thinking they’re real people, signing fancy paperwork like they can read.
  12. Thinks Trump is President.
  13. Thinks Vance is VP, when even the insane view that Trump won in 2020 would make Pence the VP.
  14. Disapproves of any accountability for Trump (no surprise there)
  15. Thinks all black people are thugs.
  16. Those immigrants need to learn their place.
  17. Telling an entire ethnic group to leave the country before the next administration is in power, which sounds a hell of a lot like an ethnic cleansing threat.
  18. Complete disregard for that whole election thing that’s coming up (see 11 & 12)
  19. Thinks deleting a post will make it go away.
  20. Does all this, isn’t even the worst situation about Republican politicians posting racist shit online this week.
  21. Failed to stop Michael Myers, James Bond and the Puma Man.

You can add to that this congressman is from Louisiana and doesn’t understand the deep roots of the Haitian culture in New Orleans.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.

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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!
