From the Atlanta Daily World:
Photo: Republican Club of North & East Fort Myers A Black Trump supporter in Florida is suing a Republican group, claiming he was called a “slave.” According to NBC 2, Carl Baxter, a well-known Trumper from Lee County and president of the Republican Club of North and East Fort Myers, filed a lawsuit against Americans … Continued

If you’re black and support the GOP might as well get used to that term again.

They are free to vote Republican. Just don’t be shocked when their rights are further rolled back. The GOP is actively attacking DEI policies and weakening the CRA. These things are in place not because of the memory of racism but because of current and increased pressure towards racist policies.
Everyone is free to stab themselves in the knee with a grill meat fork.
Just make sure you’re ready to accept the consequences of stabbing yourself with a grill meat fork.
Ha! Jokes on you, I don’t have a grill meat fork!

yolo, removed!
Nowhere in that comment did they tell a marginalized group how to vote, but merely stated their opinion as to what the outcome would likely be for that group depending on how they voted.

Do insufferable cunts count as a marginalized group?
They aren’t marginalized enough

If you’re in a minority group and you still support the GOP, I’d argue you can’t.
So I see nothing wrong with respectfully suggesting to a specific group that maybe they should be careful who they vote for.
OP stated a fact tho.
How does it feel to be surrounded by leopards, hungry for face meat?
“I can’t believe they’ve done this.”
I was hoping to find this reply reference. Thank you.

lions are in the lions den
Surprised pikachu
In all seriousness, I hope this is a wake up call for this trump supporter. They don’t fucking care about anyone but themselves. It’s not a party of progress or change.
It’s a party about regression toward kings and serfs and Friars
Serfs. 🙂
For serious. It’s important to realize that repressive, hateful people will turn on each other.
Are there any headlines with the name Trump in them that aren’t negative? Aside from Fox News and Newsmax of course.
Why would there be? It’s like looking for the upside of listeria.
Listeria never buried their ex on their own golf course just so they could continue cheating on them.
Damn son, that’s a Rickles-level slam. Well done!
Credit where credit’s due, I cribbed that joke from Jimmy Kimmel
Edit: thanks, though— that’s quite a compliment! It’s just such an astonishingly devastating joke, it can’t only be told once. I refuse to let it be wasted that way— so, please feel free to retell it.
The original joke (to the best of my recollection) was:
“Of course, Trump buried Ivanna on his golf course so he could keep cheating on her and his taxes.”
Delicious deli meats!

The lawsuit states that Baxter was getting paid by AFP to canvass neighborhoods and talk to voters. Baxter alleged that he was called a “slave” by his supervisor after complaining about not being properly compensated for the work he was doing.
“I know you are doing the work and I can see the doors that you are hitting on my iPad on my side. At least you are working as a slave (sarcastically) but at least you are getting paid, many slaves today do get paid, many used to never get paid. Are you a slave?’” the supervisor allegedly said during a call with Baxter.
In the lawsuit, Baxter also alleges that an AFP member bribed Baxter with $500 to provide “dirt” on Cape Coral councilmember Patty Cummings.
Why he is he Suing? If your Black AND a Trump supporter you OBVIOUSLY don’t think Racism or Hate Crimes exist against ANYONE but White people!
It’s interesting, isn’t it. They’re obviously supportive of . . . uh, whatever policies trump is supposed to support - let’s say for the sake of argument it’s the standard, lower taxes, strong military, smaller government things. Given that none of those are particularly helpful for any minority, here’s a guy who probably sees himself as a businessman of some sort - perhaps a “free thinker” to his own mind - and he’s part of the politics for that . . . stuff.
Then they just come out and disrespect him openly. I can see him suing for that - y’know to make the party better for the next people.
The fact that it’s almost entirely self-defeating is really only not applicable to millionaires, misogynists, and white collar criminals. There’s still something like half the party voting to have the right to their own bodies being taken away - at least this guy isn’t doing that.

“I drink the sewage from this water so those who follow won’t have to.”
“Ever considered just going to where the water’s clean and drinking that instead?”
That would seem to be a reasonable course of action wouldn’t it.
And yet
And yet…. “If I close my eyes and hold my nose, I can almost pretend the sewage chunks are cottage cheese. This is fine! It’s fine.”
I’m an uncle Tom, not a slave!
And yet he is, obviously, a slave to misinformation, disinformation and poor critical thinking skills so…
The lower classes are all slaves in one way or another. We’re not invited to the party. This is just pinning the name on obvious racism and being used for votes.
ahahahahahahahahahahaha
