Racist AZ Lawmaker Says Don’t Be a Traitor, Stand Up for White Culture: ‘I Like Redskins, Aunt Jemima, Uncle Ben…’

We hardly need to report on the fact that, though corporate America is taking some steps to address latent racism lingering in traditional products and names, the American population is as racist as ever. In fact, with respect to 40% of Americans, they are committed to their political party because it is increasingly acceptable, indeed expected, to proudly wear their racism as a badge.

Trump already weighed in today with his “disgust” that the Cleveland Indians changed their name to the Cleveland Guardians. This is a bit strange in that the “pro-capitalism” and “anti-socialism” party is refusing to support free-market capitalism. No one “forced” the Washington “Redskins” or Cleveland Indians to change their name, indeed both held onto their names far longer than most expected. And yet both free corporations did change the name because they believed it was best.

Freedom.

But the MAGAs don’t like this kind of freedom, because they’re sure that it is rooted in trying to please the left in America. They cannot conceive that it might just be an attempt to please Americans while also ending their public embarrassment. No, that’s not possible.

Arizona State Senator Wendy wants us to know that she’s proud of her white culture and its ability to dictate to minorities what they will be called and fck them if these minorities don’t like it. She is white and proud of it. If you are not proud to call people Redskins, love Robert E. Lee, and Aunt Jemima, well – you’re a traitor to America. Evidently, MAGA world only considers White Americans as American culture and if you aren’t willing, you’re betraying your country. (And it’s only “your” country if you’re white):

Wait, wait, wait. Traitors, that hate America? She must be saying that real Americans are lilly white, defend slavery, and support committing genocide against Native Americans. In other words, stand up for “White Culture” because it’s the only American culture.

She is proud of her racism and, unfortunately, that cements her credibility in the Republican party nowadays. This is absolutely disgusting.

Peace, y’all
