The Compassionate Conservative's little white slip is showing
by digby
Wow. Jeb Bush, of all people, came down hard on white people who complain constantly about having to pay taxes to support the services they enjoy and conservatives who constantly whine about all the racial minorities stealing their jobs and destroying the American way of life. This is from his 1995 book with the highly original title "Profiles in Character":
That's about as scathing a view of white privilege I've ever heard from a Republican.
Oh, wait, sorry. I didn't see the whole excerpt:

Sorry. It turns out that Jeb Bush is just a typical snotty, rich right winger scolding people who have the nerve to complain about being treated like doormats and relegated to second class citizen status in the land of freedom and opportunity. Never mind.

(19,348 posts)Gays had very little in terms of rights in 1995. In several states one could be arrested for participating in sex with someone of the same gender. Blacks are still treated as second class citizens by the judicial system. Blacks go to jail for marijuana possession while whites get a slap on the wrist. Jeb is worse than his brother. Unlike the drunk frat boy older brother, Jebby is an outright racist.

(6,896 posts)when some drummed out coke fiend fratboy election thief has the nerve to joke that he
"cant wait to hang it" about MLK Jr's portrait in front of cameras and the family of
Martin Luther King Jr?
just because the press corp laughed doesnt make him any less of a filthy racist.
simply untouchable, a boy king figurehead who provided cover for the unnamed forces that put him there.
and people like to make fun of North Korea's leadership.
you might want to rethink.
