Oh. I thought a conservative actually mocked her for being a POC. If that was the case that's not appropriate.  

I do not think anyone would consider a skin color a handicap, Trump would? 

I must ask the question, if we mock someone or question them, what separates that from mocking or questioning them without it being because of skin color? 

Does your remark imply that you find public mockery to be an appropriate behavior for your political and cultural leaders... unless its mockery for skin color? 

Do you understand the difference between asking a question and mocking? Maybe not.

This is Baloney's response to it:

So, is the news here that the woman of color was mocked on Twitter by conservatives?

You can form your own.opinion.

And, I'll just point out that Trump wasn't even mentioned in the article. 

There are some here who like to deflect often. Even from their own previous comments.

Yep. Of course we've seen here that some  members in this thread don't form opinions based upon facts or evidence and may not understand what mockery actually represents.

P.S. my comment didn't mention Trump either... just the old news of "conservatives" mocking a woman of color on social media.

I guess it can be inferred that they are mocking her because of her skin color.if someone assumes they are because they think that's what conservatives do.  However that is a belief but I do not see anything in that video that suggests they were mocking her because she was a woman of color. 

I would say if any mocking was going on, it's because of her not so subtle attenp to cater to some people by stating her pro nouns. Or her attempt to be inclusive. I guess it depends on the individual' precieved notion in how they interpret it. 

Yes. No Trump in that video. I'm not sure how he was thrown in. I originally thought he may have done something recently but my Google search doesn't show anything new about him mocking POC.

No of course I do not think mocking is appropriate.  However it very abundant in politics and society in general. 

Yes I understand the difference between mocking and asking a question. 

My point was some disingenuous people may assign mocking because of a trait, or a question being asked because of a personal trait. Suggesting it's mocking but really is not.  Skin color etc.

Gotta love those precision strikes when they work out.  Still have vivid memories of 9/11 when we finally found out that almost no one would be coming into our OR's we had set up for trauma cases.  I'm just sorry it took so long and he had 21 years of his life left to live.  Good job, good news.

That must have been a big surprise to Biden, as he was under the impression that Al Qaeda was gone.

I was deployed to ground zero & it was soul crushing watching the rescue effort quickly turn into recovery.

Not that it matters, due to the fact Trump isn't President.   But, we all know these "fact" checkers are subjective and they cherry pick what they check.

I'll also say, Joe Biden, as an elected leader, has been lying to us for over 50 years.

It's odd that people who are so offended by Biden's lies continue to minimize Trump's unprecedented lying to point fingers at lessor liars... it's so oddly inconsistent that it appears little more than partisan propaganda and rhetoric based in deep hypocrisy. 

Cherry pick this...Trump was the most dishonest president of your lifetime.
