Title: A Georgia US Senate candidate
Post by: jimbogumbo on March 16, 2022, 04:01:02 PM
There are MANY smart Division I football players. Offensive lineman tend to be smart even at the large football programs.

Mr. Walker was not then, nor is he now, one of them.

CNN hates Herschel Walker. Big surprise. He's running against one of their race-baiting cronies, and he's black, and polling well.

It's like I blinked and it's 1994 again.

You didn't read it, did you? I would have posted it if he were of any race, or if he were D, R, or I. You are obsessed, and think everyone else must be also.

If the white voters in Georgia think Walker is stupid and Raphael Warnock is the smarter, more qualified candidate, they can vote for Warnock. But to ease their conscience, shouldn't they just abstain? After all, there may be a black voter who won't be voting because he hasn't a clue as to how to obtain legal identification or doesn't know how to find the booth, so wouldn't it be racist for someone of racial privilege to vote when that poor individual is being shut out of the system?

That made no sense at all.
