I want to know why her skin color matters for the position, for what she was voted to do? why should it even be mentioned, it means nothing to the job or role. It only matters to people that pay attention to those details, the people that make sure thats mentioned, the people that rage over someone asking why it matters.Her sex shouldnt matter either, will she do her job better or worse because she is female? why mention it at all?

You answer my question first. How is it racist to celebrate her being the first black woman as speaker of the house? Do you think she doesn't want to be celebrated for that? Do you think that any black pioneers don't want to be recognized in that way?

That's horrible.

Why boil everything about her, all her accomplishments and efforts, down to her sex and skin color for an articles title. Why is that always the goto and why am I the bad person for asking it?

I like to think I do but I'm human and make mistakes.

I'm shocked, SHOCKED! Well, not that shocked.

Identity politics is particular groups of people adhering to a set political party.

For example Evangelical Christians adopting Republican policy as part of their identity.

Your OP essentially stated that Democrats picked her because black people are stereotyped as having Democrat identity politics.

You literally have no clue what you're even saying.

I think you're missing the point. They only wanted Christians to be allowed access to the kids but legally couldn't say that. So when the other groups came in because they were legally allowed to the school shut the whole thing down. Just like in this instance, the school couldn't legally tell the group no, so the moment they could make a half assed excuse they shut it down.

We are friendly. Just not to people who want to race around our back roads and put others lives at risk.

Yes. Racing around back roads is a smart move. Everyone thinks they are Dale Earnhardt until they are wheels up.

Ohhh wait so BOTH groups got shut down? Carry on

Why is it racist to celebrate the first black women speaker of the house in Pa? You do realize that the Civil Rights act was passed less than 60 years ago and white supremacists groups still exist? I'd say its worth celebrating.

I had a rwd sports car when I was 18. Been there done that.

Not upset. Just can't understand why racists focus on it so much. It doesn't define people

That means a lot coming from the guy who is upset over skin color.

I know nice winding roads but I'm not going to recommend them to some boy racer in an econobox. Stick to the track.

you mean to tell me that the cops lied and the media just ran with it? no wayyyyyy

She's the first female speaker, not the first African American.
