Yes, if you look at the amount of time the parties existed...

You said the parties have "changed".  So, can you offer a timeline of those significant changes?


Wouldn't "newish" only apply to the party as it now exists, and not over its entire existence?

Newish implies the lifetime of something.... if you live for 100 years vs 500 newish implies two different time periods....

I didn't see an option to check more than one circle (because checkboxes are racist)
I'd rather have a bottle in front of me, than a frontal lobotomy.

I'm only a racist because of my patriarchy and white privilege. Otherwise I would be just a bigot.

LOL!  Because "you say so?"

Quote
newish     adjective
   1. rather new.

And, since I'm certain you don't know the definition....
Quote
rather     adverb
  1. in a measure; to a certain extent; somewhat:
      rather good.
  2. in some degree:
     I rather thought you would regret it.
  3. more properly or justly; with better reason:
     The contrary is rather to be supposed.
  4. sooner; more readily or willingly:
     to die rather than yield.
  5. more properly or correctly speaking; more truly:
     He is a painter or, rather, a watercolorist.
  6. on the contrary:
     It's not generosity, rather self-interest.
  7. rather than, instead of:
     Tutoring is provided by older students rather than teachers.
     Rather than complain, you should try to make changes.

Sorry.  I choose to never give one second of my life to the person in that video.  Waste of space, even in the digital space.

He used to be funny, I mean not super funny but at least it was entertaining. Watching clips of him lately is about as fun as drinking dirty mop water.

Only way it could be more blatant is if he said they were gonna vaccinate black folks in Popeye's parking lots.

I would say we all are racists.  Whether we know it or not.  Whether we want to or not.

Racism has been taken totally out of context recently.  Mostly for political aspirations.  It has been dumbed down to the point where everything we say, do, or believe is somehow racist.

And those who have suffered the most from racism are predominantly responsible for this, throwing out common sense and rationality out the window, replacing it with greed, hate, and anger.

A lot depends on what definition is being used and the context that statement was being made.
For me, racism is a system that allows any racial group that’s already in power to retain power; hence, a racist person is someone, who advocates and actively participates, in the creation and maintenance, of that hierarchy.

Based on your definition, POC would be the racist as they are the "racial group that’s already in power " is POC  "who advocates and actively participates, in the creation and maintenance, of that hierarchy."

Also liked his "opinion" on airline hijackings that were happening at that time.

Fair statement, but it depends on what definition of racism is being used.  I would 100% agree that human beings are inherently prejudiced and often consciously or subconsciously exhibit bigoted behaviors.



Racism has been taken totally out of context recently.  Mostly for political aspirations.  It has been dumbed down to the point where everything we say, do, or believe is somehow racist.
Totally agree.  It is not that the politicians created racism and/or hate.  It was more they took what was already present, fanned things up, in order to achieve their agendas.



And those who have suffered the most from racism are predominantly responsible for this, throwing out common sense and rationality out the window, replacing it with greed, hate, and anger.
I have to disagree with this.

No common person wakes-up, in the morning, to purposely hate any particular group or race, without reason.  As stated above, politicians are notoriously guilty, of exacerbating racism and hate, but they are not the reason racism and hate exists.  There must have been some cause and effect at-play, which have given rise to the racism and hate exhibited.  Fabricated prejudice and bigotry do not last that long, as rational people really do not have time or energy in hating something that is based on nonsense.  There must be an underlying reason that will convince a person, ethnicity, or race to hate another group that is different from themselves.

Consequently, one of the most important lessons in history comes to mind: no justice, no peace.

That was already attempted when the Gun Control Act of 1968 was passed in part to ban Saturday Night Specials. 
The rationale was that poor people were able to use guns because they could afford the SNS. 
Totally racist law.
Try looking up the FULL name of the "(N)SNS"
