#Tennessee #JimCrow #Tennessee
Jim Crow????
These people did the same as those on January 6th.
Those people on January 6th killed police officers, and the police officers killed a terrorist.
Whilst my friends and I (in Brisbane, Australia) think Justin & Justin are Heroes ❤ the vile actions of the right wing is infecting our view of America
Lmfao, and the 2023 name for *”Racism”* will be called the *”Jim Crow Movement!”* The previous name or phrase, *”Culture or Cultural Differences”,* just phased out, and was no longer *”productive!”* 💯💯💯💯💯💯
No it isn’t this is 2023 not 1968 👍I know ya want it to be but it isn’t 😂😂😂😂who else is getting tired of Democrats politicizing non existent racism 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂your team got busted acting like maga turds deal with it 👍
“to the label maker batman!”
If women want Any Autonomy over their Own Bodies then You have to Vote Democrat-end of story. Once Republicans strip us of that right, then it won’t be much longer before they try to strip us of our Right to Vote at all. They already want to go back to the Era of Jim Crow. Soon they’ll have us back to the 1800’s again. 😏 Make No Mistake that’s when they think America Was Great. When women had virtually No Rights, Homosexuality was a jail able offense and black people were slaves. That what the Republicans ultimately want Again. 🤨
A woman has an abortion in the minority neighborhood it’s called a crime-fighter somebody told me
Don’t incite mobs and you won’t get punished💨🤡
But the white woman was OK to do it? Explain that to us please
@Rian Pelger She should have been kicked out and landed on her fat butt right beside the other two.
Please explain what this “mob” did that was so bad. Did anybody die? Did anybody get peppered sprayed? Did anybody get assaulted with flags? Did anybody get arrested? Did anybody stash guns nearby? Did anybody bring weapons? Did anybody break through barricades? You have your head screwed on backwards. You are arrogant and openly racist.. Change my mind.
If they was republicans in Tennessee who broke the rules we would be talking about decorum and rules
Not allowed to bring a bull horn to the house floor. Sounds pretty simple to me.
While one Republican legislator is accused of sexual assault but still got his seat! Now let’s tell the real truth
The Democrats were the KKK and Jim Crow, not the Republicans.
When all else fails , play the race card eh nbc?
This is an insult to people who actually remember Jim Crow. Applying laws and rules to black folks (or anyone else) is NOT oppression. Even Fox News is getting this wrong when they claim these lawmakers were punished for being involved in a protest. They were punished for trying to shut down the Tennessee legislature because they don’t have the votes for the things they want.
Jim Crow simply put on a suit and poorly disguised itself as a white Tennessee lawmaker.
Run ReQplickkklans run. Right out of the country.
So grateful that America’s youth is rejecting The GOP…rejecting their hate…rejecting their guns!
Have you considered race baiting for ratings?
Stop using the word CONSERVATIVE.There is Nothing conservative about Maga and certainly nothing…PRO LIFE.
Well I heard one of the Republican representatives in that Congress and you kind of indicated that these guys kind of often speak out and break rules on the house floor. However this was not an insurrection and… At least when democrat freshman want attention it’s for the good of others.
You can’t believe anything a Republican says.
I dont believe that they often broke thr floor rules but they did break the unspoken rules, to be seen and not heard. You know, like good boys and girl‼️
@Au Golding All of them committed treason and belong in jail.
@saxxin1 nice try, epic fail. When you need to exaggerate or make stuff up to try and push an agenda, all you do is out yourself for what you actually are. It isn’t 1950, bro.
Givers and rakers if federal tax dollars, state by state. Know the numbers. Thinks havent changed in generations. The south has not changed. Dont pretend it has. As a voter from a state that gives both parties a chance. I can never vote republicans can, mainly for the fact we have an entire region that only puts republicans in control. Talk about being fiscally responsible, then take, and take from those who give.
Simply boycott TN to prove to the low IQ GOPs that economic power is more powerful than political power. All upcoming conferences, sports events, retail activities, among others must be boycotted. Basically, total economic boycott of TN.
Chuck Todd AKA rat face is lying like always there’s video proof showing what they did
The three democrats are guilty of insurrection. They feel rules and decorum are something they do not have to follow, and they incited the protests to escalate.
liberal; nonsense
Pay reparations if permanently leaving the USA is a stipulation.
Everything you hacks don’t agree with is “Jim Crow” 🙄
This is exactly why Noone watches your $hit network
Dislike my self huge for leaving you our great Crristian Church who is miss it very much
No bad things nothing to harm your well beung ever
Republicans have been screaming their hate for black people loud and clear, every since Berry Goldwater and The Southern Strategy. I had a white man tell me he thought race is used to much, in Nashville, over ten years ago. Imagine? This is nothing new. But black folk are told we are too sensitive, get over it, let it go, etc. The republican legislature did what republicans have been wanting to do nation wide. They are with other republicans, doubling down on support for Jim Crow. The republican said other republicans wanted to arrest Congressman Lewis. As usual law and order is a Jim Crow dog whistle. Police feel the same way. Republicans use cancel culture when black folk hold our money. But adore the cancel culture of canceling black people. If you look at old interviews of white people, concerning The Sit Ins,the responses are the same. The responses are the exact same. Gerrymandering is not the problem in this situation. The problem is the gate in republicans heart. Because if there was not a super majority, this would have still been on their hearts. This is exactly what police do and how they feel. And why republicans love protective immunity so. And why moderate democrats like Manchin and Sinema are equally as harmful.
BULLSH#T! *THEY WERE PART OF AN INSURRECTION! If they had pulled this stunt in the governor’s office or the supreme court chambers they would have been hailed off to jail!*
What’s happening in Tennessee is some black panther wannabes think they are above the law and are using their race to play victim. Lock em up.
Good ‘ol MSNBC pushing more hate and division.
🥱
Tennessee State House,where hope,integrity,honour and equality go to die,Tennessee State House,where rascism,hate,intolerance,corruption go to thrive.🤢
I think it’s time for common sense gun laws!
Which is why I’m advocating for police officers to be placed
At every school and for all teachers to be armed if they choose to do so.
It’s not that the Republican Party is being called extreme. It’s because your views ARE EXTREME, and your ideology is bigoted, prejudicial, and blatantly racist and it’s the reason why for so many years, a great many black people stayed away from your party. I can’t speak for the brainwashed, cooning uncle Tom blacks in the party. They’re just lost.
The modern GOP has not been good for the country since at least Reagan whose team it was recently revealed engaged in treasonous conduct in winning his first Presidential election. For instance, trickle-down economics is an assault on the dignity of the people and not merely ridiculous economic policy. The GOP has only become more blatant having enriched their elites to the extent that they now feel well protected and unfettered by the support (see DeSantis). I expect it will be hard to keep democratic politicians from breaking on the financial temptations about to be unleashed.
Some have called guns “The Great Leveler” and the results can be both good & bad. I’ll get to the good, but the bad is what needs to be addressed most urgently. What guns do is give a voice & power to whoever has the most devastating weapon or weapons. It doesn’t matter if that voice is based in reality, logic, truth & facts, or if it’s based on “beliefs” (in lieu of evidence & facts), ignorance, gullibility, stupidity or racism.
And that’s why the GOP en masse clings to the 2nd Amendment as their last refuge of being heard – but only if interpreted in a certain narrow way. Their ultimate goal is Authoritarian Rule – whether it be a dictatorship, oligarchy, or anything that has a ruling class – they want to be the ones in charge & making the rules. There is no interest in a democracy except as window-dressing to help get the compliance they need to gain complete control & power.
It’s the GOP pursuit of the destruction of American democracy that makes them worthy of expulsion & the Tennesse Republicans reveal that desperation in their pre-emptive & instant move to expulsion of dissenting voices rather than deal with the very real issue of innocent kids dying unnecessarily. These GOP politicians realize the wholesale expulsion of the GOP as a Domestic Terrorist Organization (and brainwashed cult) is on the horizon & that the very survival of the GOP hinges on them (attempting to) expel others first.
Don’t forget Mississippi
What position do the GOP need to get straight? They are against abortion for any reason at all. How clear can they be?????? Let them erase themselves over their need to dig in and lose!!!!!
Love it when they actually have really level analysis…with out the politics!!!…then they undermine it with the clowns on the panel!!!
Jim Crow yet the were fairly voted into office right?
Tired of the descriptive, “pro-life”. They are only scared and weak individuals that only want influence and power.
No, they expelled 2 idiots that caused their favorite goto word “insurrection”. They should have voted out the other female also
🌚…awwwww lawdy lawdy! Tennessee won’t let us ak a fool!!!!! Dats waycist!!!!!!!
But if a legislator takes a leak on another legislators chair, in the State house, that’s NOT acting a fool 😂😆 and they’re fine to stay in the TN legislature 🤡
Not just Jim Crow. There’s also Harlan Crow.
Which one has the brain cell today
It is not Jim Crow. The Rule of Law applies to local and state legislature and federal. These three conspired to hijack the House and play the race card to promote their own agenda, which was to come across as the next Malcolm X and Dr. King, and they are nowhere close to that. This was all planned and divisive. If any legislature does not follow decorum and procedure and continues to after being reprimanded, they would receive the same decision. This is the difference between educated people and people with little or no credibility.
Maybe the 13% should stop committing 60% of the crime…..
Imagine referring to racism as “a bad look.”
I live in TN. This is such BS. Liberalista PC crap.
Jim Crow South has not risen from the dead because it never died in the first place. These white folks know their God will never take away their power.
OH so What, Republicans Rule and allyou all others So what? The DOJ has failed America! Yes.. thats you AG Garland and Prez! Way too Old Biden!
Shouldn’t they be arrested for insurrection?
GQP, the expulsion of 2 articulate Dem.-TN State lawmakers, who happen to be Afro-American made the top evening news on Germany’s main news stations; ARD/ZDF. Both are the facsimile of CBS, NBC, PBS, ABC…..The whole world is watching!
Lol
How you as a man going to tell women well you go to have some “reasonable Limitations ” to what a women can do to their body ? like that not ok !
This is the Texas definition of “states rights”- “Our state has the right to strong-arm other states to do what we want”.
See also Paxton, Ken.
A number of states have said, citing the risk to women’s health and lives, that they will not follow Kasmarek’s edict. If he has a problem with this, he can conduct a coast to coast medicine chest search himself.
THIS is the only action the Tennessee legislature took after the Nashville mass shooting. Let that sink in.
Keeping the tradition of Jim Crow alive is more important than keeping 9 year olds alive in Tennessee, apparently.
@kpokpojijiHow pro-life of them smh
A simple fix, galvanize and vote them out…
Days of Noah.. You can’t kick God out of America without ramification.
Chuck Todd is a real freaking DISGRACE
With respect to republiKlan “silence” on these issues, the pertinent point of common law here is: “Qui tacet, consentit.” (He agrees, who remains silent.) You either speak out against Jim
Crow, or you agree with it. These actions in TN/FL/TX/etc. are a measure of how desperate MAGA Nazis have become.
hahahahahaahahhahahaha This hysterical. Its the complete opposite.
It is to Brendan Buck’s credit that he isn’t trying to justify the insanity his party is doing right now. Unfortunately, these are the voices that get lost in the current Republican void.
Goodwork Republicans, you made them famous, and painted yourselves as elitist klansman okay with child Slaughter.
Jim Crowe is still mad that their slaves are free.
obvious is taking place. With internet, social media, digital formats streaming, actions speak louder than words.
To cut to the chase it is race hate without the hoods, on the “upside” it was expulsions instead of lynchings.
In Tennessee the unwillingness of Republicans in the legislature to tolerate any objections whatsoever began well before the Tennessee Three debacle. They are not just a racist group, they are a group with a complete disregard for democracy.
What happened to the separation of Church and State. Just like the Second Amendment, It shall not be infringed. Religion has no place in politics. It’s in the Constitution.🇺🇲💙
This is the state that prosecuted a teacher for teaching evolution.
Just a further escalation of Violent Extremism ? Seems to be encouraged as a further tool to destabilize the Country ? Ask Biden ? We’re up to our backsides in Real World Problems ( China – Ukraine – Leaks ) and you’re tilting at Windmills ! Left is really after the Supreme Court- the Last Bastion of protecting Our Republic From mob rule ? 🧐
And the liberal msm should know jim crow they support the political party who invented it….Democrats.
So in light of the political lynching that just took place by the “Klansmen” posing as Tennessee’s House of Representatives. The real question now is how long, and how many White people will continue to support a party. That continues to show their utter contempt, disdain and disgust. Not only for your lives, but that of your own children! Because of your own complicity, and willingness to look the other way. As your own are being slaughtered.
Here is an idea. Take down the republican terrorists Party. End the party of hate and racism. They are domestic terrorists. Turn the hate on them.
Jim crow lol thats the name of your co host
The actual Tennessee three – Evelyn Dieckhaus, 9; William Kinney, 9; and Hallie Scruggs, 9. These three narcissistic liberals should be ashamed of themselves.
Trump would never allow this let that sink in ✌🏿 America
The wicked man’s way is in the dark, he does not know what causes him to stumble.
It’s strange how federal regulations aka checks and balances of multi tiered courts is….optional 😂😅
The French President Macroning is an ungrateful despicable political villain who selling friends for glory by criticizes the United States for welcoming China and trying to breakdown the relationship of allies between US and Europe,In today’s Russia-Ukraine war, if there without US’s support to Ukrainian,then the next will be invaded by Russia is the whole of Europe. He forgot that if there was no American paid a lot of young lives to support them and fight with theirs enemies during the Second World War, well, the language that Macron now speaks is German instead of French. it is inconceivable that france produce a such ungrateful despicable person is not as good as my dog, because my dog alway remember and appreciate it’s master nurturing ,according this despicable person acts that he never to get respected and no welcome to American, hopefully the acts is by his personal despicable behavior,otherwise American should reconsider the strategy to Europe .
I think what the Republicans are doing is worse than Jim Crow because they know better and it’s 2023 for God’s sake. Republicans are outnumbered more than they realize.
*They helped incite a riot in the chamber to where lawmakers had to be escorted by multiple state troopers to safety!! Had they pulled this dangerous stunt in the governor’s offices their @ssess would have been hauled off to jail! Why is the legislative chamber not the same?*
What else would a panel of journalists conclude?And incidentally a panel of journalists are no smarter than a panel of tow truck drivers.They can just dress better because what they do has absolutely nothing to do with work.Journalism isn’t a field.It’s an ideology.
Jim Eagle is so much worse than….Jim EAGLE!!!
White Nationalist Republican GOP + NRA = Domestic Terrorist. Blackburn and Gov Bill Lee worry more about money in their pocket and for their friends then Tennessean. That is how the White Nationalist Republican GOP roll. When you are govern by the White Nationalist and the KKK. Nothing will change. Bill Lee is a business first. He will say anything to lower the flame. Nothing will come of this. That is why I don’t even use this Lee Company Heat and Air for anything. Wouldn’t give a penny to this guy. Tennessean need to protest Bill Lee Company.
When the nashville bank shooting occurred some lame oddball blamed blacks. It was a lame white guy.
They hate black people.
Ain’t no going back…..I guarantee it…..tribe 🧐
Obviously fda approval is not a big deal since they shipped in a bunch of unapproved baby formula for Americans babies so Obviously the Fda doesn’t have to approve or their approval doesn’t matter
Anybody who doesn’t see the devil at work here, needs a rude awakening.
Absolutely Jim crow and it’s time to vote them crow’s out all of them
Good discussion. Touched important topics. Now just need deeper investigations exposing each state guilty of these practices. That’s real journalism.
Jim crow is alive and well
Jim crow is alive and well ✅✅✅✅ it out
Joe Biden is got people questioning is he an American. The way he help other folks . Like foreigners and illegal immigrants.. Ukraine war must be our war we broke behind it.
Exactly Cause They We’re Talking About Gun Laws After Children Were Shot. Bills That Need To Be Changed They Won’t Touch
Black folks need to stop supporting these states doing racist stuff. Looking forward to the 2 Justine’s leading black America. It’s great to have some young blood that’s not afraid to stand for what’s right.
It’s always racist, with you.
I love the parting, “We’re being defined as extreme”…..Let me fix that for you….it’s not a passive definition….you should say, “We have done a lot of extreme things, which has shown everyone who we are.” There….now if you don’t want to be defined by that, there’s no law requiring you to be a Republican.
Jim Crow laws were the product of Democrats. The party that founded the KKK in 1865.
The GOP pushing their Mississippi Burning Agenda isn’t the brightest of concepts.
