Chris Jansing (MSNBC) just introduced her segment about Trump's "culture war" for his role in barring Reps. Omar and Tlaib from Israel. What the hell? Why the prettying up of racist actions and behaviors. That's what the KKK does so well - use terms like "my culture", "culture wars".

(2,863 posts)He wanted to seem like he was a tough guy without having to actually fight anyone his own size. I agree that it is also a euphemism for racism since that's basically what O'Reilly is.

Economics...One's Income Level often determines what Social Class one belongs to, what neighborhoods one lives in.
Family History....Where one's family linage originated from.
Religion/Religious Affiliation....If not White Anglo-Saxon Protestant, others need not apply.
Just my 2 cents worth.

(66 posts)He targets race, yes, but with Omar and Tlaib it's against their culture. That being Muslim. Yes it's a religion but it's also a cultural ideology. One could say he's most outspoken against poor people too. Many of whom tend to be minorities. He comes from a privileged culture that looks down on other cultures no matter the race. He just has a hatred for brown people too.
