http://www.msn.com/en-au/news/australia/white-supremacist-signs-declaring-its-okay-to-be-white-appear-outside-mps-offices/ar-BBPcgWM?OCID=AVRES000

Posters saying "It's okay to be white" have appeared outside the offices of two federal MPs who were among the most strident in criticising Government senators for voting for a motion declaring the same.

Both South Australian Greens Senator Sarah Hanson-Young and West Australian Labor MP Anne Aly, whose offices were targeted, have taken to social media to complain about the posters.

An "It's okay to be white" poster near Senator Sarah Hanson-Young's office in Adelaide.

Twitter user "Vladesch" said it was "such a silly fuss over a sentence which is clearly true".
"That is unless you think its (sic) not ok to be white," they said.

"Then you must ask yourself if it's ok to be black. And if its (sic) not ok to be black then you're clearly a racist.
"But if its (sic) ok to be black and not white you're also a racist."


#####

Very wise, that Twitter user "Vladesch".

Yes, the Australian parliament basically voted that it's not 'ok to be White'.
They originally voted that it was ok, then amid howls of protest from the usual suspects, voted that it's not ok.

Suckers...



 :-X

Trump is just making a point, and getting ready for when they do hit the border.
Not too sure what the troops will be doing to stop them from entering though...fences and tear gas didn't stop them forcing their way into Mexico.
Most of them have refused to accept asylum in Mexico, reportedly.

If Trump lets them in he's finished politically.
He needs to secure America's borders to have any hope of re-election.

Time for change.
This is exactly why a wall/physical barriers are needed.
Guess the troops could start digging a deep moat the length of the border.

Trump doesn't have much time to figure out a solution...he's doomed if they get in.

Bambu, I think it is very likely that some of those members of parliament have seen you or heard of you in all your glorious whiteness and decided that, no, white is not ok.

Trump is still as alive politically as his spiritual leader David Duke. Whether he misuses US troops for a divisive racist publicity stunt to no effect at great public expense has no bearing on the dotard’s standing - low and getting lower every day.

I went to the early polling location at the Bennington-Stoddard Rec Center with my spouse. We walked in and were asked our names. Then they asked for our address. Fran had her voter registration card in hand and glowered at me because I don’t know when I last saw mine.

I gave them my address and they turned the tablet pad for me to sign.

Monday, I’m having surgery on my right elbow to correct cubital tunnel syndrome. Right now I write on my iPad with my right middle finger... can’t use a pen or fork with the right hand.

So I signed left handed. I voted. I never showed ID.

I have NEVER shown an ID and the first vote I cast was for Jimmy Carter.

Acceptance of voter suppression laws by the majority of white people and a significant number of minorities infuriates me.


You have to WANT to believe this shit to buy this Voter ID crap the GOP is slinging.

My wife mailed in her ballot. All she had to do was sign the envelope. You want a system ripe for fraud? Guess why they will never try to suppress that type of voting.

Trump never got behind the "accidental" part.  Rogue (band of 15 hit men) - yes.

And always said, "it's being investigated."

Imagine that - due process.

Still ignoring the truth with all your might.

I provided the Saudi claim and Trump's saying it sounded credible to him: a fist fight was how he died, they said.

You lie and lie, almost as much as the president.
