Title: Ice Cube vs Chris Cuomo

Wow, Cuomo sure is revealing himself in full TDS here.  While Ice Cube is quite rational. Good interview.

Chris Cuomo, Don Lemon, Rachel Maddow, and many others on NBC, CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS. PBS, etc are full blown Trump haters to the extreme.  They are unhinged and irrational.  I don't understand how anyone and I mean anyone can take them seriously.  Including people that are fellow pilots on others aviation websites and otherwise seem have it together.

So now Fredo is black?  As he introduces Ice Cube he says, "Thank you for taking the opportunity, brother."

Yeah, I thought that was a bit condescending too, as well as "cultural appropriation", which liberals are supposed to hate.

And in a related scene, I saw Kamel Harris throwing around words like "Y'all" when addressing a southern crowd.  I'll bet she never ever used that word before unless she was mocking some southern, racist, hillbilly, racist hick.

Yes, that was very jarring.

However, note that some people (e.g., some Christians) will refer to everyone as brother or sister.

Calling someone a brother isn't necessarily a cultural appropriation.

In today's society, it is.  An exception may be made if the person really is closely associated with you in some way, but that didn't apply here.

He calls him brother like they’re buddies and then proceeds to treat him abominably.

Chris: “You’re working with the Trump administration!”

Ice: “That’s misleading. I approached both the Trump and the Biden campaigns. The Biden Campaign said we will get with you after the election, the Trump campaign said we will talk to you now, so we talked to them. If Biden wins the election we will work with Biden. We will work with whoever is in power.”

Chris: “BUT BUT BUT BUT.... YOU PICKED TRUMP!!”

And he goes on to suggest Ice shouldn’t bother to try to work with Trump to improve conditions for blacks in America. And Ice is correctly saying we need to get politics out of it and come together to focus on solving problems and Chris would have none of it.  Disgraceful! Absolutely disgraceful.

That's complete nonsense. 

It would be monumentally bigotted to think that only certain people can refers to others as brother or sister.

Just like it's monumentally bigoted to think that only certain people can freely use the n-word.

I've never seen him refer to anyone else as "brother".  It would be interesting to see him refer to a white person as "brother".  Just as offensive as saying "Hey n-word, whazzup?"

She took lessons from Obama, who seemed to be a student of the Art of Pandering. 

Reminds me of when east coast elitist snob John F. Kerry was campaigning in rural Ohio in the fall of 2004. He walked into a grocery store with his entourage and media in tow, and asked the owner “Can I get me a huntin’ license here?” 

Sickening.

I hate Cheeze Whiz, but when in South Philly, for some reason, I really like it.  Sort of like scrapple.

South Philliy was never a bad area.  It is now highly gentrified so even nicer with real estate prices to match.  It is West and North Philly that are the real problem areas.
