The House Republicans are holding their annual winter retreat in quaint tourist village Williamsburg, Virginia, this weekend in order to recuperate and prepare for upcoming legislative battles. Besides partaking in discussions about the debt ceiling and gun restrictions, GOP congressmen and women will also be getting schooled in the fine art of how to have "successful communication with minorities and women."
One might presume that people elected to high office in America have at least a general understanding of how to talk to and about minorities and women without saying unimaginably offensive things, but one would be wrong. Far too many Republicans have a remarkable way of saying the absolutely worst thing time and again about everything from ? to Kwanzaa. Sadly, a lesson about why it's wrong to equivocate about a woman being ? or why it's not a great idea to make all your House committee chairs white men is exactly what the GOP needs.
And what better place to talk about making inroads with oppressed groups than in a room named after a famous Williamsburg plantation, located in the tony Kingsmill Resort, which itself is on the site of another plantation? The GOP has heard your complaints, blacks and Latinos and women, and they're going to try to suss it out while sitting atop dead slave bones.

They can use whatever method that comes to mind, it won't matter. Rich old white men will never be able to see eye to eye with minorities. Their place of meeting sums up the their attitude towards minorities and sideways ? they love to pull.
”It wasn't meant to offend anyone”
It never is but always does. Coincidence? No. -
This ? is so hilarious its sad.. actin like they are communicating with otherworldly beings or some ?

I do the same as well.

The irony of that is kinda funny. But it'll never work, rich old white men and the majority of minorities have nothing in common and nothing to talk about. Compromise is a nice dream to have, but its more elusive than the winning lotto ticket.
Old white men and their ideology are becoming extinct, they're a dying breed. -

Good and when my grandkids are born, they should be a thing of the past.
