The Republican presidential hopeful compared a Black legislator to the Klan as he suggested a pun on his last name was racist.
In part, that’s because of the new attention paid to the ways in which racism manifests in modern America. What Ramaswamy frames, usefully, as “throwing kerosene” on race might also be presented as an effort to draw attention to systemic disadvantages that non-White Americans face in getting jobs, buying homes or dealing with law enforcement.
Then that guy in Florida had to shoot those people in that store. So, to Bash, Ramaswamy admits there’s anti-Black racism — but blames it on the way White people have purportedly been treated. If there is a throughline from efforts to address systemic racism to gunning down Black shoppers, it seems fair to suggest that perhaps the path includes opportunistic arguments that frame those efforts as attacks on White people and their status.
“For Ayanna Pressley to tell me that, because of my skin color, I can’t express my views, that is wrong. It is divisive. It is driving hatred in this country,” Ramaswamy said. “This is dividing our country to a breaking point.” You may recall that, during the debate, Ramaswamy declared that the country was in a state of “cold cultural civil war.”
“The climate-related death rate, tornadoes, hurricanes, heat waves, it is down by 98 percent over the last century,” Ramaswamy said. “For every 100 people who died of a climate-related disaster in 1920, two die today. And the reason why is more abundant and plentiful access and use of fossil fuels.”thanks to scientists and because we’ve learned better how to build to accommodate extreme weather.
