Injustice come in every color, pick one! Want a united country stop the class warfare. When we congregate for entertainment stop the racist bullshit.

These hypocrites have painted an entire demographic, millions of white Americans as racists and white supremacists based on the history and actions of white southern Democrats in decades past. They forget it was Northern white people who invaded the South and crushed their evil racist system and then spent decades after calling out, legislating against, and shaming the surviving vestiges of their racism, but in the Democrat Party of today, it still exists in a modified more comprehensive form that again threatens the peace ad tranquility of the nation.

If blacks want their own national anthem... they need their own nation to go with it. I suggest carving out a chunk of Africa, where their 10 point IQ advantage over sub-Saharan blacks who never left... should give them a significant advantage.

Playing or singing a black national anthem at a sporting event is in your face bigotry. We are a people united under one flag, one nation equal under God. We are all equal regardless of pigmentation, religious belief, ideology, culture, ethnicity or ancestry. It's these fucking white/black poor excuse elitist intellectuals who are pushing this racist, systemic racism bullshit. I'm not getting on bended knee to kiss any races ass. Do we have our problems, inadequacies! of course! no country bounces along through time without problems. There is a sub culture in these United States that insist on continuously tearing the scab off a wound, are not the least interested in healing, these would be (RACE BAITERS).

Comments like yours doesn't reflect middle america.

Define bigotry

Sure is. Here’s a whole bunch of bigots singing it.

 

[AlexBailey]

What’s your definition of justice? if everyone took care of their own shit and minded their own business things would fall into place.

This is your flaw and it’s proven to be bullshit.

When you leave everyone to “take care of their own shit” many people hoard. Not everyone, just the selfish ‘me first’ opportunist pricks who consider themselves above everyone and everything else. “Grab it for yourself before someone else can”

Regulations and laws are needed to protect ‘the general welfare” from assholes like you.

More third grade name calling. Do you actually believe name calling supports your argument?

I never, even remotely, implied we don't need laws, regulations and social programs. What we don't need is to expand government more than what it is, e.g., where in the constitution does it state that the government is granted the authority to pay a citizen's debt at the expense of another citizen?

Easier just to stay here and continue carving chunks out of what they already built.

shouldn't be too hard with the IQ ratios of these lightbulbs all over the country:

That plus the Southern strategy of Republicans in more recent decades. The cold, hard truth is just because we eventually defeated Jim Crow doesn't mean racism is dead. There is still work to do. At worst, the left is guilty of an unfortunate overreaction to that.

More like one decade after, Reichguide. Once the Republicans secured the presidency with the Compromise of 1877, they didn't really lift a finger against racism ever again. The best you could say about them from 1877-1963 is that they were the lesser of two evils on racial issues.

but in the Democrat Party of today, it still exists in a modified more comprehensive form that again threatens the peace ad tranquility of the nation.

[dkovic77]

That’s it, it’s a conundrum, they just keep hoping that their politicians will give them what they were promised. They’re slowly waking up and changing the way they vote. Your racist rants are getting old. People like you will always find racism behind every tree. You’re a race bater, you do more harm than good. You live in the past and you will always have an argument because you can’t change the past. It takes courage to lick your wounds and move on, makes things better.

No, you don’t got it!

More delusional useless arguments. More people vote today than in any other time. White male landowners? What You live in the eighteenth century?

Discounting? You need psychiatric care.

More delusional banter.

The constitution is the law of the land for all. My people?? Non-sequitur and incoherent argument. Take a pill.

As you can’t comprehend things it doesn’t make them unclear or incorrect.

Maybe that’s why your clearance doesn’t exist any longer? You can’t handle complex things- which is why you go for low level things.

 

[dkovic77]

Ya know me having a clearance should tell you something. I served in uniform and I was proud of it. You’re an irrelevant clown consumed with self importance lacking self awareness.

Oh, what uniform?

They have uniforms at McDonald’s…

You had a clearance tells me someone made a big mistake. But thankfully that seems to be corrected.

You said “If everyone took care of their own shit and minded their own business things would fall into place.”

Where do laws and regulations fall into that?

You were speaking in absolutes, like a third grader, and left no loopholes, now you’re backpedaling.

“Just leave everyone alone and everything will work itself out” is the libertarian pipe dream and has become a MAGA theme.

*chuckle* And for decades the black community sold their souls to the democrat party and what did they get for it? That was a rhetorical question, they got 'soft slavery.' In the black community they remained largely uneducated and given just enough on the government dole to keep them in poverty but not starved. Their circumstances have changed little since the days of slavery when you look at the stark reality.

The good news is that more and more blacks, and Latins, are shunning the race baiter's and understanding that the key is a real education and hard work. They are leaving the plantation and being shunned by their own community only to find that they are being embraced and helped by the very people they were told were their 'oppressor's.' It's a refreshing thing to observe.

Lol, now that “the libs” have opened public schools and higher education, minorities are able to buy into the “I got mine” and become conservatives - Like Clarence Thomas.

Of course conservatives love using successful minorities to show how “anyone can do it if they work hard enough.” Do you deny there are still MAGAs who don’t want minorities to be part of American society?

Now DeSantis types don’t want the history of the struggle to be recognized, much less taught.

We are painting an entire demographic as bigots of all stripes based on every significant move since Obama looked like he might get the the nomination. Nobody forgets what the North did even though you're pretending they did it on behalf of black people when they did not. You are the one who is threatening whatever tranquility our nation has which isn't a whole lot.

 

[YDB95]

*chuckle* And for decades the black community sold their souls to the democrat party and what did they get for it? That was a rhetorical question, they got 'soft slavery.'

Did they "sell their souls" to the Democrats, or did they simply vote against the party that has largely built its entire appeal on resentment of them? I can honestly say I can't recall any of my Black friends ever saying they loved everything about the Democratic Party; it was simply that there was no other plausible choice. Which is more or less how I feel too (and I'm white). The Dems as a whole are nothing like I wish they were, but it's either them or the party that literally hates everything I support and vice versa.

In the black community they remained largely uneducated and given just enough on the government dole to keep them in poverty but not starved. Their circumstances have changed little since the days of slavery when you look at the stark reality.

You make an excellent case for a more robust social safety net. I'm sure I don't need to remind you which party has been doing its best to destroy our safety net, though.

The good news is that more and more blacks, and Latins, are shunning the race baiter's and understanding that the key is a real education and hard work.

Or is it affordable education and a living wage? Again, you don't need me to tell you which party is on the poor's side in that battle.

They are leaving the plantation and being shunned by their own community only to find that they are being embraced and helped by the very people they were told were their 'oppressor's.' It's a refreshing thing to observe.

The sad thing is, I can almost believe you really believe this. Almost.

Not much, but we did not get soft slavery. You know what else we didn't get from the Dems? A war on drugs, a decreased social net that very intentionally broke up the family unit. The largely uneducated is a side effect of the destruction of the family unit. When a man leaves the house or worse goes to jail there are boys who feel the need to be the the man of the house. The fact that you think our circumstances have changed little since the days of slavery shows exactly how little of black history you have study. This is one of the reasons why what you consider CRT absolutely must be taught. Literally every time African Americans got their feet beneath them it was taken away.

Education that Republicans are really doing a bang up job of trying to put out of reach. Hard work hardly works and we're gonna have to stop drilling that nonsense into the the heads of anybody over the age of 16. Yes there is a certain amount of shunning some deserved some not but this whole leaving the plantation isn't even coded language. That's just blatant how can I prove I'm racist without saying it out loud. Since the the early 2000s we've heard minorities were leaving the Dems. Funny thing. Two groups were leaving in pretty large numbers. Muslims and Hispanics but then you guys made absolutely no qualms about not wanting them.

 

[Chobham]

Last first, I do. All you have to do is look around. Talk to some folks. The blacks that turn their backs on black culture and the Latins that turn their back on Latin culture are prospering. The Asian's are unique in that the emphasis on education was already in their culture, they could preserve their culture and prosper as well. There's a lesson there.

Yes they did sell their souls to the democrats. The party that gave them "money for nothing more than their vote." And while they achieved no appreciable gains they were told it was all the fault of the "white guy." There was enough historical basis for that notion, both Northern whites and Southern, the realization that that was merely a crutch, an excuse, to explain their own lot in life rather than realize that they could make a new future with the proper tools, education, never seemed to dawn on them. Meanwhile the democrat party callously manipulated them. The democrat party via it's policies of 'soft bigotry' has managed to keep the black man on THEIR plantation. As Dylan once said, "The times they are a changing."

Up through high school all education is affordable. And an interesting point here is that the black community is overwhelmingly in favor of school voucher systems. Innately the community seems to understand that education is the key. Which party, and their minions, have steadfastly opposed any such policies? And why? And the "Why" is the BIG question here. When it comes to Univ. we're talking a whole different ball game. The student loan program is a debt trap. NO Univ. comptroller doesn't understand the law a supply and demand and further they are NOT going to leave any money on the table. It is their job to make sure they get as much money as possible and the more the government makes available, well, the more the institution receives. And if the Univ. allows black, woman, native American, lbgtqrstv, or whatever "studies" courses, courses that have no practical value in the real world, and they can charge umpty ump per credit hour, and some morons sign up for them, well, that's the way the world goes 'round.

Exactly what's a "living wage" and what jobs qualify for that wage? And who gets to decide? The worker, the government, who? And before you go off on that I fully understand statistics. I know that a "living wage' in NYC is quite different than a "living wage" in Kearney Nebraska. Is it any wonder that the uneducated, unskilled, unhealthy, illegals are making a beeline to the big cities with minimum wage laws and ample benefits? And I don't suppose that it ever occurred to you that that too is a driver of inflation.

I don't deny that blacks and Latinos who turn their back on their own get ostracized, though that's not really about politics. The ones who are politically opposed are only harming themselves and there is a very good reason to give them a boat load of shit for making things worse for the community.

It dawned on us that education and the proper tools could set us free, but the Republicans very actively do their best to deny us access to those things. It really would be a shame if the African Americans actually started making any real progress. Also there is no such animal as soft bigotry only bigotry. Not gonna claim the Dems are perfect but Republicans are openly hostile.

School Vouchers are one of the tools Republicans are using to keep the community down. Its not the only one but its the most open, obvious and difficult to deny. The Republicans are the party that has done everything they can to keep education not just out of the hands of minorities but increasingly of white. Let tell you one party is banning books, one is not.

The studies you are saying have no practical application really applies to anything outside STEM and not even all of STEM. The reason you are opposed to those studies is the more people understand the story of how we got here the more we collectively realize that MAJOR changes must be made to our culture. Only an ignorant mind could be impressed with this drivel.

Ultimately the government is the only entity in a position to decide what a living wage is. No one else is in a position where the decision could be made with any amount of accuracy. Actually the reason illegals flock to big cities is because we have jobs not because of the wages they will never even approach. They get no benefits because they can't sign up for them.

Does it help drive inflation. Probably not if we're not lying PoS. To a large part inflation is essentially a force of nature. What's worse is if it hold still that's not terrible. Deflation, where your money is worth more is a sign your economy is in deep, deep shit. Like you don't want any of that. Immigrants legal or otherwise is actually a separate discussion if we start going down that rabbit hole we'll be writing fucking novels.

 

[YDB95]

Last first, I do. All you have to do is look around. Talk to some folks. The blacks that turn their backs on black culture and the Latins that turn their back on Latin culture are prospering.

Black and Latin culture do not entail disregarding education. And it's more than a little bit racist to suggest they do, but you don't seem to care about that.

The Asian's are unique in that the emphasis on education was already in their culture, they could preserve their culture and prosper as well. There's a lesson there.

In most parts of the country, the lesson is that they arrived in large numbers after redlining was made illegal, so it was much easier for them to settle in neighborhoods with decent schools.

Yes they did sell their souls to the democrats. The party that gave them "money for nothing more than their vote."

Since you put quotation marks around those words, perhaps you'd like to tell us who it is you're quoting. I'm betting it's someone like Clarence Thomas, but by all means prove me wrong.

And while they achieved no appreciable gains they were told it was all the fault of the "white guy."

That's oversimplifying, but the reality is that we never have fully addressed the effects of slavery and Jim Crow. So yes, there is a lot of anger out there, and the Republicans have spent the past 55 years stirring up white fear of that anger to attract their votes. THAT is why most Blacks vote Democratic, not because of anything the Dems have done one way or the other.

There was enough historical basis for that notion, both Northern whites and Southern, the realization that that was merely a crutch, an excuse, to explain their own lot in life rather than realize that they could make a new future with the proper tools, education, never seemed to dawn on them.

You keep referring to education as a silver bullet. Do you have ANY idea what condition most public schools in Black neighborhoods are in, and have been in for decades?

Meanwhile the democrat party callously manipulated them. The democrat party via it's policies of 'soft bigotry' has managed to keep the black man on THEIR plantation. As Dylan once said, "The times they are a changing."

The same Dylan who wrote "The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll" and "Hurricane", and who performed at the March on Washington? Um, whose side do you suppose he's on?

Up through high school all education is affordable. And an interesting point here is that the black community is overwhelmingly in favor of school voucher systems. Innately the community seems to understand that education is the key. Which party, and their minions, have steadfastly opposed any such policies?

Cute, real cute. But you're missing volumes of context here, starting with the fact that vouchers sound wonderful on paper, but the reality is they're a drop in the bucket for tuition at most private schools. Secondly, it makes perfect sense that any opportunity to get their kids out of decrepit, violence-ridden public schools would look wonderful. Third, Democrats oppose vouchers because we know the real goal is to encourage more white parents to send their kids to private Christian academies where they can teach that the world is only 6,000 years old, not to keep Black kids down.

And why? And the "Why" is the BIG question here.

Yes, and I've just answered it.

When it comes to Univ. we're talking a whole different ball game. The student loan program is a debt trap. NO Univ. comptroller doesn't understand the law a supply and demand and further they are NOT going to leave any money on the table. It is their job to make sure they get as much money as possible and the more the government makes available, well, the more the institution receives. And if the Univ. allows black, woman, native American, lbgtqrstv, or whatever "studies" courses, courses that have no practical value in the real world, and they can charge umpty ump per credit hour, and some morons sign up for them, well, that's the way the world goes 'round.

Then it's a good thing those majors only account for a fraction of a percent of all degrees granted in a given year, now isn't it?

Exactly what's a "living wage" and what jobs qualify for that wage?

It's a wage on which you can afford to feed and house yourself, and all full-time jobs should qualify for it.

And who gets to decide? The worker, the government, who?

I note without surprise that even you don't dare suggest the CEO or the shift boss ought to be the one. This kind of thing is what the government is for, honestly.

Is it any wonder that the uneducated, unskilled, unhealthy, illegals are making a beeline to the big cities with minimum wage laws and ample benefits?

Is it any wonder that you make that claim without backing it up with anything whatsoever? In any event, if you want to put a stop to illegal immigration, the thing to do is crack down on employers who are willing to employ them under the table. And that's mostly rural, agricultural jobs that no American wants. (Of course, with a living wage law...but we're talking red states here.)

And I don't suppose that it ever occurred to you that that too is a driver of inflation.

Anything that puts more money in the hands of more people who need it is a driver of inflation. There are more important things than whether a gallon of gas costs a few cents more than last week. The ability of all Americans to earn a decent living is one of those things.

 

[Pad_Foot]

If blacks want their own national anthem... they need their own nation to go with it. I suggest carving out a chunk of Africa, where their 10 point IQ advantage over sub-Saharan blacks who never left... should give them a significant advantage.

Hmm? You mean like Liberia??
One of three countries holding on to the far inferior Imperial Measurement system

You do realize that most African-American roots predate your immigrant roots. I know they predate 1/2 my first generation roots.

Go look up loans and home purchases in America, if you want a glimmer of the racist history they still face. Or shiver in fear that they are accusing you personally of anything.

Two tier justice ? Yeah? Agreed. Find a case where a judge was asked to recuse themselves? Or where a case was even moved on any grounds? Me? Never until Trump
