    Honestly it sounds racist af when people say this
    The majority of black people do tend to vote Democrat
    And by calling them slaves you're insinuating that only a small number of black people, only the conservative minded who think like you, are intelligent enough to form their own political opinions.
    It comes across just as self serving as Democrats who pander to the black vote.

    Honestly I have never met someone in my life who was not white and Republican. I've known some to not agree with the Democratic Socialist ideas I have. But they were outspoken on how uncomfortable Republicans made them. Most of these black men were my team mates. So they came from a upper middle class background with parents who worked hard.

    I know they exist but I think even you will admit that most black people are not right wing. That upsets the right wing which was my point. They need to address what makes the party rotten to this voter. Call them salves if you want but as I said they clearly see something in the left. That's not my call and I don't make them do anything.

    Lol at a hive mind. Of all the people here I think you are quite guilty of that. You have an opinion of ALL people who don't share your opinion and don't seem willing to see a gray area. But I'm sure I've admitted what you wanted me to in my reply.

    Stockholm syndrome is a form of mental enslavement.

    As you once said, people vote against their own best interests all the time.

    Regarding slavery, every race and ethnicity has been enslaved at one point in time.
     
  5. Yea, but, the bill comes to the US from now on. Doesn't matter that in most of human history people were enslaved by people of their own race.

    And it doesn't matter that slavery is still big business in Africa and the Middle East. Nope, Americans practiced the very worst kind of slavery of all time.

    Even though it only lasted about 80s years in the US.

    Okay but this still sounds as self serving as Democrats pandering to the black vote. Speaking in generalities so I dont get too personal... I dont think that anyone who brags about the minority of black votes going to the Republican party really cares about black people, they just care that they can brag to liberals about how diverse their party is becoming lol

    People do vote against their interests, all the time, but i'm kind of a political nerd if you haven't picked up on that lol, and one thing I've learned is that black people are notoriously pragmatic in the way they vote and less likely to vote for empty promises or snazzy campaign slogans, more likely to vote for politicians who have shown their community real results
    Calling them slaves for the way they vote is just kinda fucked up, brah

    Maybe it's like when you see a Mexican Trump voter. It's so confusing why THAT kind of person is not on you side. Yet somehow they are.

    Only black people have the cultural and historical history of slavery in the US. We did not ask the Jews to work the cotton fields. It's still a part of society. And the denial it exists as some sort of white right or personal insight is just not the case. Black people are not slaves but they still deal with examples of mistreatment or assumptions. Racism also still exists. Not to the degree it did but in some people who abuse the the system. It's not hard to be equal but address people who are wrong.

    What have the democrats done to improve the black communities that kept voting for them again and again? Pretty much nothing. Racial relations got worse under Obama. These black communities have gotten progressively worse and worse as they keep voting for the same politicians again and again. Fatherlessness is 74% in the black community compared to the 25% overall. The make up 13% of the country's population, but contribute more than 50% of violent crime, and 37% of all abortions. Don't get me started on Bill Clinton's and Joe Biden's crime bill.

    Lets face it. The democrat party is the party that relies on poverty to exist. That's why they keep spreading so much of it. If we were to take the 14% poverty rate, and turn it into 1.4%, the democrats would need to rethink their branding strategy. They weaponize the existence of destitute and broken people to exploit the sympathy of kind-hearted people like you, so you can support their malicious causes. They need people to be poor and destitute in order to have a viable platform. That's more than kinda fucked up, brah.

    Why is that confusing? Legal Mexican American immigrants have nothing to worry about. In fact, amnesty for illegals is a slap in the face to those Mexicans who came here legally. So yes, it makes total sense that they support Trump.

    And the only solutions I ever hear from you about resolving the racism problem in this country is to push for more discrimination against white people. How the hell do you kill racism by adding more of it?

  12. That's simple, by insisting that some people can't even BE racists. It literally doubles the potential for racism to exist in its worst forms forever in the US.

    Until people realize that ANY human being can be a racist, regardless of color, the problem will remain.

    However, anyone who thinks racism will ever end, is pushing a rope.

  13. I think most people just want to believe they have a good idea of what the USA is. But it brings to mind so many different scenes. Scenes that lacked domestication, when people had to stick together or die. Scenes of warfare in the jungles of Vietnam. Scenes of landing us on the moon while, in the eyes of other nations, we are nothing but a bully, telling everyone on Earth what to do. And now our allies have lost respect for us as well.

    One should hope they're kinder than we are.
     
  14. And look at us all, just bickering, and you honestly think we're the envy of the world? All soap operas get old after a while, honey. In a foreign land, after a while they just turn off their TV sets and it all goes away. You think they're all so stupid that they're just like, "Oh gee honey, look, it's USA FIGHTS again."

    Let's call a spade a spade. The problem is that there are sociopaths among us who just want to be as big and tough and threatening as possible. The details of their lives shouldn't matter that much. We try to inspect their lives for quality, but they have no consideration for that.

    I dont even feel like unpacking this, I'm not a Democrat so I have no reason to argue in their defense and also, no one is exploiting my kind heartedness lol. I usually vote 3rd party as a "protest" vote, not that it makes a difference

    But my point is, using black people as political pawns is a shitty thing to do for both parties. And so what you're doing here isnt really any better than what Democrats do.

    It's confusing considering his pro-white views. Which is why it's likely most people you see in these photo ops are paid. If one side can say anything they don't like is fake we all can. And there is some evidence showing this.

    If you take what I said as attacking white people I don't know what to say except you are part of the problem. I'm white so if you think I have anti-white views I can't help you.

    And what is your idea? To say racism is over and you know it as a white man. That does not seem to work either.

    Pretty shabby, brah.. Testing another logical fallacy--this time the fallacy of "false cause"? fallacy of false cause examples - Yahoo Video Search Results Just because poverty continues or increases under one party or another doesn't mean that either party is necessarily responsible. Both parties are fully capable of using grievances of any group they can to get themselves re-elected, but since Nixon's "Southern Strategy", Republicans have been particularly egregious in exploiting white fears of African-Americans, putting down a group that's been the most loyal component of the Democrat voting bloc, and catering to the interests of the 1% and white suburbanites at the expense of people of color..To suggest that Democrats deliberately create or perpetuate poverty for political gain is fake news at its worst and totally despicable. You should know better.
