Grand Kleagle Hector strikes again. You have to wonder what awful thing happened to him.
You have a marvelous ability to disregard facts that conflict with what you want to believe. When have I ever said anything good about the Republican Party or Trump?
Given your hate for black people you express again and again, it's hard to believe that you could have ever voted for Obama.
I have never had to work with a white "idiot nephew." I have had to work with black beneficiaries of affirmative action whose incompetence was obvious to everyone.
Really, then you must have worked pretty menial jobs. Post military, I think I've worked with maybe 14 black people in departments I've worked in.
Only two I had questions about. One was a gentleman who seemed okay at his job, but I think he was schizophrenic and about a year in, his meds weren't working anymore. He was confronted about his odd behavior and quit.
The other is the individual I discussed who got the full time gig when I was working as a contractor. She really was incompetent, and I think that there was some AA going on there. But there were also some office politics involved - i.e. if they hired one of the contractors to fill that spot, they wouldn't replace the contractor and head count would be down one for the department. Some real Dilbert shit going on at this place, and I'm better off I didn't get the job.
The other 12 were perfectly good at their jobs, and did them reasonably well.
On the other hand, I have worked with at least half a dozen people I classify under "Idiot Nephews" - i.e. people who were related to the boss, sleeping with the boss, or friends with the boss. Those people are FAR worse to work with, because they are sacred cows in the workplace.
We gave Negroes equal rights, then greater than equal rights with affirmative action. They reward us by burning down stuff.
Except AA did no such thing, and again, all we did was find new ways to be awful. If our stuff gets burned down, it's because we allow the inequities to exist at all.
The last series of black ghetto riots happened from 1964 to 1968. The immediate result was the election of Richard Nixon when the War in Vietnam was finally becoming unpopular. He was re elected in a landslide because there were no black ghetto riots of any significance during his first term.
Wow, you see, this is how I know you aren't as old as you claim to be. First, you forget about the riots in 1992 and 2020, both of which really helped the Democrats. Secondly, Nixon barely snuck in because Wallace and Humphrey divided the Democratic vote. In 1972, Nixon was re-elected because McGovern was an awful candidate, but most of the country had no problem when he was forced to resign two years later.
Ronald Reagan openly appealed to anti black hostility. He was also rewarded by being re elected by a landslide, despite the fact that I voted against him in 1980 and 1984, just as I earlier voted against Nixon in 1968 and 1972.
Nobody believes you were alive for any of these elections... But you have a point, Reagan did appeal to racism to get stupid white people to vote against their own economic interests... but that strategy is producing diminishing returns as more people of color vote, and more white people get their heads on right about race relations.
I give Reagan credit for two things: he cut welfare spending for blacks; he appointed tough law and order judges who increased the incarceration rate for black criminals.
Except Reagan didn't cut anything, that's why the National Debt Tripled on his watch. More people actually REQUIRED assistance because he did so much damage to the middle class. If you had been around then, you'd know this.
And the Prison-Industrial Complex/War on Drugs has been a blight on this country. Putting people in prison for minor crimes turns them into career criminals. The "law and order" policies actually makes our crime problems worse, not better. What caused a decline in the crime rate in the 1990's was that the Boomers aged out of the "young and dumb" phase.
If blacks keep looting and burning stores whenever a black criminal is killed at the scene of his most recent crime, I predict that most whites, Orientals, and Hispanics will get tired of hearing excuses for those people. The assertions of Charles Murray, Jared Taylor, and Professor's J. Philippe Rushton and Arthur Jensen will become the national consensus as they were before the Second World War. The truth cannot be suppressed forever.
Wow, you have a vivid imagination, don't you? Here's how you can tell your appeal to racism will not play in the long run. The Big Corporations that used to be on the train under Nixon and Ray-gun are the ones that supported BLM, and create all these commercials with black actors in them. I'll bet it steams you when you see a commercial with an interracial couple, doesn't it, Grand Kleagle?
Reconstruction was ended in 1876 because Northern whites became disgusted with the incompetence and corruption of black run governments in the South. The Supreme Court cooperated by ignoring the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendment's. Few whites anywhere in the United States complained, because blacks had demonstrated what they did with political power.
So, you are ignorant of history, aren't you? Reconstruction ended because Hayes sold them out, period. It shows why you should never put someone in office after he loses the popular vote, something we didn't learn with Bush and Trump.
