That's interesting because 18 year old me was a Democrat. But Jimmy Carter cured me of my naive beliefs in the Democrats and Reagan opened my eyes. And Good God, today's Democrats are an order of magnitude worse than the Democrats of the 80s and 90s.
True. Back then you could actually find Dems who loved this country as it IS.
Youi have described the Palestinians.
Blacks are discriminated against with affirmative action programs. I am pleased that President Trump is eliminating affirmative action in government employment. I look forward to its elimination in private employment also.
How many times do I need to post this? The problem poor Negroes face is not that their welfare checks are not generous enough. It is that the U.S. economy is running out of jobs for people of low IQs. There is no future in factory work. To learn a skilled trade, one needs an IQ of at least 80. To be a professional or a manager one needs at least 115, and probably should have 130 or more.

In the bizarro doublespeak world of a progressive liberal up is down and men are women.
18-year-old me was a Democrat. That changed in my 20s when I started paying attention. The more attention I paid, the more conservative I became.
"The Jews".
Stop projecting leftist moral and intellectual failings on normal people.
...says the moron who blames Jews for everything.
There never was an exit strategy to the war on poverty. It's working exactly as intended.How many times do I need to post this?

The War on Poverty After 50 Years
September 15, 2014 14 min read Download Report
In his January 1964 State of the Union address, President Lyndon Johnson proclaimed, “This administration today, here and now, declares unconditional war on poverty in America.” In the 50 years since that time, U.S. taxpayers have spent over $22 trillion on anti-poverty programs. Adjusted for inflation, this spending (which does not include Social Security or Medicare) is three times the cost of all U.S. military wars since the American Revolution. Yet progress against poverty, as measured by the U.S. Census Bureau, has been minimal, and in terms of President Johnson’s main goal of reducing the “causes” rather than the mere “consequences” of poverty, the War on Poverty has failed completely. In fact, a significant portion of the population is now less capable of self-sufficiency than it was when the War on Poverty began.
Key Takeaways
The lack of progress in building self-sufficiency since the beginning of the War on Poverty 50 years ago is due in major part to the welfare system itself.
By breaking down the habits and norms that lead to self-reliance, welfare generates a pattern of increasing intergenerational dependence.
The anti-marriage penalties should be removed from welfare programs, and long-term steps should be taken to rebuild the family in lower-income communities.
The War on Poverty After 50 Years
This week, the U.S. Census Bureau is scheduled to release its annual poverty report. The report will be notable because this year marks the 50th anniversary of the launch of President Lyndon Johnson’s War on Poverty. In his January 1964 State of the Union address, Johnson proclaimed, “This...
It was fought to the tune of trillions of dollars of taxpayer money. The problem is that you can never stamp out poverty, there will always be people who make stupid decisions and/or have no ambition. What people like you ignore is that "poverty" in the USA is a solid middle-class existence in most of the world. With all the governmental programs for the "poor" we have no real poverty, no one starves in the streets, the "poor" have the disposable income for internet and cell phones and most are overweight. I was raised poor and know what it really is, there were many months when the last week of the month we ate beans or mac and cheese out of a box, new clothes were Christmas or birthday presents, most of my normal clothes came from thrift stores. There were no free lunch and breakfast programs in the schools, I brown bagged PeanutButter and jelly every day and drank water for lunch.
JoeB131's criticism of "the Jews" is similar to criticisms I have read in Mein Kampf.
I meant "Blacks are discriminated in favor of with affirmative action programs."
Incorrect. It is sad how much of American history many whites don't know or want to deny.
Why do republicans say such silly s---?
Or racist.
It's always amazing how Marxists can create new meanings for words. Meritocracy is actually the opposite of DEI. You see, Marxists always use lies like there was pervasive racism in hiring before DEI. There is no data to prove that.
Seems like it's still going on? So your "feelz" tell you Black Americans are still being discriminated against? That's nice. Try citing evidence that supports your feelz.
