Can you articulate exactly what a Black American Conservative is selling out?You're the kind of racist Booker T Washington spoke about. You probably never heard of him.The fact that Trump rented apartments to people of all races, including hundreds of blacks, completely destroys any argument that he was denying people housing because of their race.Instead of watching a video which can be edited to represent just about any point of view (not saying that this is the case with the video posted here because I haven't watched it) maybe the people who believe Trump is a racist are basing their opinions on the totality of his record such as follows, particulary the case brought and settled against him and his father for housing discrimination:
Donald Trump’s long history of racism, from the 1970s to 2019
And for the record although I'm not an attorney, my understanding of a consent decree or settlement in a government case is that the named parties agree to settle rather than going to court. Why they choose this option could be for a lot of different reasons but I have not looked at this case in a while and dont' remember offhand the facts surrounding it, other than Trump always brings up that they settled with no admittance of guilt, however than language is standard to these agreements and basically means that no future actions can be taken based only on the settlement (case).
Trump was refusing to rent to people on welfare, not refusing to rent to people based on their race.
That is certainly not an indication that he is a racist.
The fact is that trump denied blacks the opportunity to live there. His own leasing agents said so. He was busted by the Nixon DOJ and Nixon was no friend of blacks. That's how blatant his discrimination was. Repeating what trump said to excuse this is weak. Trump is a racist and pictures taken with famous blacks don't change that. When I was in college, the Pan Am basketball team trained at our university. Whites who were stone-cold racists rushed to take pictures and get autographs from the likes of Michael Jordan and Patrick Ewing. As a college athlete, racists kissed my ass on a regular basis because they thought it was cool to hang out with an athlete. So you gotta do better than pictures and videos from sellouts.
"There is a class of colored people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs-partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs." Booker T Washington
I'm black and never heard of Booker T. Washington. LOL! And you really think that I give a damn about a black man so dumb as to make such a comment in those times? All you racists do is try pointing out shit from blacks that agree with your views then try telling us how we should be sellouts so you can keep doing what you want.
It's pretty simple. The entire best interest of black people in America. You post up Booker T. Washingtons comment in a time where the courts decided that segregation of blacks and whites would be the law and blacks had no real rights under the law. So here comes Washington telling white people that the blacks complaining about what was happening to them were just doing so to have a job. In light of the reality that Washington faced, that was a boldfaced lie. Todays black conservatives tell you guys the same lies. And just like then, when there where actually whites that believed blacks were happy as slaves, we get whites like you who belive racism doesn't happen to blacks because of the lies of black conservatives.
We did not get the right to vote, equal rights or equal opportunities because of the Booker T Washington plan. We did not get civil rights by doing what Booker T wanted done. This is what some black conservatives need to understand. Appeasing and going along with the whites who are racists hoping that changes them DOES NOT WORK! Washington’s plan did not work for one major reason. Ta-Nehisi Coates points this out in his 2009 article, “The Tragedy And Betrayal Of Booker T. Washington.”
“The dominant logic of the post-Reconstruction era held that the real problem wasn't white racists, but carpetbaggers and meddlers from up North who'd elevated illiterate blacks above their station. The white Southerner, presumably, had no existential objection to blacks, they just didn't want to live next door to them or have an illiterate and morally degenerate population electing their politicians. To this Washington, and much of black America, said Fine. Cease fire. You let us be, we'll let you be.”
His idea or plan did not work out because he dismissed one essential truth. Southern Whites hated blacks.
You guys gladly point us to sellouts like Washington and denounce men like Dubious, Garvey and others who said we must organize and fight for our equality. That in itself is what conservatism is supposed to stand for according to every white racist in this motherfucker including you. That is, don't depend on the government for anything, do for self. But when we stand for self, punks like you want to discredit us and then point to mealy mouthed faggot black conservatives who say lets sit and wait and one day if we just be quiet, everything will be all right. Fuck that, it doesn't work.
