It's not. Mine comes from the personal experience of being a black person with black friends and family and yours is supposition and correlation desperately wishing it was causation.
Sure it was.... lets see one of these videos....
The videos you just made up in your imagination?
No it's republicans. Third Way did an excellent study of comparing democratic and republic districts of similar wealth and income and demographics and found that Republican ones produced poorer health, economic opportunity but more crime.
Third Way
I don't think a 10 to 1 wealth gap between white and black families and socio-economic disparities in home ownership represents the same opportunities.
The electoral college for one. It was designed to protect slave states.
You can say but as you can see that isn't a convincing argument to the vast majority of black voters.
That rhetoric is empty and unconvincing to me. I don't owe anyone my vote. Republicans are going to have to come and earn it.
Again, you aren't saying much of anything specific. It wasn't taxes that created the 10 to 1 wealth gap, it was injustice. What are the Republican plans to see that Black Americans receive the justice they deserve?
I would like the government to give reparations to victims on racial and economic injustice.
We don't live in a merit based society, that notion doesn't even make any objective sense.
Reparations. That's my thought on it.
That's not what I think. You just made that up.
And adult black voters are so weak willed that you think name calling is enough to switch their votes? I don't have any problem with you thinking that poorly if would be black republicans, I just find it an amusing admission.
I will always encourage my daughter to be true to her beliefs. Having to live a life of pretend is the fate I laugh at white racists for being forced to live I would never do that to someone I love. Also again this anger you think I have for black republicans is imaginary. I find MAGAts to be amusing more than anything if she did come into the house genuinely wearing a MAGA hat I'd probably wouldn't troll her as thoroughly I do my two actual MAGA relatives but I'd probably have some fun with it.
I don't know what this stupid premise of yours is. I don't even know what you mean by racial experience. I go by history and the things Republicans themselves do and claim. White southern conservatives seceded and went to war to protect slavery. After the war they terrorized black people under Jim Crow and 65 years ago when black equality was put to a vote the entire former Confederate conservative south, both republican and democratic representatives of those States voted against equality. Today republican legislatures and justices fight against the protections of the Voting Rights act, they attack the LGTBQ community at every turn and the still celebrate Confederates day and Robert E Lee day on MLK jr.'s birthday and holiday. You're trash people.
I don't care what you hear you dumb Simp. Are you trying to win your own vote or our vote? You have to address our concerns and what we see and hear.
Privatization of public school and social security. Cutting of welfare programs, more tax cuts for the rich, no gun control, no regulations in corporations.... yeah, those policies aren't appealing to me.
It proves my point you moron. Not even my impressionable young daughter is moved by social pressure. If anyone would be it would be younger voters but they vote the least.
Mine comes from the personal experience of being a black person with black friends and family and yours is supposition and correlation desperately wishing it was causation.
Ok, what examples of racism have you personally experienced? Do you think that 90% of the black community has had experiences that would sour them on republicans? Really? 90%? Like I said before, with 35 million black Americans in the country, if that were the case, we’d see open and brazen examples of racism daily…yet most republicans don’t even think about race..until we run into forums like this…
I don't think a 10 to 1 wealth gap between white and black families and socio-economic disparities in home ownership represents the same opportunities.
Ok, and you think that the wealth gap is solely the fault of republicans?
The electoral college for one. It was designed to protect slave states.
And slavery is gone, every one has an equal vote now, so what remains is a policy to give smaller states some kind of voice in how our government operates. You also forget, each state has electoral votes based on the number of representatives and senators they have, so smaller states have smaller electoral votes. So in essence, it IS proportional, it’s just that, since republicans control a majority of states, all those little electoral votes add up.
We do not live in a democracy, we live in a representative republic, it was never intended for majority rule. What you are suggesting is to take away any voice smaller states would have, and allow a handful of states to be the controlling interest in the entire country.
However, the cotus that you hate so much gave us a way to change it. The amendment process or a convention of states. If you want to change things, get your legislators to start the process.
That rhetoric is empty and unconvincing to me. I don't owe anyone my vote. Republicans are going to have to come and earn it.
And how would they do that? If they passed a reparations bill, would you start voting Republican?
What are the Republican plans to see that Black Americans receive the justice they deserve?
What are the democrats plans? Why are they dragging their feet? Hell, newsome has a reparations bill ready to go! I think Indiana does as well, what are they waiting for? You want to fault the right for not doing their part, when the left already has the bills waiting to be signed…and the democratic governors are dragging their feet.
How long as there been a reparations commission in the house? Where are they at? What are their proposals?
I would like the government to give reparations to victims on racial and economic injustice.
We’ve been down this road. So you say you want the government to provide reparations, but you have no thoughts on what those reparations would look like.
Also, I’ve agreed that black peoples have been wronged, but the question on the table seems to be, should we make every black person in America multi millionaires by giving them checks for millions of dollars, free homes, no taxes etc.. I think that’s not the right way to go about it…
I’ve asked before and I’ll ask again, what do you think reparations should be?
We don't live in a merit based society, that notion doesn't even make any objective sense.
Sure we do…if you don’t work…you don’t make money…the harder you work, the more you make…the more you apply yourself, you get raises and climb the ladder..that seems like a merit based society to me.
And adult black voters are so weak willed that you think name calling is enough to switch their votes? I don't have any problem with you thinking that poorly if would be black republicans, I just find it an amusing admission.
And yet again, you mischaracterize my thoughts on this. For some reason you seem to keep coming back to “you think blacks can’t think for themselves” which isn’t what I said, nor insinuated. I said that social pressure can affect how they vote, and we’ve seen examples of social pressure from IM2, and family history can influence people. How you grow up, what you are taught, what is expected of you, all play a part in how you do things, voting included. This affects all people, black and white. Nobody is immune from outside influence.
Having to live a life of pretend is the fate I laugh at white racists for being forced to live
Yeah, and we can see that you kind of just assume a lot of stuff. You seem to be in the group that anyone who disagrees with you is racist. Look at our discussion…I’ve not said anything racist, I’ve just given you my opinion based on things I see…but you can’t help yourself…everything HAS to be racist.
Its ok..have your opinion..I hear these same tropes every time I turn on the progressive radio channel. Seems to be a fairly predictable pattern amongst leftists.
if she did come into the house genuinely wearing a MAGA hat I'd probably wouldn't troll her as thoroughly I do my two actual MAGA relatives but I'd probably have some fun with it.
Thanks! There that social pressure…relatives voting for someone like Trump and you feel you need to razz them for it…you just admitted what I’ve been saying…social pressure!
I don't know what this stupid premise of yours is. I don't even know what you mean by racial experience. I go by history and the things Republicans themselves do and claim. White southern conservatives seceded and went to war to protect slavery. After the war they terrorized black people under Jim Crow and 65 years ago when black equality was put to a vote the entire former Confederate conservative south, both republican and democratic representatives of those States voted against equality.
yep, the U.S. has a bad history and I’m at least glad you admit that both repubs and dems had a hand in that evil, but that was then, this is 2024..it’s not the same country.
Today republican legislatures and justices fight against the protections of the Voting Rights act
Show me states trying to prevent black people from voting, and I don’t mean your assumed ideas, I mean show me the legislation where they are trying to stop black peoples from voting? Oh, you mean voter ID? Purging voter rolls? That’s to make sure illegals are not being registered to vote..and has nothing to do with trying to prevent any legal eligible American citizen from voting.
they attack the LGTBQ community at every turn
Do they? I mean, the religious crowd certainly believes that being gay is a sin, but where are they attacking the lgbtq crowd? You mean trans people performing for young children wearing burlesque type clothing and dancing seductively? You mean pride parades where people are half naked..and sometimes actually naked when there are children there? Yeah..I think all people should be against that. You mean the lefts crazy desire to transition teenagers? Allowing them to make potentially life altering changes to their bodies? Adults allowing them to take hormones and puberty blockers and holding up natural development? Uh..yeah..how about we wait until they are of an age where they know what is going on with themselves. You do realize kids go through phases..right? Just because boy has a phase where he is interested in dolls doesn’t mean he’s gay..or thinks he’s a woman…
nd the still celebrate Confederates day and Robert E Lee day on MLK jr.'s birthday and holiday
MLK birthday was Jan 15th, his holiday is the 3rd Monday on January so the date changes but it’s in January
A couple of states observe a confederate day later in the year…and whoever celebrates Robert e Lee day does it on January 19. So, the dates are not on his birthday.
I don't care what you hear you dumb Simp. Are you trying to win your own vote or our vote? You have to address our concerns and what we see and hear.
Of course you don’t, you care not to acknowledge the fact that the hate and division is mostly spread by your side. And the response was about the influence of liberal talk radio, which pumps lies and hate into the minds of the listeners on a daily basis
Privatization of public school and social security. Cutting of welfare programs, more tax cuts for the rich, no gun control, no regulations in corporations.... yeah, those policies aren't appealing to me.
Great, then you can be supportive of a government schools where they are trying to indoctrinate kids. I imagine you’d be quite opposed if the schools were teaching a republican value based system, wouldn’t you. But because they all seem to be pretty liberalized, you’re fine with it.
They are asking for cuts to some welfare programs, this is true, but there is a bit of waste in the programs, but I’ll digress as I’ve not really read up on the reasons why they are asking for cuts.
Gun control? We have lots of gun control..there are many regulations and laws on guns. If you buy a gun from a dealer, you have to go through a federal background check. Are you wanting to ban guns? Again, we have a process for changing the cotus. Pressure your congressmen to amend the cotus or get a convention of states and you can rewrite the 2A however you like.
In the meantime, if you are that adamant about gun control, you can start by encouraging all of your democrat friends to surrender their firearms to the local sheriffs office. Gotta start somewhere, might as well start in a place you have the most influence.
What more regulation would you like on corporations? Industry is already over regulated, hell we have regulations for regulations!
It proves my point you moron. Not even my impressionable young daughter is moved by social pressure
No, but it shows you are willing to exert social pressure…once again..as ive stated
