it was not 'off topic' since YOU started with the whining about how *your* side was the forgotten man or whatever it was akin to that... blah blah fucking blah.
are you saying that *you're* NOT anymore?
No, I'm saying discussions on his actual job performance is a separate issue from who he was representing and/or whether we had a right to be represented.
a bipartisan consensus for generations? LOL!!!!!!!!!!!! the bus boycott & the 1964 voting rights act wasn't all that long ago - certainly NOT 'generations' ago. & what is written down on paper does not mean much when it's not put into practice.
By the 1964 both national parties supported legal and political equality for blacks. Protests such as teh Bus Boycott, were designed among other goals to get the attention of the large nation wide bloc of support for black equality and use that to pressure local politicians for change.
systemic racism is different than say, black college enrollment is at an all time high .... or we elected a black prez - so racism no longer exists like some fools actually say.
We are discussing what I actually said, which was to point out that, since the early 1960s, there has been a bi-partisan consensus on equality for blacks.
That is a controversial enough statement for us to discuss. That you are making up strawmen so quickly, shows that on some level, you know that I am right and you want to lie about what I said.
& as for them thar fringy ws nutters - their numbers have grown
Their numbers have grown? From what to what? Cause I've looked and I can't find anything on that.
& they have become more emboldened by your chosen one. it was a bigley signal ( among others) when donny freaked that military bases were going to rid themselves of confed names. you know - the TRAITORS that started a civil war & wanted to secede from the union over the right to own other humans.
Back before both parties formed their consensus on equality for blacks, there were real issues effecting blacks to discuss, such as real job discrimination and forced labor.
That today, you want to make a big deal about the names of military bases, shows that you have no real issues to complain about, and you are really looking hard to find shit to stir up the hate and anger that is your side's fuel.
AND those ws that donny loves long time have arms ... lots & lots of arms.
There does not seem to be enough ws, to have a lot of anything.
The SPLC, which is not a trustworthy source, claimed 8k for ws several years ago.
I put no trust in that number, but it is telling that they could not dare to claim anything significant.
