Trump wants Kaepernick & West for White House race summit

[JoeMoma]

Can we agree that it is OK for a word to be offensive in one instance but not offensive in another? A word like ******, for example.

Only if both black people and white people can use that word offensively in one instance but not offensively in another.

“Trump wants Kaepernick & West for White House race summit”

This belongs in the Political Satire forum – it’s too stupid to be true.

What's stupid about it?

It sure would have been nice for this to be a positive topic, with everyone hoping for the best.

Celebrating and advocating for communication and progress, regardless of who gets the credit.

It never had a chance.
.

Yeah you messed it up pretty quickly.

 

[LoneLaugher]

Can we agree that some of the stipulations from the right for improved race relations are that black people become less lazy and violent. That they stop having too many babies and get jobs?

 

[Care4all]

Such a hopeful news item. Such predictable negativity.

We are just not STUPID Mac.... we have eyes to see, ears to hear and a brain that reasons....and one that recognizes repetitive patterns....

Your going to have the best health care plan, that is cheaper than now and better than now....

The 40% tax cuts for the corporations is going to trickle down and make you richer and close the gap between the Rich and the Poor....

I Love DACA kids, I want us to show love to them.....after he cuts off their program...

I don't want to split up families...as ICE carts off the married to an American father for deportation....

I didn't pay Stormy, I didn't 'know' Stormy. I did pay Stormy.

I'm a germa-phobe! I could not have been with those showering prostitutes! As I screw a porn star without protection...

etc etc etc

there is only so much a person can take without realizing there is a complete and utter con man in the oval office....

So, we agree?

The very last two things the Regressive Left wants to see are (1) race relations healed and (2) Trump getting ANY measure of credit for it. Holy shit.

This issue is at their very foundation. They'll fight this one with everything they have.
.

Mac has spoken. Remember guys he is a true independent so he is an expert on how bad the left is.

Please try to calm down. This is a hopeful story, yet you just can't be positive.

Why is that?

Just kidding. I know why.
.

The beer summit was a hopeful story and your reply to it was:

"Ah, the "beer summit". Eight years, and we got the "beer summit".

We've never had a President more prepared and qualified to tackle our race issues head-on than Obama. Not even close. Yet in eight years, he did little more than vote "present".

Why so negative about the beer summit? We know why.

Of course, I'm honest. Not intellectually paralyzed by a partisan ideology.

You wouldn't understand, obviously.
.

Sure your not partisan at all:

"Ah, the "beer summit". Eight years, and we got the "beer summit".
We've never had a President more prepared and qualified to tackle our race issues head-on than Obama. Not even close. Yet in eight years, he did little more than vote "present".

First, it's "you're", not "your". You've done this multiple times now.

And you're (see that?) demonstrating one of the primary symptoms of hardcore partisan ideology: Shallow, simplistic, binary thinking: "If you say this, you must be that".

Being an Independent means that my opinions are as strong as yours, but I don't obediently march in lockstep with a "side". So yes, what you keep quoting is my opinion.

Did I really have to explain that? And are you going to keep humping my leg like this?

The naysayers are the ones fighting uphill on this one.


You get a picture of Trump and Kaepernick shaking hands, and smiling, and that smashes the false and vile narrative the vile left has been pushing for years.


Trump pulls this off, and they lose, a BIG ONE.

Sure, the Regressives cannot have this, on an level.

The danger here is that Trump goes showbiz with it. I bet Kap & Kanye would take it seriously.

If Trump could lay back enough and let the guys talk, some good could come from it.

And more importantly, some momentum.
.

Showbiz sells.

Looks like we do on this one! Isn’t it grand to agree about sonething?

Well, it can. It can open doors. It will be up to him to have some kind of limits, though.

A big part of the problem is the myth of Republican racism.


That needs to be demolished. If President Trump does not get at least SOME of the credit, that would greatly undermine any potential gain from this.

If Trump tries to pretend that racism doesn't still exist, this will go nowhere.

Limits? Can you link me to the definition? Never heard of it.

for me, what really makes that, is the toy limos.

If Trump opens, or even includes a mea culpa, that's a hard fail, right there.


The myth needs challenged. Anyone that pushes it, needs called out.

There's a lot of ground between a mea culpa and just admitting that both sides have work to do. It's not one or the other.

If something that obvious can't be admitted, then there's no hope. I think Trump has the capacity to be honest on this.

Yeah, instead of inviting intellectuals and folks who actually got the shit beat out of them on a bridge in Selma, let’s invite multi millionaires to discuss the hardships blacks face due to skin color.

Trump equates money with substance. Both men have @ specialized skill set that society endows in sports and art. That is pretty much the only reason anyone cares about their opinions and it adds zero validity to those opinions. Want to talk about racism in sports, put Doug Williams on the team or James Blake. Racism in music? I’m sure Kanye can weigh in on that. Rich folks can and do face racism, of course. Money is an invisible commodity that doesn’t trump skin color. Yet somehow having millionaires discussing with other millionaires their hardships is likely to have little impact on the ground.

Lol, if Obama did the exact same thing. You would've praised him.

Yep. Another example of what hardcore partisan ideology does to people.

Meh, not really. Kanye is making a spectacle of himself when he says shit like "Slavery was a choice".... But of course, he's a hero to Stormy Mac, who whines all day that liberals don't hate Muslims enough and wants to hug nazis.

IF he starts talking about republicans or even white racism, everyone will stop listening.


The whites will see it, correctly as just more of the same bullshit lecturing, and that's it.


The blacks and liberals will have their pre conceived notions validated and stop listening.
