Trump's moves on RACE

[ColonelAngus]

No, it is historical fact compiled by an expert.

When the claim is “the colonists fought the Revolutionary War to preserve slavery” you know it is bullshit.

I'm not going explain something that is well-known to all.

As I've told you before, I'm sure the Trumpsters here want you to keep doing what you're doing. It's working out GREAT so far.

And as I've told you before, the goal itself is not the problem. The problem is the way the goal is addressed. And now here we are.

You can't explain it because it kills your narrative about how only Democrats are doing it. The problem is white backlash, which if you studied American history immigrant, you would have learned that any time there has been an attempt to create equal opportunity a portion of the white community has always resisted.

When the colonists did not end slavery after the war, the comment makes sense.

"Only Democrats are doing" what, exactly?

I've made it abundantly clear, many times, that both ends of this issue have to clean their own houses if we're going to have "an honest conversation about race".

I'm always amazed at how people on both ends of the spectrum only see what they want to see in my posts.

Most people fighting did not own slaves. You know this.

The Revolutionary war was NOT fought over slavery.

I'll listen to all the personal anecdotes you want to share but I don't take them as rational arguments, no, because they aren't. Let's see some actual numbers of DEI hires making four times that of equally situated white workers.

If they were equally situated they wouldn't be DEI. They'd be hired based on merit, which is the right thing to do.

 

[dblack]

No Mac there isn't. It's about fact not emotion. And you need to go study what the facts are. You aren't going to fix the inequality white racism has continued to create by ending the policies meant to fix it because whites are complaining without evidence that such policies discriminate against whites. DEI is not just about race THAT IS THE FACT OF THIS MATTER, so then you trap yourself in the right-wing narrative when you argue about hiring someone because of their race.

The bolded portion is the problem. With DEI, civil rights advocates have changed the goal, from equal rights to equal power and privilege in society.

Oh look.
More lies from the left.

 

[Lastamender]

What about Trump starting the Birtherism craze before Obama stepped foot in Office?

Killary started that in 2008. You are uninformed.

 

[mudwhistle]

DEI doesn’t screw anyone

Lack of it DOES

DEI is designed to remove whites from the equation. It's racist doctrine.

DEI is an excuse to choose people because of their race/sex/orientation rather than their qualifications.
It's racism, sexism, and orientation bias -- all things the left claims to hate.

Both VP Harris and Justice Jackson got their jobs because they are colored women; it is impossible to argue they were the most qualified candidates.

Agreed. But it's also impossible to argue that Trump was the most qualified Republican. What was their excuse?

The Republican base picked Trump, not the GOP leadership. Trump was chosen because he isn't a sellout like the Rinos.

Whichever. I still don't think you can argue, with a straight face, that Trump is the "best and the brightest". If Trump, Harris and Biden are the best our system can do, we need to ditch the system.

He's better and brighter than any Rino or Democrat.
MAGA taking over the GOP IS ditching the Wall St controlled Dem/Rino system.

I see what you are writing Mac and quite frankly most of it is silly jibberish not based in fact. What you seem to be saying is that efforts made by Democrats to achieve equal opportunity are being done wrong because whites are offended by the way it's being done. You seem to believe that the best way to come together is to ignore racist behavior because it upsets whites, and that we need not make white men mad. Go ask Booket T Washington how that worked out.

Democrats have won 3 out of the last 4 elections. In this century, Democrats have got the most popular votes in 2000, 2008, 2012, 2016, and 2020. Republicans have made efforts to reduce democratic voters and that's how they have been able to do things. Stop repeating that right-wing garbage, Democrats don't need to change anything except to begin to start slapping Republicans the same way they have slapped Democrats. If white men on the right are angry about being called what their behavior shows, then it's time for black, AAPI, Native American men, and sane Hispanic men to show these white men just how pissed off we are about what they continue to do. White men are 36 percent of the population, and they all aren't right-wing, so fuck those right-wing punks all the way up the ---.

Trump is perhaps the dumbest president in US history. You're going to learn this.

Again.

 

[BackAgain]

They've been talking about diversity hiring in the government since Bush was in office.

Obama is the one who made it legal.

The fact is they pushed it too far. Detroit was a prime example of what "diversity" does to government.

The goal was to turn states and eventually the whole county into Detroit.

Trump’s moves are not on race.

The example is instead one which focuses on how we go about returning us to a spot from which we can make race irrelevant.

Some black activists insist that we don’t aspire to be and shouldn’t aspire to be a colorblind society.

But, that is bullshit.

Of course we should aspire to be a colorblind society.

To address the socioeconomic inequities caused by racist American policies to diminish and disenfranchize the Black American community.

If there are 15 million white people in america who are millionaires, do you then think there should be 15 million black people who are millionaires? Is that fairness?
