Trump's moves on RACE

[Moonglow]

Your wretched ideology is DEAD.

My ideology is not on display here.....get a clue, dud.

 

[mudwhistle]

Is it? Do you understand the difference between facts and your soy white feelings?

That has to be one of the most racist statements I've seen here at USMB in quite awhile.

My guess is you think that blacks have the right to rub their racism in everyone's noses.

And for your information, pointing out racism isn't racist. Racism is described in the dictionary as any race who feels they have special rights and privileges because of their race. End of story.

You tell whatever Soy story you want.

 

[mudwhistle]

That is what happens when repressed people finally get a chance to be free..

The last people you want in charge are people who think they've been oppressed.

That tends to remove their sense of fairness.

 

[mudwhistle]

You tell whatever Soy story you want.

Soy story?

What's your fucking problem?

 

[Curried Goats]

Soy story?

What's your fucking problem?

I don't have a problem. I enjoy your Soy stories. Tell me again what racism is to you.

 

[Moonglow]

Soy story?

What's your fucking problem?

Indeed, the new boss that acts like the old boss, humans never learn.

Instead, they're just going to cram this stuff down the country's throat, with no explanations, no discussion, no communication. It's a terribly wasted opportunity.

How did you come to that stupid conclusion, Democratic party of racism advocate?

Just because you choose to ignore the Republicans explaining that they are against racism, calling out blatant examples of illegal racism being perpetrated by Democrat racists and Trump signing an executive order shutting down said institutional racism, that doesn't mean that that discussion doesn't exist. It just means you chose to remain ignorant.

Trump and the American people voted to tell you fucking racist Democrat scumbags to fuck off and go home. Get your disgusting immoral racism out of our government.

 

[Mac1958]

Well, from most of the posts so far, maybe Trump visited USMB and decided it was hopeless.

 

[ThisIsMe]

I don't care if you're racist. That's besides the point. The fact is that this country purposefully excluded and diminished the capability of Black Americans to grow wealth, buy homes, and enjoy an equal share of social status and so affirmative action was designed to not just end racism but to place upon America a requirement to be pro active in fixing the inequality it caused.

So it's reparations then?

 

[Curried Goats]

So it's reparations then?

Yes, of a sort. Why not?

 

[mudwhistle]

Yes, of a sort. Why not?

Paying reparations to someone who's never been a slave is essentially blackmail.

If the person paying it never owned slaves it's called extortion.

 

[ThisIsMe]

As many as it takes.

Takes to do what?

My biggest disappointment with Barack Obama was the fact that no American President has ever been better-equipped to firmly address America's profound racial issues, and he essentially voted "present" instead of tackling them head on.

Biden? Uh, no.

On the other hand, and this is not easy for me to say, Donald Trump does find himself in a position to address race. Why that is, is a separate issue. But the way he's handling it -- decrees that just summarily wipe away any number of issues centering around race -- is a mistake. Instead, he could be carefully explaining WHY he believes that initiatives like DEI are not in America's best interests, and neither are they in the best interest of those they purport to be "helping". Isn't that the point of all this?

The opportunity is right there, waiting for him. But he's not taking it. Obviously he personally doesn't have the capacity to communicate these things contemporaneously, but that's not necessarily needed. He can do it in a speech that is carefully written for him (as long as he sticks to the words, of course). Get the ideas out into society, get Americans to talk to each other about it. But it has to start with Trump.

Instead, they're just going to cram this stuff down the country's throat, with no explanations, no discussion, no communication. It's a terribly wasted opportunity.

He IS dealing with race by abolishing racist government programs.

 

[ThisIsMe]

Yes, of a sort. Why not?

OK, so back to my other question, what percentage of black people do you feel being placed in higher paying positions or higher power positions, is the correct amount? "As many as it takes" doesn't really say anything

Paying reparations to someone who's never been a slave is essentially blackmail.

If the person paying it never owned slaves it's called extortion.

And if the person being forced to pay it never owned slaves, that’s exactling a penalty on a person who was never guilty of the action.

Again, I do love your Soy stories.


This however is for segregation.

 

[Lisa558]

DEI sounds good, but it was really designed to weaken our institutions.

It was tailor-made for a communist takeover.

The goal of the left has always been to screw everything up and create a vacuum of leadership that radicals could take advantage of.

Exactly. It’s a way of making sure, in the majority of cases, that the best qualified does not get the job.

 

[Curried Goats]

Takes to do what?

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

Obama was actually the least qualified -

But the black writer Ta-Nehisi Coates makes a persuasive case that Obama has always been overly optimistic on race, in large part because he did not have a conventional black upbringing.
His formative years were spent in Hawaii, America's most racially integrated state, and the whites he encountered, namely his mother and grandparents, were doting and loving.
Obama was not the victim of discrimination in the same way as a black kid growing up in Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, or even New York or Illinois. As a result, he may have underestimated the forces that would seek to paralyse his presidency and to impede racial advance more broadly.
The president has said repeatedly since election night that the result proves that history is not linear but rather takes a zig-zagging course.
