It's a sad day.
Not for the GOP. Fuck those assholes.
But, my fellow Aggie, Will Hurd is not seeking re-election.
Will Hurd, only black House Republican, is latest to not seek re-election
Gig'em, Will.
He needs to serve somewhere. Will's a smart, talented dude. But, that brings up the real topic which is partly race relations and partly politics, but I will keep it here.
The most glaring is, why would the GOP let this happen? What in the complete and utter fuck? They could screw up a wet dream. But, that's for the Politics board.
But, let's all assume (for the purposes of this thread) that there is an inherent system of white racism and white privilege. I am not necessarily accepting or asking anyone else to accept that as true, in general. Just for this thread, there exists system of white racism/privilege in America.
As a "conservative" black man, do you think that Will Herd developed ideas, beliefs, actions and behaviors that supported or colluded with that system of white racism and/or white privilege? (I put the word "conservative" in quotes because these labels have all been fuck up)
If so, do you believe his actions/beliefs/attitudes had negative consequences in the lives and communities of "people of color"
Do you think Will Hurd became a "conservative" because, throughout his life, he was rewarded for supporting white privilege and power, and punished or excluded when he did not?
(For that matter, do you think he was punished or excluded from the black community when he appeared to disagree that there is an insurmountable, racist system in place that allegedly keeps the black community from advancing and progressing?)
Do you think Will Hurd was trapped in an oppositional stance with those who identify as people pushing for measures to end the alleged system of white racism/privilege? (was he a sellout?)
