I think you need to head over to Appalachia, and preach to those folks. Tell them to get off the government teet.
Anger and resentment is fear! Period!

Poor white-trash? Why don't you just say that? Another concern for another thread imo.

Do I know any black people? I don't know, I'm color-blind.

No wait, I actually do. I've friended a couple of them on Twitter and Facebook. So yeah, I've got my blacks. I believe their names are Brunell-donald Kyei and Sheriff David Clarke.

Why do you ask?

Idk. It may just be me but I have a hard time believing the Democrats give a flip about the Civil Rights Act when they used the KKK as their military Arm.

From my first post in here, and thank you a bunch for the fifteenth or so and counting +reps I've gotten on it so far...

The 1960s Act merely tried to claim laws that were already put into the Constitution 100 years previously by the, that’s right, Republicans.
A little known fact, more Republicans than Democrats voted for the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
Today’s Democrats take credit for Civil Rights legislation.
So what’s their contribution? They finally agreed to stop filibustering it so it could pass.

And I should add to it what Moon pointed out, once the Democrats get their hands on a good thing, they take the teeth out of it.

The equivalent version of what Taratova said would be: "Whites don't know how to not shoot up schools, they shoot schools up they look for schools under rocks, anywhere they can find them to shoot them up again." That's is a racist statement just like calling black people victims.

Their is a reason why a third of the blacks who vote for Republicans want to be white. Half of them are mostly immigrants (heavily Nigerian) like myself and they want to kill/jail the gays more than anything so they vote republican, the remains sixth of them are decent people.

"I call out to black immigrants who vote republican to get off the republican plantation, and get over your bigotry."

Certain black folks want to call each other the N word. I don't give a flip.

I'm also sick of talking about Black people all the time. What about every other "minority" on the planet?

Some folks just don't even need to be called minority.

Russia Russia Russia! Waa!

Nigerian Nightmare? Who's that? Isn't that Christian Okoye? My bro Steve Atwater took care of him with one hit.

I can't say I agree with that.

Anybody would be tempted by living on the dole. I was, according to my friends when I was on unemployment. Problem is, for some, it just don't work. My friends told me if I wasn't working, I was a bum. They said do anything. Collect grocery carts, whatever. I delivered pizza. It turned into a great job.

Black is a color, not a description of a person. Race, creed, color, gender, socio-economic status, sexual preferences, etc. That don't define us.

That's all ego.

So that means whites were owned prior to blacks as welfare existed prior to blacks being eligible for it.

Welfare only became a problem for many when it was opened to minorities. So no, it's not blacks playing the victim. It's ignorant whites who are playing the victim because they feel harmed when something isn't available to them alone. It's spoiled child behavior. They feel entitled to any and everything to the exclusion of others because that's how it was for so long.

And a modern day version: https://newrepublic.com/article/1300...trump-possible
The private sector losing their rights was the reason Goldwater voted against it. I agree. It's another progressive policy with government control, no different than Jim Crow.

LBJ called the Civil Rights Act, the N*gg*r Bill. Tell me he cared.

Well it started with FDR, but LBJ ratcheted up to a new level. What has 53 years of the Great Society, and War on Poverty gotten the poor? Dependency, and generations of Welfare recipients stuck on the planation due to liberal/progressive polices. Also, how many cities are controlled by Democrats, especially the larger cities?

Corporate America, and old money. I did not say you owned the plantation. Neither of us do. I'm a white woman, and I can see what is tearing us all apart. It's not racism, nor bigotry, it's the corporate elite, but people keep voting for them. It's like chickens voting for the butcher. Cause "abortion" and "homos".

Your point was clearly BS. You were either distorting or you were ignorant of basic history - either way a bad look that you keep dodging this.
The individual I responded to said "voted", not support. Both JFK and LBJ voted for the bill. So you are wrong again.





Like I said earlier, the person i was responding to didnt mention whether or not he or she thought the CRA of 1957 was good or bad, watered down or not. That wasnt part of their argument. It was strictly who voted for what.


Instead of you saying "yea, that dude was wrong" or not responding to me at all, you choose to make a grandiose argument and claim you could read minds.

Well, if Goldwater had supported the bill, more Blacks would have voted for him(the ones that could vote). Honestly, in the private sector, Blacks were still in a position where they were put last, if at all. And the definition of progressivism is the support and advocacy for social reform. Jim Crow was not about that by any stretch.

I never said LBJ cared for Blacks all that much, but Goldwater wasn't really doing anything for Blacks either. And I noticed you have ignored everything I posted about the Southern Strategy.

No one is "stuck" on welfare. Many people choose to make it a lifestyle for themselves. However, for those who want to better themselves, it is alot easier to do it these days than back in FDR's days.

Most large cities are controlled by Democrats. Seattle, Portland, Denver, San Jose, Madison, Columbus, St. Paul, Boston. None of those cities would ever be mistaken for Memphis, Detroit, Baltimore, St. Louis, New Orleans, Birmingham, Oakland, Newark, Milwaukee. Why is San Jose doing well but Oakland isn't?(and both are part of the Bay Area). Milwaukee had a riot last year and has alot of problems, but Madison, which is in the same state as Milwaukee, also controlled by Democrats, is in much better shape than Milwaukee. Seattle is growing in population and people want to move there. Detroit is bleeding population.
