Typical Nazi/KKK claim by leftists who don't like facts/reality that does not comport with PC make believe rubbish.

He has more knowledge and intelligence than many will ever know or are capable of understanding. Yet they will listen to Joe Biden who has been wrong more on the geopolitical front than any 5 people combined.

Easy.

Because you yourself are capable more than achieving being born a certain color. A superficial thing you have no control over. Something that shouldn't matter but the left harps and hammers on is the sole outlier to determine a person's worth and victim hood status vs privilege status.

Ditto. I started a thread promoting Pat for SOS awhile back.

Should it entitle you to anything less?

In the 60’s liberals called for a color blind society. Now it is the conservatives.

Buchanan is, has been, and always will be a racist and a classic isolationist. He's a throwback to the worst of the 1930's. Would have fit right in to the German Bund. Has a long history of defending many Nazi mass murderers. He convinced Reagan, over the objections of advisors, to honor the SS. He's rightist to the extreme (and I am definitely NOT a liberal).

He's a scoundrel. He shames conservatism. Surprised and disappointed that the jerk is still breathing.

That's the fundamental problem, people assuming that they possess superior characteristics, when they clearly do not! White skin does not and should not entitle you to anything more than anyone else with a different skin color.
By definition we all have more of an opinion/right/say in what goes on within the borders of the countries of our ancestors. Unless of course you're a person who believes there shouldn't be any borders (like your friend George Soros).

And with all due respect, I have a question for Mr. Green_Mariner:

As productive, self-supporting members of society, why should I or you, or anyone else expect the power to coerce vested in the state to be used to benefit us -- at the expense of someone else, since coercion is a zero-sum game?
The Democratic solution is to ration and redistribute bread,
The authoritarian solution s to lock up what little bread there is,

the Libertarian solution is to find a way to bake more bread.

I know I can do more than be a color. That is not the point. I am asking explicitly this question: What benefit do I get from the Authoritarian Right Wing? How do I benefit from it considering comments like "minority in their own country"? What about comments like "slavery brought Blacks prosperity and freedom"? What about Pat Buchanan wanting to get rid of all civil rights laws?

You see, it's not about being capable or incapable. It is about considering that there are people who look down on me BECAUSE I am Black. It is about considering that I belong to a group that is look down on more than anyone else in the USA. It is nothing I have control over. However, the thing I have no control over is something that some people will use as a reason to discriminate. It has been done throughout U.S. history. Basically, my sense of history makes me distrustful of the likes of Pat Buchanan and people who think like him.

Again, do not bring up the left wing. Address my question: How would I benefit from the Authoritarian Right Wing? Do not bring up the left, just discuss the Authoritarian Right Wing, and that alone.

Why do you ask me the question? I am the one looking for answers. How do I stand to benefit from the Authoritarian Right Wing? Lets talk about that first. I will address the other question later.

This is why I do not have respect for Pat Buchanan. Anyone who supports Pat Buchanan, I have no trust or respect for such persons. I will look at any support of Pat Buchanan as a threat to me. Said persons would support policies that would be a threat to me. If there was a vote to bring Jim Crow back, I would assume that those individuals would vote in favor of bringing Jim Crow back. For that reason, I would consider a supporter of Pat Buchanan a threat to me.
