I suppose it is better to be brainwashed than to be totally and irretrievably delusional.

Something as the color of eyes or the height and weight of ones personal attributes and not so much as something that should be so entirely the person. The democratic party is not doing the blacks any favors. Always saying someone is speaking negative about one being black.. what if the white race had someone always defending their color? I would ask why? And so it should be for all blacks to ask why? I am equal . I was told on this thread that is is condescending to say the blacks. Why? Is it terrible to say the word black referring to a race? It shouldn't be!
You'll never "get it" and that's sad for you.

Trump: How He Lost the Black Vote

Excerpt...

If Trump is even wondering, here's why his passport to Black America is probably cancelled:

"The Blacks"

It's 2011. It's perfectly respectable to refer to African Americans as "black people," "the black community" and maybe even "black folks" -- if you can carry it off. But "the blacks"? No.

Yea!

And look how well it's worked out for them.

It is a puzzler that for so long America has been a melting pot. Granted, the early ascendant populations - the waves of Irish and Italian immigrants come to mind - had a hard time being accepted. Though in time, they became part of the American fabric, still maintaining their heritage and cultural identify, if they wanted.

'Now', I see Asian, East Asian and Hispanics becoming ascendant, assimilated, but they too have maintained their identities, if they want.

All made their own way, fighting against long odds.

I've read all of this thread, but still can't quite get why one group chooses to stand apart from America.

What group is that? Cuz for the life of me, i can't quite figure it out. I don't know of a single group that stands apart from America.

BTW...the Irish and Italians are white. It only makes sense that they assimilated eventually. But your "melting pot" nonsense is laughable. This country has never been a melting pot for non-whites.

It is all for the freebies and money they can steal from the rest of the population.
