Who ever told you that I wanted reparations? You’ve got nothing I want and anything you have isn’t desirable to me nor is it worth having. You’re just barely scraping by...don’t flatter yourself.
If you read into my post and reparations came to mind, then you don’t know what the hell you’re talking about.
You’re Canadian, so in around about way, reparations in a non issue for you.
Being a person of color and descendent of African Slaves and a native born American, I support Trump over Biden or Sanders. Personally, I dislike it when people turn sheet into a Black/White issue.
Hence....this is why white conservatives have WEAPONIZED black conservatives to use against the democrats.
To be clear, black conservatives are being USED by the right.....they have a role in front of the camera that equally qualified white conservatives would never get. You know how many white folks who would love to be on camera sitting at a table with Trump? Why don't they get such a photo op when many are more qualified for such a photo op than these blacks? At a Trump rally.....if you are black you are more likely to appear on camera than if you are white? If this based upon merit or race? The question is rhetorical because we already know the answer. The party that talks the talk is simply playing the race card.
Also....since when is a plantation a place people WANT to be? Blacks were FORCED to be on plantation as slaves. There is no FORCE making black people willfully reside on the side of the democratic party.....other than the personal choice.
"To be clear, black conservatives are being USED by the right..."
To be clear, black liberals have beenn USED by the LEFT for decades.
"Also....since when is a plantation a place people WANT to be? Blacks were FORCED to be on plantation as slaves."
We have several communicates in the area where I live that have "Plantation" in their name and I KNOW BLACKS who CHOSE to live in them.
Using your "logic"' we should still hate England, and Japan and Germany.
It's not about police brutality. It's about exposing the frauds who think it's about racism. As if whites are not victims of police brutality. You don't know their names for 2 reasons.
1. The media doesn't publicize it
2. because of your prejudice.
Players kneel because they are ignorant.
Any more questions feel free to ask but whatever you do don't look into the issue with an open mind while seeking the truth. You can't play the victim card if you do that.
Do you even do any research to verify your claims before you make them? Or do you just make any claim you feel like making and denounce any evidence that contradicts it? Almost 3x (2.6 per million white people and 7.0 per million black people) more black people are killed by police, 21% of black victims were unarmed compared to 14% of whites (Hispanics down the middle at 17%). Click on some of the pins on the map on this website and read about some of the cases that are, and aren't covered in the media.
It’s because republicans don’t care who you are, you’re welcome to participate in the dream. The democrats care who you are so they can exploit you. They have very low expectations and have done precious little, because they think they know who you are. Truth is Trump treats black folks with equality, and has made a commitment to actually do things for the community. Dems have a record of dismal failure.
1. He said that he doesn’t want black people counting his money, and that he only wants guys wearing yarmulkes counting his money.
2. He deserves to be treated as a birther. He either actually is one or, if not, he’s willing to feed that fantasy as red meat to his base......which might be worse.
The problem is that any issues that black folks have is quickly dismissed. Swept under the rug. Their concerns are not taken seriously.
yea I get it, something like issues that women have is quickly dismissed. I'll bet black men are also guilty of the offenses toward black women but let's just ignore that. We women are to be seen and not heard. We are supposed to bring home the bacon and fry it up for you. The list goes on. Yea, slavery is still alive and well.
I watched this round table of a few dozen influential black leaders from churches, media, charities, sports and black owned businesses who were there to introduce themselves to the presstitutes and chat with the President before they all went to another room for refreshments. A party! Several of them called out the media for being dishonest, one business owner was shouting and very emotional.
There was lot of warmth, heart and love in that room, both to and from our President.
In your own words Trump had a "party" with "influential black leaders" and "there was a lot of warmth, heart and love in that room." But what are Trumps actual government policies towards black Americans?
I will concede that president Trump has nice meetings/parties with certain influential black leaders, but what are the actual Trump government policies that help regular black Americans?
What do they have to gain? The regressive tax cuts probably didn't help that much, nor would having a known racist in the oval office
Joe Biden's the racist, I heard him use the "N" word on the radio yesterday from an old audio clip when he was first elected in Delaware.
He also took piles of cash from MBNA (shady credit lender) to vote against low income borrowers rights, many of them African Americans who used payday loans, and secured credit cards.
Joe's history is starting to come out now, and a lot of it's bad. He never accomplished 1 thing in the private sector, and has been a Washington DC parasite for 45+ years.
He courts the Black vote, while ignoring Latino's...pathetic racist.
hmm, question So!... If there were no black conservatives you'd complain that R's ignore blacks, but since there are black conservatives, you complain and make the false accusation that they are being used. My question is, can you be happy?
Wow, I'm so sad for you that you go through life with such a sad outlook on life and people.
I think, regardless if the Republican party advocated the return of slavery.....there would be black people would support the party and white people who would reward them for it. There will always be black people who will put profit over principle and black people who will agree, in principle, with being anti-black.
