Singing "We shall overcome", toiling on the Democratic plantation

[CapitalB]

This is why people who don't really follow politics should not try to act all knowledgeable every four years.

Follow politics, economics, etc. or just sit down and shut up.

If you had followed politics, you wouldn't think that the Democratic party is as indifferent to blacks like the Republicans are supposed to be. (The Republicans are actually not indifferent, but positively hostile, but nevermind.)

For example, perhaps until recently, what was the single biggest civil rights issue that black elected officials, intellectuals and other elites did the most to promote or defend?

Without question, it was or is keeping affirmative action.

If it wasn't for the Democratics, affirmative action would be long gone. It is the party that has gone out of its way to defend AA.

Another issue: Enforcing anti-discrimination laws. Under Democratic presidents, there is vigorous enforcement of such laws. Under Republican presidents, enforcement lags. Hell, Republican presidents have been known to be ambivalent if not outright hostile towards anti-discrimination laws. This was one of the main charges against Clarence Thomas when he was nominated to the Supreme Court, that he did the bidding of Reagan administration officials in not vigorously enforcing civil rights laws.

I could on. More definitely needs to be done. But if the Democrats were anything like the Republicans, there is no doubt that blacks would be worse off. The Democratic Party has done far more for blacks in the past 60 decades than have Republicans.

didnt AA benefit white bitches or some shit a studied showed!!?

I couldn't not vote...too much local shit on the line down here

thats fine..

vote that then..

shit thats gonna have an affect on ur day to day life like smokin pot and shit..

BUT THESE TWO MUTHAFUCKAS!!?

That's what I'm saying...irdc who wins outa these two...not enough to vote for either at least. Somebody in here really asked what is hillary gonna do to make it better for all black people....like any president has ever made every person in a certain group's life better by doing anything....if your life doesn't get better in 4 years that's on you not the president.

I get where u coming from

but the next president will nominate supreme court judges, influence or veto legislation and move the economy, and set the tone for relationships with other countries

and he or she will be the face of a very large bureaucracy which basically controls almost every aspect of your life from schools to how/if you receive healthcare to tax rates to home land security to the food in our grocery stores

that said, while you can't blame the government for all your failures, it would be close to impossible to support an argument that decisions made by the government haven't heavily contributed to one's state of financial or material welfare at any point in time the last 100 years

and its not about choosing a president who will make the lives of individual blk ppl better.....its about having someone in the white house who has a plan to address inequality in this country, racial and otherwise....its about doing what we can to pressure the government into doing our will

You just said it tho...I understand the Supreme Court judges and federal legislation and all that...it's important. but at the end of the day, whether the black community prospers or not is if WE make it happen.

 

[CashmoneyDux]

Haha, Elizabeth Warren and Obama just unfollowed crooked Hillary on Twitter and deleted all their tweets!!

The other shoe is about to drop on this crooked cabal.

You too excited about trump pulling ahead for someone claiming to be neutral

I don't like Trump either.

I don't want to see crooked Hillary get rewarded for cheating to win the primary against Bernie Sanders, and not being prosecuted for destroying government property that was under subpoena.

I want to expose America to show the world how hypocritical this nation is. Electing Trump will cannibalize this country for its sins against black folks.

And I'll have a beer, sit back and watch the shitshow.

This.

 

[CashmoneyDux]

The KKK endorses trump and been making robocalls on his behalf and put him on the cover of their newspaper. Idc who niggas vote for in this election so long as it's painfully obvious who shouldn't win.

That would be crooked Hillary.

Is trump not crooked? I'm not understanding why I should think Hillary (or anybody else running, really) is worse than a candidate who unites the KKK and gets the hopes up of all racists. Bad, ok, but worse? *rolls eyes*

Damn, are hillary supports this emotional and illogical? Do i have to post this picture everytime? Or are you going to ignore it and respond with hyperboles?

Dont use your emotions.

Bruh...this picture is photoshop...

This picture is photoshop

This picture is not real

This picture is false

This picture is photoshop

They photoshopped this picture. Stop posting it to prove a point

MOTHER FUCK HILLARY CLINTON..Bill Clinton...and hell George Clinton too until the election is over

but..that picture is photoshop.

TLDR:That picture is photoshop

EDIT: This picture is photoshop

Lmao it's not but OK keep believing that

You've obviously made up your mind so you're not going to read or believe the facts but,

Here's Snopes debunking it:

snopes.com/robert-byrd-kkk-photo/

The guy, Robert Byrd who was at one time the longest serving US senator, WAS absolutely a member of the Klan but disavowed it by the 1950's and apologized and yada yada...the picture is fake and originated from a fake news site (Strange Cosmos). They took his head from a picture of his official senate photo and put it over some klansmen's body. Dude was definitely a racist who probably only worked to hide his racism for political expediency. The picture is photoshop.

Im talking about Hillary kissing him I know the other picture is fake but he WAS in the klan and Hillary calls him her mentor.

Well one of them niggas is gon win regardless. So why waste your time complaining...

why waste ur time voting??

 

[playmaker88]

the audacity of people is hilarious they rail against people exhibiting group think ... yet they bear a cultist like following of dissenting fucknigganess in a small smart dumbnigga circle of nonsense..

ill quote a famous philospher

Niggas love not knowing.

 

[Peace_79]

Pessimists constantly look down and hit their heads.

Optimists constantly look up and loose their footing.

Realists look forward and adjust their path as necessary.

Shit idk if ima even vote honestly. But all of this ridiculous "omg both candidates are the devil" rhetoric is truly pointless.

AT THIS STAGE AFFIRMATIVE ACTION IS A HORRIBLE THING.

 

[zzombie]

by the way trump just can't justmake anything he wants legal.

Neither can Hilary.

But a Republican House Majority, Republican Senate Majority, and Republican Adminstration gives a Republican sitting President much MORE influence over the policies that get passed into Legislation.

This Presidential Election is a crap shoot; especially with the growing apathy among the black community.

Trump could win.

And have you checked the composition of Congress recently?

the republicans won't maintain control of the house or senate especially if trump wins

SPEAK OH GREAT DAUGHTER OF STAN confuse the stupid pleds with your leftist liberal misunderstanding of the proper role of government.

The government is not supposed to be doing the will of the people that's not really it's role. America was set up to prevent mob rule. THIS government WAS SET UP TO to protect the right of it's citizens as described in the bill of rights and constitutions.... THIS BULLSHIT THAT PEOPLE believe that THE government is obligated to do the will of it's people is a gross misunderstanding, you cannot pressure the government to break any constitutional right and that's why inequality especially economic inequality cannot go away.

 

[ghostdog56]

I still can't believe that niggas just forgave HER for that crimes bill that fucked the black community all up.

With heroin now THEY are doing a pilot program in a couple of states were if a junkie overdoses they will charge his/her dealer with murder and a mandatory minimum 20 year sentence, but they said specifically that they are not targeting the users (white people) just the dealers. Hillary is licking her chops about this ready to fill the plantation that is prison with blacks

Hmmm ....

When you said "HER" ...

Was that code for over 500 White, Black, and Latino, Republican and Democratic members of the Senate, House Representatives, Presidential Adminstration, and the majority of the entire American populous who voted for, endorsed, and voiced their support for the initiative?

Just trying to decode.

And when you said "THEY", were you referring to any specific people or known entities with any association to Hilary Clinton?

Or are we to just assume that every bad thing that anyone may have ever heard about ... is automatically a Hilary Clinton conspiracy.

She supported the crimes bill and "she's" the one running for president so her record should be questioned.

And "they" refers to the government that she is apart of that is putting a blatantly racially biased law in place that benefits the prison industrial complex which "she" has taken donations from and "they" expect a return on their investment.
