Just 14 Yrs Ago Hollywood & Democrats Loved America

Nope there is an accurate perception that race relations ARE being dragged backwards.

 

This is not true, when Obama got elected that woke them up to the fact that they have to do something, and with the election of trump their succeeding.

 

I couldn't disagree more. I remember the Jim Crow years and nothing like that exists like that now. Perception isn't necessarily reality. There is a huge difference between racism and exploitation. True conservatives embrace racial equality, it is those on the left that promote the illusion of systemic racism and capitalize on incidents like what happened in Minneapolis. If George Floyd had been white his death would have only reached local news and would already be forgotten because it had no political value. No black person was more exploited than Barrack Obama, do you think the Democrats and the extreme left really give a rat's ass about the Obamas? Do you think the Obamas are still held in the same esteem of white wealthy liberals? That's a club they will never belong to I assure you. In a sense slavery never ended, the Democrats still use and abuse blacks and still maintain a vast plantation. You are living in 1984, you just don't see it yet.

 

Yes, correct. They had no sponsors, no hollywood agent promoting them, they rose up from their own will and great talent, against higher odds then any face today.

 

Just 14 years ago, Republicans had not been led down a path of anti-left and even anti-center extremism fueled by online disinformation. It seemed to begin in earnest with Obama and birtherism and rapidly grew from there. Trump, the birther in chief, came along and capitalized on this growing radicalism by becoming their spokesman and representative, and their pipe bomb to throw through the window of the establishment.

You people need to get a grip and return to reality. Quit allowing online BS and Trump to make a moronic cult out of you.

 

I agree that is a lot of pot stirring and at times downright obnoxious comments about whites. Did you hear Michelle Obama's comments recently? I'm definately not fan of the daily wire but they may have hit the nail on the head.

I like to think that she is simply naive rather than deliberately manipulative though.

 

You need to look in a mirror.

 

It's a difference in managerial style ...

Obama

 

No, it is more like:



Nobody wants a limp wristed leader.

 

Which doesn't mean that things aren't getting worse.

 

Well under Obama things got better, under trump things are getting worse.

 

Again a matter of perception.

 

He could have respected their autonomy and intelligence.

Instead he choose to infantalise them, and in so doing confirmed that he thinks the white man is smarter.

 

When white people declare residual bigotry reason enough for brown people to stand still, is the real racism. The racism we should all be concerned about.

 

Got better for who? White middle

 

I'm afraid I don't understand. I don't yet know you or your politics so it's difficult for me to infer what you're saying.

 

White folk who encourage black folk to 'stop and fight' the ghost of something which doesn't deserve any attention at all, are the real problem. It's a desperate effort to retain supremacy, in response to the gains black Americans made late last century.

 

Nope their getting worse.

 

The economy in general got better.

 

Outside of existing, I can’t think of anything Obama did to escalate racial tensions.

Trump sure played the race card up though.

 

How so, state your case.

 

The Portland situation.

 

He was a freaking disaster for America. Worst thing that could have happened to the nation. So bad that you got a Trump in response.

 

You can't be serious. That's ALL he did.

Wait, no .. he also locked brown kids in cages.

 

Are you saying that what's happening in Portland is somehow Trump's fault???? Ha!! do tell.
