    You know, you just make statements like that, which are ridiculous. I'm white and voted for Obama the first time and Romney the second time. Yesterday I voted in a primary and voted for the black candidate over a ex-navy seal because he is dishonest. Unfortunately the Seal won. All my kids hang out with mix groups and some vote Democrat and some Republican. So when you post your crap on here please do your research. Then again you could be one of those people to interfere in our elections with falsehoods.

    Republicans just claim they would vote for someone black. It would have been impossible for Obama to win the Presidency without white votes. The CRA and VRA where both passed with bi-partisan support. For years the VRA was blocked by Democrats. Robert Byrd was an ex KKK leader. America works best when both party's obtain common ground. You can find all this information in history books. That is if they haven't been purged yet.

    Easy enough. All I have to do is go back to those heady days of 1995 when Colin Powell was thinking about running. He would have beat the pants off of Clinton - although considering Bubba's pants were usually down to his ankles the bar is kinda low there. Nevertheless ...


    I mean, that sure reads a lot like a whole bunch of Republicans were fully committed to voting for Powell. I know I would have on the spot. So yep - saying Republicans only TALK about voting for Blacks when the polling data indicated they were prepared to walk the walk? Yep, there's your falsehood.

    How many have you elected again? 0 would be the correct answer. We heard that about Colin Powell, Condi Rice, Herman Cain, Ben Carson, Alan Keyes and blah, blah, blah. The falsehood will be gone when you elect a black man or woman, until then it is just talk.

    It will NEVER BE ENOUGH!!!’ The country is still racist after we elected a black man as president. The country is still racist even though we had a black AG and black Supreme Court justices. The country is still racist even though some sports are dominated by black people being payed millions/year. The country is still racist even though we have countless black leaders in all corporations. Countless amazingly successful black artists, entertainers, musicians, ect. The country is still racist even though far more black people kill white people than the other way around. The country is still racist even though cops kill MORE white people than black people. The country is still racist even though black people go from NOTHING to millionaires. The country is still racist although there isn’t a law on the books that prevents Black people from
    doing anything white people can do.

    So tell us...what has to happen until the country isn’t racist anymore? Nothing. There is nothing that can be done because some people will ALWAYS think everyone around them is racist and out to get them and every failure is because of racism. In medical terms we call that paranoid delusion:)

    The numbers don't lie. Had Colin chosen to run, he would have curbstomped Bubba no matter how much it pains you to admit Republicans were eager to do so.

    Pretty sure Tim Scott from SC was elected. Has it ever crossed your mind that if more blacks joined the Republican party that it would increase black power. As it stands now the Democrat establishment, the white part of it, does not have to be beholden to the minority once they get the Biden vote. Today the crime bill went down in flames because miss white bitch wants to use it as a campaign issue. Meanwhile out on the streets....Are there any conservative law abiding members in the Democrat Party? Just a little bending and some legislation could get passed beneficial to the country. Trump hurts himself with those tweets but Democrats hurt themselves with their obstruction of legislation because they don't want to be seen by liberals as giving Trump a victory. It's not a victory for Trump but could be a victory for the people.

    If black folks were to start joining the repub party in significant numbers, repubs would start becoming democrats. Again.

    Because the crime bill was trash, toothless.
    What victory would you like for them to give Trump............ or the people as you say.

    You see that's the difference between Republicans and Democrats. You ask a Democrat why they are voting Democrat and they will tell you " My Mama and Daddy always voted Democrat". No independent thinking there. " Democrats care about poor people". How's that been working out for the last 55 years? "Democrats care about social justice for blacks" Really? Then why are you protesting? All the racial problems seem to be coming out of cities controlled and run by Democrats. Democrats realize and support BLM's. Have you guys checked the murders and shootings of black people in the top twenty cities run by Democrats lately?

    Why would I vote Republican? I don't want to go back and live in a city like the one's run by Democrats now. I don't have to live with bars on my windows and doors. I feel reasonably safe walking in my neighborhood. My kids went to schools that had teachers that actually taught the courses. It's also a party that believes America can once again be great again and not a doormat to other countries or a policeman of the world. Republicans believe in offering a hand up and not a hand out.

    Well no crime bill so your party got zero instead of at least 80%. Another reason to vote Republican because Democrats believe in equal misery for everybody.

    The only victory I would like Trump to have is 4 more years. His policies will benefit the people.

    Depends on what generation you ask.

    Nice right wing talking points.

    Idk, that's a good question.

    I don't have no bars on my windows and doors.

    I do also.
    My kids did as well.

    So when you talk to black folks what era of great America are you referring to?

    Yep if you are rich.

    So you think they should just agree to something that looks good, but really amounts to nothing.

    Yea rich people.

    I have to laugh because if I told you how much I made a year you'd be wanting to start a "Please Fund Me" page. I came out of the black ghettos of Detroit and I'm white. I have every Top 40 soul, Motown and club song, from 1955 to 2000 and plenty of rap after that. Yeah my mom and Dad were Democrats and even they finally gave up on the party. My first involvement was passing out pamphlets for a Democrat alderman. I got to see the riots of 68 and the burning down of the city. My sister had her wrist slit by a black. My wife's father had 84 stiches put in his head as he was beaten by 6 blacks downtown. So when people cry about how we never have to put up with what my people have to go through. B.S. We all have our own stories and I'm responsible for my own life and I'm responsible for the way I interact with others. Many in the black community have bought into the false narrative that it's not their fault they live like they do. For many they need to go up to their mama and papa and let them know they did a lousy job of upbringing. Then they need to go look up their teachers and tell them thanks for failing me. Lastly they need to go find all those people who told them they can't make it on their own to kiss their ass. Finally they need to look in the mirror and tell themselves I am somebody. Remember that today is the first day in the rest of your life. If you ain't happy today then what day are you waiting for.

    I'm glad your doing well and your family also. Actually I thought the present time was one of the best time for blacks and for black/white relations. It is a big mistake to let a couple bas cops ruin all progress.

    Politics is compromise. Get some today and add or get more later. To much poison in the water at present.

    Why would I, I didn't claim you were rich.

    I guess that means you get your black card and if that is true, then you know what you hear your right wing buddies on this forum spew is false.

    With that said, you still haven't suffered what black folks have. I came at the back end of Jim Crow so my family could talk into next week of the racism and discrimination we have gone through.

    Who has told them that? With that said are you telling me that America holds no responsibility of the plight of black folks in this country, is that really what you are saying.

    That is sound advice, do you give that same advice to your white friends? There are many black kids that thank their parents for the struggles they had to get them up to be productive adults, there are plenty of black kids that go back and thank their teachers for the teachings and guidance they gave them to help them to grow up and be successful. Hopefully we all look in the mirror everyday and tell ourselves we are somebody inspite of the fact that we have those who tell us we aren't.

    As a white person understand your misunderstanding when it comes to black folks and the police. See you guys are NO WHERE AROUND when we are going through the harassment, brutality and when some of us are murdered UNJUSTLY. See every case doesn't make it to the TV or national scene.

    Well when people refuse to change and want to keep the status quo that is what happens.

    You implied that Republicans are only for the rich. Where do you get that slop from? Well all my kin on my mamas side were railroad people, Most started out as "Gandy dancers" and worked their way to higher positions and others wound up in the coal mines. Almost every immigrant group that has come here has worked hard to better themselves and sacrifice for their family. Some groups have done very well and some haven't. First and second generation immigrants seem to do best. Guess they are more motivated. The longer a group is American the work ethic seems to go down hill. What debt do you think I personally owe you or any other black? Please tell me. It should be interesting.

    So you want more police in your community? Is that what your saying? Maybe if the communities shared more info with the police they could nip some crime in the bud before it gets out of hand. Nothing changes if nothing changes. You might send that message to Nancy and Chuckie.

    The way I see it is Biden's a PIG, a useful PIG but still a PIG. As soon as he is no longer a useful PIG he'll be sausage.

    They are.

    Ok.

    You personally don't owe any black person anything as far as I know, but who claimed you did?

    Actually we want the police that are in the community held accountable for their actions like anyone else is.

    Maybe they would if they were not in fear of retaliation from the folks they are sharing the info on.

    Actually I need to send it the Mitch and his crew.

    many of these 'folks' are stealing and/or disobeying lawful orders because they did not get 40 acres and a mule.

    why don't you start holding the brutha's accountable instead of police?

    Well I can see were at a impasse. You keep on believing what you want and ten years from now you'll still be talking the same crap. From what I see the police are being held accountable but it looks like the blacks have their city leaders cowering like scared puppies and they are not being held accountable for their crimes. Like I say " nothing changes if nothing changes". So if blacks don't wish to change then let them sit in their own stew.
