    This was one of the main pieces of the National SOCIALIST platform. An end to the class conflict between the workers and bourgeoisie.

    How?

    Trump (in the 2016 campaign): "You are living in poverty, your neighborhoods are like war zones, your schools and hospitals are broken, your young men are in prison...."

    Meanwhile:

    "According to 2018 US Census Data, the highest poverty rate by race is found among Native Americans (25.4%), with Blacks (20.8%) having the second highest poverty rate, and Hispanics (of any race) having the third highest poverty rate (17.6%)".

    And as Krystal Ball correctly says, Biden wont be much more effective than Trump in eradicating poverty ghettos, because both of them accept our rotten neoliberal economic system.

    But times are a changin....aided by the covid-19 health and unemployment disaster.

    1. Throw them in jail...
    2. I don't care what Trump says. Poverty in the true sense of the word has been eradicated in America... Go to countries with a majority black or hispanic population. That's poverty...

    "You don't care"...that's just about sums up conservatism.

    BTW, don't watch that Krystal Ball video. Your head will no doubt explode....as she says of all RW reaction to congresswoman Ilham Mohar's recent comments.

    I had never heard of Krystal Ball, but after watching 3 minutes of her work it is clear she is lost.

    As far as Omar... The framers had it right in 1790...

    haha --you could only 'tolerate' 3 mins ...as expected from someone who says poverty doesn't exist ...

    "According to 2018 US Census Data, the highest poverty rate by race is found among Native Americans (25.4%), with Blacks (20.8%) having the second highest poverty rate, and Hispanics (of any race) having the third highest poverty rate (17.6%)".

    China is a tyranny and has plenty of poor to be exploited, the FBI and CIA are just rightly concerned at the greatest threat to democracy in the world.

    White Supremacy involves having laws which stipulate that only white people can have positions of authority (that is, be Supreme) over any other people, that is white people can only be masters and all others can only be slaves. How does white people outnumbering anyone else justify their enslaving everyone?

    And (insert race, creed or religion of your choice) supremacy is inevitable in societies which are overwhelmingly (insert race, creed or religion of choice). As for 'white supremacy' simple demographics is ending it.

    I'd be far more worried about 'wealth supremacy'. The increasing and grossly unequal concentration of wealth in the World is far more worrying. And time alone is not going to solve that. But I guess the good thing at least is that money is blind to anyone's race, creed, gender or religion etc . We can all be in the Billionaires Club - all it takes is the $$$

    I think there are degrees of supremacy. Every company I worked for had white bosses and a more diverse workforce. I think that qualifies as white supremacy but not slavery.

    Racism is the manifestation of the insecurity that turns normal people into Democrats. Why do you suppose its the same people who owned slaves, lynched freed slaves, instituted Jim Crow laws, formed the KKK and celebrate White Supremacist Stephen Douglas in Chicago are consumed by envy for people who earn a good living? Why do you suppose the same people who clung to the idea of a black former slave serving up pancakes and syrup are now committed to smuggling landscapers and maids across the southern border?

    I haven't been at this site very long, but I must say this is the weirdest post I've seen to date. On my former forum I was known as Red-rover. and your writing style looks very familiar.

    Economic slavery. Johnson knew what he was doing when he put in place systems that broke apart black families. I owe the wisdom to correct mistakes I made as a teen to reflections of conversations I had with my father. If the Democrat Party had been able to break up my family, I may not have done what was necessary to earn degrees and be promoted to management. Instead of earning Engineering and management credentials, I may have spent thousands on black studies, white studies, male studies, Jewish studies or some such trash. I may still be trying to pay off my schooling in identity politics as a sanitation engineer, the only engineering degree Democrats guide their subjects to pursue.

    As we sit here, Exalted Cleagle Robert Byrd is honored with a statue in the Capitol, Racist Richard Russell enjoys his name on the Senate Office Building. Thankfully, the patron saint of Progressivism, Woodrow Wilson, didn't escape the mad cancellation mob. His part in segregating bathrooms earned him his fate. His sidekick, FDR, did some of his dirty work ,,, and, adding his attacks on Jewish people and Japanese, FDR deserves to be cancelled as well. We should cancel anyone who had anything to do with segregating bathrooms. After all, North Carolina was cancelled for wanting to segregate hard dicks and the girls taking showers.

    Replaced by the class conflict between the working class and the ruling class, a conflict solved instantly since the ruling class owns the police and the military and the solution includes confiscating weapons from the underling workers.

    Jailing people for beliefs? That's not the solution. Like my family, many racist families contain a couple members who develop to not be racist, like me. I've talked to my family my whole life about race and I believe I have made a difference in some. No one says the N word around me which is huge. Although that could be attributed to the fact they know they can expect resistance from me and wish to avoid it.

    In any case I will continue to talk to my family about their racist views. But I will also continue to love them. I will not say they are evil, or demand they be jailed, or ostracize them in any way. If you want non racists in these families on your side (and they are your best weapon against racism), I would suggest treating them like people, and not a scourge .

    No one said anything about "jailing people for beliefs"!

    The racist white supremacists are going to end up behind bars because they COMMIT Hate CRIMES against We the People.

    That odious and ILLEGAL behavior is all on them!

    As Derideo says this is not about arresting people for their speech - though in the UK it would if it was deemed to be incitement to hatred or violence.

    We do not choose our families but they tend to be the most important people in our lives so it is more understandable that you collude with them in their racism. It is either a bad intellectual attitude or a hate one - that is reality. I was watching one of a series of videos yesterday about American racism. The guy was talking about a speeech which MLK had made where he said something like their approach is love and where they met the most hate they would give the most love....and the guy said, and this is not someone who blames people who are here now for the brutality that was done by their forbears...but intellectually he thought .....that will have been music to the most racist ears. We can do anything we like, burn their houses down, lynch them anything and all they are going to do is love us more. He went on to say that in his last few years MLK's attitude on things had changed a bit though people tend to ignore that. He began to see things in a different way - possibly due to his emerging friendship with Malcolm. (I said that)

    This time white Supremacists will be taken on by the whole world. That is what the internet has done. American Blacks are not alone any more.

    You have got to be joking. Even in the UK we have had people dying of hunger due to the policies of making the poorest, in particular those with disabilities pay for the Crash of 2008. Do you not know people talk and talk about the richest country in the world having some of the worst poverty and I am talking about absolute poverty, not having sufficient money for survival never mind the reality that most of you do not have as much as $500 put away for the rainy day which is arriving.

    This is on the effect of the European Colonisers to the Native Americans. I had not known we had been responsible for so many deaths both through our violence and the diseases we brought.

    They say the sudden loss of farming in what was a massive genocide led to a global cooling down effect.

    Yes it is payback time for western culture.

    Not seeing the contribution western culture has made to the world is intellectually lazy at best.

    The price for this will be astonishing!
