    Blacks voting for Democrats. That's the plantation. Look at how Kanye West and Candice Owens are treated.

    Kanye West is a Jackass regardless of who he votes for. I haven't really paid much attention to Candice Owens so to be fair, I can't say much about her one way or the other. However, if she is anything like, say, Ann Coulter or Sarah Palin, then I would have to say she is a jackass as well. My reason for using Ann Coulter and/or Sarah Palin was simply because they are so awful that they have come to my attention. I'm surprised that Anne Coulter still supports Donny Doll Hands.. He certainly hasn't treated transgender individuals very fairly at all and one would think, considering her Adams Apple, that she would take exception to that particular bigotry.

    Imagine my shock when I read this.

    I'm willing to bet that anybody who disagrees with you politically you're going to consider a jackass.


    so anybody who doesn't absolutely hate the president is jackass by your standard.

    I'm sorry your standard is useless.
    So it's okay to use transgenderism as a pejorative when you're attacking someone on the political right.

    Don't let anybody off the plantation you're apparently one of the members.

    The plantation exists only in your mind. Repeat after me: There is no plantation. While we are dispelling fantasies, you may as well face the fact that there is no deep state, either. I said Kanye West was a Jackass regardless of his political standing, which kind of kills your accusation that I dislike anyone who politically disagrees with me. Donald Trump is also a jackass IMO, but I don't condemn anyone just because they don't agree with me. Some people are more gullible than I am. I accept that and do not think less of them for it. As far as transgender goes, I didn't use the subject to attack anyone. I find the RW attitude toward LGBT community abhorrent and I am disgusted by how the ball-less Republican lawmakers have stood by while Trump and his bigoted ilk have stripped away their rights and protections. I merely expressed my surprise at how Ann Coulter, with her very obvious masculine attributes, could support someone as bigoted as Trump is against transgender individuals.

    Not in favor. Now, if we are talking about property stolen from the parents and returned to their children, that is different.

    Assuming such reparations were paid to black people, then what? Do you think anything would change for today's black culture? What would the dems offer for votes afterwards?

    cash payments. if you guys can pay descendants of jewish folk you can pay descendants of black folk, we're only talking a matter of 50 years separating the two events, an arbitrary boundary but one that you

    its proverbial.
    Sure it does.
    Donald Trump has been the only president to not condemn same-sex marriage in his campaign or at any time during his presidency. Bill Clinton did it George Bush did it Barack Obama did it, Al Gore did it John Kerry did it.

    So what attitude is abhorrent?
    Yes that's mockery of trans people you're using it as an insult.

    How much money were you planning on giving them?

    I would bet the vast majority would spend the money on cars.... with expensive rims.

    And it is because of the attitude like yours we have government supported habitually unemployed, gazillions of Illegal Aliens, sanctuary cities and Congressmen who think if too many people gather on one side of the island, it may tip over and capsize. And I’m not even gonna mention former presidents who transformed Oval Office into an Oral Orifice or been to 57 US states. It is because of attitude like yours America needs to be made great again.

    But it's so much easier than actually earning things on your own.
