Maxine Waters Won’t Rule Out All-Black Party

Look at who they elected as president. The biggest race baiter of them all. Conservatives are very much obsessed with race.

I really don't see too much of a distinction between the two parties. Seeing as everyone has been making it about race ever since Obama said he would be running back before 08. Its just a tactic now, and unfortunately it seems to be getting worse no matter the side of the isle you sit on.

It might be more effective in a parliamentary system.

Otherwise, I believe she'd do better declaring it a voting bloc or coalition.

But who knows? I'm all for more parties and more voices.

Parties mean fewer voices; not more.

:shock: Isn't she the one who just got done calling Alan Dershowitz {sic} a racist? Laughable as that is, then she comes out with this tripe....

So, just so we are straight on this, any other white politician come out and say that they wouldn't rule out an 'all white party' would be run out of town, and rightfully so....

Maxine Watters should be an embarrassment to democrats.

There's a way to secure a solid 10% of the vote. :roll:

And that 10% would become even more marginalized.

So I Googled "Maxine Waters-all-black party" just to see what the most recent news is and discovered that in two pages, there were no MSM links:

Hmmmm....I would argue in this day and age where the template of media sources, and how people get their news, that the Daily Caller IS every bit MSM as a say MSNBC, FNC, or CNN....But it really isn't surprising that outlets like that won't pick up the embarrassing news of the democrats in largely democrat run and biased news outlets is it? I mean come on....

If you think a party that champions equal rights for blacks is divisive, that seems like your problem rather than anyone else's.

Campaigning and advocating for equal rights is fantastic. But why do I sense that's not the case here? Deep down, not on the surface. I sense that it's another step in what I have been observing as a push for "the new segregation".

Someone else earlier in the thread said making it a voting bloc or something similar would be a better and more effective way to advocate, and I agree with that.

How tolerant and inclusive of her.
As I said these people have no clue on definitions of words.

Really? How many white members of the CBC are there? Hell, How many black CBC members are republican?



Tell me exactly how blacks are oppressed today?

Black Caucus: Whites Not Allowed - POLITICO

None actually and if you are white you had better not even try to ask to join.

Idk, the fact that she didn't immediately rule out a poorly-defined hypothetical isn't terribly meaningful to me.

I'm not a big fan of when a racial group is exclusionary, but i also generally don't care much even if they do as long as they don't institutionalize hatred of other groups.

Then explain how "all black" could possibly be interpretted as meaing something other than "all black".

BTW - Congratulations on managing to throw in a nice little TDS post into a thread that has nothing to do with Pres. Trump.

If I registered as a party member, then it wouldn't be all black. The interviewer never used all black in his question. That was coined by the Dailey Caller. You know, part of the msm.

Never run with a j-mac op. It'll bite your ass everytime.
 
Why not, we already have a party that excludes blacks, its called the GOP.

The saddest thing about this rediculous response I've gotten so far is that "all black" is a term Breitbart and Daily Caller used not MW or the interviewer.

Go figure they are more interested in propoganda than the truth.

What don't you understand about the meaning of "ALL"?

adjective

1. the whole of (used in referring to quantity, extent, or duration):
all the cake; all the way; all year.

2. the whole number of (used in referring to individuals or particulars, taken collectively):
all students.

3. the greatest possible (used in referring to quality or degree):
with all due respect; with all speed.

Not really, and the OP was about what MW said and she never advocated for an "all black" party. The thread is premised on a straw man.

We know the meaning of "all." Please quote MW using that term. Thanks.

No, really, he did. You're having trouble reading again:

How do you know when she was asked if she would be OK having an all black party that she meant that it would restrict membership to anyone?

If you come back with "all black" means whites would be restricted from joining, I will barf all over you.

Okee dokee - I think he hadn't noticed the "all black" was the straw man created by the Daily Caller, and even then that person noted that even had she said "all black" (she did not say that) it would not mean that ONLY blacks could join.

Bottom line is the OP is premised on a straw man, and even to the extent that MW left open the possibility in the future for a hypothetical, the gist of her comment was clear enough. Before blacks can even entertain such a notion (their own political party), they have to FIRST exercise the power they do have in the existing parties - vote, run for office, etc...

The article was pretty bad click bait - nothing more than that. I've said too much already on the subject.
