Democrats have had since 1964 (56 years) to solve blacks problems. Why believe them now?

I was just out of the Army, home from Germany when the Civil Rights law (passed only due to republican efforts in the form of Everett Dirksen who broke the logjam of the democrats and recall it happening at the time.

So let's get real on this issue. Democrats talk talk talk but in the past 56 years have not come close to resolving blacks issues. The following is a discussion between two blacks. I urge you watch their discussion.

Trump and the republicans have busted hump to help blacks. A good many blacks are seriously appreciative and I expect blacks to elect Trump this time.



Blacks don't need anyone to solve their problems.

They need to do it themselves
 
It means as much any listener as your BLM means. Trump did not say it anyway.

And when he heard the commotion, he took it down. No racist would have taken it down.

Really? You are claiming white supremacy and blacks not wanting to be disproportionately murdered are on the same level?

He only took it down after people called him out for being racist. And LOTS of racists delete obviously racist content later. It's called "spin control".
 
Fort Sumter ceased to be the property of South Carolina in 1829, when the land was ceded (VOLUNTARILY) by the South Carolina government to the Federal government. When they voted to depart the Union, they did so unilaterally and without any negotiation over the ownership of shared property, they abrogated all claims they had to it. They then attacked and invaded sovereign US territory and a US military base, acts of war under any international definition.

Only AFTER that happened did Lincoln invade Confederate territory.

You are the one defending racist Southern Conservative Democrats in this thread.

That was the old state not the state that seceded.

I am not defending a thing to do with that unjust war that killed over 630,000. I heartily object and shall object to the killing that resulted from the Abe invasion to Manassas, VA. That killed people Nobody was injured at all at Sumter by the puny cannons then used.

That is a con job. This is not about racial justice, it was and still is over a criminal killed by one cop in Minnesota.

The south picked a fight....and got their butt kicked

Why would the state that seceded have any claim to Sovereign territory of the United States?

Just because the Confederate attack on Fort Sumter was incompetent, that means nothing. It was still an act of war. If the Confederate government in Richmond disagreed with it (spoiler alert: they didn't), they should have expelled South Carolina from the Confederacy. They had plenty of time to do so and then the war would have only been between the USA and South Carolina.

What is white supremacy? Where is it a group the size of the blacks who terrorized cities saying Black lives matter?

Martin Luther King believed all lives matter, not just black lives.

You are whining that one old man yelled two times, "white power" Yet you refuse to define what that means.

Wow, this shows how out of touch you are with reality. Do you think BLM didn't exist prior to George Floyd's death?

Martin Luther King also believed "riots are the language of the unheard", but you condemn him for supporting violent groups.

Are you really going to act so stupid to not understand what "white power" and "white supremacy" mean as if Neo-Nazis have not been a thing in America for more than 60 years?

I never heard of a war that commenced with no injuries, no deaths and a Major that took off to safety.

When Abe invaded the sovereign state of VA, he meant death was coming and he lost his first battle.

Casualties at the Battle of First Bull Run (Battle of First Manassas), the first major ... McDowell's 28,400 men suffered 480 killed, 1,000 wounded, and 1,200 ... had enough of soldiering, but many Federal soldiers were taken prisoner and sent to ..

So Abe himself was very incompetent in his first attack on a sovereign state.

You're president in 1861. The United States military has just been attacked by another nation. Would you have immediately surrendered or would you have fought back?

You are scared out of your mind by some old man who yelled white power. That beats all i ever heard in my entire life.

Sure you have. The US Civil War started exactly like that. So you have heard of one.

Virginia when Lincoln invaded it was not a "sovereign state". It was a state within the sovereign Confederate States of America, it housed the Confederate capital, its federal government, and the lion share of its war industry. Why would the US not attack the capital state of the country that had attacked and invaded them?

And I agree, the First Battle of Manassas was incompetent. Lincoln wasn't commanding it, so I'm not sure why you say he was. The only thing that matters is that the United States won and the racist, slave loving Southern Conservatives were put in their place. My only regret is that Southern culture wasn't totally annihilated during reconstruction.

Where did I say I was "scared out of my mind"? Quote me.

Even when you lie, like your president, you can't even lie creatively.
 
You're president in 1861. The United States military has just been attacked by another nation. Would you have immediately surrendered or would you have fought back?

Frankly the cost in human life was so enormous, far more dead than in WW2 and WW1 and Korea and Vietnam. Abe got many killed.

It is not that i support slavery nor ever have. I do not support slavery as did George Washington and Thomas Jefferson and 10 more presidents.

I support the right to live as a free man and the south voted to stay or leave. Not all states that voted decided to leave. Yet those also had slaves among them.

While accurate to say slaves are never free men, at that time the constitution as written did not call for them to be free men.

I did not lie. I believe you are so scared that white power truly scares you half to death.

There would not be a democrat living were they all annihilated over the war.

The party should have died then and there.

So you would have meekly surrendered like a coward rather than righting back against attack by a hostile foreign power?

BTW, you do realize that the only reason why the war counts as having more dead than those wars is because the dead on BOTH SIDES get counted at American deaths, right?

You think only Southerners were Democrats? Seriously if you are this ignorant of history, you should bow out now.
 
Wow, this shows how out of touch you are with reality. Do you think BLM didn't exist prior to George Floyd's death?

They existed but got fired up over the criminal George Floyd.

You need to see the video showing his capture and how hard he fought to not be put into the back seat of the cop car.

The only time I faced a cops gun, I put up no fight at all and then got released by the cop who then became my friend.

Oh woe is me. I just made a case for white lives matter.
 
Based on what? You realize I myself am white, right?

You and this is my opinion, show up to provocate, to make hell for those who are not democrats.

You are attempting to punish me over my view of voters rights (of the old south) and my desire men do not die in combat over race. And Abe for a man called great sure took no action to evade war.

So when you said BLM "was and still is over a criminal killed by one cop in Minnesota" were you lying or just stupid?

Congratulations on your privilege by the way. If you had a single moral bone in your body, you'd use that privilege to help people who don't have it, but instead you'd rather claim they are all racists for not wanting to be murdered by cops.

The South made the decision of war for Lincoln. He didn't have any choice in the matter the second their guns attacked the US military. But then again, Abe wasn't a meek coward like you would have been.

I want to be so terribly unkind to you just as you are to me. I refuse.
