Mr. Biden, you are Correct, I am not Black. But as a Working White, the largest demographic...

[Simon W. Moon]

I lived just outside the gate to Kirkland AFB, were a wide variety of different people lived, families of the scientists/technicians developing nuclear weapons (my Mom) shared a property wall with people of all races, families of military members (my Dad) deploying to Vietnam and Germany. Of the twelve families with kids on my block, only two were White, and they lived at the far end of the block.
For most of my childhood, it did not matter, we were all the kids of people fighting in military units together.
Things were working out fine, before the Organized Racial Grievance crowd was imported from Mexico and the North East Coast.
And then the Dems moved in with their Damn Black Panthers from Chicago, and all the problems brought by their racist attitudes...
-

Glad things were nice for you insulated inside of the military bases.

For the rest of the country, things were very much different than how you remember them.
There were many incidents of violence and other illegal activities.
These led to multiple sets of widespread protests, police brutality, mob violence, etc., etc.


There was soooo much casual racism.
so much

Grown people used the word nigger in public casually.
They'd talk about how there were niggers and the 'good ones'.
If you were black and present company, you were 'one of the good ones'.

And these were the actions of regular folks who did not think of themselves as racist.
In those days, to be a 'racist', you had to actively dislike black folks. Calling them niggers and 'good ones' was just 'common sense stuff everyone knew', not 'racism' as they saw it.

Trump is one of those kinds of racists who don't think of themselves as racist because he doesn't actively hate black people — he just thinks of them as genetic inferiors.

I'm noticing that this issue has already started to wind down. This had even less of a shelf life than that fake story about Biden praising a 14 year old girl's boobs.

Don't you worry, Cardinal. Because the RNC and Trump Campaign will be playing it over and over again from now until November as a reminder.

That was assumed. If Republicans didn't spread baseless conspiracy theories and quotes taken out of context in order to misrepresent them, who would?

Just don't be surprised when it doesn't have any effect.

Mr. Biden, you are Correct, I am not Black. But as a Working White, the largest demographic... at nearly 62% of the voters, I am in agreement with you on one thing, I am NOT Black.

So, I will not "Qualify" for your plans for even MORE "Black-Privilege", so... Choice Made.

Mr. Trump, I look forward to your inauguration in Jan 2021.

Oh... and that plan by the Dems for lots of continued, "Black-Privilege" and "Illegal-Privilege" fraudulent voting for Biden... Ummm No!

We have Plans, Standards and Procedures to deal with that.

Have a nice day.

What is the point of this thread?

To remind everyone what a victim you think you are?

Mr. Biden got it right. I am not black, but a retired white guy. Was a Republican for years. Switched to Independent. Neither party impresses me much. There are a few good people on both sides.

Mr. Trump: You have failed to convince me to vote for you. You childish tweets, your inability to articulate other than "big", "no one has done this before", not knowing what the Constitution says, terrible leadership and not taking responsibility are reason enough. Yes the economy was doing well before CV-19. Not so much now. Bet it won't be on track by November.

Will you take responsibility when the "second wave" of CV19 hits the US because you wanted the country and churches opened up now?

Hope you enjoy your Golf results when you are not reelected.

I'm Black can you tell me about all the Black privilege I experience I have. I don't think I or any of my family members have experienced any privilege.

Does being harassed by the police count as a privilege?

Question: If you've been around long enough to know what Biden sounds like and how he talks, would you say that he sounded like he was trying to "Out-Trump Trump" with his wise-ass comment to C tha God the other day or would you say he sounded like he always sounds?

To my ears, it sounded like he was trying to one-up Trump with some brash bold statement, and his mistake was in trying to compete with Trump on something Trump is truly the master of. (spewing crude statements)

 

[Checkerboard Strangler]

I can remember a past culture in America, back in the late 60s and early 70s, when everyone thought that Skin-tone was allot like eye color, no biggy.
-

BULLCRAP.
Absolute utter bullcrap.

Even in the relatively serene State of Maryland, racial discrimination was prevalent in the 1960's.

Why do you think you can just make stuff up when there are so many people here on DP who were there?

 

[Checkerboard Strangler]

Remembering the 60's and the 70's as being an era of racial tolerance and equality is the definition of white privilege. Actual racial equality where you don't get a choice on whether or not to confront the reality of minority racial injustice is a threat to your privilege, and so to you it feels like oppression. What is really happening is that the scales are coming into balance. Since you are on the higher scale, you feel like it is racist poison, but what is actually happening is minorities are slowly rising up to your level with every battle for justice that they win. I'm sorry if that offends and frightens you, but it is the price we pay to live in a just society where all people have equal rights and equal opportunity.

To people who grew up with privilege, equality feels like oppression.

What happened is simple: Biden not only stepped in it, he did a ****ing CANNONBALL into it!

 

[redbeer]

If the Biden statements about being "Black" are really how he thinks and feels, we are better off knowing where he is coming from in earnest.

If find that the entire concept of voting based entirely on my Skin-tone is foolish and divisive.

It is also Un-Constitutional! The Government should be held to "Equal Protection" based on the 14th Amendment! The government should not be giving help to some, based on Race, and not to others!

And if our government were treating U.S. equally, there would be no race-based difference between voters and their support of Trump vs. Biden, we would be looking at who has the best plans to move the nation, its economy, and the health and welfare of its people forward and protected, as a whole, and not as racial sub-groups.

The Left and now, the Democrats see EVERYTHING through the lens of Identity Politics, and have done so for decades. It is poison!

Trump is far from perfect, and often does/says/tweets things which makes me cringe. But compared to what I see coming from any of the Democrats, he is clearly the lesser of evils.

I miss JFK and the Moon Shots.

I miss Pride in being an American, and America being Exceptional, for things other than the largest per capita Covid19 infection rate.

I miss the Race-Blind ethos of the late 1960s. We never really achieved the goal, but at least we were trying to in the correct direction.

I miss Clean, Silly, Upbeat Rock-N-Roll of the 1980s, the Car's "Magic" , and greatly dislike the "Cop-Killer" Gangster Rap.



Why do we need Gummo's "Blickly with a Stiffy"?



America has lost its way under the leadership of the Lefties and the Democratic Party!

-

I totally hear you....the Cars are much better than the nutcase Gummo. Listening to that crap, it's no wonder why so many have lost their way....jeesh. Identity politics keeps people away from the issues, programs and plans of candidates, and into superficial blinding of people into not seeing the truth of others.

Biden has always had an ordinary guy way of speaking. That was his appeal to blue-collar voters even though he's an attorney. He tries to sound like a working class guy. Trump does the same thing but Biden has been doing it longer so I can't say he's trying to copy Trump.

Spot on.

You're doing the straw man thing. You're interpreting Biden's comment in an absurd way and then attacking this imagined meaning.

If you're Black and you heard Trump calling Black players who are protesting police brutality in their Black communities "sons of bitches" then you're not voting for Trump.

If you heard about Trump calling African countries "****holes" whose citizens he didn't want here and you're Black, you're not voting for Trump.

If you heard Trump talking about how cops should rough up suspects and you're a Black person familiar with police brutality in your neighborhoods, you're not voting for Trump.

If you don't have a problem with Trump doing these things then most likely "you ain't Black."

Sounds like what the Anti-Trumpers have done for the last 3 years! :lol:

Talk about hypocrisy writ large!

BREAKING: It was Biden who convinced Obama to ask about spicy or dijon mustard when ordering a hamburger.

No no, I only meant in that interview the other morning.
In that interview he didn't quite sound like Biden...he kept trying to whip up some kind of more intense version of himself.
I don't think he would admit to trying to out-Trump Trump, but it seemed like it anyway.

So you're saying he sounded just like he always does?
