Spin, spin, and more spin... gotta make it all about racism. That's the liberal narrative, and they're gonna keep poundin' it and poundin' it until everyone believes it.

Never mind that many of the same whites who voted for Trump in 2016 also voted for Obama in 2008 and 2012. Doesn't matter. Cause they're RACIS'.

Being confronted with reality on a daily basis, and voting for your interests, isn't correctly characterized as racism.

It's called identity politics.

Every other ethnicity has been practicing it for a long time. Obama's Presidency demonstrated that it's necessary for Caucasians to be a part of it.

Race issues weren't even on the radar for many, many years before Obama.

Lots of people voted for Trump in hopes of seeing the race issues go away.

When Jesse Jackson ran for the presidential nomination he pooled better with whites in states with few blacks. I think his highest success among whites was in North Dakota and Illinois was among the lowest.

Almost nothing that they call racist is actually racist, that does not stop the media and liberals from accusing everyone and everything of it.

I'll veer the thread a few degrees off course.

I'm definitely racist toward black people. I love living in Idaho because there are so few black people here, although we are getting more.

Now I'll mitigate that by saying that I don't hate all black people because they are black, don't really hate anybody but I am extremely prejudiced toward young black males or any "person of color" who strikes me as trash* whether they are male or female. Many African-Americans, negroes, black people, whatever, definitely have a cultural problem that makes it dangerous to be around black neighborhoods. It's even more dangerous for the folks who live in those neighborhoods.

And while that problem affects me (or did when I lived in areas with a large population of black people) it's not my problem to fix. Neither I nor any white or Asian person can fix it, only black people can do that by a fundamental change of attitude. Some, many, have. Many haven't - those are the ones I am deeply prejudiced against and will move to a "ready to draw immediately" status the few times they are around me here.

While I no longer live around a lot of black people, I once did and that memory is hard to erase.






* I've thought about this quite a lot and my prejudices are more toward "people of trash" no matter what color they are. We can go on and on about what constitutes white or black or Asian trash, but the prejudice and avoidance/threat reaction is more toward a low class behavior and attitude than the color of their skin. That said, I will react more readily toward a young black male until I see he is not a threat since an abundance of empirical evidence shows that it is foolish not to. Even Jesse Jackson tells the story of walking at night in a neighborhood in or around Washington D.C. and hearing footsteps behind him, and then feeling so relieved to turn around and see that the people behind him where white.

Lived near them. Worked with them. 20 murders in one year in the county where I used to live. 21 people arrested. 20 black. All convicted.

Moved to rural West Virginia. No negros no crime. Went to a gun show in Charleston,WV. the states capitol. Very large negro population.

Sirens and flashing lights all damn day. Plenty of murders.

I live in a very rural area but my county as a whole is 55% black. I can't remember the last time a black person in a grocery store that didn't use an EBT card. On here you'll constantly see me harping on the welfare state and how it is the root of many of the wrongs in the U.S., my up close and personal experiences with that are the reason I'm so against it. The welfare state has exploded under Obama, I don't think most realize how much it has grown. One sixth of the country is on Food Stamps, not to mention the other 180 or so welfare programs out there. That's incredible and not sustainable. It only promised to get worse under Hillary Clinton. At the same time I'm paying almost 50% of my income to the government. Unless the Democrats make a radical change from their platform of taxing the producers to buy votes from the non-working they'll never get my vote, it's just self preservation.

The problem with the welfare state is that as the producers realize what suckers they are, more and more of them stop pulling the cart and hop aboard. Eventually you have more aboard than are pulling.
