So it’s ok for West Point, Naval Academy, and Air Force Academy to continue to perform reverse discrimination, using the words of opponents of affirmative action.
Lol anyone who challenges the Democrats/state is a bot to the cult
So what. They saw the issues Aff Action caused. Which is why they have stumped against it since the day they received it. Yet you can't seem to understand that someone with first hand knowledge would have a better view of the issue than your left wing talking points.
That's the definition of bigotry of low expectations.
No way in hell he has. He's too indoctrinated of the opinion that he's just a traitor to his race.
You have literally no proof whatsoever of this ridiculous statement.
He never has any proof following up any of his ridiculous statements. Will never forget his “90% of republicans are white supremacists” line he got from urban radio that he believes as fact 😂
Boiler Buck said, "MLK would beam with pride". I don't see a post from you responding to him. Does Boiler Buck have proof of what he just said? Is his statement ridiculous? You most likely agree with his statement and therefore it is not deemed ridiculous by you. Y'all are amazing with this stuff. Y'all are trying to tell a black man, that has heard a dozen or so of MLK's speeches in their entirety, watched countless MLK documentaries, what he would have thought about the ruling. In the midst of taking one line, from one speech out of context. Wow.
You’re the king of taking people’s quotes out of context. You’re exactly who you get mad at.
You, too, have no idea what Dr. King would be thinking. I, too have read his speeches and have a working knowledge of his life. The great tragedy is that he was killed before his work was done. Maybe the hucksters that have made political careers or gained financially from racial issues would have had little reason to exist today.
Systemic racism took a big hit today.
I thought there was no such thing as systemic racism. Isn’t that what y’all always tell me. So, now there is systemic racism when whites folks are in the so called wrong end of it? Who’s crying victimization now?
You're right, but I didn't read his post. He doesn't have proof of that. However, his statement is more in line with what MLK said he stood for. It's believed that he was a Republican so it's less ridiculous to think he'd think the way Buck said as well.
Of course, I don't have proof. But I guarantee y'all that he would be appalled at the recent supreme court ruling on affirmative action. Yes, MLK was a republican along with most blacks, particularly in the south prior to the late 60s due to the racist democrats during Jim Crow. That changed in the late 60s when most of the racist Dixiecrats went over to the republican party and trained by racist republican strategist, Lee Atwater on how to be racist without being as bold and overt as they did when they were democrats. That later became the Nixon Southern Strategy. Since then most blacks left the republican party and gone over to the Democratic party.
Oh, it's a lot better thanks to MLK and the many civil rights activists that literally sacrificed their lives for equality. Thanks to Arthur Fletcher the black republican and the father of affirmative action. Because of affirmative action, things are a lot better. But as far as being over, you are very very wrong. The US has a way to go before racism is over.
You can't guarantee anything. You also have history wrong as to why blacks switched to vote for Republicans. Almost no Dixiecrats switched to the Republican party. There were maybe 2 in both the Senate and the House. That's not making an entire group switch parties.
So you tell me. Why did blacks vote republican during Jim Crow prior to the 60s and then switched over to the Democrats after the 60s? Doesn't matter how many Dixiecrats switched over, and I'm not just talking on the national level, I know Strom Thurman did. The fact is that some did. Combined that to the fact that republican Barry Goldwater as Senator voted against either the Civil Rights or Voting Rights bills or both. Ran against Lyndon Johnson for president in 1964 and lost. Plus Lyndon Johnson signed both of those bills and became a champion for civil rights. Then the southern strategy fiasco led to blacks leaving the republicans in droves. Of course a lot stayed to this day. So since the the late 60s and early 70s, the republican party became the party of white supremacy. You can't deny that the racist democrats during Jim Crow voted against bills like the Anti-Lynching bill and just recently as 2 or 3 years ago, the republicans, including black Sen. Tim Scott voted against a similar Anti-Lynching bill and a Voting Rights bill.
They didn't. They switched in the 1930's because of new deal benefits.
Here's your proof. Blacks started voting heavily D in the mid 1930's because of New Deal policies. Has nothing to do with the racism you state. That's a left wing lie to try to keep blacks voting D.
It is mostly over. Only someone that believes everything their party tells them would think it's not mostly over. Especially when they state that they have not personally experienced it.
That’s blacks voting for president. That doesn’t mean that they were democrat. I’m talking about being a registered Republican or democrat. Not who you voted for. Remember FDR was a stone cold racist. A lot of blacks were left out of that New Deal. Blacks at that time weren't even allowed to participate in the new social economic plan during time most people refer to it as welfare. Truman wasn’t too bad as he fully intergrated the US armed forces.
You, the Boneman and others need to really stop saying that the Democratic Party tells black people how to think and stuff. That is offensive, particularly when you are trying to state your case that racism is over. Black people’s experiences tell us what to think and how to react. If the Dems and liberals want to pander that is on them.
So you're telling me that over 70% of the black community voted Democrat solid from 1930 on weren't really Democrat because they were registered Republican? DaFukk?? You have actual stats to back that up I assume? Because I brought stats. You know, real evidence of what I say. Not some ghost in the wind made up bullshit that you heard on talk radio.
I'm sorry but that's a stone cold lie. Why do you believe systemic racism exists? It's all you hear about on the media. Yet there is NO proof of it whatsoever.
As we all know, during that time, the country was divided north and south. Also, as we all know there are presidential, state and local elections. Unless you are Candace Owens or Lee Elder, blacks in Alabama, MS, GA, SC, NC, etc. did not vote for the racist democrats in state and local elections like George Wallace and their predecessors. During that time a lot blacks migrated to the northern states for jobs and education. Perhaps the numbers of black democrats in the north were a higher, particularly when they moved larger metro areas like Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland, etc. But what I do know for sure is that after Johnson signed the Civil and Voting rights bills, it was a wrap. Blacks left the Republican Party behind. Your chart does show that also. Growing up in the 70s and 80s in NW Indiana, I don’t know anyone blacks that was Republican. That is still the case today.
None of what you said disputes the facts I've presented you. In fact, 1964 was the highest year ever for blacks voting Dem and it dropped off some after that. How is that so if blacks weren't able to vote or anything in the South until after that?
Dude, you keep referring to your chart about presidential elections. Again, southern states, state and local governments were racist as hell. Other than Candace Owens, they ain’t voting for local racist public office seekers. Attempts to stop blacks from voting? Are you kidding me? In the south, it was law that they had to guess the number of jelly beans in a jar. Pole taxes and literacy tests etc. But your chart still reflects 80% plus voting for democratic president since after the peak on 1960.None of what you said disputes the facts I've presented you. In fact, 1964 was the highest year ever for blacks voting Dem and it dropped off some after that. How is that so if blacks weren't able to vote or anything in the South until after that?
No, the truth is that your statements are not rooted in facts. Yes, you're right that there were attempts to stop blacks from voting in the South, but not all of them were stopped. It was welfare that brought the black vote to Dems and it's a plain fact of history that you're choosing to ignore.
How Blacks became Blue: The 1936 African American Voting Shift From the Party of Lincoln to the New Deal Coalition
Despite the vast research done on the African American influence in the Democratic Party, comparably little has been done on what led them to become part of the Democratic Party in the first place. This study offers an overview of the rich political history of the African American experience...digitalcommons.salve.edu
Owens and Elder are blacks who have done something with their lives, unlike you. That’s why you hate them so much. Good for them for not letting the Democrat party enslave them like you have been.
Joe Biden "If you don't vote for me, you ain't black". There it is. Undisputable facts from 2020.
When Ulric (Rick) Haynes was the head of personnel at Cummins in Columbus, Indiana my brother-in-law not only worked for him, but was a very good friend of his. Enough that Rick allowed him access to about 30K to take care of the horses and stuff while he was away as a Jimmy Carter appointee that was later one of the head negotiators for the Iranian hostage. Those alive back then are aware of the quotas. Rick said we aren’t going to just find a black and hire him. We will hire the “best” black candidate possible, because it wasn’t fair to those deserving to have another black hired because he was black. What I thought was interesting was the use of the word “best”, rather than “qualified”.
I agree, those are some stunning statistics. Very hard to comprehend it’s that many. 😯
