The kind of statement you get when some white people don't want to hear about the parts of history that might be a 'wee bit' racist, so they think only the issues of their present time are just the worst.

For one, the 1960s would like a word with you, but here's a nice big long list of political porn on this subject for you to enjoy: "Racial Violence in the United States Since 1526".

It was suspiciously quiet for a very long time, though. Kinda hard to ignore that part.

Not saying I think everything is a conspiracy. But a lot of healing had been done over a period of many years, before certain race-hustlers started picking at the scab and getting everybody all riled up again.

That is true. The ones crying out racism the loudest also want to put races in boxes. Only this race can do that, only that race can do that, or if you're a certain race you're expected to think, act and vote a certain way. Or else it's racial appropriation or some other nonsense.

Isn't that segregation?

lol im not white im hispanic/latino (not to be confused with “LATINX”, a racial homophobic slur aimed at gay and transgendered latinos/latinas, the term was probably invented by some liberal white woman with pink hair trying to change our language and culture)

this may surprise you, but not all conservatives or “Trumpsters” are cisgendered heterosexual white males.

anyway, thanks for the history lesson. looks like the race riots peaked in 1972, then was resurrected in 2009, just in time for obama’s presidency. race hustlers today are acting as if slavery still exists and white supremacy is America’s biggest problem today. the 1960’s you refer to is when there actually was still racism and segregation, but we all know that’s not the case anymore, even though liberals/democrats are working hard to divide the country by racism, isn’t that the whole point of blm? new world order wants to divide and conquer.

There was the Rodney King thing but that wasn't really indicative of where society was as a whole back then. By that point stuff like that had been reduced to pretty much isolated incidents such as that one.

I mean obviously this (and every) country has a really bad history with racial sh*t but at some point you gotta at least TRY and move on. The 70s, 80s and 90s were all about that, and we did great with it for a while. Then it all got f*cked up again and now we're almost right back where we started.

You're never going to "eliminate racism" because human beings are tribal. What you CAN do, is try NOT to make every single issue a matter of race, and just teach people to be better to each other in general. Again, like kids were taught "back in my day".

Like, my Dad made some racist jokes, so on the surface some people might have called him "racist" and said he was terrible based on that. BUT, he also threw a guy out of our house one time for making racist comments about a friend of mine (who wasn't even there). So it's like... yeah, things aren't always as simple as "black and white", literally.

The best was when my buddy (who was black) came over to hang out on Martin Luther King Day, and my Dad greeted him with "Hey man, Happy James Earl Ray Day!" My friend literally laughed at that one for hours. Because he knew my Dad wasn't really a racist, he just liked getting a rise out of people. Come to think of it, he might have even been living with us at the time, since he did that off and on for a couple of years. Something that definitely wouldn't have happened if my Dad was, y'know... actually racist.

Things were better back then. People sure got along better.

I agree with you wholeheartedly. And it makes my blood boil when ignorant so-called Hispanic *******s proudly call themselves Latinx.

White man gives them a name and these Pinche Culeros proudly take it. Yes gringo, whatever you say gringo.

****ers need to be deported back to Mexico for a few years to remember their culture. And I can ****in say that.

****ing ignorant race traitors.

You mean during the time that people were provoking racism with the "birther" conspiracies and whatnot? Wait, who was that again who also picked it up and was purposely stirring that racism pot with all that, trying to very transparently rile up racist sentiment about Obama for his own would-be campaign? Ohhh... RIGHHHHT... that guy.

[Leo656]

The thing is, you don't get Trump without Obama.

Obama's victory symbolized a relaxation of standards on what it took to actually be President. All it took was being the more popular choice, in spite of qualifications. As a Senator, he'd consistently only voted "present" on every major issue that he was called to vote upon, basically not taking a side on anything. He had no record to speak of. He simply was not qualified for the job. He talked a good game, said all the right things, but it's NOT supposed to be a popularity contest.

The only noteworthy thing he did in Chicago, was lean on banks to give home loans and mortgages to low-income minorities who had no chance in ever being able to afford them. Those people then defaulted on their loans and the government, in turn... blamed the banks. The banks who only gave out those bad loans because they were told to. Multiply that nationwide, you have the 2008 mortgage crisis. Was it all his fault, solely? No, he was still just in Chicago when this was happening. But it was him and people like him who "forced" the banks to set the entire situation in motion, to a degree. That's indisputable fact. There were other factors, but that was a big one.

BUT, none of that mattered, because "If you don't want Obama to win, you're a racist." Even though the guy had no record, and what record he did have was far from sparkling.

McCain had the record and the qualifications. In a vacuum, he was the correct choice between the two. Now, sticking him with Palin did him no favors at all, and he ran a sh*t campaign anyway, nearly entirely reactionary. But he never had a chance because the whole thing was a popularity contest. A young-ish, hip black dude versus The Whitest Man Alive. "Hope and Change" vs. "The Establishment". The fix was in from the start, and I don't mean literally that it was fixed, I mean that they created a situation by manipulating the media so that if you didn't go for Obama, "You're A Racist". You were not even allowed to point out that he had no record to stand on. You were just supposed to root for the guy because of his skin color, because "It's only fair", and then hope he actually did a good job.

And then he got in, and... didn't do much. Again, he PROMISED, during his original campaign, to set abortion rights in stone. He had a full Congressional majority behind him so he easily had the power to make good on his promise, and... he did NOT do as he promised, and NOW, because he lied, we're in the sh*t situation we're in with regard to abortion rights. It is directly because of him. He had the ball, he had a clear path to the end zone, and he fumbled.

I'm not going to get into all the various scandals he was involved in that we were all told to ignore, because I don't want to make it a hit piece. Suffice to say, though, ALL he really accomplished in his eight years was "being the first Black President". Which to me shouldn't matter as much as being a really GOOD one, which he actually wasn't. Being "less bad than This Guy or That Guy" doesn't mean you did a good job. It just means you knew how to sit still and not make things worse.

But he didn't HAVE to be any good at the job, because NOW it's just a popularity contest, officially.

And because of THAT, when his turn was up, a bunch of people turned around and elected a fast-talking carny con artist because he had a lot of money and a popular game show on TV. Because now, it REALLY doesn't matter what your qualifications are. If you say all the right things, You Win. That's all it takes, now. No record? No qualifications? No Problem.

You don't get Trump without Obama. It's a straight line.

In hindsight, one thing that amuses me is that in 2008, the Democrats made McCain's age a talking point by implying he was too old to be trusted with the Presidency, implying he might go senile or drop dead during his term. And then fast-forward to recent times, and they give us... Joe Biden. This is what I'm always saying about these people and their hypocrisy and double-standards. "Whatever it takes to win", that's the stance they'll take. No consistency whatsoever.

Yes, this is all true, but then again, I think all politicians are criminals and liars in one way or another.

Anyone who thinks either side cares about the citizenry are dummies. But it's very clear the world is full of dummies. And again, and again, people will look to their 'kings' in red and blue to save them while these 'kings' sit in their mansions, eating their fancy dinners, while laughing with their rich friends (ironically other politicians and other elites) about what suckers their supporters are.

Politics is a performance art, after all. One that they get to profit off of, rewarded by wealth and power/control over our lives. Kings in red and blue.

****!!! You're right! I remember that. Their main thing was 'oh noes John McCain is too old, he might drop dead mid-term and now we're stuck with Nailin Pailin'. Like that was legit one of their strongest arguments, that if you vote for McCain you're pretty much voting for Pailin which was seen as too unqualified to run the country.

And now we're exactly in the situation they described, where Biden can drop dead and we'd be stuck with On-Her-Knees Harris.

[Leo656]

I mean, they weren't wrong about Palin, she's a f*cking idiot. Pretty sexy, but nothing upstairs. I wouldn't trust her as President of a book club. So I mean yeah, fair point.

But to use the age thing as a weapon against McCain in 2008, and then run Biden in 2020... let's look at objective facts.

In 2008, John McCain was 71 years old.

In 2020, Joe Biden was 77 years old.

Whaaaaaaat the actual f*ck, man.

Leaving out Palin, Harris, or any other external factors at all... what a bunch of f*cking hypocrites.

i know right!? i havent met any actual “LATINX” people in person, just hear about their virtue signaling on tv and on twitter. but now we know there’s a whole lotta ai chicom bots on twitter who build a narrative, manipulating users thoughts and just goin with the flow, even the ny yankees just recently tweeted something about “LATINX”, just so they can virtue signal and their fans see how woke they are. most latin people i talk to hate the idea of “LATINX”. i can only imagine what they are teaching kids about it in schools these days. sad!

i mean he’s not wrong right? i dont see how that is interpreted as racist, it is a requirement for a U.S. president to be born in U.S., right? we all know obama’s a big phony nwo puppet. just crazy how easy it was for him once installed, to slowly destroy a once great nation in 8 years inciting so much hate and division. sad!

[Coola Yagami]

The only idiot I seen (so far) openly and proudly call himself LatinX is the one dude who played Luigi in the Mario movie.
