No worries. I am just far less optimistic than you and Coates are. I do admire some of his ideas, particularly his exposition of redlining etc. I am just of the opinion that there will never be an antidote for racism and hatred of black people.

Chuck Todd is the epitome of the milquetoast, mediocre white men fawning over a bully, racist, and congenital liar.

I know all that. I’ve followed him since he was at the Atlantic and he was writing about comics and gaming. I just don’t agree that it will happen no matter how impassioned he is about it. I think after this, he will write and be up for Nobel Prize.

I am fatalistic because it will never be a good time. He’s pleading a case with a monster in the white house now and so many people agreeing with him. Reparations will never happen. Ever, because he is sincerely attempting to tackle a problem that is so entrenched that it is almost genetic mainstay of existence. It…

White supremacists by their world view lack empathy, remorse, and they see those they hate as less then nothing. Yet he wants leniency. He illustrates that those with that ideology are often cowards at heart. Why not just get it over with since he’s never going to see the light of day as a free “man”.

Ive said this in the other thread. Latinos was the only minority group that voted for Trunp overwhelmingly compared to blacks and even Asians. Many actually agree with Trump and also many identify as white. Trump just needs Florida Latinos and he will likely get it as their support hasnt really faltered since 2016.

This is s fair point. I am not sure that their strategy is that sophisticated for Black people. He’s ensuring his main base and to get more white men and women to vote for him. And also get more Latinos. Despite what is happening at the border, far more Latinos voted for him then Black people. And at least the state…

Black men voting for that pissant is a real problem and also that there is ongoing abuse from black men toward black women. I just dont think it matters or that the Dems will use the truth that is a google away to get Trump.

Yeah. I dismiss. Its not worth it. But people keep pulling them out of the greys by responding to their racism. I just think that some lawyer, engineer or quant guy/woman are behind those names. The belief that its only poor rednecks spouting filth like that needs to die.

Frankly, I don’t know why April Ryan would ask that, knowing how unrepentant and a sociopathic he has been. This is just playing into his hands and his base to control the narrative. He had years to say something, but he didn’t because he can’t and won’t. He a racist and believes that Blacks ( except Kayne) are…

Probably one of the most evil men in Politics today. I can just imagine him sitting around with his wife saying the most disgusting things about Black people and her agreeing with him. He’s almost 80 but this Methuselah will probably be pushing 90 when every right that Black people have gained has been eradicated.…

It needs to be reminded that Eugenics flourished in America and was the template that the Nazis used to murder over 17 million people. It just wasnt Jews.

Agree. It just blows my mind. Jews can be angry for centuries. “never forget”, but Black people we are rendered invisible. And what they continually ask of us is appalling. Its insane that we can never truly be angry.

The worse part is that psychopath is remorseless. He doesn’t care that he killed Black families. He only cares that he caused pain. And to forgive him and all those people like him is not what Christian charity is all about. It didn’t change anything. The horrendous lynchings that we are tasked to forget about and…

I think forgiveness is always an action that black people must do. The Dylan Roof victims forgave him. For what? They all still hate us. We forgive all the time but racism is here forever

They are rounding them up like animals. And many of them are children. They already have the concentration camps.

Exhibit F that racism will not die out with the olds. I went to school with Whites (and out and proud skinheads) and Asians who had a ranking system before the incels stepped in and made it acceptable. No surprise that Black women were always at the bottom.

The sympathy for him far outweighs the condemnation and contempt that Black people get when they do something wrong in their youth. Scratch that, we are not even seen as children/teens as Whites and others see as full fledged adults right out of the womb who should deal with the consequences when we do something…

I don’t know what they were thinking. It just looked boring. They could have put Thompson and Hemsworth in another vehicle, since they have decent chemistry, not a tired reboot.

I’ve met a couple of Chads. And a Brice. I concur.
