Also, some Black elites had flat out greed in supporting segregation. They had businesses that made money off of White businesses refusing to do business with Blacks, and integration was RIP to their cash flow.

I’m taking that into account as well. I’m not saying support was low as 10%. What I am saying is that it’s silly to say that every Black person circa 1960 was woke. Looking at contemporary accounts, it’s safe to say that wasn’t the case. That isn’t saying that they were cheering on the Klan. It’s just that they…

This woman is so very wrong. People need to read the Bible for themselves and try to understand what was said. Not everything written in it makes sense, this matters because we are reading stories that were transferred through oral traditions then written down and then translated and translated again. That said…

Sigh... I’ve been saying this, it’s actually applicable to many other minority groups. Glad to know I’m not alone on this.

Tina is simply full of shit. She knows there’s nothing Christian about Trump but her “faith” has her holding on to some backwards misogynistic, classist, prejudices ideas.

My only issue with it that they normally look like trash on non-black people.

And we need to wise the fuck up about this shit. I have little patience for conservatives in our community these days, as you said, take away issues of racism, and lots of us, especially in the south, sound just like a bunch of bigoted ass, ignorant, closed-minded, white conservatives.

She voted for him because she wants tax cuts pure and simple. She can try to hide behind God and that Christian mumble jumble, but she got a little bit of money and wants to keep it.

Galatians 5:22-23 NIV

I’ve been thinking this. If they got rid of just one of their regressive platforms (mainly sexism and/or racism) they’d be in power forever.

If republicans got rid of their open and loud racism, they’d have way more black people on their side. Because a lot black people agree with them when it comes to homophobia, sexism, transphobia, anti abortion, anti immigration.... This is exactly what Tina saw as “Christianity” in Trump, that according to their…

“They zeroed in on the one thing that united Catholics and Protestants: the question of abortion.”

This is all right, but it goes deeper than this - the origins of the Moral Majority were - you guessed it - racism. It was the (forced) desegregation of Christian schools that drew this group together into a meaningful political entity.

This is why I’m not here for any black person who voted for Donald Trump but particularly not for black people her age (43). If you are a black person in your 40's you are old enough to remember the Central Park Five. And you are old enough to remember that Donald Trump took out a full page ad in the New York Times…

*pops in from hiatus to post appropriately petty image*

Like you said though, not everyone was down with the movement. I remember reading something like only 10% of Black people around at that time participated in a Civil Rights Movement protest. Even when you consider sympathizers, they were a bit of a minority and often an elite of sorts. Taken from that realm, it’s not…

“Voting for a racist, sexist demagogue who literally hates everything I am was worth it so I could tell other women what they should do with their God given autonomy. Because God hates women who have abortions, but he loves serial molesters who walk in on underaged girls in dressing rooms, grab women by the pussy, and…

“But as I got older, it became clear to me that I wasn’t a rapper” It hits us all at some point.

Also, I was asked how many kids I had fiftyleven times before I was even married. It isn’t pressure for men but for some of us, people assume that we go raw in strangers. I blame Maury.

The baby questions started at our reception. The ink was still wet on the license and all everyone could ask about was a kid.
