Catfight!

Oh no, it's another Politcal Thread!

I should really check the subforum before clicking.

Fox news lol.

Admit it.  You're scared.  

Here, since you feel this video was overlooked and no one wanted to talk about it I'll entertain you. Listen, many of us blacks aren't in love with the Democratic party. And we don't necessarily hate the Republican party. Hell, I'm a left-leaning independent who'd be voting for Jeb Bush if he'd been the Republican nominee. But listen, the party's politics and policies aren't the issue. The issue is the party's constituency. Not all of them. Trust me I know. My wife is white and she's a staunch Republican. However, when members of the KKK are so readily connecting themselves to the Republican party it leads to a level of discomfort for blacks to want to stand in a room with a Republican candidate knowing many of whom are in that room could be members of the KKK.

Another thing that leads to the minorities disliking the Republican party is how they always seem to lean in on black crime and black criminals and link the criminality to race. A man shot and killed 2 Ohio police officers a week ago commenters on FOX News's website went in on BLM and black crime statistics in general. They were so sure the murders had to have been an angry black man. FOX themselves discussed why BLM allows these things to happen. All before even knowing what the killer looks like. Then it's revealed the murderer is a hard-right Trump supporter and not a thing is said about it. NOTHING!!! The story just vanished. No one mourned the officers or threw up #BlueLivesMatter hastags. Why? Because the killer isn't the well-known boogeyman.

Let me tell you how it can be sometimes when you're a black Republican. My father was once a black Republican. He'd always been so his entire life. But he started having bad experiences at Republican rallies after Barack Obama became president. His worst experience came at an Allan West rally here in Florida. He shows up to a town hall and he's getting stares. Some idiot asks him if he's a plant for Patrick Murphy. My father asks why the man would ask him that and the guy says it's because he's black. That's maddening!!!

Finally, and I'll reiterate: Republican politics aren't the problem! Both sides policies can work if the a-holes would just work together. And Democrats get me sometimes when they're so ready to excuse bad behavior by black criminals because they're "products of their environment". But I've seen Democrats back a minority they think is innocent and go against minorities they think are guilty. But Republicans seem to always go against the minority in all aspects. Hell, it doesn't even have to be minority. White victims of police brutality are also made to be instantly guilty. Yet Republicans seem to be missing from the conversation when crooked cops are outed and jailed. So yeah, back to the topic at hand. There are black Republicans. Very few, but more than people think. And it's not the people within the party who minorities dislike. It's the Republican voters themselves.

P.S. Sorry this is so all over the place. I'm on my lunch break at work and I'm writing from my iPhone.

that was extremely amusing.

I could probably write a browser script to hide or highlight (or something) threads in the Politics section on the site frontpage. Anyone have any interest in this?

Yeah, you're trying to pass off Fox News as a credible source? Now that's just embarrassing.

What's embarrassing is your closed mindedness.  Cannot watch two African American women have a debate?   I thought that was reserved only for old white Anglo-saxon conservative right winged Christian men.   I guess you are one.  

Is this on YouTube somewhere? I'd like to see it.
