It’s indoctrination to selectively teach about all that happened on our way here.

You’ve got ignorant racists who think that black people are just shiftless and largely incapable of advancing in society and who have no clue of centuries of work in subjugating them. From slavery to share cropping to Plessy v Ferguson to the Klan to lynching to massacres like Tulsa to Jim Crow, the government at varying levels was working to tip the scales towards the people in power.

Black veterans were denied GI Bill benefits.

Black home buyers were red listed and also forced into inferior facilities with far fewer opportunities for education.

Black citizens didn’t have the protection of but did feel the threat of law enforcement.

The effects of what was once legal racial subjugation are still felt today.

Black people on average receive criminal sentences 20% longer than others:

Black people, on average, have a more difficult time acquiring funding for their businesses:

And MAGA led governments don’t want kids to learn about history because they’re worried it will make them feel bad

LBJ and the Civil Rights Act of 1964 destroyed black families by, what? Making sure that public businesses couldn’t refuse them service?

I’ve been down this road with you before, where you’re going to say that none of the facts that I’ve cited matter and that what the evil Democrats’ plan has been since 1933 to get black people hooked on government services and handouts and thus the Democratic Party. Except that’s not really the case, is it?

In September 1932, Robert Vann, the editor of the Pittsburgh Courier, a leading Black newspaper for the first half of the 20th Century, made an endorsement of FDR, saying, “turn Lincoln’s picture to the wall. The debt has been paid.” This was after three years of non-intervention from the Hoover administration and Hoover went so far as to refuse to be photographed with black people until a month after Vann’s endorsement of FDR.

But even after the implementation of the New Deal, many of the programs didn’t benefit black people. Farmers were paid to not produce, so farm owners in the south got government subsidies that they didn’t distribute to their black sharecroppers. Black businesses couldn’t afford to participate in the National Recovery Administration and black applicants were bypassed for white ones in the New Deal’s job programs. It wasn’t until after a lot of direct petitioning from letters, as well as prodding from Eleanor Roosevelt, that FDR and some of the Democratic Party started to listen to the actual pleas of the black community began to actually bring on black voices and perspectives into the government, including Vann, Eugene K. Jones, Robert Weaver and Mary McLeod Bethune. And despite much resistance in their departments and little direct contact with FDR, except for McLeod Bethune, they ended up making substantive differences for black people across the nation. The WPA got education and job opportunities out to more black people, agricultural relief came from resettlement programs and for the first time, anti-discrimination clauses went into federal contracts. That is why these black leaders then made the case to their communities that FDR must be re-elected if they’re going to continue their progress.

Now go ahead and tell me why all that is BS and FDR and the Democrats were really bad for the black community.

It's baffling that you keep making this absurd argument that only the enlightened Democrats are aware that systemic racism existed in the past...

LBJ destroyed the black family by adding a financial incentive to single motherhood.

As he famously said, "I'll have those n*ggers voting Democratic for 200 years."

It's 100% true that the African-Americans began shifting to the Democrat party in the 1930s to get in on the free goodies offered in racist FDR's New Deal.

Democrat entitlements have destroyed everything they pretend they're supposed to improved.

Big, beautiful tax bill ?!?
"Analysis by independent bodies such as the non-partisan Committee for a Responsible Budget and the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School finds that the bill will add $3.3tn to US debt over the next 10 years.
This means the debt-to-GDP level of the world’s largest economy would jump from 98 per cent to 125 per cent by the end of the period — a level well in excess of the previous high, reached in the aftermath of the second world war."

No matter the theoretical cost that people believe Trump had cost them, it is worth every single nickel to preserve freedom for The People. Freedom is not madmen forcing needles into kids, or else. Freedom is those kids families being able to make those decisions themselves and those who disagree can go fk themselves.

Democrats were unmasked during this period in History.

Republicans literally killed themselves off with this vaccine nonsense.
if you want to talk about being unmasked, that is the easiest one.
Covid showed that Repubs can’t be trusted. They couldn’t even take care of themselves with a very low iq bar.

Democrats peddled lies, led by Fauci, to take control of other peoples lives and children. The debate has ended and Democrats are on the wrong side of freedom.

To this day one would be hard pressed to name a single runner who died exclusively from Covid. Name one healthy child.

Whether anyone like yourself believes a Republican died for not injecting themselves with an experimental “vaccine” is not the argument, and is not your decision to make. Ever, in this country…and you will forever pay the price of putting your mission over the very reason we were formed to begin with.

Enlightened? Did you miss the part where I wrote that the Democrats realized that it could be to their political benefit to court Black voters by addressing their wants? Despite entrenched racism, they managed to address their some of their wants. And what did Hoover do, beyond claim that prosperity is just around the corner?

You can cut the LBJ and New Deal crap. Did poor white women not also realize that they could also net welfare benefits from having kids outside of marriage? Did poor white people not also gobble up all the goodies from the New Deal? The FDR administration actually gave positions within its administration to black leaders who were able to effect meaningful changes for black Americans. You discount that why? Because it doesn’t fit with your pre-assumed narrative?

Unwed mothers are more likely to come from lower income and lower education strata. Lower income and less educated white women are also more likely to be unwed mothers than those from higher economic backgrounds and those with more education. You disregard the fact that, for a very long time, black and hispanic people have made up a disproportionate amount of the poor in the US.

LBJ’s “famous quote” came from where? What speech was that? I can tell you that it’s from Ronald MacMillian, an Air Force One steward during the Johnson administration, who claimed that Johnson said it to two governors while on board the presidential plane. He might have said it, and MacMillian put his spin on the quote, adding “It was strictly a political ploy for the Democratic party. He was phony from the word go….This was the attitude of these people who were championing civil rights.” He claims it was all a political calculation from Johnson, even though Johnson began calling on Republicans to support Civil Rights legislation from very early in his tenure, and, as reported by Bill Moyers, following the passage of the Civil Rights Act, “I think we just delivered the South to the Republican party for a long time to come.” I can’t rule out Johnson saying such a quote but there are also ample reasons to take it with a big grain of salt.

If you can recognize that unwed motherhood is far more likely in the poor, why don’t you also recognize that the gap between the poor and the well off has expanded considerably in the last 50 years and that wages have not kept pace with the cost of living and inflation. Pew reports that middle income went from forming 62% of all US aggregate income in 1970 to just 43% in 2018. That middle class is earning a third less of all wage income than they were 50 years ago.

What are the GOP plans to address income inequality? Trump extemporaneously claimed that he’d get childcare paid for. How’s that going? Any other substantive changes to bring the lower rungs of the American people up to a higher standard of living? Concept of a plan? Anything beyond sending Vietnamese refugees to South Sudan?

The people sent to South Sudan were all criminals.
