US Politics Thread

I don't think I have, you don't believe someone suggesting their cultural spaces need protecting isn't racism?

No, it is not.

HCBUs are not an example of racism. I explained to you in detail their origins and their missions. I showed you that not only are black Americans not “segregating themselves” in HCBUs, those school were some of the only ones that never actually segregated their student bodies.

If you actually read the entirety of the page you posted you would see they are talking about preserving the cultural heritage of the school, which is absolutely a right people have.

Looks like exceptions are made because of historical context, it's hard to look at what I posted and say it's anything but racism.

Again, you're entitled to your opinion, but I just don't think you fully understand what you're talking about. 30 minutes ago you were asking if colleges were segregated, now you're saying HBCU's are racist, so I think you're just a little all over the place here

Cunts

And that’s what they allow on their main channels?

I honestly think you are doing this wrong, it's racism when you actively dislike another race and promote your own. All under the guise of preserving cultural heritage.

America needs to move on because all I have heard from this election so far is plain old race baiting.

I don’t think they are.

I’m on record on having money on him losing, I think he will lose relatively comfortably.

He needs to do we don't get the **** manipulating SCOTUS into giving him the Presidency

I think he has a world view that historically oppressed people that founded their own institutions because they were oppressed (and were historically not allowed access to the institutions founded by white people) are racist for wanting to preserve the cultural heritage of those institutions they founded, even when it has absolutely no negative impact on white people (in fact, it likely has a positive impact on white people).

The Democrats helped by getting shut of Biden but the Democrats winning isn't a gimmie here.

Ok, mate, I think you are very wrong on this subject but I see that I am not going to convince you of that, so I will concede this is your worldview.

Not even close, but even if you were right the term here is "historical", you can't get rid of racism without removing it.

What's weird is that this whole episode in US politics is driven by race and other minority interests other than the economy and the real issues.

 

[SebastianBlue]

When I said ‘crowd’ I wasn’t talking about them.

To whom were you referring?

This is a truism mate.

you said I wasn't here in good faith... wtf that means, that's what i don't get. I think you need to read again as you have clearly misunderstood

And you don’t get rid of racism by telling the people that experience racism that they have to become culturally identical to those carrying out the racism.

“We won’t be racist toward you if you were just us!”

Far from it.

Something I thought about earlier it's possible neither gets enough electoral colleges votes. I think the republican majority in the house then decide the President?

The sooner they fuck off the electoral colleges the better.

And you don’t get rid of racism by telling the people that experience racism that they have to become cultural identical to those carrying out the racism.

especially when the people who are being racist base it on skin colour, or clothing worn or language - things that those experiencing racism come here wearing clothes and speaking their native tongue and try as they might they can't change the first criteria.

That makes absolutely no sense. You think a third party candidate will carry a State?

Read up on that recently and ironically they were formed to give everyone a voice and remove populism which I thought was a bit odd.

This is going like Brexit though, people thinking it's a Democrat win all the way but it just doesn't look that way.

 

[BayernMan]

This is the way.

 

[The Future’s Blue!]

This is the way.

The only way to win an election is to promise to look after the majority of people, and it seems that Harris is doing that.

If the majority don’t accept that, many will find that they will be in the minority who will be cut adrift and left to fend for themselves.

The rich have spoken.
