So, what, you deny the effects of Jim Crow laws existing into the 1960’s? And, cavemen and Mesopotamians aren’t relevant to today’s social ills any more than “bleeding” and using mercury as medicine are relevant to today’s medical profession.

I do acknowledge your assertion. It’s not poverty. It’s oppression. Your assertion that “they’re always doing it to each other” dovearils nicely with the bigoted defense of slavery that “they did it to each other” in selling their enemies to the white profiteer.

How’s that racist if I’m white? If the white man likes to share, why so many broken promises throughout our history? The institution of slavery and the south’s attempt to perpetuate it into the second half of the twentieth century does affect the lives of many today.

It ain’t what you don’t know that will get you in trouble. It’s what you know for sure that just ain’t so. - Mark Twain

Waaaa waaaa waaaa. How about 300 years of total exclusion from educational, financial, and career advancement? White people don’t like to share, unless it’s someone they deem “deserving”, and from everything I read here, most don’t see the African American as deserving. No consideration for the boot on their necks for generation after generation. THAT is institutional racism at it’s most pernicious.

Fair enough.

White people who qualify get the same benefits. Argument fails on its merits.

Typical racist false logic to make it look like white folk get the raw end of the deal. 2021 census estimate: 196,833,431 whites in US, 41,858,536 blacks in US. Whites killed by cops 2017-2022: 2,320. Blacks killed by cops same time period: 1,260. Technically m, you are correct. Look at proportions, however, and your claim becomes grossly inaccurate. Rate of whites killed by cops: 11.79 per million. Rate of blacks killed by cops: 25.81 per million. Over twice the rate. Numbers are meaningless without context and proportion.

You talking to me, or the “dreaded liberals” remark that opened it up?

You would think Christmas would be the one day that “dreaded” would be a word avoided when wishing your fellow man peace and goodwill. As for better Christians, would Jesus have dumped a bunch of refugees out in the cold without blankets or coats on Christmas Eve? I hope your prayer is answered, Hagar, most sincerely. Merry Christmas to all, regardless of political persuasion.

Newsmax is not known for truth telling. Like I say, Dershowitz is a shill. The token Democrat, if you will. Legitimizes the lies on the right.

There’s no delegitimizing someone who is not legitimate to begin with. The man is a grossly incompetent leader. He doesn’t possess the ability to lead when he believes “I alone can fix it.”

Then why they all left and went north after WW ll began

Criminal indictments or Congressional indictments? There’s a big difference.

What’s he doing n Newsmax, then?

I am white. Your quote here places the black man pretty close to cattle. Husbandry? Really? You got your hood on?

You don’t understand apple as and oranges? the white man owes for corrupting their system wit his values.

You don’t know a shill when you see one? Obfuscation reigns in the conservative bubble. Your guys make three card monty look like a game of checkers.

You don’t know a shill when you see one?

It is under grand jury investigation, and the current DOJ has two years minimum to complete its investigation, indict and prosecute. Even Trump got the reds at McCarthy for not replacing Jordan and the other traitor I can’t remember his name. He could have had 4 republicans on there and chose not to. Picked up his ball and went home when he didn’t get his way. I venture to guess, and would be willing to wager there will be indictments, and ordinary citizens like you and me will sit on a jury, hear the evidence, and convict the ex president of at least one charge.

Doesn’t mean he won’t be convicted.

I ain’t writing it again. See my reply to BS on page 4. That answers you, and it doesn’t oain me a bit.

Where did I say that? Slavery was a part of their culture for as long as or longer than the Romans. I believe the Portuguese first connected them to white society. That changed the economic effect of slavery and when the white man’s greed infected them, it ceased to be a tribal thing and became a money thing and the unscrupulous among both cultures took over. You’re comparing apples with oranges. You ain’t got a clue what I believe, BS.

Well, their ancestors weren’t subject to the hatred and brutality of the white man, so I understand their perspective and how it helps rationalize your denial of systemic racism.

Yes.
