About the black voters and Joe Biden.


Derecka Purnell writing for the Guardian, May 22:


The Democratic party holds black people in an abusive relationship but says you cannot leave because the other option is more abusive. That’s why I don’t believe that a vote against Biden solely means a vote for Trump. Perhaps it is a vote against being captured by the party that makes empty promises every four years when it is election time, and delivers nothing. . . . Perhaps it is a vote against covert and overt racism.
Biden and others will rightfully argue that Trump is worse, and I agree. But what can Biden actually deliver? Will there be fewer drones if he’s president? Maybe not. Fewer deportations? Maybe not. Less money to police departments? No. Will fewer black people die from police? Unlikely. Will black people have healthcare? Unlikely. Will black wealth increase? Unlikely. Will Palestinian lives be safer? Unlikely. Commitments to preserving our climate? Doubtful. If black people have a hard time figuring out the differences between Trump and Biden, then that is Biden’s problem, not ours.
Joe Biden refuses to reckon with the harm that he has caused to people all over the world. His best line is that he is better than the other guy, and that is exactly how abusive relationships function. Black people—all people—deserve better than Biden and the Democratic party. And yes, we are still black.

100K dead and economic collapse. Yeah, let’s talk about black voters on the Democratic plantation.

Slap yourself and sit in the corner.
That question should be directed to the Guardian and the author of the article who is black.

Diamond and Silk are black. What point are you trying to make? Tim Wise is white, do you agree with his perspectives?

What’s the rationale for not arresting the cop who murdered Mr. Floyd in broad daylight and camera?

They were arresting him for ALLEGEDLY passing a counterfeit twenty.

Eric Gardner was murdered  six years ago for selling loose cigarettes. His murderer was fired after more than five years.

You want peace in Minneapolis?

Make the arrest.

This is a discussion forum.

Based solely on your contributions to this forum, you are a person who gets into a swimming pool, pitches a turd, and empties your bladder. Then paddling about in the spreading cloud of your waste, exclaims in your proud little boy voice, “This is a swimming pool.”

Thank you for recognizing where you are. I know that was a lot for you.

I wouldn’t begin to expect you to recognize or understand rules of normal behavior in the context of the setting.

You really don’t smell like someone who could manage that much information.

...

Like you care about Black people.

You want to win the election. Period, end of story.
I guess you didn’t read the article, then.


The king of non-sequiturs.

I talked about you. I said nothing about the article.
I didn’t write the article.

Figured that out on your own?

I reiterate for your benefit.

I made comments about you. I commented about your motivation for posting the article.

You "responded" with a comment that had zero to do with my response. Same as with your pretending yesterday not to understand what "disproportionate" meant.

You cannot or will not engage in meaningful discussion. You make Kid seem direct and Bambi seem sensible. They are neither.
This is a discussion forum.

Which makes your refusal to discuss quite astounding. Well, it did a few years ago. Now it makes you boring, uninformative, and contrary.

Sometimes, instead, you lie.

A man who hung an effigy of Kentucky's governor from a tree has been fired.

I can just imagine his whines, now.

Trump really got on tv today to complain about being “fat checked” by twitter. Someone off camera must have lost it, because he immediately doubled back and found the word “fact” which he then proceeded to spell.

That is a hell of a lot of insecurity for one feeble elderly man to carry.

It makes him both dangerous and pitiful.

We can’t do much about the pitiful, but it’s past time he’s had his stinger pulled so he can’t take advantage of any more frogs.

Betsy DeVoss May be the only blond associated with the misadministration who doesn’t regularly vote by mail, preferring instead to buy her preferred candidates outright through wire transfers.
