Perhaps This Is Why Liberals Are So Miserable...

They've got to be kidding

IKR

XDDDDD

Thank you, NotSoFatElvis!

Thanks vBackman! Elvis may have ended up fat, but Fat_Elvis is not! 😉😏🤨

I have always called you NotSoFatElvis cuz I figured you were notsofat and if you weren't, I would still feel the same way about you as I love your 'mind'. I think conservatives have a bond that liberals don't understand as they are too busy being moonbats (thanks, Danzinger!).

No thats why liberals try to call us a cult lol

My father use to tell me that there are so many terrorists in the Mideast because their lives suck. Too many people there without a mortgage to worry about, jobs to worry about, bills to pay, etc... they got nothing to do but cause trouble.

Apparently it applies to the other spectrum where too many Americans are too comfortable in this nation with the government paying them welfare, stimulus check, student loans, that they have too much free time on their hands to with nothing to do but cause trouble.

Notice there weren't any BLM, Women's March, environmental activism, gender protests, etc...etc... during WW1 and WW2. Perhaps we need another world war.

That's BS. My whole family is from the South. Yes, there were lynchings and that is pure evil but they were not as common as it is portrayed in the media.

My dad ran a plumbing business and preferred to hire blacks. He paid them the same as his white employees. He said that blacks worked harder than whites. This was in the late 40's and 50's when he had his business.

I know a lot of bad things happened but not every white person was a part of it and not every black person suffered from those bad things.

The Race Industry needs as many victims to exploit as possible. So they make it appear that everyone in the South was running around in bed sheets, burning crosses on black people's lawns.

I think this might be the first time you and I mostly agree on something.

Most of our founding fathers were opposed to slavery and only compromised on it because 2 states would not join the revolution unless they were allowed to keep their slaves. I wish the founders would have hung them out to dry and ended the practice completely when the nation was founded. But they feared that because they were going up against the world's super power that if the didn't have the support of those 2 states they wouldn't have any chance at all fighting the English.

If we had ended the practice in 1797 when the Constitution was ratified and this nation was born then we maybe we would have had the problems that we have had.

But hindsight is 20/20. And maybe we would have lost the Revolutionary war without those 2 states. One was Georgia (where I was born) and I can't remember the other state. I think it was one of the Carolinas. We wouldn't have been as free as even the UK is now. We are freer than the UK but we also showed the UK what more freedom can do to make a country great. They eventually put their monarchy into just a figure head status and throw off a lot of the shackles of the monarchy. They wouldn't have been able to do that if we hadn't broken away from England and showed the world what protecting the inalienable rights of the people was all about.

I think it was South Carolina. And I think we would have had discrimination afterwards as the status and skin color were already synonymous from the long standing institution. So we might have had the issues come to a head 80 years earlier. But it would not necessarily have been resolved earlier due to the culture. A lot happened in the world after WWII which made freedom possible and encouraged people to demand it. The world was unlikely to accept those attitudes in the time of monarchs.

I think you are right about South Carolina. You are probably right about everything in your comment. But who knows.

If the nation took a hard stand against slavery at the founding maybe the problem would have resolved itself back then. It might have been looked at as un-American to treat freed slaves badly. I think the war caused a lot of problems because it caused people to take sides. If it had just been ended at the founding it would have been done peacefully and would not have caused that division.

But that is all just supposition. We'll never know what would have happened if it had been stopped at the founding. Even if the issue came to a head 80 years earlier then we wouldn't be having the problems we are having now. Those problems would have happened previous generations.

However, I think most of the problems we are seeing now are fabricated. I am not saying that the feelings aren't real. I am saying that blacks and other minorities have been conditioned to think that there is still wide spread racism against them. Some of that is so people can profit. The media does it because it generates news. The left does it so they can use blacks and other minorities for votes.

I think racism still exists but I do not think it is nearly as common as it is made out to be. I also do not agree with some of the new definitions of racism. I do not believe in microaggressions. I think that is just a way to accuse someone of racism because of the way a person thought someone else was thinking about them.

Racism is just a human condition. All races can have racist people. And they can be racist toward any other race. It comes from tribalism. Tribalism in prehistoric times was a survival mechanism because people of other tribes would sometimes attack and try to take your stuff or your life. Over the centuries it just changed into all sorts of ways of discriminating against one group. Race just became a convenient tool to distinguish one group from another.

It is a human failing that the best solution to is Christianity. Christ taught that we are all God's children. He did not say just the Jews, He meant every human being of every race. Jesus also taught us that the two greatest commandments of all of the commandments God ever gave was to love God and love our neighbor as ourselves. There were no conditions on who or what race our neighbors are.

I think the slave problem should have been handled sooner than later. It did not go away, and in fact became more contentious, leading to attrocities by supporters of both positions in the Birder War of Missouri & Kansas. A civil war could have been avoided, at a minimum.

I used to live in the Kansas City, Mo metro. In the 10 years I lived there I never heard of this war. Is that the Jayhawkers? They were robbers from Kansas who robbed Missourians. Kansas was a free state and Missouri was a slave state and that drove the "war" between those two states.

It also caused Missouri to pass an extermination order against the Mormons in 1838. The Latter-day Saints had set up their headquarters in Independence, Mo. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints were opposed to slavery and they were forming a significant voting block in the Kansas City area. The governor decided he wanted them out by any means necessary, including death. They left and went to Illinois and got similar treatment there and finally had enough and left the country. Utah was part of Mexico at the time.

Damn spell check. The “Border War”
was between the confederate domestic terrorists in Mo and the Kohn Brown abolishonist terrorists in Kansas. Both sides were ruthless. Federal Order 15 issued by the federal military ordered federal troops to burn most rural homes on the Missouri side to flush out confederate guerrillas. Lawrence KS was burnt by confederate terrorist Quantrill and his gang. The Mizzou Tigers and Kansas University Jayhawk university rivalry had its early basis on this unofficial but violent period of time. However that cooled when Mizzou left the Big 20 or 12 conference to join the SEC.

No worries about the spelling, especially the spell checker. I am my computer now but when I am on cellphone I had to disable the spell checker because sometimes it changed real words into just a bunch of letters that made no sense. Most of the time it would change the word I wanted to another word. I hate it.

But I fat finger words or just flat out misspell words all of the time so I could never criticize someone for misspelling words. There are two words that I particularly have problems with and that is "think" and "thing". I am constantly getting the ending k and g mixed up. Many times I'll make a statement about what I do not like and I'll somehow miss putting "not" in the sentence and it makes it sound like I do like something.

So that was about the Jayhawks. Because that is who, like you said, KU named their football after.

I'm not much into football or any other televised sports until recently. About 2 years ago my wife got hooked on football and specifically two teams. Alabama and the KC Chiefs. We lived in the KC area for about 10 years and we never watched a single game back then. Never went to Arrowhead stadium to watch the Chiefs or anything. We live in Utah now and all of the sudden my wife turned into a football fan. She is going crazy waiting for the Superbowl to start today. She's got her Chiefs t-shirt on and is making hot wings and everything.

Anyway... When did Mizzou become part of the SEC? We lived in Missouri between 2000 and 2010. I think Mizzou was still rivals with the Jayhawks back then. So I am guessing it happened after 2010.

John Brown not Kohn. Spell screw again

yo abby im independent but i lean conservative but you just said lynchings were not common. there were thousands of lynchings and 1 is to much

1 is too much. I agree. Maybe there were thousands of lynchings. I probably have heard the number of lynchings that took place but I don't remember.

The vast majority of those lynchings happened a century ago. The KKK was a massive organization at that time. They were all over the United States. President Woodrow Wilson used the KKK essentially as his secret service. Most Democrats did back then. Outside of slavery I think the early 20th century was the worst time to be alive for blacks in America.

But those days are far behind us. Dwelling on them does no one any good. Neither does ignoring them. But we are dwelling on them. We should just be aware of them so that we never repeat those days.

I did hear about two blacks in California that were found hung last year. At first they were looked at as lynchings but I think later they were ruled suicides. Aside from that lynchings are unheard of these days and the KKK only has about 20 members now... well..... there's probably a lot more than 20 but they are not even close to the size they were in the early 20th century. I see them as a dying relic of a past long forgotten.

However, the media tries to make you think that we are living in the 1910's, 20's and 30's all over again.

Democrats are all stuck up on what happened back then ( im black) when i try to tell democrats black people are suppose to be republican because Abraham Lincoln freed them they tell me not to dwell on the past lol and that's gone but it's exactly what there doing lol

I agree. The South was 100% Democrat for whites but 100% Republican for blacks specifically because the Democrat party was the party slavery and Jim Crow and all sorts of evil. MLK was a Republican until JFK made a deal with him so that he would get the black vote. I am not saying that was necessarily bad because JFK was the last American Democrat. Every Democrat president who followed after him pledged their allegiance to Karl Marx.

I think they still are even though Democrats would vehemently deny it. I think they are manipulating blacks just for votes. Dems don't represent anyone but their own power. But then I don't think the Republicans, today, are much better. I think our government has become more corrupt than ever before in the last 20 to 30 years, maybe more.

wait so martin luther king was democrat?

Not at first. He became a Democrat because of Kennedy. It was some sort of a deal they made and not because King had an ideological change. His dad remained a Republican. I used to know why MLK and JFK struck up that deal but I just can't remember any more. I hate getting old.

oh

President Woodrow Wilson's screening of "Birth of A Nation" at the White House gave the movie a big a boost which in turn helped revive the KKK.

That was the closest he had to anything remotely resembling a connection with them.

You're flat out lying like you always do.

Sorry but it is the absolute truth. Wilson wrote the novel that the "Birth of a Nation" was based on. Look it up. The KKK was the defacto police force of the Democrat Party back then.

It shouldn't be a shock to you. The Dems were the ones who fought FOR slavery. The Dems are the ones who got the Jim Crow laws passed. The KKK was 100% Democrat back then.

The Civil Rights act of 1964 (and all the ones prior) would not have passed it is wasn't for the Republicans. The Dems were mostly unanimous in trying to vote it down.

If you do not know the racist history of your party then I guess you are in for a very rude awakening. LOOK IT UP!!!! Do not believe me, find out for your own. You'll see that I am not lying.

"Birth of A Nation" was written, produced, and directed by D.W. Griffith, based on "The Clansman" by Thomas Dixon Jr.

The Dems did not fight for slavery. Parties don't fight wars. Nations do. Armies do.

Pretty sure my folks weren't Klan (their applications would have resulted in their service in a lynching, as in dangling from the end of a noose).

Like the Confederacy and KKK, Jim Crow was a Southern States thang. Would you like a GPS to figure that out?

The Civil Rights and Voting Acts wouldn't have passed if it wasn't for Democrats, with a BIG push from LBJ. Again, like the above, the division was regional, with Southerners of both parties voting against.

What does "your party" even mean? You don't know crap about the first feature length movie ever made, basic history, even what fights wars, and now your telling me I have a party? Um, what is the name of this party I own, and how long have I had it? Sounds really swell, I own a party.

Hmm... So I got a hold of some bad information about who wrote the novel.

Do you know anything about the Southern states? I was born in Georgia, so you can hang on to your GPS. The South was solid Democrat back then and was so all the way up until they realized that the Democrat party had become the Socialist party.

It was so solid Democrat that nearly every politician ran unopposed. Only because there were Democrats in the Northern states can you say that the party didn't fight the war. However, every Southerner who fought in the Civil War was a Democrat, without exception.

No the KKK and Jim Crow was not a Southern thang. One of the largest Klan rallies was held in Boston. The American Nazi Party had a rally in Madison Square Garden.

Woodrow Wilson was born in Virginia but got into politics in New Jersey.

You had better check your facts on the Civil Rights Act of 64. You are flat out wrong. LBJ may have supported it (I'm not sure) but LBJ was about as bad of a racist as Woodrow Wilson (the most racist president we've ever had and that was just one of many facets why he was in the top 5 worst presidents we ever had).

What does knowing what the first feature length movie ever made have to do with anything? I don't follow revisionist history if that is what you mean.

"Your party" was an assumption and I apologize for that. I have no idea what party you are affiliated with. If I had to guess I would say Democrat. But by the same token do not assume and I am a solid MAGA guy, I'm not. I didn't vote for him in 2016. I am not a Republican. I used to be but I joined the Constitution Party several years ago when it became apparent that the Republican party is trying to play catch up with the Democrat party. I also did not imply that you own a party. If you are a Democrat then the Democrat party is your party. Just like if you were a Catholic then that would be your religion. If you were from Ohio that would be your state. It does not imply ownership.

Guy, YOU were corrected on YOUR lies by ME.
YOU do NOT know SQUAT about history.

Good grief, I'd say you were a troll except you're aptitude for ignorance of the silliest yet astoundingly earnest sort is too devoid of (intended) irony and humor.

"So I got a hold of some bad information about who wrote the novel."

No you didn't. You just lies like you do about everything.

I skipped through the rest of your bs but caught the end as I was typing this.
Proptip, newb: Profiles. Check them.
I ain't got time for your LeftRightLeftRight goosestep dance. Yous are both halves the same thing, the same process, the same lies. The only difference is one side has a part in its hair.

Course you didn't vote for your God Trump in 2016. Heck, to date, I've not encountered anyone who has. Not. a. single. one.

In fact, you were an Obama voter, at least in '08, right? Then you voted for a candidate that has no name in 2016, but then you felt sooooooo bad for the way Orange Man Sad was treated by the rest of everybody who like you didn't vote for him because they're prejudiced against senile retarded Commies boot lickers, and so you became a dedicated soldier ready to take up arms in this coming civil war some college kids are going to wage against poow widdle Twumpie poo who isn't in office anymore, right?
[Funny you didn't have that reaction when the Alt Righters burned Obama hanging from a noose in effigy with *blank* GO HOME spray painted on it, huh?]

Yeah guy, like I said, here since 2015, been hearing that Russian scripted partisan hackery a gazillion times, and none voted for Trump. Not. a. single. one.

none.

What are you talking about? What is "Proptip, newb: Profiles. Check them."? Is there someone here who goes by "Proptip" that you are comparing me to? I don't know who he or she is.

I need to remember to keep things short with you because all you do is skip over stuff and grab bits and pieces and then accuse me of things I never said.

So to keep it real simple for you. GO AND LOOK EVERYTHING I SAID UP!!!!! GO TO THE ORIGINAL SOURCES. DO NOT, AND I REPEAT, DO NOT READ WHAT OTHER PEOPLE SAY ABOUT HISTORY. GO TO THE ORIGINAL SOURCES YOURSELF.

Maybe you won't skip over it if I yell it.

w e l p

who asked lol their isn't nothing but Dumb liberals in politicsTOO

Who are you replying to on here? Why are you saying "yo abby"? I didn't post anything on this thread until this comment!

And it's "too" btw.

A lot can happen in 80-100yrs.

As long as there is money to be generated by fleecing the taxpayer and/or donations the race industry will always be around. They just keep changing the definition of racism so that their business does not have to close their doors permanently.

So true.
