History That Is Never Taught...

I'm surprised this was mod approved. There is a lot of truth here. I thought they re-wrote this section of history with the "party flip" theory.

Unfortunately RINOs and cowards have infiltrated the GOP. The general republican populace love Trump. RINOs like Liz Cheney hate him with a passion.

She might as well be a democrat. Like all Rinos they are the reason the left surged. Weakness and and parsimony. They stood by while the rich raped the country and now they want to take it over using leftist scum to do the dirty work.

I like the word pusilanimous.

Don't forget mitt romney. He was in the DNC back in the 00's or something like that

And yet he ran against the DNC’s candidate in 2012. Was that to make sure Obama got re-elected?

And McCan't(McCain) in 2008. Remember what he did to spite Trump concerning Obamacare.

Here’s some history for you. Curious why black people nowadays vote mostly Democrat? The answer lies in LBJ’s presidency. LBJ was a known racist who used racial slurs often. The reason he passed the civil rights acts was to gain the black vote. Everybody knew he hated black people though, so he also instituted welfare programs which have been disastrous to the black community. Prior to that time, the crime rates, unemployment rates, and poverty rates were all decreasing and income was increasing in the black community. That is impressive progress especially when you consider that it happened during Jim Crow era. From LBJ’s presidency and on the trends reversed. The black community then began to see increased crime and poverty rates due to Democrat policies, yet still would vote Democrat because why would you ever not vote for the person giving you a check? Now here’s the kicker: Only 4 years of Trump in office who focused on undoing those welfare programs and black income reached its highest ever and unemployment reached a record low as well. Answer me this: If Trump and the Republicans are the true racists and are trying to keep black people down, why are their policies the most beneficial and why did Trump see an increase in minority votes during his re-election campaign?

I've heard this argument before about welfare and I disagree. The socio-economic disparities experienced by black communities came about because of discrimination, not welfare. That's a fact. Democrats saw that it was impossible to get the entire country on board with equality and that, even though slavery was abolished so many decades ago, blacks were still being treated like second-class citizens and weren't being hired for jobs, weren't being allowed to move into the nicer neighborhoods, weren't being accepted into the better schools, etc.

If there's a blizzard and someone's asking to be let in, you don't get to close the door in their face then blame them for freezing to death. Democrats put programs in place to help bridge those gaps that people were facing. Yes, there are those who just take advantage. There will always be those. But they don't make up the entire scope of people being helped by welfare. There's also the elderly, the disabled, the infirm, veterans with PTSD who can't work, etc.

Trump didn't DO anything that made any huge difference. The largest drop in unemployment happened under Obama and continued under Trump so he tried to take credit. It was at its lowest point under Trump, that much is true. But the largest drop happened under Obama. No one is trying to keep blacks down. That's a white supremacist fallacy aimed at fighting equality.

The disparities came about by discrimination you say? Then how could it be that black Americans were progressing while Jim Crow laws were in place yet their progress reversed after the civil rights acts? Actual research shows that fatherless children are 3x more likely to be involved in crime, more likely to be poor, and more likely to fail school. Democrat Lyndon B Johnson, who voted against every civil rights act prior to being president, knew this. So the welfare plan he made gave checks to mothers and extra per every child she had but only if there was no father present in the household. So it incentivized single motherhood, unemployment, and baby daddies. Thus, the downward spiral afterward is explained. LBJ himself summed up the plan when he said "We'll have these n*ggers voting Democratic for 100 years."

Remember when Obama greatly increased welfare and then the number of people on welfare increased by 400%? It's true not everybody accepting welfare is a lazy bum exploiting the system, but the overwhelming majority are. I still remember back in the day when Bill Clinton showed Democrats believed in what's actually good for the economy and he cut welfare for that reason. Nowadays the Democrats have done a complete flip on position.

Pre recession the unemployment rate was at 4.4%. Obama took office January 2009 at 7.8%. It continued to rise and peaked at 10% after 9 months of Obama as president. After 2 terms of Obama the lowest it got was 4.8%. That's 8 years and still not a complete recovery. Sure, he was still on pace to hit even but very slowly. And if you look at the peak until when he left office he decreased the unemployment by 52% over the course of 8 years. Now let's compare that to Trump's recovery from 2020 unemployment caused by the covid lockdowns (which Trump opposed). At it's peak the unemployment rate was at 14.8%. Trump decreased that by 58% in 8 months. Not 8 years, 8 MONTHS. That's a better recovery percentage, from a worse starting point, in 1/12 the amount of time. Of course now Biden will take credit for that recovery.

Curious why Democrats still push for welfare? Because they have to keep people on the government teat. When they don't, black people work hard and better themselves and begin voting Republican. So the Democrats keep the cycle going, their power depends on it. It has nothing to do with morality.

Have you ever been ti the Pullman neighborhood in south Chicago? Beautiful homes built by and occupied by lovely black families. I have spoken to the widows of Pulman employees, some of the nicest kindest people I've ever met.

Now most of it is run down and inhabited by non producers and gangs.

I suppose it is the fault of the airline industry that destroyed it and not 60 years of Democrat leadership. The last word should have a t at the end.

I have this theory - Harlem before the Great Depression was a thriving area for Blacks. Then the Great Depression hit. . .and Harlem didn't recover. Considering the type of person FDR ended up being(camps for Japanese Americans after Pearl Harbor).

Sorry, I do not follow your theory.

Harlem is inner city, and inner city will always fail. Prior to the depression blacks fled the poor south for good paying jobs in the north.

At the start of thee war blacks were relegated to menial and dangerous jobs because of Democrat Jim Crow segregation. The military (all branches) were full of southerners that would not put up with integration.

There are a lot of contributing factors to why black communities fail, but one of the most prevalent IMHO is that inner cities are kind of like a Ponzi or pyramid scheme. The lower levels prop up the higher ones, but there is never enough good jobs to go around.

Now if you don't want to take a low paying job you can get GVT assistance. I know a person that quit their environmental services job at the hospital, $10.50 hr. and has been on unemployment since COVID and is making half again as much for sitting at home.

So, are you blaming the GOP Senate? Or the candidates running for Senate? We can't force black republicans to run for office you clown.

Who said they're not running? Do I really have to spell it out for you? They're obviously not getting voted in, you moron.

Or maybe we do vote them in from time to time and then we have things like "Uncle Tim" trending on twitter to try and scare off any others brave enough to venture into politics under the republican banner. The left harasses black republicans to no end and you feel like it's our fault that more of them don't run?

Like who? They are losing to crooked democrats who brainwash the masses into believing black republicans / conservatives are “race traitors”, “Uncle Toms” or whatever other racist shit you idiots spew.

So then RUN FOR OFFICE if you is a black man or woman RUN I will vote for you based on your qualifications not your skin color. THAT is racist.

You never can handle the truth. You have a mental issue it is called TDS. Trumps gone dipshit. Now WHAT YOU GOT? This f**ked up govment is YOUR DUDES FAULT now.
