Especially about how US labor unions were in bed with the Mafia for most of the 20th century and before that many unions were 'White Only'.

The Communist Party supported and organized interracial unions, unions helped support blacks economically amid white hostility and discrimination at work and in employment, also the Industrial Workers of the World, a class struggle solidarity union linked with anarchism and syndicalism was one of the first interracial unions in the U.S.

I do think that racism in the early labor movement should not be overlooked, but socialists and communists were better about being anti-racist.

Yes so we can see how Liberals started the KKK and purchased slaves from slave traders back in the 1700s.

And how capitalists are willing to pay to have labor leaders murdered, or have Pinkertons kill them to break up strikes.

If it were a modern US history class, maybe students could discuss why more than five Republican officeholders went to a white supremacist rally a couple months ago!

After that, you can discuss with them why the current President eulogized Robert Byrd, a klan member, and called him "a friend, a mentor, and a guide” and then further stated that “Byrd elevated the Senate." Then you can discuss how the President’s mentor stood for 14 hours to filibuster against the Civil Rights Act.

Robert Byrd renounced his former views and former Klan membership repeatedly after the 1980s and claimed he was never tired of doing so. More recently, you have David Duke, a former grand wizard of the KKK who is a Republican, and ran for numerous offices as a Republican, including for US Senate in Louisiana just as recently as 2016, being popular enough to qualify for a televised debate and garnered almost 60,000 votes in the primary.

President Trump's advisor Stephen Miller, who was the architect behind the administration's key immigration policies was exposed by a former Brietbart contributor for sending emails linked to white nationalist sites like VDARE as well as books essential in white nationalist circles.

Trump condemned Duke. Biden Eulogized Byrd. Byrd was still using the N-Word, in public, (on TV) in 2001.

Trump was also endorsed by the KKK’s newspaper in 2016. Byrd said “white n——“ in that interview, obviously unacceptable but you’re being misleading.

You can’t control who endorses you. You can control who you pal around with and then eulogize and call your mentor.

Yet those who endorse whom they endorse have a curious ability to control the choice they make of whom they endorse. Go figure.

White Supremacist Richard Spencer endorsed Biden. What’s your point?

Good question, what is your point?
Did you vote for Biden in 2020?

Wait, that the same Spencer who endorsed and voted for Trumpy in 2016?

Gaagh, ping pong is so much fun!

Yes. The same Spencer. Thanks for proving my point. Endorsements can’t be controlled. Who you pal around with and eulogize, can be.

Don't like both those racist shitters, don't vote for them, DONE.
Or do you need signed permish from yours truly not to?

You still endorsing Putin's invasion, btw?
[deleted]
0 ups, 3y
Never endorsed his invasion, but I understand why he’s doing it. Doesn’t matter - both countries are corrupt and full of vile people. Let them kill each other. I won’t lose a second of sleep.

After how many weeks of pressure from even Republicans and his own staff did the race baiting Trump finally and reluctantly do so?

Trump race baited? Then most certainly you can provide some evidence of this.

His run, election, term in office, you know, all that cutesy stuff for those in the viewing audience who may have plum forgot why they voted for Trumpler in the first place and what his race-baiting platform was.

And if you act now, you get a free look into that 1973 race discrimination court thingy and Central Park Five 1989 ads!

Hope this helps!

So you have none. Got it.

Sidenote: the 1973 thingy was his father’s company. He was the chairman and Donald was the president. It never even went to court. The Central Park 5 wasn’t about race - nice try though. Maybe you can try for a bonus round?

You're lying.

Who was president of da da's co? Who broke the terms of the settlement in 1975?

Yes, The Central Park 5 AD was taken very much as about race by US over here, as intended.

The Trumps countersued and the government settled. And for a racist, he’s been given countless humanitarian awards, praised by Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton. He was given the 1976 Humanitarian Award by the National Jewish Health;
1983 Tree of Life Award by the Jewish National Fawa. The Ellis Island Medal of Honor. The Muhammad Ali Entrepreneur Award. The Algemeiner Liberty Award for contributions to Israel–United States relations. The Friends of Zion Award by The Friends of Zion Museum.

Bill and Hillary Clinton were at his wedding. So was Oprah. And Shaquille O’Neal, Anna Wintour, Simon Cowell, Kelly Ripa, Katie Couric, and Russell Simmons. Just to name a few. For a racist, Trump seems to have a very eclectic group of friends from all walks of life. And all of this took place AFTER the HUD settlement and Trump’s views on the Central Park 5. AFTER.

As if you've ever been anywhere near the USA.

Regardless, your partisan fanfic doesn't change facts.

West Hempstead. Where many a Putin supporter hails from!
Good gosh.

We learned about the Shirtwaist Triangle Factory fire, and that was it. No Haymarket, Homestead or anything else.

Communist activists took a strong interest in American trade unions from the 1920s through the 1950s and played an important role in shaping the nature of the American union movement.

So you want communism taught in schools, makes sense.

Communists helped organize blacks, especially black sharecroppers who were left behind by the liberal New Deal.

I agree, it really should be.

Let's start, with Arthur Scargill, and his time at the People's Friendship University of Russia (other notable alumni; Yasser Arafat, Carlos the Jackal). Let's start with how all labour movements the world over, are just communist front groups, and how they should never be allowed anywhere near public service.

I want you to get exactly, what you thought you wanted.

Then, we can move on to the communist infiltration of the environmental movement ...
