wescobrk Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 According to Biden, you can't be black and vote for Trump. https://www.cnbc.com/2020/05/22/biden-you-aint-black-if-you-have-trouble-deciding-between-me-or-trump.html Former Vice President Joe Biden on Friday defended his record of helping African-Americans and advancing civil rights and voting rights, before ending an interview by telling a black radio host that if he can’t decide whether to vote for Biden or Trump, then he “ain’t black.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregmal Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Yup, just another case of an elitist lefty thinking they know whats best for the minorities. After decades of doing nothing but further forcing lower income and minority groups to become more and more reliant on the government, now they say "look at all we've done for you"... But yea, great to know Joe Biden gets to determine who is really black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Read the Footnotes Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Biden should just say it was a joke. All Trump supporters seem to support that logic even when lives are at risk rather than just a poor joke or tasteless comment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregmal Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Yea, now imagine if Trump said this? All the Joe sympathizers would be screaming about how racist this comment is. Good stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rkbabang Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 One of the architects of the drug war that has torn our cities to shreds and put millions of blacks behind bars for doing what white kids do openly without fear has decided that he's going to tell everyone how to be black. The democratic party needs to find a way to stop this guy from talking publicly until the election if they want to have a chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Castanza Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 The Democratic party still thinks they "own" minorities....simply amazing....Any minority who doesn't pledge their allegiance to the Democratic party is immediately ostracized, labeled "And Uncle Tom" or some other ridiculous term.

Gregmal Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 https://freethoughtblogs.com/pharyngula/2017/01/30/identity-politics-is-racist-code/ This guy is a clown. Pretty audacious to start dropping N bombs one sentence into some diatribe about how instantly branding someone a racist when you disagree with them is in fact a legitimate way to empower the perpetually oppressed... If you have a legitimate argument or case to make to society, you can present it and let the content speak for itself. You dont need to lazily try to discredit those that disagree with you by instantly crying about bigotry or by making thinly veiled racist assumptions yourself.

ERICOPOLY Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 On Monday, Reade had told CNN that she received a bachelor of arts degree from Antioch University in Seattle under the auspices of a "protected program," personally working with the former president of the school to ensure her identity was protected while she obtained credits for her degree. She also said that she was a visiting professor at the school, on and off for five years. But a spokesperson for the university told CNN that Reade "attended but did not graduate from Antioch University" and that she was never a faculty member, but she did provide several hours of administrative work. University officials confirmed with former university president Toni Murdoch that no special arrangements existed, university spokeswoman Karen Hamilton said. An Antioch University official also told CNN that such a "protected program" does not exist and never has. https://www.cnn.com/2020/05/22/politics/tara-reade-lawyer/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With any case there would have been voir dire including a voir dire cross examination. A voir dire cross examination typically would start with challenging her educational qualifications. Plus her apparent fabrication of relevant legislative experience is a mess too. It is sad that her fabrications were not discovered until now and that opposing legal challenges of all of her cases are probably getting fired up right now. The standard to testify as an expert witness is higher and the desire to prevent a situation like this should point to higher consequences. Though perjury cases may be rare, we might actually see one in this case. Plus any career she might have had as an expert witness is almost certainly over given the accusations.

It just the standard Democratic response, you know that Gregmal. Don't agree with me? You're a racist. It's worked for the Democrats for YEARS. Blacks are starting to wake up the to "Utopia" that the Democratic Party has created for them - the welfare state, the single mother families, etc The Democrats are absolutely TERRIFIED of the reception Trump is getting from blacks that want to think for themselves. It's awesome to watch. Watch clips of many of the Trump rallies and focus on all the blacks that attend them. These people know that Democratic Party has failed them miserably for years. The Democrats KNOW that if Trump picks up 10 or 15% of the black vote this next election - that Trump will be President again - so the all out assault begins - because with all time low black unemployment under Trump - Democrats are in big, big trouble.

Jurgis, did you learn that style of argumentation from Cathy Newman? Maybe I'm just a fan of a well reasoned argument. ERICOPOLY expresses himself well and generally links to high quality resources. In this case, I think he could have made his point better with a different link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
