  1. You are really scraping the bottom of the Crab 🦀 Barrel. This is projection to the extreme. Most Black Trump supporters are like most Christians and Conservatives identifying as Americans. We would fall in the ideological camp of integration and full participation in the American Dreams as citizens of the country. We recognize the hardships Blacks have faced, but choose to focus on what we have done and can do. We are not idol worshippers or people who focus on pragmatism not opportunism. Why would we support Trump? 1. Trump has had a long business history filled with spectacular successes and failures. As anyone who has achieved anything realizes failure is a necessary component of success. 2. He make a distinction of Americans not based on race. His distinction was Citizens and unlawful entrants. 3. Crime has plagued many communities. We don’t like treated as criminals or looked upon as such. Hence Law and Order is a fundamental value. 4. Education and Upward Economic Mobility is another core value. We see that school choice may offer a solution to better education and financial situation. We generally bear no ill will anyone, but we will unreservedly destroy those who attack us. Restraint is also a core value is why we don’t launch into more fruitless values. As long as you continue to try to define others, you miss opportunities to advance everyone. I hope this response was long enough to meet your expectations @Stefan
  2. Yes, Stefan just doesn't seem to understand that under fake president (or whatever he is) Joe Biden, the cost of living and inflation are exponentially higher than they were under Trump, the National Debt just hit $30 trillion for the first time in history today, Biden and the Leftists who are actually running his regime are undermining everything that defines American greatness, Biden via his former boss Barack Obama has been systematically bifurcating black America without blinking an eye...etc., etc., etc. Stefan appears to be a hopeless brainwashed victim of very intense gaslighting on steroids that is coming from the Democrats, the Left, the Mainstream Media, globalists, Big Tech, Wall Street, and a lot of other oligarchs and other major players.
  3. Many Black Trump supporters, particularly the ones who aren’t famous or super rich, are usually seething inside. They're lacking something socially or emotionally and their false belief they are superior to other Blacks does not fill this void. This is why so many lack empathy for Blacks who are abused, experience misfortunes or are poor. They tend to devalue the misery of those in need. What remains unfathomable to me is how so many blithely ignore Donald Trump’s racism. I blame cognitive dissonance for this. And it occurs in Black Trump supporters because they want to desperately believe he is a successful business man, incredibly moral and smart and supporting him will elevate them all to prosperity. But the reality begs to differ. Trump has been impeached twice. He lies constantly, and openly admitted he wanted Mike Pence to overturn the 2020 election results. Trump has paid off porn stars who had sex with him. And he cares little about empowering anyone unless they’re White. He also takes a special delight in attacking Women of Color. And since all this reality threatens the beliefs of Black Trump supporters, they have to mentally conjure up excuses to overcome this. This is why some will whine and lie about most Blacks being on government assistance, undereducated, prone to violence, criminally minded or birthing children they cannot properly care for. And all because they insist on supporting Trump, whose shattered ego won’t allow him to accept he lost the 2020 election. Or admit the man he succeeded was so superior in Word, Speech and Deed, that it probably disturbs his sleep. Trump still cannot stand the fact that an impressive Black man won the White House twice. Without resorting to lying or cheating. Obama’s greatness in giving speeches cheered billions. He astounded the entire world with his soaring oratory. Few men could match Obama when he spoke. In Japan, compact disc recordings of Obama giving speeches were snapped up and used to learn the proper pronunciation of English words, according to an October 2019 story in the New York Times. (Link provided) Most Japanese people, including those studying English, would have difficulty comprehending a speech given by a native English speaker, wrote Miki Tanikawa, who authored the NY Times story. But “Mr. Obama’s English is easy to understand because he pronounces words clearly and speaks at a relatively slow clip,” said Professor Tadaharu Nikaido, a communication specialist in Tokyo. “Movies tend to be the most difficult for Japanese, especially when actors mumble their words.” (This is from that Times story). “Mr. Obama sets his range of vocabulary wide enough to accommodate the highly educated and the less educated, Professor Nikaido added, and at the lower end, it sometimes comes within the range of non-native speakers’ comprehension.” Think anybody wants to buy CD’s of the mumbling meanderings of Trump? It is amusing that Black Trump supporters cannot stand when anyone finds fault with their hero. Which is why when their view that Trump is a god is challenged - they react in bitterness and rage. How dare anyone point out the truth about this lying, cheating man? How dare anyone criticize him? Well, it’s because in the U.S., one can do so. It’s perfectly legal because of something called the First Amendment. And no amount of childish epithets or petty anger will ever change that. Obama's Speeches Taught Japanese English
  4. daniellegfny, your entire post was spot-on. Black conservatives, Trump supporters and the like, simply want to honestly support their country and all of its greatness and freedoms. This is why the rest of the world wants to come to the USA. Just being brief on this one. Troy, you can't have it both ways. Mzuri, your full post was great. Survey Said? Stefan just doesn't get it.
  5. Many of us just finished the Live Chat of ADNI's report on Black Basketball Players being called The N-Word. In the chat I made a call to action as I saw so many ideas, frustrations, and anger so many of us feel at the constant disrespect and treatment we get. Far from victims, we sounded resolute, ready to filter and organize our ideas into action steps. Some of you agreed to meet me here to do exactly that. Please, let us know that you are here and ready to voice your opinions. The first step, I believe is to show that you are here. Please respond with just an introduction and let's go from there. Fingers are easily broken but a clenched fist is not. I am here and ready to unite.
  6. They have the power, they just are unwilling to use it. That would require self-sacrifice which few of us have the stomach for nowadays. The tabloid is well known for no being too concerned with facts, like Fox News. Don't take it personally it is just the demonstrable truth -- not even worth debating. Whoopie's (her name is apropos I see) suspension is of zero interest to me. They can cancel the entire show for all I care. A two week suspension seems more like a publicity stunt to draw attention to the show.
  7. @Stefan, I'm guilty of taking a thread slightly off track but it's not because I cannot read.😁 I also remember everything my fellow posters write too. It's just not my style to get into a debate over it. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions and beliefs. I'm here to encourage black folks to do better, speak out against white supremacy, call balls and strikes as I see them and provide humor too.😎
  8. The moral character of invididuals prior to running for public office is always investigated and factored into the equation. Some folks are held to a higher standard than others. Former POTUS Barack Obama had to be a saint and walk on water before he was allowed to sit his black azz in the White House. They tried to dig up dirt on him and couldn't find enough to fit on the shovel. OTOH, former POTUS Donald J. Trump did his thing with the ladies, grabbed their private parts and bragged about it on video, mocked a person with disabilities and he was still elected. As you all know, I don't get into debates when it comes to politics and religion. I'm just pointing out the fact that moral character is a consideration. Black folks have to be flawless. White folks can be raggedy. 😎
  9. Professional black ahletes need to unite and come up with an agenda to which they can hold others accountable. They need to use that collective power to fight racism even it means not playing the games. Team owners do not want to lose money. They will do whatever it takes to keep the labor force on the field. 😎
  10. It’s exposes the gaps in knowledge and understanding that many in the ADOS movement have. I offer this tweet and video as a piece of evidence to support my claim There’s also a book called Hitler’s Black Victims. I believe she was feeding into the overall antiIsreali sentiment of Israel being an Apartheid state. If Jews were considered a non-white stance the concept of racism couldn’t be applied to them because they are White and considered part of the White Supremacy power structure.
  11. It does sadden me that no one came to this thread to talk about how we can focus our ideas, but maybe there is a bigger space for that.
  12. ************************************************************************************ W h y d o n ' t y o u r e a d t h i s S L O W L Y P S Y C H O S I S I S A M E N T A L C O N D I T I O N D I A G N O S E D B Y M E N T A L H E A L T H P R O F E S S I O N A L S N o t s o m e D U M M Y on a d i s c u s s i o n f o r u m I don't understand why he's so bothered about President Trump anyway, since life was much better with Trump than now. If I was that dummy Stefan, I'd stop focusing my attention on President Trump and stock up on groceries before the next supply chain shortage hits his neighborhood bodega. ************************************************************************************
  13. @Delano, I gotcha now. Focus is extra sensory perception. Reading is fundamental. My bad.😁😎
  14. Stefan, your entire post beginning with the referenced opening line, sounds more like a bad (to terminal) case of Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS). From what we can tell, it's not convincing anyone.

  16. Those prosecutors that were called out are inherently corrupt and all of them deserve what's coming to them, and then some.
  17. @MzuriThat petty character assassination of Whoopi is typical of you. And the reason why you don't like The View is because you are mesmerized by all of those lying pseudo journalists on the Fox channel who, along with that tabloid rag, "The Daily Mirror", reinforce your affinity for fake news. You try to distance yourself from that ass hole Trump but it's becoming increasing clear that you are very much at home with all of those looney tunes who follow him. And spare me your tired litany about Biden being a white racist, inasmuch as he is bending over backwards to placate his black constituency. So who cares? Whoopi is correct in her assertion because Jews are not a race. They are a sect that embraces the religion of Judaism. Accepting the idea that they are a race is being aligned with the Nazi point of view. Many are coming forth to point this out. ABC feels an obligation to slap Whoopi on the wrist in order to cater to the powerful Jewish community. I am not a big fan of Whoopi but she's no worse than that Retrumpican moron Marjorie Taylor Greene who you undoubtedly identify with because her reason for not wearing panties is that her coochie needs airing out.
