  1. Well said Mzuri. That was an excellent critique and perspective. Some people just can't separate facts from fiction and truth from lies, so they continue to jump down rabbit holes that move around like a whack-a-mole challenge. From what I've seen, they don't appear to be deep thinkers, at all. One thing reasonable people don't do, is launch knee-jerk diatribes based on pure emotion instead of common sense and logic.
  2. Yes, it's quite unfortunate that these folks think that black Americans should be a monolithic voting bloc, which is an insane political position. Their ignorance is nothing more than a preface to the real surprise that awaits them if they keep letting the Democrats and the left gaslight them.
  3. I heard a report today that 20 FBI field offices have been investigating those threats and coordinating with local law enforcement agencies too.😎
  4. Can't wait for the opportunity to engage you on this one. Will make you won it.
  5. RichardMurray, The latest is the culprits are juveniles, but are tech-savvy. They apparently camouflaged their source numbers.
  6. One thing I don't do is waste time trying to control anything or anyone. Life's too short for that nonsense. It would appear that it is you who wants to control the tone of this platform and that's you're right. That's something that moderators both good and bad, do on a daily basis almost everywhere. It's also something that The Left and totalitarian thinkers have done for hundreds of years across numerous mediums and societies. Nearly everyone has political views, but I find that the issue with liberal blacks in particular is that when you're black and you leave the plantation, they blow a gasket. I see a lot of personal opinions posted on this board and I treat them as such. If I think they're great, I'll say so and if not, likewise. If you're trying to moderate a discussion board and don't have thick skin or exercise good judgement, then you're wasting you're time and everyone else's. Perhaps you might want to toughen up like Megan McGlover, instead of whining and complaining because hearing what you don't like makes you miserable.
  7. In all seriousness Mzuri (anyone), if you are getting all of your news from a single source you are being indoctrinated or lied to
  8. She would be a member of a large crowd of people. Again, I could care less if he is racist or not. When one's behavior is indistinguishable from a racist -- it make little difference. I did not mean to imply that you idolized Obama. All I was trying to say is that people Idolize Trump just as much as they Idolize Obama. Either is extreme of worship is indicative of a problem. Trump sent me a couple of checks, Obama bailed out the wealthy bankers 🤪 At the end of the day, Obama was a far more respectable president than Trump. Sure you can, most things are nearly as black and white as people make them out to be.
  9. 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.
  10. People always want to bring up Obama's flaws when i criticize Trump. But I've never idolized Obama. i do think he was a victim of Republican obstructionism and blamed for being a president who happened to be black, as opposed to a black president but I was not enamoured of him. It should be noted, however, that historians give his presidency high marks. BTW, Omarosa denounced Trump as racist when she was ousted from her white house position.
  11. Trump was impeached twice and still may face criminal charges. This thread if not about President Bill Clinton, Secretary Hillary Clinton, President Joe Biden or Vice President Kamala Harris. It is certainly not about President Barack Obama, either. It is not about ANY political figure. It is only about Black supporters of Donald Trump and the psychology behind their undying support. It continues to amaze me that so many on here can't seem to read. None of you recall Nel's attack on Black People about getting our own house in order before we go after others? You forget that, don't you? His claims most of us are criminally minded. On government assistance. What poppyock! That's HIS opinion and he cannot prove any of it. Black people are made of stern stuff. Everything I wrote about some of the more strident Black Trump supporters is true. These ones react with bitterness and rage if anyone criticizes their hero. Or they employ childish attacks which have no bearing on the debate. Stick to the facts. And for your information, the United States was NOT doing well while Trump was President. People all over the world laughed at us for electing a constant liar, a man who paid off porn stars and hinted that Covid-19 would magically disappear while withholding vital medical equipment that hospitals in Blue States sorely needed. Covid-19 infections across the U.S. only began to retreat or slow down once Joe Biden was in the White House. Previously, I've posted two links proving Trump's long history of animosity towards Black people. But you want to ignore the carefully researched and well written news stories. And instead, bring up nonsense about other people. Several studies of U.S. voters' trends, attitudes and outlooks have decidedly proven that a majority believe Donald Trump was the worst U.S. President in history. I posted a link from PBS. The ones who claim Trump was so great while in the Oval Office have reasons for doing so. And I bet most of them have to do with Trump hating, disliking and marginalizing people they can't stand. Or hoping Trump's belief in lying and cheating others to make him more money will rub off on them. Survey Said! Trump is the worst president ever
  12. ************************************************************************************ It is laughable that people would question Trump's morals while they gloss over the sordid character of people like Bill and Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi, Joe Biden, and all the rest. They don't consider that their complaints about Trump are from when he was a PRIVATE citizen. Trump was living his life, not trying to be the pope or the president, he had the same lifestyle as everybody else. Trump was married, he was divorced, he had affairs, he got his groove on, just like everybody else. He ran his business just like everybody else runs their business, they exaggerate and promote their products with additional flair. But when Trump says his hotel is the best in the world, he's a liar. There is a big difference between Trump, and the other people I mentioned who were elected government officials while they were engaged in all sorts of corruption and criminal activity. The Clinton's dirt is too numerous to list, Pelosi has enriched herself using insider trading information in order to trade on the stock market, and Joe Biden has been corrupt for so long he doesn't know the difference between right and wrong anymore. If people are going to question other's morality, then question everybody equally. Don't apply one standard to Trump, and no standards to your own sorry bunch. Doing that is dishonest and disingenuous. ************************************************************************************
