Guest FAS Posted September 27, 2020 Report Share Posted September 27, 2020 So disingenuous. Abraham Lincoln was a Republican, too. Almost ALL new freedmen of the 1800's when Lincoln and Hiram were elected, were Republicans. African-Americans didn't start voting for the Democratic party, en masse, until Franklin Delano Roosevelt ran for and won the Presidency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troy Posted September 28, 2020 Report Share Posted September 28, 2020 Again, the 19th century Republican and Democratic party are completely different the parties of the 21st century. It would be more accurate to describe the parties of being reversed of each other. Sure I'm all for honoring Revels and all of the Black men who served in the congress immediately upon the end of our enslavement in this country, but to use this as evidence that the Republican party is somehow a long term supporter of Black people is to ignore the history of the party over that past 100 years.

daniellegfny Posted September 28, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2020 @Troy you are trying to drive a certain perspective. I am pointing out what has taken place. It’s important to know what the true history of America is and not one slanted by not pointing out the positives. Any political party is as valuable as the current members of the party. The PreTrump party is not the same as the inclusive PostTrump Republican Party. 5 hours ago, Troy said: but to use this as evidence that the Republican party is somehow a long term supporter of Black people is to ignore the history of the party over that past 100 years.

Stand by....for WHAT??? You proudly support a man who REFUSES to condemn White Supremacy. Troy I vote, but I vote in LOCAL elections. I don't vote in the Federal Election (not since Obama's first term) because I know it doesn't count. They've already decided who will get in. Most AfroAmericans don't want to acknowledge or even believe this because to do so means they would have to admit they have no REAL political power. .....something they don't want to accept.

Black People openly belong to the Proud Boys. Based on the news reporting I have heard they have been a counterbalance to Antifa and BLM. There were Black folks who sided with the Confederacy to keep slavery going. There were Black folks in Africa who helped Caucasians to enslave other Black folks. There are Black officers who lie and help fill out paper work in defense of Caucasian officers who shot an unarmed Black person. Just because a Black person participates in an organization, doesn't mean it's not viciously racist and evil. There are some AfroAmericans who are stupid enough and non-caring enough to do ANYTHING including kill their own mothers for a quick buck or some fame....let alone sell out their entire race. By that I mean I have assessed his political philosophy and see that there is no benefit in discussing matters of politics with him. Lol..... To the contrary, YOU were being educated but your "handlers" got worried and warned you to top talking politics with me because they knew the impact I was having on the viewer who were following our exchanges. The biggest difference between you and our other associate is that Lol @ "our associate". Sounds like the Mafia. "Hey fellas...... Meet our new associate here!" Troy Well.......... Not sure of the entire circumstance surrounding his contracting the Coronavirus but if Trump is an ASYMPTOMATIC positive this could potentially be used by him to downplay the seriousness of the disease. (like someone else we know....lol) Did you understand what I wrote about electors? If so then you'd know your statement is irrelevant. I totally understand what you said as well as the process. What I DON'T understand.....and perhaps you can explain it to me.....is how someone can win the popular vote by 3 million and LEGITIMATELY lose the electoral vote. That doesn't add up. Although it's not exact, the amount of electoral votes are supposed to LINE UP with the population in each state. So while it's conceivable to win the popular vote by...say...HALF a million...and still lose the electoral vote. How in the WORLD can someone get 3 million more popular votes and lose the electorate????? That's almost like getting straight A's in your class but STILL flunking on some sort of technicality.

No one has said getting covid-19 is a death sentence. You are being intellectually dishonest and irrational. Of course 45 will get the best treatment available, while many, without medical insurance are much more susceptible to dying. Herman Cain died despite these benefits, I don't recall you using the same flawed reasoning in his untimely death. 3 hours ago, Pioneer1 said: What I DON'T understand.....and perhaps you can explain it to me.....is how someone can win the popular vote by 3 million and LEGITIMATELY lose the electoral vote. There are 540 electoral votes, a presidential candidate need the majority of these, 270, to win. A candidate can fail to get a single vote in 39 states and win, by only 1 vote, in the following 11 states: California, which has 55 votes, Texas with 38, Florida with 29, New York with 29 votes, Illinois with 20 votes, Pennsylvania with 20 votes, Ohio with 18 votes, Georgia with 16 votes, Michigan with 16 votes, North Carolina with 15 votes, and New Jersey which has 14 votes The candidate would lose by the popular votes by 10's of millions of votes, but win the electoral college and become POTUS. This is why the ongoing disenfranchisement of voters in Florida is so important. Again, this is why voting and completing the census form is so important. Now that the supreme court is stacked with Republicans, and Black people don't vote, the electoral college will be with us for the foreseeable future.

Pioneer1 Posted October 2, 2020 Report Share Posted October 2, 2020 Troy Ok, I admit that the scenario you laid out makes a LITTLE more sense of how that could happen but.....would your scenario give 3 million votes to the losing candidate???? You're scenario is an almost PERFECT scenario....which usually doesn't happen in real life elections. First of all there are a lot of red states like Texas, Florida, and Georgia mixed up in that 11. It's hard to believe that the SAME person who won New York and New Jersey will be the SAME person who won Georgia and Texas. If you're GOING to play the game, perhaps what Democrats should be aiming for is OVERWHELMING voter turn out in all states for them to the point that even with their cheating the Republicans will be crushed. That's how Obama and Clinton got elected. They have to fight with OVERWHELMING force. Because if it came anywhere near close then the Republicans would just cheat their way into office. Now the voters should do their part, but you also have to understand that once the Democrats actually get in office they must do THEIR PART also! Once they get in office they have to ACTUALLY FIGHT the Republicans on key issue, instead of capitulating and compromising with them. And they also have to start transfering wealth to those who voted for them! Republicans give money back to those who helped them get in office....Democrats don't give the poor or AfroAmericans shit. Not even a "thank you" card. Oh yeahhhh.....Democrats are good for shaking their finger at lazy voters. They're good for scolding the voters and telling them to get off their ass and vote, and if they don't vote then don't complain. But once these Democrats are voted in office they don't DO SHIT for those who DID get off their ass and vote for them.....which is why so many aren't motivated to vote in the first place. Like you said in another thread, people want to vote FOR something...not simply AGAINST it. Why should I even waste my time to get off the couch while enjoying my day off and run down to the polls just to vote for some asshole who ain't really going to do shit anyway? I'm supposed to vote for him because....he may be an asshole but atleast he's not AS BIG of an asshole as the Republican he's running against.

Unity with them would be counterproductive. And some people don't have any imagination or vision BEYOND the society that Caucasians have constructed for them to live in. For a dog or a cat........ Eating nasty food and sleeping on the floor is MUCH better than having to live outside in the elements and fight other animals to survive. And on the occasion that the "Master" tosses it some scraps or allows it to sleep in the same bed with him.....oh man...they think it's "heaven" and thinks it don't get much better than that, lol. Why? Because (like that cable bill commercial that shows the hamster chewing on money....lol) they're ANIMALS and their intelligence is limited and their vision is limited so they don't have enough sense to imagine anything better than what they already are getting from their master. A lot of our people are the same way. They think THIS society we currently have is as good as it gets.....lol. The idea that WE (as AfroAmericans) could actually build something bigger and better that would put this current world to shame is beyond their scope of imagination. Most AfroAmericans hadn't IMAGINED a kingdom or even a city bigger than New York until the movie "Black Panther" came out.....which shows you how limited many of their minds were. Like that old House Negro When another slave comes to him and says "Come on man, let's go and leave this place........." He stands there looking at him crazy and says: "Go? Go where? Nicca you must be crazy! You don't not recognize how good we GOT IT HERE! Ain't nothing better than this here! You can go if YOU wanna go.....but I love it here!!"
