Gee, a lot of people tripped rushing to the polls in 2008 to vote for Obama and prove they weren't racist.
It's been downhill ever since.
Had read about McStain--spoiled son of an admiral--who caused a fire on board an aircraft carrier which resulted in loss of lives, plus his shameful POW record, and also abandonment of his faithful wife on return home. Understood he was no good.
Everyone was swooning over Obama, anointed by Oprah, but I thought it strange he came out of nowhere, and with no proof of US citizenship. Also deeply offended they were comparing him to the Lord Jesus Christ, as if he were a new messiah. No way to vote for him after that.
I understood Obama was "the chosen one," when I was asked at a mall kiosk selling Dead Sea products my opinion of Obama (before he became the Dem nominee). Was told his election was going to be "historical." On election night, Obama family came out onstage in Chicago (hotbed of Communism) in Communist colors of red and black and Michael/Michelle with an abdominal design resembling a black widow spider.
Currently, Charles III, scheduled to be crowned king in May, is also trying to prove he is not "racist" by giving in to demands of Meghan Markle. The Harkles seem to be trying to become the "Queen and King" of America, and Sparry is working with Aspen Institute to destroy the First Amendment, which he publicly derided as "bonkers." The Harkles are dangerous and have more power than they ought to have.
First, they made sure African Americans got a shitty education. That directly lead to a lower standard of living. Then the media over blows every white cop defending himself, enraging African Americans. Then create a movement like BLM to manipulate them even further...
The left has been brewing this for years.
I experienced a different event - I had great relations ( white female) with all delivery truck ( mostly semi’s / some smaller box trucks / trailers— drivers until riots during Obama’s “reign “ and the guys I’d had a comfortable relationship with changed —immediately after riots in Missouri ( Ferguson crap) changed relations forever — former ‘friends’ now suspicious—- sucks
After Ferguson, someone I had known since Middle School called me racist for not automatically accepting the story. This was from practically the richest, most ”privileged” black person (with a white mom) I’ve ever known.
Who is "they"? African Americans are going to better schools than they did in the 60's and they have more opportunities than ever to go to college, yet they still live in poverty. Why is that?
Go ask those kids living poverty if they've seen their daddy. Ever.
I guess you missed the recent numbers that came out of Illinois and Maryland, where damn near NO schools had a student test at grade level in math. The inner city schools are a freaking disaster. And opportunities to go to college? Sure, if they test well enough to get in. Granted the standards are lower now, but not THAT low.
"They", being the establishment in DC. They would rather abort black children than educate them properly. It's damn disgusting.
And yes, they have opportunities, but most of them aren't taught how to take advantage of them. Far too many of them don't have a father at home to instill discipline. Again, that was incentivized by the government. It has all been by design.
Race relations are kind of fake in my view. It goes with the wind of the media.
Before Obama, it was much better.
All it took was for BLM and Antifa to increase tension.
Once we defeat the woke crap.
Do another poll.
People will change their minds again.
We need to start acting like this is not a static issue. We also need to point out that the media still can control how we feel about each other.
People still are listening to various forms of media and polls to determine what is really going on.
I am hoping people stop relying on social media, MSM, polls to determine social issues.
Three words: Occupy Wall Street.
We all remember. BARACK HUSSEIN 0BAMA I’d never seen such hatred and instigations before. His incompetent veep is matching his record.
Yep, the woke-ism started back then. It is destroying us.
That about sums it up. I am getting really, really over it--- we are looking at colleges and it is all pretty much a disgusting mess.
My college education was lousy in hindsight. It helped me only with getting an overseas job, where a college degree was a requirement.
