Joe Biden is now POTUS

The progressive part wasn't really the focus of my post but the part about how they feel about immigrants was.
The far left keeps trying to appeal to these folk, just like the middle keep trying to appeal to Trump supporter types. The dems do not appeal to either of these groups but yet they still spend extra attention and money trying to appeal to these groups. People labeled as Latinos who have been here for decades aren't looking a the kids at the border. They looking at their own kids and their present and future.

Yet all I keep hearing from balck progressives is black and brown people this, black and brown people that. Then those same people discount the ADOS movement, which is revolution happening in a lot of black people's minds. What these progressives tell me is that we are not so important and we have care for others first and black folk should not be so selfish.

They have known for decades that demographics were not on their side but it is insane that Trump of all people is the one to get the Latinos back to the Republicans. Keep in mind they tried hard with Bush to bring in Latinos/Africans/Black Evangelicals. They even had a "Latino Night" at the RNC in 2000.:lol:Jeb was supposed to be the future of the party because he was even married to a Mexican. :smh: :lol:

Trump was a scary opponent. He's a raging idiot but he's pretty fucking amazing at selling bullshit. Yeah..it's fucking crazy that the man who started his campaign on Mexicans raping your children is the guy that actually got the Latinos signing up for the GOP :smh: Trump is a wild boy.. that's why he's gonna burn Fox down.. and the GOP... he feels like he got 10M more votes than last time.. even got the fucking mexicans to vote for him after he called them rapist.... he like "shit aint my fault we lost". :lol:
 
So has anyone thanked Black Men yet?

Because if you look at ALL the Media outlets the last few days,
EVERY ONE and their dog appears to be getting Thanks but US!
we don't need thank you's or acknowledgement - let's remind everyone - AND I do mean EVERYONE(sisters) - that had Biden lost we know they would have blamed us. I'd be happy if we did that :grin:
 
Right-wingers on the courts really feeling themselves right. Alito knows they have the votes now... these niggas gonna tear this apart.... theyre gonna rip the rest of the VRA apart too.. watch

 
The problem is black folk tend to operate in the mode of whatever white folk are against. Then we must be for or vice versa.
That's not a clear or rational way to think.
The first thing we need to do is ask ourselves what is good for us. Not immigrants, not people of color, not the poor, not the party, etc....
It irritates this shit out of me when I hear people who are supposedly black leaders talk about black and brown people. I don't want to hear about no brown people because brown people don't bring us up unless it to their benefit or to shit on us.

If Biden had lost folks like Tariq and the other non vote crowd around here would have taken credit and crowing about their success.


That said, I do thank black men, they were the next highest group of gendered voters behind black women to vote him in. I just wish men were leading on this, and not women.
 
i think hes TERRIBLE at bullshitting.

his 50 year career speaks more to the gullibility of his audience than his actual skill set.


Oh. He's GREAT at selling it. We're just not buying the bullshit. Apparently, 72M people are though.

They may be gullible but they just didn't start being gullible in 2016. Trump turned the whole party into a cult. He definitely has the gift of gab... everyone can't be a cult leader.

Even his skill of "repeating" the same shit over and over isn't by accident. He knows that people need to hear something repeatedly in order for it it really trigger. The MAGA shit.. the red hats... Trump is a fucking clown but he can sell... listen, people underestimate his campaigning skills too... this nigga goes on stage and just goes off the dome for 2 hours straight like a fucking comedian. They love that shit. Trump actually has good cadence too.. he's skilled as a speaker when he can just go off script.. that's why I don't think someone else is going to come and repeat what he's done. It's garbage to me but I know I'm not the target.

Don't get me wrong.. he's still trash and a fucking idiot...

you see things in him that i cannot see.

i see incoherence, a grating speech style, low quality ideas, lack of continuity among other deficiencies.

he sounds like a drunk uncle who is dancing on your last nerve.

how anyone can find it charming is beyond me.

What exactly is the "this" you're referring?

It's because I read all that silly ass right wing media and comments. he's speaking another language man. He's fluent in CAC. It took me a long ass time to get it too and I've been reading their shit religiously for 5 years now. I literally go at least once a day and read the comments on at least one article.

Trump got it before everyone.. he knew he had them when he said "i can shoot someone on 5th ave and not lose a supporter"

read the post above... probably took Obama a while to figure it out too.. i'm interested to see what he says about it in his book

that shit must speak to their neanderthal dna.

It has to. It's the craziest shit I've seen. They're still on these right-wing sites saying WHEN Trump wins re-election. It's a cult.
I give him props for it. Kenneth Copeland is a fucking scamming clown, but it does take some skill to run that type of scam for so long. Yo, considering the turnout that Trump got, we got lucky man. He knew before everyone else that Biden was the only one that could beat him and he got himself impeached over trying to get dirt on him :lol:

I cant believe white people (i can though considering what trump represents to them) were really willing to re-elect this idiot...

I don't think in those terms, at least I try not to.

The thing people often fail to realize is that while dems are the most diverse, they still operate in chambers hostile to black folks, other PoC and women. Others are always quick to point out that white dems are racist too, but never see it as a hostile work environment. Some Congress critters and the POTUS have said down right hateful things to women like the squad, publicly and to their face. I'm sure the behind the back commentary is even worse.

When you have an environment hostile to black folks and their advancement, if you want to get something done to benefit them, you can't really do an only black benefit package and get it passed. You couch it in language that benefits everyone. Reparations aside, you have a lot of people wanting black ONLY legislation and it's not likely to happen. We need black candidates and dems in power with large majorities to pull that off. 50 dems for maybe two years is not going to get sweeping legislation done. Biden might not get 50.

We are now seeing things change, but when things change quickly it scares people and there is a backlash. Trump is the backlash to Obama. If you want to be able to say eff their feelings and legislate not having to take backlash into consideration, the only way you can avoid it is to GOTV each time in huge margins, get control of state houses etc. Outside of presidential elections we black folks and dems in general haven't shown that consistency. Old racists show up every election. We don't.
 
What exactly is the "this" you're referring?

The GOTV effort and political action in general, but I was speaking on the percentage of dem voters for the race/gender and group.

Don't get me wrong, there are a lot of black men doing work, but the ones I see getting the spotlight are often divisive or non strategic. Or part of the don't vote crowd, which I can not abide.

Years ago I used to watch KC. He used to have really good teaching series, usually one on one with another pastor or author. He is batshit crazy now tho.

I do the same shit and it is incredible to see not only just how many cacs were always this insane, but also how many seemingly sane ones were susceptible to this bullshit post Obama. :smh: I remember when Drudge was the leading crazy cac news source and now you have cacs on redstate saying he is part of the resistance. :lol:I keep saying it but Obama broke them. 60-70% of cacs believe Black people don't have the mental acuity and intangibles required to be a fucking quarterback but they were forced to watch a Black man be elected to the presidency twice and be loved/respected by the entire world :lol: Trump's secret is that he knows that anything that diminishes Obama is like catnip for cacs.:smh:
 
I know a LOT of long time faculty at TSU and according to nearly all of them, this lady has been a train wreck as Pres of TSU. They say she spent more time working for AKA than the university. But, I guess that's why she's on Kamala's radar. IDK about this one.
To be honest, it's up to Biden to make that pick. Plus, she has to go through a real vetting process. We know Biden's picks will be vetted a lot harder than what we have dealt with the last 4 years.
 
I gotta say, thanks to y’all brothers for the insightful commentary and posts in here. Things have been crazy busy on my end and I’ve appreciated popping in here from time to time and reading y’all’s thoughts. Props especially to @Spectrum @Dota @fonzerrillii and the many others who have shared their analysis on what is the biggest clusterfuck in American electoral history bar-none.

I predicted that this fat orange fuck wouldnt concede as far back as last year. The writing has been on the wall for a while and I’m concerned that even if he eventually leaves Trump will be very instructive for the next facist demagogue that will surely be more cunning and will emerge as resources get predictably strained by Climate Change (impacting the global supply chain). We are in for some rough times my dudes. The only hope is that Biden and his admin go big and make bold decisions without concern for handwringing from the regressive portion of the populace who vote for ppl like Trump.

Just because I don't support your party doesn't mean I support the opposing party. This "if you are not with me, then you are against me" attitude as it relates to politics is just as bad as gangbanging in the street. Both are ignorant.

Republicans have literally nothing to offer to modern human beings. Unless you’re a scion of old wealth that is. These “both sides” takes are incredibly retarded, even WITH the obvious failures and weaknesses of Dems. FOH with the false equivalences.
