Beautiful Sister Breaks it down - Joe Biden May Win Because of Black Political Immaturity

[Squirrel from Meteor Man]

It's amazing how Bernie, given his history, fumbled the black outreach.

It’s not amazing. His state has no black people in it.

 

[Squirrel from Meteor Man]

It’s funny calling black Biden voters immature when your choice candidate makes promises with absolutely no realistic policy to back them up.

What’s more immature than running on a platform of erasing everyone’s student loans, and giving everyone free, top-notch healthcare with no plan on how you’re going to pay for it?

Another white nationalist troll thread. What a surprise!!

Older black voters don't care about the same issues we do.
They don't care about mass incarceration, in fact they were some of the main ones pushing for the crime bill in the 90s
Most of them don't have school loans, cause they don't have degrees. If they do they got it when college was like $2000 a year
And most of them don't care about free healthcare cause they already on medicare
Oh and they definitely don't support legalized weed

The majority of black ppl over 65 would be straight up CONSERVATIVES if the republican parties wasn't full of a bunch of racists
Old black people carrying trash candidates like Hillary and Biden makes total sense to me

They are jeapardizing our future quite frankly. More young people need to be engaged and vote. This is perhaps the last election cycle where we can vote in a candidate with proposals that will have some meaningful impact on mitigating an environmental catastrophe. I know most young people aren't concerned with this. But obectively this is whats at stake here. Old voters who are out of touch and on their way out are screwing our future. And the youth are treading a very dangerous line my not voting. I have a feeling that 10 or 20 years from now the course of actions our society take now will be viewed as the most consequential in history.

Less people vote in primaries than general.

That’s not what the stats saying. It’s saying there were less young ppl who voted in the primary than last time. They had a lower participation rate than they did in 2016

I rather be in a room full of black Democrats than the only black in a room full of Bernie Bros Secondly, most Black people are conservative. The far left liberal nonsense don’t fly with us. We don’t want the world to burn down. We just want improvements. Your black relatives don’t care about the rights of illegal immigrants, the Me Too movement or if trannys can use bathrooms with little girls. And lastly, black people just STARTED to make waves in terms of economic empowerment. Our great-great grandparents were slaves. Our great grandparents and grandparents lived under Jim Crow. Our parents lived under systemic racism and inequality. Our generation has our share of issues but, there are more opportunities for us than our predecessors had. We had a black president. Several black billionaires and millionaires. Black artists, celebrities and entertainers being paid their worth. More black businesses employing Black people around the country. Growing black middle class. More black people going to college. We just got started basically. Coincidentally, the same time our opportunities began to widen is the same time white males got angry about their lives When Bernie is railing against the elite I wonder if he’s including Oprah, Jay-Z, Diddy, Tyler Perry, Denzel, Will Smith, Robert F. Smith and others in his attacks None of those people stole money from anybody and they built everything from the mud. He sounds silly attacking them. Successful Black people are not the elite. They haven’t stolen wealth from the middle class. Black people were slaves and second class citizens for the last 400 years. We weren’t getting shyt. Rich whites were living nice White people enjoyed that success Now things are starting to become more equal (there’s still inequality but it’s leveling out), and he wants to destroy the system. Where was Medicare For All in the 1950s? Where was Free College during Jim Crow? Where was drug decriminalization during the crack era? They didn’t want it because they were successful enjoying their happy white lives. They didn’t care because only we were fukked up back then. Obviously, free college and free healthcare are needed in this country but, I rather pass it through another candidate. I can’t help but feel that Bernie is the candidate for entitled, slightly less racist but still racist angry white males. I have nothing in common with them cacs.

Bernie stans mad AF

 

[Captain Crunch]

This is stupid.

You don't get perfect candidates.

Anything is necessary to remove Trump.

You're right and you're wrong. You're right that we don't get perfect candidates, you're wrong in saying "anything is necessary to remove Trump". Am I a fan of Trump and will support him? No, but any alternative to Trump has to have a legit Black agenda, "the lesser of two evils" hasn't worked for Black America.

HuffPost is now a part of Verizon Media

• Between 1983 and 2016, the median Black family saw their wealth drop by more than half after inflation, compared to a 33% increase for the median White household. Meanwhile, the number of households with $10 million or more skyrocketed by 856%
• The median Black family today owns $3,600 — just 2% of the wealth of the median White family. The median Latino family owns $6,600 — just 4% of the median White family.

Not a completely honest take. We didnt "make" anyone out to be anything wholesale. Lets not act like this was one sided. Alot of it was rooted in cultural self actualization in the face of groups being vehemently against that. Which alot were non-afram blacks

will post a comment I made here

Not sure why I was tagged, but since I was.....I'll comment on this article and restate what I've always said.

People have a right to determine how to identify and which people to identify with. They also have a right and obligation to look out for the interests of that group.

So, I disagree with the article point about "deciding who is ados is divisive". It's not. I am Haitian American......Haitian on both sides. Somebody else here might be African American, and Ados on both sides. Another member might have a Haitian father and African American mother, they would have heritage from both groups. Increasingly, many more Blacks in America are going to be bi-cultural or bi-ethnic or from multiple Black heritages.

AAs, Ados or whatever term others adopt is their business. My issue has always been that I've taken offense to YC/AM using lies, misleading info, and contradictions to scapegoat Blacks of foreign background. That's where the divisiveness comes in.The case they are making could stand on it's own by telling the truth.
But the term itself, or the identity itself, is NOT divisive.

I spent 2019 debunking/refuting the lies and disinformation referenced in this quote..with evidence.
I gave people the benefit of the doubt that they had little or no contact/interaction with international Blacks, and therefor more likely to believe what they heard. Reasonable people were able to see the holes in the lies and misleading info.
For others, the same myths got repeated anyway. Willingness to believe proven falsehoods about other groups has nothing to with self actualization. Has more to do with looking for a villain.

I also spent 2019 debunking/refuting lies and disinformation written here about AAs. By default an immigrant into a country will have contact/interaction with native born members of their new country. They will see and be aware of a wide spectrum of people from that group. When I corrected myths and stereotypes about AAs, it was framed in a way that resonated with the person's experience and they fell back.
Say an immigrant says that AAs are all (insert negative stereotype)....I can remind them that the mayor of the city they lived in when they first got here, the city council members, school principals,police chief, business &civic leaders, leaders of churches were most likely all AAs. Then I ask them to repeat the stereotype again .

Imagine calling your grandma and grandaddy dem immature for actually getting out and voting for the only person they think that has a chance while youth turnout is down across the board.

You smart dumb nikkas gone learn

For real. Where were these politically mature geniuses to vote for Bernie?

 

[GreenGhxst]

my girl said she voted for biden because he has the best chance to beat trump

 

[Pirius Black]

What’s more immature than running on a platform of erasing everyone’s student loans, and giving everyone free, top-notch healthcare with no plan on how you’re going to pay for it?

The Bernie agenda is literally just like Trump and the wall: we're all gonna get free shyt and rich people are gonna pay for it.

 

[GreenGhxst]

The sister is right black voters have a simple minded view of politics.

I am still disgusted with how blacks voted for senile old Biden. Don't they see how the dude can barely string proper sentences together. Black people as a community gotta pay attention to what the fukk they are seeing on CNN and MSNBC, they are just following the trend of these rich white folks that wanna tell everybody what to do and how to think.

Did we vote for Biden because we're "simple minded" or was it because we knew Bernie didn't have a shot at beating Trump

The problem with these types of statements is that when it comes to our own we choose to use the pessimistic view

An argument could be made that we were well informed, and we chose to pick Biden because he is more centrist and he may beat Trump

If this were white voters, a lot of y'all would give them the more complex explanation

But for us...? We're just simple minded negros that voted for Biden because he worked with Barack, which is some fukk shyt to me

 

[Burned Verses]

Sounds like the “democratic plantation” talk half of y’all have been pushing for years but now it’s a problem?
