Between Stop and Frisk & justifying Redlining, how can any black person support Bloomberg?

[Geek Nasty]

Meeks was on the news last night to endorse him. I was so i changed the channel. I dont think black people have be monolythic on all issues but this is one place we should all be on code.

The simple answer wold be that because all of his policies aren't bad and he's better than Trump.

But I don't see a lot of Black people supporting him so I don't put much thought into this hypothetical

We are still in the primaries

Like seriously?

Justifying one of the worst and most impactful practices of the American apartheid system is beyond the pale.

You can't. thats the simple answer. so when you do see 2 black people supporting him. just know that Post traumatic Slave Disorder is real and it effects each one of us in different ways. i'm not going to even waste my time trying to talk to those types.

I'm not sure if you realized it in your justifiable anger at Bloomberg but you put Trump on a pedestal and said he's had a positive impact on black people.

I think we both know that he hasn't but I would be happy to walk you through some of the negative aspects of his presidency. Trump's tax policies, anti environmental work, cutting funding to safety nets and agencies have put a target on black people. Trump and his administration have been staffed by white supremacists since the beginning.

Also you said Trump has been bad for other minorities but not black people and you may feel differently but the black people dealing with family separation, dying in ICE prisons, and being deported to places they've never lived are my brothers and sisters.


I don't want Bloomberg to win the nomination and I don't see it happening but I'll be damned if Trump remains in the White House for another four years. You guys realize that the four years we've already dealt with for Trump will have lasting negative consequences for the rest of your lives and probably your children's lives right? Another four years of Trump could ensure that for your children's children.

the same could easily be said for mr stop and frisk. no thank you. sorry trump is no scarier than bloomberg to be as a black person. Freddy or Jason. its all the same to me.

I would think black folks wouldn't support him, but his polling in South Carolina seems to be pretty good for whatever reason

its called an Ads blitz. people including black people are SHEEPLE. its not hard at all to change their minds. All you need is the megaphone loud enough to get the masses to hear your nonsense and if you put it in a pretty enough package, the people white, black or purple will start leaning your way. no matter how bad your record is in regards to said people. people are...SHEEPLE. everyday that goes by in these primaries I can see that as clear as day. We need to start holding courses on how to think critically/analytically. And how to fact check, do some research.

Trump supported, and still supports stop and frisk. It's hilarious that he called Bloomberg a racist for supporting a policy he too supports. He deleted the tweet because he was telling on himself, and he knew it

And ads, lots and lots of ads.

Yea, I just don't see it.

He's spending a lot of money. He's on the air. He has big offices. And the name bloomberg is a known commodity.

I dont see black folks peeping him at any high clip. We have to rember, 9% of black men support Trump.

So if he's getting those types of numbers it's because 10% of us are .

 

[Serious]

I just voted for this guy, what is he doing.

"Houston mayor backs Bloomberg and will help launch "Mike for Black America"
Mike Bloomberg gets endorsement from Houston mayor Sylvester Turner, will help launch "Mike for Black America" - CBS News

[Joe Sixpack]

I hate Bloomberg with a passion but if he’s the nominee I’m voting for him

I have to...

I

nothing dumb about what i said. Prove me wrong with actual facts.

we have the facts on stop and frisk bloomberg, and mr "redlining wasnt bad"
we have the facts on dumb trump.
Same...Same as far as black people are concerned. sure bloom isnt as idiotic when it comes to his presentation. but the results are the same. Dont be so slow and easily wooed by a good looking setup. if the results are the same, they are the same.
