Don’t vote, family.

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

Anyone who posts Tariq on here is an instant neg on site lol

 

[Wildhundreds]

I wish you cared about other black people. Other black men. Other than yourself

Its a lot of black people doing well for themselves, in a lot of states across the country.. The brothers and sisters with issues need to come clean, and voice their own specific complaints thats specific to them so they can be discussed.. A lot of people come on here and make blanketed statements as if it represents all blacks in America.

 

[Brolic]

yall make shilling look like a solid as job with PTO, Dental and Medical god damn. every political season you working hard asf on social media.

all these billions of dollars to white folk in ukraine, illegals, asians and every non black group but all we get is "not voting aint gon' work" from koon ass social media shills

non citizens dont have to sit up and listen to "the republicans gon' get us if we dont vote" they just arrive illegally and reap benefits

its about time to stop the shaming and manipulation tactics and tell your democrat paymasters to cut the check for the stolen money thats owed to foundational black americans. enough is enough.

I’m not even a democrat dummy. I agree with the bolded. You’re just quoting Tariq without using logic. The democrats could pass a reparations bill tomorrow and nothing would happen because the conservative Supreme Court would block it.

 

[RickyDiBiase]

We ain’t getting reparations in this life time

 

[voltronblack]

you bring up this not voting shyt but these states that push these policies is ALL majority republican states where it's nothing but cacs so what difference then it makes then??? That's what democracy is right. power in numbers yes?

Your right that what lot these supreme court panic threads like this that getting make in TLR this week are willfully ignoring is that America is still a majority white country Alot of these posters would better off working on getting more white people to vote dem rather throwing black people under the bus

America’s Problem is That White People Want It to Be a Failed State

Can America Solve the Problem of the White American Voter?

eand.co

I have some bad news, and then I have some worse news. Don’t worry, you’ll thank me later. The first piece of bad news is this. Here’s a fact that most people underestimate. America is still about 80% white. 80%. Given the record-breaking turnout, this election is going to be more about America’s white majority than about minorities, probably, at least if every group turns out in record numbers roughly equally. Minorities have much less power than many imagine, precisely because they are still seriously in the…minority. This election is about white America, and if it really wants to live in a democracy — or if it’s happier living in a fascist society.

You might think that sounds over the top, so here’s the worse news. The chart above says this. It says that white Americans, as a group, have never, as a group, voted for a Democratic President. Never in modern history. In fact, the chart above in fact understates the problem. This trend goes back to JFK and perhaps before. Are you beginning to see the problem here? Why I say “America’s problem is that white people want it to be a failed state?”

Let me make it clearer. White Americans can be relied on, in the majority, as a group, to “vote Republican.” I put it in quotes because it’s worth examining what that anodyne statement really means. Liberal, sane, thoughtful White Americans often overestimate how many of them there are, how widespread their cause is. The result is that when I say “Americans are…” meaning of course the majority, which is still white, I get a wave of protest. Americans aren’t dumb! Americans aren’t dumb! They’re not violent, stupid racists! They want to live in a modern society! Are they, do they — at least the white majority? Let’s take a brief and hard look at reality.

Here are some things white Americans have been for, as a group, in their majority. Segregation. Endless war. Inequality. Billionaires. Capital. Guns and religion as primary social values. That is what the voting pattern above means. Conversely, here are some thing white Americans have been against, as a group, in their majority. Desegregation. Civil rights. Womens’ rights. Their own healthcare, retirement, and childcare. Public goods of any kind whatsoever. That is what the “voting pattern” above means in the real world. Need I go on? America’s problem is that white Americans as a social group, its majority social group, want America to be a failed state. They don’t want to live in a modern, civilised democracy, and never have.

White America is America’s problem. A big, white, ignorant problem. The problem of the white American voter — that white Americans don’t want to admit — goes back more than half a century at this point. If the answer is “Make America Great Again!” then the question is: “well, who brought it this point of self-destruction?” and the answer is….white Americans. They’re the ones responsible for the self-destruction of the society they still rule as a massive majority. Nobody else is responsible for their poverty, despair, and humiliation but them. That is what the chart above makes crystal clear.

Who voted, over and over again, to have worse lives? No healthcare, retirement, affordable education, childcare — no public goods of any kind whatsoever? White Americans did. What the? The question baffles the world. Why would anyone choose a worse life? The answer is that white Americans would not accept a society of true equals. “I won’t pay for those dirty, filthy peoples’ educations, healthcare, retirements! Why, their grandparents were my grandpappy’s slaves!” White Americans chose to retain power, supremacy, superiority, even in a failing society. They chose staying on top of decline and ruin, rather than prospering as equals.

Let me make that even clearer, by putting it in a global perspective. This is the part you’re really not going to like.

White Americans are the rich world’s most hostile, ignorant, violent, cruel, and selfish social group — by a very long way. “Voting conservative” after all doesn’t mean nearly the same thing in Europe or Canada. There, even conservative parties agree on the basics — people should have healthcare, education, retirement, that the only point of the public purse isn’t endless war and death machines. Conservatism in America is off the charts, and so “voting” that way carries a very different meaning. It means that White Americans are the rich world’s most regressive, ignorant, and self-destructive political bloc — by such a long way that they might as well not be in the rich world at all.

I don’t mean any of that as an insult, by the way. I mean it objectively, literally, factually. You’d think that by now White Americans would have figured out that voting against their own standards of living ever rising just because it meant black and brown people would have public goods too was…imbecilic. Especially watching Europe and Canada rise and prosper. They’ve had more than half a century to figure that out. But they still haven’t. What else do you call the inability to learn from the world and history but…ignorance?

Do you know what the word imbecile means? Someone who can’t look after themselves. But that’s what has happened: white people are the ones who wrecked their very own lives, futures, and society — beginning the moment, decades back, that minorities finally gained a few rights, in a giant, stupid, endless, escalating temper tantrum, that culminated in Trumpism.

I know this sounds insulting. But to speak factually and empirically about levels of self-destruction this immense requires us to reach beyond the lines of everyday discourse. Let me try again, then.

White Americans really are different. From their peers — or at least the people they believe are their peers. But the truth that their political choices over decades reveals is this. White Americans have almost nothing in common with White Europeans or Canadians — who back the expansive social contracts of social democracies reliably. White Americans reliably reject such choices, which is how they made their society collapse. instead, they have more in common with the ethnic-religious-fundamentalist majorities of nations like Iran, or the authoritarian-nationalist majorities of nations like Russia. They are regressive, sectarian, fundamentalist, unable to change, trapped by their own ideologies.

That is how and why America collapsed. Black People didn’t make it so. Brown People didn’t. Native Americans didn’t. America is still about 80% white, and white Americans make a certain choice reliably and consistently and predictably as a group — they vote “conservative,” but conservative in America doesn’t mean what it does in the rest of the rich world — it means something much more like Iran or Russia. Bang.

The current strategy seems to tbe the following:

1. Acknowledgment of things being bad

2. Conflate a bunch of random stuff with why they are bad

3. Cite historical examples of bad politicians, current examples of bad or misunderstood politicians, and completely ignore the ones who try but are in a minority. Relativize all of them with zero distinctions, quotes no bills, no initiatives , and sign no specific blame to anyone to avoid tarnishing the “both sides” message.

4. Bank on shyt getting worse as a grand punishment to the voting populace.

5. Bank on the populace deciding not to vote being the catalyst for a windfall. Ignore the fact that anyone who opposes out positions are winning and making it harder for us to win or govern after winning (Scott Walker’ fukkery in Wisconsin before the next Governor could come in).

6. Repeat. Never do a deeper analysis. Dont mention who opposition is funded by. Dont bring up that some anti LGBTQ organization that funded a candidate you love also has some…questionable positions on Black people because “we agree with them.”

It's working perfectly family

OP you just don't understand. A woman, a W-O-M-A-N used her private emails for work related purposes. That's the real evil

fukk that. The Popeye's lady ain't even "PN€A" and OP can't understand why we ain't voting

I’m not even a democrat dummy. I agree with the bolded. You’re just quoting Tariq without using logic. The democrats could pass a reparations bill tomorrow and nothing would happen because the conservative Supreme Court would block it.

I have him on ignore because of the conservative-leaning bullshyt he posts. He probably posted some dumb shyt in here too. c00n shyt

 

[Sleepy Floyd]

We need a different strategy
How would letting republicans win help us get tangibles/reparations? This week has shown that even if the democrats passed a reparations bill, the republicans would challenge it and send it to the Supreme Court. And the the Supreme Court would block it

Agent c00ns and MAGA always trying to suppress the black vote. They're always either trying to get us to vote Republican or not vote at all.

 

[Amare's Right Hook]

Vote for Hulk Hogan

 

[Luke Cage]

Only way we will ever sniff tangibles if we get the republican as most out of power as possible.
can't believe People on the coli were saying Bidens supreme court pick was symbolic only,smh

 

[Loose]

it took republicans 30+ years to get where they're now, their voters/base played the long game to chop at beneficial civil rights . c00ns be expecting change over the course of 4 years, this shyt over with.

I don’t even think he’s a c00n. He’s just a Tariq dikk rider.
If Tariq switched up his stance and told everyone to vote, then he’d be in every thread telling people to vote/regurgitating what Tariq said.

 

[BlazedWun]

This whole situation highlights really one thing. In order for minorities to get what they’re looking for in the political field, they would need complete support and compliance from both sides in perpetuity.

Think about this, Roe v Wade stood for 60 years and was undone that easily. Anything we get could be handled the same way concerning our grandkids.

This system is broken and inherently flawed. Completely. You get a more balanced court 20 years from now and they restore Affirmative Action ok. What happens 20 years after that? There is no safe haven for us in that world. We’re trying to find security in something that wasnt built to serve us.

What do you do, when the majority chooses not to agree with you? That is how the system works. This is America, this is what it wants. You are outvoted. It’s got nothing to do with how many of you show up and vote, as a minority it would never be enough people showing up to vote if the majority that outnumbers you wants the smoke.

I think you're right in a way, but you're also wrong.

this is not a "this is how it is and vote harder next time" situation. Democrats were straight up scammed out of two supreme court appoints, the court would have been more balanced, if republicans werent allowed to block appointments they didnt like, then ram through theirs. This isnt america, and this isnt what it wants, this is what the people who know how to rig the system, and grab the levers of power effectively, wants.

democrats need to learn how to grab power effectively and hold it, to make policies stick, and to not cave. Senate control matters. Elections matter. And this is how they matter.
