So you’re ok with trump running roughshod with no checks and balances? Enriching his whole crew and multinational corporations off the back of Americans, cutting entitlements, slashing regulations, implementing laws that negatively affect minority communities. That’s all cool with you?Of course, fukk kinda comment is this breh? That's what's so disgusting. Beto wins, he will act like he never seen Black folks before till 2022. Cruz wins and it's business as usual. Don't you get tried of the bullshyt?
You have to understand white supremacy is not only an American thing. Matter of fact it’s worse in Latin America. They worship white skin and see the top tier in Hispanic society. Racial whitening was a policy in many Latin American countries.Holy shyt! I hate Hispanic00ns with a passionforget where you came from just to assimilate with white culture brehs. These people don’t realize they can be American while not forgetting where they come from and what their families went through to come to this country.
How? Just saying it's better because one takes photo ops doesn't it make so
I was actually in politics and was a raising star till I left and just decided to focus on IT instead. Best decision ever. It's not what you think. Both parties are attached at the hip.
What's funny Lokesh?
I don't give a fukk about Cruz or Beto. Beto be pandering and Cruz is a white supremacists. fukk them both. Both always have and will find ways to help everybody BUT black people.
Like when. Don't give me no police brutality? All a white man gotta do is say, I support Kaep or do a Kappa Shimmy and ya'll liberal negros start buck dancing like Roland. Where is his plan for Black people specifically? Where is his Black agenda?
Of course, fukk kinda comment is this breh? That's what's so disgusting. Beto wins, he will act like he never seen Black folks before till 2022. Cruz wins and it's business as usual. Don't you get tried of the bullshyt?
About a month ago he gave this response to a cac asking him about NFL players kneeling during the national anthem:
This video went viral and people started to believe he actually had a chance.
Wow that was a great answer.
When the choice is between an alt right racist goblin like Ted Cruz or this guy.Then Anybody coming in these threads trying to talk shyt about Beto deserves negs and to be called out for the racist cacs they are. Ted Cruz is literally on record defending that racist pig female cop that killed the brotha Botham in his own home. This aint a game, anybody with the gall to try and tear down Cruz's opposition deserves to be banned/negged on sight.
From the debate last night, Cruz doesn't think the bytch officer that shot the brother in his own home should be fired and you nikkas saying don't vote?

Where do you get this from? Is it something you know about Beto O'Rourke himself or did you just make it up entirely? And why did you say "2022" - senators are elected for six years, if he wins this election he serves until the beginning of 2025. That's something that someone who claims to have been a "rising star" in politics should know.
These are some of Beto's statements and platform:
From O'Rourke's platform on his website:
A Criminal Justice System Texans Can Trust
We imprison more of our own people than does any other country on the planet. Our system of imprisonment is biased against African Americans and Latinos and criminalizes the poor. This must end. We can be more effective at rehabilitation and improve safety in our communities at a much lower cost while improving the opportunities for young people to achieve to their full potential.
To do so we must do the following:
- End the U.S. government’s war on drugs and encourage comprehensive reforms in drug control policies that have had a devastating effect on communities of color.
- End the federal prohibition on marijuana.
- End the practice of private and for-profit prisons that cost more, have the perverse incentive to send more people to jail, and have demonstrably higher levels of violence. According to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, prisons owned by for-profit companies held nearly three-quarters of federal immigration detainees in 2016.
- Find ways for nonviolent offenders to be held accountable for their crimes outside of the prison system and support programs that help rehabilitate them.
- Improve access to mental health services within our prison systems to help diagnose and address offenders with existing mental health issues and drive down rates of recidivism.
- End the current system of bail bonds that punishes people for being poor. The current system allows bail for those who can afford it, instead of ensuring that a person’s release won’t result in harm to someone else. Reforming the bail system will refocus public dollars on community safety and ensure that we no longer waste resources on incarcerating those who are not a public safety risk.
Education Texans Can Trust
Every Texan deserves access to a quality education that will allow them to reach their full potential. It is the surest path to individual success and for the collective success of our state and country.
- No public tax dollars should be given to private schools.
- Increase public funding for low income and underserved communities.
- Public school teachers should have their retirements protected by ensuring that we do away with the Windfall Elimination Provision.
- We should continue to take steps towards moving control to the classroom and empowering teachers to fulfill their calling by having autonomy to teach their students and reduce the emphasis on arbitrary, high-stakes tests.
- Strike down toxic legislation like Senate Bill 6 and any regulation that discriminates against a student based on their sexual orientation or gender identity.
Healthcare Texans Can Trust
Healthcare is a moral question that transcends politics – it is a basic human right, not a privilege. 4.3 million Texans – including over 600,000 children – can’t see a doctor, or when they do, they’re so sick they have no choice but to go to the Emergency Room where the cost will be many times more expensive and the outcome will be worse.
When a mother forgoes a routine mammogram because she is uninsured, or a father ignores chronic pain because he didn’t qualify for a subsidy to buy insurance, everyone’s healthcare costs are likely to be greater in the long-term. We want our parents and our children to be healthy and live to their full potential. This is much more likely when they have access to the healthcare they need.
Steps that we should take together to transform healthcare include:
- Improving the Affordable Care Act (ACA) by stabilizing our insurance markets. Guaranteeing continued payments for ACA subsidies that reduce enrollees’ cost-sharing and reimbursing insurers for high-cost individuals.
- Incentivizing insurers to participate in the exchanges, especially in underserved counties.
- Expanding Medicaid to cover more Texans and protecting the Medicaid guarantee for vulnerable children, the disabled, and the elderly.
- Lowering premiums and prescription drug costs by using the government’s purchasing power to make healthcare more affordable for everyone.
- Creating a public option on the exchanges so that Americans are guaranteed affordable coverage.
- Achieving universal healthcare coverage— whether it be through a single payer system, a dual system, or otherwise – so that we can ensure everyone is able to see a provider when it will do the most good and will deliver healthcare in the most affordable, effective way possible.
Higher Education
- Increase funding for Pell Grant scholarships and the Federal Perkins Loan program to ensure education is affordable for all Texans.
- Broaden educational opportunities for Texans beyond a traditional 4 year college by improving access to community colleges, trade schools, and nanodegrees.
- Allow Texans who commit to working in in-demand fields and in underserved communities the chance to graduate debt free.
- Control the pace of inflation within institutions of higher learning by using the federal government’s leverage through its grants, loans and research spending to demand affordability from universities.
You're talking about state level solutions, but he's not running for a state level position. A senator deals with federal lobbyists, not state lobbyists, and there is very little that a senator can do "especially in texas" now that earmarks have been banned. I don't think the kind of thing you're talking about is even legally possible - it's the kind of work a governor would do, not a senator.2022/24, let's get this his Black women video.
Lip service. I first found out about the prison pipeline in 2009. In GA, it was based on the test scores in 3rd grade. They aren't ending it. Too many lobbyist on the state level. It's going to take the people to end that and make it a focus point. Lobbyists and special interest groups are what is running the party. I been saying this for years. If you can't address that, then you just speaking shyt to make people feel good.
What I want to hear is him tell Black women that we will create a special interest groups and teams dedicated to finding the best solutions for Black women and child birth especially in Texas.
I know how shyt really moves. I know when a nikka for real and really full of shyt. He's full of shyt.
If you want changes, got to get them with money, investment and equity. As a senator, representative, state or national, you know how you can give power to special interests group. Even those who want to win in GA did it all of the time and when they just wanted votes, gave lip service.
Black people getting gamed. Beto ain't got a Black agenda. He just has Black talking points. If you not gonna yield power to a Black special interest group to protect Blacks and speak for Blacks when harmed by race soliders, you not doing nothing for Blacks. Just keep it real. Power yields, it don't come in no damn soundbite
Can you even begin to explain what you mean by this?Lip service. I first found out about the prison pipeline in 2009. In GA, it was based on the test scores in 3rd grade. They aren't ending it.
I was speaking on my experiences dealing with the governor race. The facts remain, just at a larger level.You're talking about state level solutions, but he's not running for a state level position. A senator deals with federal lobbyists, not state lobbyists, and there is very little that a senator can do "especially in texas" now that earmarks have been banned. I don't think the kind of thing you're talking about is even legally possible - it's the kind of work a governor would do, not a senator.
And who has ever officially "yielded power to a special interest group" of any race? You call Ted Cruz a White Supremacist - does that mean he has created a special White special interest group and yielded power to it? Or is is actually possible to support the interests of a group of people without creating a "special interest group" with their name on it? In fact, creating a special "Black special interest group" sounds way more like meaningless lip service than any of the actual policies O'Rouke has proposed. What could a "Black special interest group" created by a single senator do at the federal level? It would be totally powerless. Senators don't create policy by themselves.
You've made up this weird standard that no one would meet and that wouldn't even be helpful if they did meet it, and then are using that arbitrary standard to encourage people not to vote for the opponent of a goblin like Ted Cruz.
Then, if Black turnout stays low and Cruz wins, you'll say something like, "See, I told you so."
Can you even begin to explain what you mean by this?
