Historians have a word for Germans who joined the Nazi party, not because they hated Jews, but out of a hope for restored patriotism, or a sense of economic anxiety, or a hope to preserve their religious values, or dislike of their opponents, or raw political opportunism, or convenience, or ignorance, or greed. That word is "Nazi."
Historians study their motives, but there is a broad understanding: their motives don’t exonerate them.

@JuliusGoat Excellent words, something we evryone should consider, whether they voted for Biden, a man who started his political career by being pro-segregation and faught to keep segregation alive right up until it started costing him votes... or Trump, someone who was brutal on immigration (not exactly racist but I cant think of anything racist he did, maybe someone has a better example?).... Either way, most of this nation is a bit too close to supporting the wrong people it seems.
Biden fought to keep segregation alive? Biden wasn’t even in the Senate until ‘72. Do you have a source for this claim?
Tons, it was his his whole platform when he started as an elected official. In hisnown words he was trying to prevent a "racial jungle" so hisnwhite kids woukdnt have to go to school with black kids.
Note i didnt read this article, i just know the quotes and seen the videos of him campaigning for pro segregation.
Way back in 1977, he said that forced busing to desegregate schools would cause his children to “grow up in a racial jungle.”

Ooo. OK forgot about this stuff. I also remembered the mandatory minimum sentencing for crack cocaine issue. That was pretty racist as well.
Most racist history of any president in my life time, even trump, and trump was pretty awful so thats quite a comparison.
The difference with Trump is that I don’t think he’s really come around to being any less racist than he was in the 70s. Even though Biden might not necessarily have publicly atoned for his attitudes, I’m pretty sure he’s evolved. Trump, not so much.
I thinknthats way off base.. he was consistently racist right until.itncost him votes. Even now its so transparent he is picking minorities simlly for the votes due tomthe fact that he will pick any minority, even one with bad records (like harris) just to get the minority vote. Yet he still keeps groping women and making low key racist comments...
Dude hasnt changed a bit and is clesrly just playing the game.
Talking about Bidens groping record without comparing it to trumps, is changing the subject isn’t it? I thought the contest was about who’s more racist.
That aside, Biden seems to get along pretty well with black leaders. If he is a racist, as you suggest, then why do you suppose black leaders are mostly repelled by Trump?
I tend to lump sexism against women as the same general category as racism. In both cases you are abusing a challenged class of people.
And sure, trump doesnt have a grest record in either of those situations either. But biden being racist and groping openly and with countless examples outweights trump who at least mostly has a record of accusations which doesnt give him a pass but its certainly harder to accertain the reality of his incidents.
Because he is a republican, and most black leaders tend to lean democrat. So thry will largely play by party lines... plus as we pointed out he is racist, maybe not on bidens level, but racist. Those two combined will make a strong repulsive vibe for blacks and democrwts in general.
So this is where I say “right on, vote your conscience”🤙
Well thats a no brainer, thankfully we have lots of choices other thsn those two last election and next.
>Trump is abnormally successful with black voters for a Republican candidate
>Trump is abnormally unsuccessful with black politicians for a Republican candidate
I don't know, that sounds less of a Trump problem and more of a problem with black politicians not being aligned with the interests of black voters.
8 percent. Again, do thy will is the whole of the law. Vote.
>Do thy will is the whole of the law.
>Vote.
Pick one. You can either champion militant libertarianism or endorse a system specifically designed to legitimize an illegitimate, traitorious government.
@freemo @JuliusGoat
As far as racism and sexism, that’s a whole other long conversation I don’t have the time or energy for.
And, you’ve changed the subject again. Regardless of whether you think Trump has any appearance of racism,  why is it DO YOU think, that black leaders are mostly repelled by Trump?
