Agreed. His comments about dividing the country with racial politics and class warfare were directed equally to the Democratic and Republican Parties. And media outlets do the same thing to blast out advertising to their target markets.

The debate about election laws and election fraud is a good example. Democratic Politicians and the leftwing media unjustly accuse Republican legislatures of passing laws to suppress the black vote. And Republican Politicians and the rightwing media unjustly accuse predominately black Democratic counties of massive election fraud.

it is somewhat strange that things don't ever add up to anything in those counties, not to the number of registered voters, not to the number of mail out ballots, not to machine counts, you name it and it doesn't add up

and that they do belligerently thwart poll watchers

who was the white guy who went off the rails ranting that the poor canvassing board member who wanted things to add up was going to be known forever as worse than bull connor?

it was racist you see to want things to make sense

somewhere along the way people forgot the phrase

When in Rome, do as the Romans do.

If I moved to Japan and tried to conduct myself and my business the way I do here in the US I would not be successful in the least. It's a different culture with different rules, and by virtue of that, it's my job to adapt to it if I wish to be successful and thrive there. Same thing applies to the business environment in the US or anywhere else in the world.

I haven’t seen anyone accuse the AA community of massive fraud. Dominion, Governors, SOS’s, Judges, MSM and Social media, yes.

If you want a real laugh, look up the number of africans who hate blacks. They hate the hell out of each other.

Hell, look at the number of blacks who hate blacks.

Then to juxtapose, look at the whites who hate whites: all a bunch of whiny, psychopathic edgelords.

They hold each other back because they dislike whites so much they can't stand it when they see one of their own embrace it, even if it leads to that persons' success and rise from poverty.

Yep. For decades after de-segregation, ( not so much now ) any Black student wanting to study hard, raise his or her hand in class, was accused of "acting White", meaning wanting to get an education and the Blacks would often beat the crap out of and ostracize another Black trying to better oneself through education.


Now, was that reality or racism to say that? I can tell you what the MSM would call it and they would be deniers of reality.


Every study ever done that I'm aware of, came to the same basic conclusion. In Black/ African/ Caribbean culture, light skinned Blacks discriminated against dark skin Blacks. So yeah, Blacks discriminate amongst themselves. It's a fact but is one allowed to say it?

Among African Americans, skin tone is an important physical characteristic that creates divisions in the community and affects quality of life. Like gender, a person’s skin tone is a visible physical trait that others immediately notice during social interactions and use to form judgments (

Maddox & Gray, 2002

). Throughout American history, variations in skin tone have contributed to socioeconomic status (SES) differences among African Americans (

Herring, Keith, & Horton, 2004

;

Keith & Herring, 1991

).



Furthermore, African Americans use skin tone variations to distinguish themselves from each other, reflecting social status hierarchies (

Celious & Oyserman, 2001

;

Hill, 2002b

). Given the importance of gender in colorism (e.g.

Hunter, 2002

), it is possible that African American men could be affected by skin tone bias in ways that are not yet clearly understood. Importantly, reflecting different social prescriptions of masculinity, African American men’s perceptions of skin tone discrimination may vary across social classes. In this paper, we explored this possibility for men in their perceptions of skin tone discrimination from both within and outside of their racial group.

Furthermore, to maintain their elite status and privileges, lighter-skinned men engaged in social practices to exclude darker-skinned Blacks from entering their social circles; these practices included the “Paper Bag Test,” (which banned Blacks from joining fraternities if their skin tones were darker than a brown paper bag), the “Comb test,” (which banned Blacks with coarse, nappy African hair if combs could not glide through it) and the “Blue veins” society (which banned Blacks whose skin tones were too dark to see the blue veins on their arms) (

Bond & Cash, 1992

). These findings consistently indicated that light skin tone resulted in clear social and economic advantages.

I wonder if they teach this in Critical Race Theory or is it solely about how Whites discriminate? If we are going to teach truth and reality, this should be a part of any discussion on race but I'll bet it it isn't. Today's discussion suggest that only Whites discriminate and it simply is not true.

Bruh, one of my on/off stripper gals I'm tangled with is this tall ebony amazon gal up in Indy. Raised single by her black dad, who was a real stand up guy. Absolutely H-A-T-E-S black dudes, and wants to skin alive any light skinned black guy she sees that isn't Prince. She's funny as hell.

my mother was telling me about the "paper bag test" that was used on black public school teachers. they were holding a party at some place in new orleans. showed how racists blacks can be.


one thing tho, there is a difference between bigotry and racism. the two are not mutually inclusive.

splc is not a valid source given their predisposition of making fake/false claims on people and organizations.
