Re: Trump Nomination Keeps Racial Status Quo
Hey Albion--Why bother to go deeper when the truth is systematically denied, and fictitious statements are put in their place?

Re: Trump Nomination Keeps Racial Status Quo
RK--LOL! All information given you, which often includes amazing depth, is either ignored by you or termed "fake news, blind hatred, or there is some ridiculous post about Neomarxists.
Taking that all into consideration, Albion's post seems to be right on the mark.

Typically, you have seen (I'll assume honestly) what you want to see, not what was offered. It was not voter suppression I questioned, it was the assumptions made about black people.

This is an excellent example of why your posts are worthless wastes of time for yourself and any unfortunate who reads them. Remember Emily Litella, as portrayed by Gilda Radner on the old Sarturday Night Live? You sound and act just like her, ranting about something you don't understand. It doesn't matter how many times this happens, you keep doing it and think it's o.k. It's funny for the first couple times, then it isn't. Depart, troll.
I do not go to TV characters to find answers. I think, I reason and then I decide. Based on that, no matter what your comedic character says or how she says it, the statement under discussion is disgustingly racist for the reasons stated.
If you want to dispute my thinking, try something deeper than citing a TV character or typing "depart, troll" - that is offensively shallow. An alternate might be "discussion".

The above is a disgusting, racist comment. It assumes that while white people a fully capable of taking care on their ID requirements, black people are to stupid to do the same thing.
Isn't it time to start thinking about "Americans", not dividing us up into various "victim" groups in need of special treatment due to their assumed lack of abilities?
The original post's factual accuracy is disgusting?
