Political Discussion
It's pathetic that it's only 4. That's 0.9% of the House Republicans that are black. Blacks make up 14.6% of America. The Republicans need to put at least 28 more blacks into House seats to make their side of the House representative of what America actually looks like. But I guess that won't happen for as long as Republicans continue gerrymandering, disenfranchisng and otherwise screwing blacks over. Here's your opportunity to fix some of that if you actually want any credibility. |
| I can't believe how disgusting this thread is. As if black people aren't allowed to choose their political party. Do you people even hear yourselves? And you call others racist? JFC. |
DP. Wow, the irony. It is, indeed, you. You repulse people and this thread is exhibit A. |
No, it’s you. Enjoy your face-eating leopard. [NP] |

Don’t forget the bank fraud conviction, really a great guy |
Well, it comes from the top down- "You ain't black.." as Biden once said |
| Boring |
Why do leftists only see color? |
And how surprised Biden was that Obama was articulate, clean and well-dressed
|
Not the comeback you think it is. We don't "only see color." But we do recognize the REALITY that America is an ethnically and culturally diverse nation, and we represent it as such - as opposed to the GOP, which is 99% homogenous white culture. The question is, why don't Republicans represent the REAL America? |
Irony? Seems you don't understand the definition of irony. You're "repulsed" by people calling out how bad your party actually is? For the last 20+ years your party has had no productive platform whatsoever. It's all been about disenfranchising/attacking/otherwise screwing over minorities, opposing any measure of progress for the sole sake of reactionary "own the libs" idiocy, trying to gut the social safety net, giving billionaires massive handouts while screwing over the working class, rolling back regulations that protect consumers, protect workers, protect the environment, and trying to gut revenue and cut programs and acting like we can operate as if it were 1780, which would make us a third-world nation by today's standards. That's the kind of leopards-eating-faces reality that you need to own up to and acknowledge, rather than clinging to your false denial and your performative acting "repulsed." Speaking the truth is somehow "ironic" or "repulsive?" No, again, it's not us, it's you. |

Why did the guy nominating Donalds bring up Martin Luther King Jr. In his speech? |
Don’t kid yourself that Democrats represent the “real” America either. The entire Democratic power structure from donors to lobbyists to staffers to consultants to PAC directors is white. Rare black tokens in places of visibility who answer to white people and everyone else Black acting as lowly foot soldiers do not representation make. Democrats look good on diversity only in comparison to Republicans. We have TWO white-dominated parties that exploit racial minorities, especially Black people, in this country. |
