    Obama never publicly supported them like Trump and racist conservative confederate state whites.


    Trump and racist conservative confederate state whites love the traitors who killed US troops to keep black people as slaves.Killing US troops is ok to y'all if the reason is to have black people as slaves.

    That's true. We would probably be better off if Congress was full of regular people from different walks of life as opposed to career politicians. They need be qualified though. They can't support & defend the Constitution if they don't understand it.

    The irony of a right winger claiming democrats are dumb by making the argument that liberals are really southern conservatives is probably the funniest thing I’ve seen today.

    This guy Mercor is really trying to make the argument that southerners are gay loving integrationists and northerners are Dixie loving Jim Crow Supporters. It’s just so dumb. Anybody who who lives in America knows this country is divided ideologically by northern liberals and southern conservatives.

    Yes , I agree
    Back to the point of this thread
    I think to vote you should be able to at least name the three branches
    Back in the day in Chicago people would look for all the Irish names and just vote for them

    Getting Dumber Everyday and Proud of It

    Some of my parents’ worse fears have come true for our public schools. Indeed, many school officials seem intent on replicating past failures while opposing the testing that exposes those failures.

    Some have denounced "meritocracy" as racist while others, including New York congressman, have recently attacked standardized tests as racist.

    At the same time, officials are driving top-performing students from their systems in Boston, New York and other cities where advanced programs are being shut down or suspended.

    The problem with objective and standardized testing is precisely that it is objective and standardized on performance.

    The top spending public school districts are also some of the worst-performing school districts. New York topped the per capita spending at $24,040 per kid. Washington, D.C. is close at $22,759. Baltimore is often ranked in the top three per capita spending districts.

    According to a 2019 study, over half of the New York City public school kids cannot handle basic math or English.

    On tests, Asian kids show a 74.4 percent proficiency in math with a 66.6 proficiency for whites, a 33.2 percent proficiency for Hispanics, and a 28.2 percent proficiency for African Americans.

    Thus, more than two-thirds of African American kids were not able to handle basic math in a school system with one of the highest per capita expenditures for students in the country.

    In Washington, with the highest per capita spending on students, education officials "celebrated" a small improvement of scores in 2019. However, the scores would make most people cringe. Only 21.1 percent of Black students were proficient in math (as opposed to 78.8 percent for white students).

    As for the racial disparities in test performances, I hate to say it, but at least some of that's a cultural difference. It's been more than a decade since my stint in the urban school, but when I was there it was all-too-common among African-American students for being smart to be looked at as bad. I even knew kids who deliberately kept themselves from getting better than D grades because they didn't want to be called "oreos" (i.e., black on the outside, white in the middle). Didn't see that attitude with white and Asian students. My current school has a significant African immigrant population, and I don't see that attitude from the born-in-Africa families, either.

    IF white conservatives have an IQ of 50 then that means black libtards have an IQ of around 25 or maybe even as low as 18. :D

  8. Southern racists transitioned from the Democratic Party to the Republican Party beginning in the 1960's when Barry Goldwater opposed the Civil Rights Act. The Republican Party had been aligned with big business since the 1870's, but there's definitely a growing divide in that alliance within the party. Trump has a mixed record (gave them tax cuts, but was also pro-tariff, anti-immigration). This is in contrast to the Bush/McConnell wing of the party which is pretty much aligned with big business on every issue. Still, the most anti-big business voting block is and has always been in the Democratic Party whether it be Bernie Sanders or William Jennings Bryant wings.

    Contributions of Black Americans

    I think this would be a wonderful opportunity to pause for a moment and give thanks for the great contributions the Black community has made to society.

    Their peaceful and generous nature make them ideal neighbors, lending testimony to their exceptional family values and parenting skills unrivaled by any other culture. Their commitment to academic excellence enriches our schools and serves as an example to all who hope to achieve prominence as a people.

    Real estate values are fueled by the mix of Blacks into an area due to their caring and respectful nature for these communities, an example of all they have achieved through their enthusiasm for self-improvement by hard work and a self-reliant can-do culture of integrity and honor. Without their industrious and creative drive, we would be poorer as a nation. God bless them all!
