I didn't like it when Bush Jr said that and I don't like it when you say it. Why? Because only simple minded people thing the world must only be broken down into black or white. We don't live in a binary world. In fact, the world is far more complex and nuanced. It's also why I am neither a Democrat nor a Republican. They are becoming more polarized and less rational. Anyone who gives you only a binary choice is engaging in polemics and hyperbole. It is a sign of hysteria and designed to divide, not to unite or reconcile.
Truly thoughtful people who are trying to actually solve problems understand that we have a range of choices, far more than two. There is no denying that bad things happened in this country a long time ago, but we've come a long way. No black people are picking cotton, as in the picture you posted, unless they actually want to do that. More than likely, the people picking cotton are my own people, the Latin Americans. So your attempt at once again vilifying both corporations and the white people is falling on deaf ears only because it is simply not a true characterization. Rather, it is a false narrative and does not help to make this world a better place.
It is now abundantly clear that none of this is about black people. They are being used to achieve a larger goal. None of you actually care about black people. Otherwise, you wouldn't be encouraging them to engaged in mass protests that spread COVID infections among them, while also understanding that they are two times more likely to die of COVID than other races. So your party is quite literally responsible for many deaths of black people as a result of these riots and the aftermath of them. But that's not new either, is it? The Democrats are responsible for slavery in this country, for creating the KKK, for Jim Crow, for 19 of 20 of the most violent cities in this country, for the systematic impoverishment of black people. In point of fact, the data tells us the Democrats are the worst people to represent black people. But you have them fooled. Meanwhile, the only thing Trump did to black people was bring them the lowest black unemployment in their history. These are all facts that are impossible to refute. |
