No answer here?

You seem to be missing the historical context of racism towards blacks in particular. There is a reasonable sensitivity to the far right's penchant for reminiscing about "the good ole days". Those days weren't so great for some...
You're well conditioned, I'll give you that.
This is liberal gobblygook.
Thinking there were things that were better before we fricked some things up =/= thinking everything in 1950 was worth going back to. That's just Democratic fear rhetoric talking.
And it's even dumber when you consider that a core talking point on the left economically speaking ABSOLUTELY acts like things were sooooooooo much better in those same fricking years! They routinely use it to argue about how "you could raise a family one one income back then blah blah blah".
You just don't put that together with "hoping Jim Crow comes back" like you do when a conservative talks about the past.

Irrelevant though because it doesn't matter. You're gonna vote skin color.

Why are women treated lightly in the system vs men? Whe aren't y'all protesting this?
If y'all were actually consistence on "equality" you would be. It's faaar more glaring than black/white

To varying degrees, minorities favor the left. Even Asians who share education and income similar to whites. You refuse to look inward as to why that might be and instead choose to attack blacks. This is exactly the sort of behavior that would prevent me from aligning myself with the likes of you.

The system highly favors those who can hire well connected attorneys.

The glaring discrepancies are based on sex, not race. But you rarely hear about that

But your point is ridiculously fallacious. The notion that bringing attention to one issue or cause implies that you don't care or accept other issues is silly and low-rent.

Generally supported by the factual reality of black voting patterns.

Interestingly, my views on race in politics are worse in 2018......but a LOT than they were in 1998. Why you might ask?
Because I realized based on ACTIONS that the words coming out of the mouths of my black friends and acquaintances largely didn't matter. In the end, I was white. End of story.
I saw this because if a negative thing happened in the world where racism was accused, they very nearly 100% believed it.......EVERY time if a black person they didn't even know made the accusation.
It told me that bottom line, the only thing protecting me from them calling me a racist was them knowing me personally. Otherwise, they'd basically believe ANY black person over me just like they do in all other cases.
Look inward and you know what I just typed is true. You've done it on this board.
You need basically zero evidence to believe a black person crying racism against a white person. And, anyone that says, "um, evidence please"........your response.........as with almost all other blacks is the same....
"What......are you saying racism doesn't exist!!!"
Same shite. ALL the time.

I'm just curious why you folks aren't up in arms about the blatant sex inequality of the system. It's far more agregious than racial disparity.
The answer is cultural programming, and the inability to look beyond or challenge the status quo on "protected" issues

The fact that minorities so readily cede our individual voting power on the basis of race alone the overwhelming majority of the time is adequate grounds for attack, I'm sorry.
It's absurd that this is the status quo, especially considering how eclectic minority backgrounds have become.

Hillary and liberals, in general.. have already dehumanized us.
In their minds, we are not people, we are just obstacles that are preventing them from achieving a socialist utopia.. ala the ussr of yesteryear.. or Venezuela.
The day the right starts to mass dehumanize people on the left, also.. is the day that we start seeing armed battles in the streets.

You always try to use Whataboutism
Liberals have just gone with that because so many of their paradigms don't actually stand up to scrutiny. IE.........the blunt reality is......."if X is true then so must be Y so why isn't Y true" is a perfectly valid point.
Liberals just don't like it.

Less than 1% of people in prison for a weed charge are there for possession alone.
99% are there with more serious charges on top of the weed.
But continue with the myth

The answer is based on the very real historical context of racial inequality in this country. Blacks did not have equal rights under the law until the 1960s and still face unequal treatment under the law to this day.
FIFY. When you dare to think it really isn't that hard.

Except he isn't doing that.
So, your "everything is about skin color" problem is rearing its head again.
Roger's point is........perhaps the problem you've identified isn't driven primarily by race. Have you considered that possibility?
Nah

Yup. If you vote 96-98% the same way regardless of the election............you are demonstrating that you aren't voting for ideological reasons.
I mean, one would hope that blacks don't actually think 98% of them think alike.

Btw, if the dems win the mid-terms will you shoop this instead of Django for your avatar? You can pick my avatar.
