People don't have debates on this site... they spin "one liner pot shots"...
Each statement is suitable for "debate" ... but your comment of claiming inability to have intellectual honest conversation, is nothing more than a pot shot at the thread, because you have not debated a single statement.
The word "DEBATE:
Essential Meaning of debate
: a discussion between people in which they express different opinions about something
We are having ' a discussion between people in which they express different opinion about something"
You critique the statement of plantation owners with an erroneous inference, as its evident that you don't know the history of politics and how the Republicans took up the agenda of the former Dixiecrats. The Former Dixiecrats were the descendent of Confederate Ideologist, and they now conduct that agenda within the Republican's Ranks. You could probably learn some things to read the Confederate Preamble and the Confederate Constitution, to grasp what you are caught up in. but that is not likely that you'd invest in that level of learning.
-First off you should hold your assumptions about peoples education level to yourself, as you didn't know that I am a history major, so your comment on it not being likely that I would invest in that level of education is not only patently false but also shows again the attacking of character that you can't seem to get out of.
-Secondly, the presence of a confederate agenda in the modern Republican ranks isn't a substantial reality, it would be the equivalent of saying modern democrats are communist. The political ideology of the Confederacy is something that is literally impossible with the modern structure of the nation and could be only be achieve through civil war.
-Martin Luther King was a republican after the change in parties, the most prolific civil rights leader America has seen.
As to the 70 million who backed Trump and Republicanism; they Ignore and tried to Down Play everything of the damages that have been done, including the attempted Coup d'etat, among the many other things that were done which damaged America, all the way to the current day, delusional acts by Republicans to play games with the nations ability to pay its bills. yet, you guys have the audacity to talk about "responsibility", "values", and "ethnics" ... It's a pure insult to the entire nation.
Through my observations the events of January 6th are despicable yet to say its Coup d'etat is a stretch. In no way does it appear to be a coordinated attack. It looks like a rambunctious crowd overcame inadequate security and chaos ensued. People stormed the capital like idiots and people died and got hurt. It's not a Coup d'etat because in no way would they have the mean to change anything. Even if they got into the building and tried to force them to change their votes, it would have any precedence and would mean nothing, not to mention that the Army would be there is minutes flat to kill everyone inside.
-While a terrible moment in history you cant attach that event to all people who believe in republican ideas, or it would only be fair to attach slavery to the democrats.
Things you guys over-look, is black people have a long history of experiencing, knowing and being subjugated by the acts of (some) white people, while (some) white people in the general public gloss over everything.
Many expect slap stick put down commentary to cut your pathway, while relying on wealthy men of white nationalism to guide, lead and deal with the concerns of the nation, while they vote for the "loudest mouth" that pushing the most attack belligerence".
You seem hellbent on the idea that all republicans are white nationalist. That would the equivalent of saying all democrats are antifa. It's almost like the current democratic president has said in referencing to the busing of students in the 1970s that he does not want his kids growing up in a 'racial jungle'. He also said “You got the first mainstream African American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that’s a storybook, man.” (referring to Obama).
Also saying “Unlike the African-American community, with notable exceptions, the Latino community is an incredibly diverse community with incredibly diverse attitudes about different things.”
Also saying “If you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you 'ain’t Black,”
The facts are that under Trump, there was record low black unemployment, increased employment and income , and the platinum plan that provided half a trillion to black communities. The fact is that the standard of black lives increased under Trump.
