We keep hearing those on the Left asserting systemic Racism in the USA.

I have already pointed out my agreement, but not in the way they propose.

...There IS a "Democrat plantation" mentality.

...My argument, and that of my people who are labeled and smeared by Democrats and Progressives as "race traitors" is that we are being subjected to a new form of racism, which treats us like "children." Unruly, needy, wayward, and not very smart children at that...

...The prejudice of low expectations.

And here we have two recent examples of this "leftist" idea of Black Americans:



and...



Here Candace Owens pointing out a TRUTH:



Our skin color does not define us as individuals NOR as a group. It is an immutable characteristic of our segment of Humanity, but that is all it should be viewed as.

IMO some of our non-Black "allies" on the Left need to rethink their ideas on what does and does not constitute Racism...and stop practicing it themselves.

Why is it that Trump supporters can't have a discussion about race without making a reference to slaves on plantations? We're the racist ones? :rolleyes:

Minorities are rational actors that know what's in their best interest and they overwhelmingly reject Trumpism and Republicans. Your attempt to demean them by implying they're mindless slaves who do what they're told isn't winning any of them over, so please keep it up.

Once again a case of projection and accusing others of what they themselves are guilty of that the left has established a track record of doing.
Why are we even listening to these people?

Fair point. Why do we listen to people claiming systemic racism?
 
The BLM protest is probably one of the biggest movements toward greater justice for Blacks. Trump and conservatives oppose it and instead support the police.

They create the false dichotomy that you either support the police or you support the "Marxists." Racists have been accusing Blacks fighting for civil rights of being communists/socialists/Marxists since MLK.

Why not listen to people and believe them? Do you live in their communities? Have you been in their skin?

It seems irrational to assume millions of people are delusional.

Look in the Election Forums. Republicans are now constantly suing in court to restrict our voting rights. The Democrats are constantly passing legislation expanding/protecting our voting rights.

The GOP is busy every day now suppressing/depressing the voting rights of African-Americans in states such as Georgia, Texas, and Talabama.
 
Remember: with Trumpism, every allegation is a thinly veiled admission.

You're talking about Biden, right? That we should listen to the racist things he's said.

I lean a different direction and look to the actions. Trump has done more in four years than Clinton and Obama did in 16. That's why so many black men of influence are advocating for Trump.

Fact Check: True:
Under Trump, black prison rate lowest in 31 years, Hispanics down 24%

When I first met Jared, we were college students and he owned $10 million worth of residential rental properties in Somerville based on money he got from his dad.
More Black people should try that. https://t.co/z13KwvXUKf
