    Ads are not all inclusive. Nowadays, ads are politically correct more than anything else. Nobody wants their business boycotted or badmouthed or torched or ransacked because its perceived to be racist.

    I'm sorry that black people being on television upsets you so much. Perhaps you should just throw away your tv.

    Judging by the way blacks are portrayed in commercials, they don’t seem to have a problem at all. They have nice houses, cars and families. Except for the women, they’re not overweight, they dress nice, have good jobs and they own belts. So why are they upset?

    It's not clear that you have a lot of confidence in our 244 yr and counting radical experiment in self-rule. The liars have loud national microphones but I think they are lying about their numbers, they aren't the majority, but, we'll see.

    As for getting to 270, the Red States will get him to 260, then he has to take one of the toss-up states, either PA or WI will do the trick.

    [​IMG]

    Democrats, similarly, Blue States will get them to 248, from there they need BOTH of the toss up states.

    The nice thing about having Trump at the top of the ticket is that we all know full well that he will be fighting with everything he has until the polls close, or he hits 270.

    That's about all we can ask for.

    The people who want to erase everything white because of racism and slavery are the first people to sign up for African studies courses. I guess they want to know all about the origins of slavery and oppressive regimes.

    Since I don't know any Islamists, I'll say again - Only in your fevered imagination. Your rant is as far removed from reality as the jihadists you obsess over.

    you have to understand that i'm not being pessimistic, i'm just playing the odds. we start with the simple fact that a full half of the electorate is going to be of sub-par intellect. while these people may be quite capable of wiping their own bums, filling out forms (with a little help) and even being "technicians", they lack the intellectual curiosity to look beyond the superficial. next we have those of "average" intellect. best case scenario is that half of these people may recognize the benefit of individual responsibility, but history shows us that the majority will actually opt for the path of least resistance and follow the crowd. they are told the crowd denies responsibility, so we lose in that group too. finally we have those of above average intelligence. you might think that this group would realize the benefits of investing in the individual instead of the collective, but the human tendency toward self-delusion and self-righteousness dilutes that pool as well.

    so what do those odds tell you? even if chance should give us a small amount of the intellectually challenged, the losses in both other categories ensure a slow decline into collectivism, banality and catering to the least common denominator.

    No it doesn't. Unless you wear skinny jeans, hipster glasses and become inconsolable if you hear the wrong pronoun.

    I’m betting all photos of you show you with your head conveniently in the sand, oblivious to the obvious which gives you the uneducated ability to say it’s my imagination.

    Of course, systemic racism isn’t industry specific
