    I am really looking forward to the democratic primary & I can’t wait to hear their answers to race related questions.

    Here are my top 3 questions...

    All lives matter or black lives matter?

    Should we pay reparations to the family of slaves?

    Do you support ICE ?

    I don’t believe the first question is overly important, but I do believe it says a lot about the candidate.

    Unfortunately, the mainstream media is gonna be tossin' slow pitch softballs...
    We will have to rely on the various extremist factions in the DP to throw the 100 MPH fastballs.

    True but I do remember the question do all lives matter or do black lives matter in the 2016
    Debates.

    The left seems to be fully behind black lives matter in 2020.

    In 2016, Hillary & Bernie both said all lives matter. Bernie is now onboard with black lives matter & there is not 1 Democrat running who has the balls to say all lives matter.

    I don’t think saying black lives matter over all lives matter will cost them more votes than they will gain.

    Liz Warren is already supporting reperations & considering only 26% of the people support it, I see this as a huge obstacle for the dems & I hope the right pushes this issue in election adds.

    Reparations is a joke. If anyone should pay reparations, it should be the Democrat party, not us who's ancestors fought to free the slaves.

    By the way, how much in reparations is due to the wealthy black athletes, movie stars, pop artists and others who live above the median income? Now that would be a tax on the poor to pay the wealthy. Talk about trickle up economics!

    Do blacks who came after 1865 get some? Do people who's ancestors came after 1865 also have to pay? The logistics of such a law would be incomprehensible. Not to mention unconstitutional stealing of money from one group to subsidize another.

    Do YOU ask questions concerning Trump? Ever hear him answer any serious question honestly?

    With so many candidates the media is only a bit player. The liberals will be eating their own online and through ads. Whichever clown makes it through the process will either be so bleached and middle of the road or so radical they can't win the general. Either way, 2020 isn't a good year for any real issues, its all about drama and who the DNC is or isn't...

    Yes.

    Yes.


    Not sure how that pertains to the questions that will be asked during the democratic candidate debates.

    I'm sure the Republicans will use reparations as a wedge issue. And when Black people say "Black Lives Matter" they aren't putting other people's race down. They are just saying, "My life matters just as much as anyone else's life". So, of course All Lives Matter.
    That's all they are saying.

    No, according to the black community & the MSM saying “all lives matter” is racist.

    https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.usatoday.com/amp/87025190

    Look at Buttigieg He just apologized for saying all Lives matter in 2015.

    https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.ny...tics/pete-buttigieg-all-lives-matter.amp.html

    Anyone who does not have the balls to say
    All lives matter is a total coward.

    I don’t want a coward running our country.

    Do you see how it is true that Obama was the worst President in USA, history, for the darkskinned-Black citizens of this nation?

    Will we ever create a strategy for publicly-exposing BRICs nations? I thought Trump would, but he was spooked too like Obama & Bush43?

    Do we owe Black people for their, cottonpicking skillset, which all alone is in fact directly responsible for making America great and shaping her up to be the planet's most-feared nation to this day?

    That's right. To say all lives matters does mock and belittle and marginalize the effects of horrid, Racism, which Black citizens exclusively absorb from all levels of USA police agencies.


    I don't want anyone running our country who is too, racist, to admit the truth about American culture. That America does illegally police Black people, differently, than it legally polices the rest of us USA citizens.

    America cheats in order to compete against, Black citizens, but then America quickly sends Black citizens to prison whenever they are caught cheating our society ---which is allowed to cheat them--- yes cheat them out of their Freedom and their Equal Access and especially their Equal Protection of the Laws.

    Yes, and hell yes! To those 2 questions.

    The US Slave Trade hath an everlasting, legacy, and it is called White Privilege as it exists 1619-2019. 400yrs. If you are White and living in America > 5 months at anytime after, 15apr1619, then yes you owe and your family owes.

    I have slave owners in my lineage as well as union soldiers who fought in the Civil War (actually a doctor) and I also have 3 to 5% African American in my blood according to my DNA. So do I owe or am I owed?

    Reflect on the life you live. Then ask yourself... Has our White racist society treated me like, I am a White man, or a Black man?

    No, I cannot answer for you. But, you can answer the question for you.

    And once you ask yourself the question, then honestly answer it; you will automatically know if you are owed or if you owe big time!

    Now, go. Then ask yourself... "Has our White racist society treated me like, I am a White man, or a Black man?"

    I'm of the belief that we have the most open accepting society in the world. People aren't owed anything for transgressions against their ancestors and people aren't required to pay for the sins of their fathers or other people's fathers.

    If anyone need pay reparations it's the Democrat Party for their support for slavery and segregation and Jim Crow.

    So, you had an African-American great great Grandma? How did that happen?
    P.S. You have more African genes than Elizabeth Warren has Native American genes!

    Same way as how there would not even be a, Normandy, if it weren't for Black slaves making America great with that cottonpicking skillset of theirs.
