    Are you going to exclude a black doctor because he doesn't meet your criteria?

    We see thread after thread on this board from right-wing posters on this board who spend inordinate amounts of time demonizing black Americans
    because of the 5% of black Americans who are involved in violent crime. Never once will they mention that you are far more likely to have your life
    saved by a black medical team than have it taken by a black criminal. That's the mindset. Judge a race by it's worst members (and a small percentage at that).

    So it's not surprising to those same people claiming that this Presidential intern photo only represents "purely merit".

    Well, purely as a numbers game the Democrats have done a little better
    as far as average GDP, Job creation, and National Debt. So that would be better for White voters.

    If you're for Women's rights regarding abortion - then the Democrats have been a better choice for white voters.

    If you're concerned about the environment and preserving habitat for wildlife, then the Democrats have been a bit better at championing those issues.

    If you think that the oil industry has too much of a monopoly on world energy, then the Democrats have been a bit better at championing alternative energy - that
    benefits white voters.

    THAT'S why a white American voter might vote more for Democrats than Republicans.

    You can pretend that race issues are the only motivating factors for voting for Democrats, but that is a view that only people overly concerned with race would take.

    Oh so you're going to select only a black doctor no matter his credentials just because he's black so he can fulfill your diversity quotient
    to do open heart surgery on your kid? You could care less about experience, the doctor has to be black?
    Try selling that to some other leftist cuz you ain't sellin it here.

    You going to select people because of their color instead of their credentials and point your finger at others for being racist?
    Sounds about right for the left.

    You still pushing they fake narrative? Nobody's buying it, are they.
    You don't get to make actual crime statistics by race just evaporate or ignore them just because a black American might save your life.

    The tables have turned: Those CONSERVATIVE Democrats of yesterday are now the CONSERVATIVE Republicans of today.

    Larry Elders is a shameful grifter when he echoes the delusions of white supremacists.

    Republicans are not turning people away for their ethnicity.

    See that's the problem - if race REALLY didn't matter to you, you wouldn't categorize crime by race - it would be more by economic status. But you need
    to demonize black Americans, so that's an easy way to go about it - never mentioning the millions of Black Americans NOT involved in crime. It's
    the very essence of racism to judge a race by the actions of a small percentage of that race. It would be like if I said White Americans shouldn't
    be allowed to work in the stock market because the vast majority of securities fraud is perpetrated by White people.

    They aren't backing their minority candidates in the local level elections - that's where future political leaders come from.

    It doesn't bother me. I vote in my own best interest, not for someone that considers himself above me.

    Really, show us. lol


    Yet the actual Democrat party supports KKK Grand Dragon Robert Byrd who refuse to remove his monuments and gave him a state funeral with its host speaker Joe Biden.

    You use a news paper article to make a claim when its was the Democrat party that actually created, voted for, and instituted Jim Crow laws
    Hilarious

    You mean the same bill that was struck down by two Supreme Court decisions of Shelby County v. Holder and Brnovich v. Democratic National Committee for allowing the federal government to decide on states voting laws?
    You should get out more before you post things you know nothing about

    Right, how dare he run for office in California as a black man.
    Or were you going to provide these fake claims of him echoing these shameful white supremacist rhetoric?

    Yet according to you, its more important to select people by color than it is experience. If race didn't REALLY matter to you, you wouldn't select people by race.
    And you can't even see the hypocrisy.

    If you are a criminal, and you are convicted of being a criminal, you demonize yourself.
    You have certain rights taken away from you and find it hard to be able to qualify for jobs and other resources.

    When 13% of the population commits 56% of all violent crimes, you don't get to demonize everyone else for recognizing it.
    Ignoring the violence doesn't make it get better, If you can't acknowledge the facts, then you become responsible for the results.

    Now you're just trying to rationalize your claim with ridiculous comparisons. Does this mean that Black Americans shouldn't be allowed to play American football or basket ball because the vast amount of crimes committed by the players are committed by Black people?

    Taking a race dominated association to claim the dominate race in that association commits the most crimes is just a desperate attempt to push a false narrative that can't stand on its own.

    Then you would know more than the FBI. (NOT)
    According to the FBI,
    African-Americans accounted for 55.9% of all homicide offenders, with whites 41.1%, and "Other" 3.0% in cases where the race was known.
    Among homicide victims where the race was known, 54.7% were black or African-American, 42.3% were white, and 3.1% were of other races.

    The per-capita offending rate for African-Americans was roughly eight times higher than that of whites, and their victim rate was similar. 91% of black or African-American victims were killed by blacks or African-Americans.

    I’m an independent thinker. My voting history is all over the place. Sometimes for Republicans, sometimes for Democrats, sometimes third party when both major party candidates disgust me as in 2016. Race means nothing to me; party means nothing to me. If you belong to either major party, I’m apt to put you into the mindless robot column who follows the dictates of your major party’s leaders. Those who don’t think for themselves but must be told what to think.

    It is frustrating to me that so many place emphases on race and party affiliation, not the qualities and qualifications of the candidates. But in a two-party system where the choices if one is realistic, Candidate A or Candidate B, it’s not surprising.

    As for me, this old white country boy voted Democratic in 2020 because Biden wasn’t Trump. I voted Johnson in 2016 because he wasn’t Trump nor was, he Hillary Clinton. Talk about digging the worst dregs from the bottom of the barrel to run for the office of the presidency. 2016 is it.

    I think if everyone would just vote for the best candidate available regardless of party, regardless of race or gender, this country would be much better off.

    You are still living in yesteryear. TODAY, the GOP is the party of discrimination, which includes the six radical right-wing activist Supreme Court justices who openly support MAKING THE AMERICAN CASTE SYSTEM GREAT AGAIN. It is not just the GOP's opposition to voting rights, these unAmerican scoundrels are going after worker rights, consumer rights, LGBTQ rights to name a few.

    I've voted for Republicans, Democrats, and for third parties, depending on the office and the candidates. I don't subscribe to the racial obsessions expressed in the OP, that's why I've sometimes voted for the Dems.

    So you couldn't dispute the Democrat party supporting KKK Grand Dragon Robert Byrd
    You couldn't dispute the Democrat party who created, voted for, and instituted Jim Crow laws
    You couldn't dispute the bill that was struck down by two Supreme Court decisions allowing the federal government to decide on states voting laws?
    You couldn't dispute your fake shameful white supremacist rhetoric of Larry Elder.

    So now its on to MAKING THE AMERICAN CASTE SYSTEM GREAT AGAIN because 6 of the SCOTUS judges are GOP racist? :roflol:
