Thanks for the post, although I disagree that America was never great for black people…allow me to explain… The word “great” is a subjective term…And although two people may be experiencing similar things, it’s possible that one may think it’s a wonderful experience, and the other may think it’s just ok… Everyone has a different American experience, no question about it…There are people born rich, people born poor, and people everywhere in between- and this crosses over to all ethnicities… And while this is going on, nothing in society is ever perfect, nor will it ever be perfected… Therefore, all individual people can ever do is ask “Is my situation, in a particular area, better now than it was before?” If it is, then that’s fantastic, good for you…But if it is not, then sometimes people will want to strive to get to a point where a particular aspect of their life was better in the past… Many people recognize earlier times in their lives as more innocent, and absent of all the chaos they may experience now…Especially with the advancement for technology, along with all the great things that it brings, it also brings along a lot more pitfalls for society… To me, the call to Make America Great Again is a longing for simpler times, where people were more polite, school shootings and genital mutilations were unheard of, communities rallied together in various neighborhoods, parents were looked up to, kids could ride their bikes without fear of being kidnapped, military endeavors were noble and inspirational, journalists were honorable, education was a priority, and was proven in our national standing, the country lead the world in manufacturing, people stayed committed to their marriages more etc etc… These are just some of the things that America was better at in the past than it is now… For black people specifically, America was great when blacks fought and won their freedom in the South…It was great when people like Booker T. Washington took the descendants of slaves and produced the highest test scores in the country…It was great when blacks created Jazz music, and led some of the greatest combat units in WWI and WWII…America was great when blacks earned the right to vote, or worked to become lawyers and doctors…America was great when blacks helped to end segregation in the South, and own their own businesses… And last, but certainly not least, America was great for black people when they didn’t murder themselves at such a cold and alarming rate…there was more of a respect for people in their communities …👍

Combating imaginary racism with actual racism??
JaCrispy replied to Unforgiven's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Remember what Anti-Racism teaches us- in order to end racism and inequality, it is necessary to be MORE racist…🤣🤣🤣 So, yes…To agree with your point, these people are purposely racist, and they justify it with their woke religion, because they feel that being racist is for a noble cause… -
Hey MAGA- When was America ever great?

And what lie would you be referring to? You seem to have a penchant for making vague accusations without explaining what you’ specifically disagree with… -

America was great when blacks fought for and won their freedom, along with the aid of abolitionists and white soldiers! MAGA 👍 -
Well, then it sounds like a miscommunication… The other night, when I said I would look at it over the weekend, I meant I would check out the links you posted another time because I was getting ready to go out to the casino, and didn’t have time to respond to you at the moment… Im sorry if I wasn’t clear enough in my verbiage, but that’s what I meant…👍

I don’t know man…I feel like identity politics has taken us backwards with regards to race relations… I feel like our country is more racist now than in the ‘90s… You can’t teach society that 1 group of people is inherently evil simply because of skin color, and then not expect negative consequences as a result…That same rationale was used to justify slavery…
