Nah bro, Pit is right there. I've seen Ghettos in Chicago, Dallas, and LA... I've been to Appalachia too. At best they are both poor and forgotten or looked on as a blight. They are treated about like Puerto Rico.
Being dirt poor is color blind and white privilege ends at upper lower class.
Get out of the paint before I have to come in there and reject that shot on you! lol
Throwing them bricks in a glass house is just ST PID.
I'm white and you can't say I don't understand or know, that i don't speak up, that I'm moderate, and you ripped me for voting my conscious instead of biting on the HRC "I'm not Trump" bait.
Screw HRC and her primary rigging ass! Trump sucks BAAAAAAAAD, but I'd rather have Trump and my dignity, then HRC and be like 40.
“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”
Sounds like he is wound up. Plenty to oppose. I do some poverty work every week. Seeing everybody else's values that you insult and belittle does nothing good. This country is diminishing itself IMO. Attacking someone does not forgive your darlings at all on either side. This is Swamp Trumpy and both parties are hurting us. Illogical ranting doesn't make it so, no mater how many times it is repeated. Americans deserve better.
The trend is hard to ignore, and it seems to be getting worse. Not sure I see what going out of your way to treat posters like this achieves. Back it off some.

Just for clarity's sake, that was directed at: Who?
Republicans don't get art or any concept that requires at least 3 brain cells.
That's what passes for art nowadays? I don't know what's worse. A millenial struggling to open a can, or one passing off stuggling to open a can as art.
Art is renaissance nudes, especially if the subject is a redhead. Art is a song with 4 or more voices. Art is a dance routine that entertains and inspires. Art is nature itself. I have no idea how that could be art. I guess I create art every time I feed my dogs.
I’m sure you think burping the alphabet is a special talent, too.
“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”
civil war wasn't about slavery too, right? it was about state rights.
This will make you mad and you will lash out, but frankly, it wasn't all that much about either. Yes, both had a role in things, but there was a much bigger issue. Research and learn or lash out and stay dumb.
ill listen to him over anything you or others claim otherwise.

Nice post, bard. Both "sides" are whacked.
I do think that we have to take solace in the fact that most folks aren't as biased as those who populate this forum. I think a lot of folks have decent common sense and can see the good and the bad on both sides.
I read this forum and I get depressed and kind of lose hope for humanity. Both sides are so despicable. So biased. So set in their ways and unwilling to empathize what the other side has to say.
However, not all people are like that. When I have conversations w/both blacks and whites.........most folks have the common sense to know that there are good and bad in all of the different groups and that it is ignorant to make broad, general statements that pertain any certain group.
i got people telling me to learn history and stop sounding dumb, yet im the only one spitting facts non stop while yall steady spreading false narratives and making crap up.
you dont even know your own damn history, yet got the audacity to claim ANYBODY is stay dumb?
and yet yall stay wondering why theres a divide between blacks and whites. yall asses can't even acknowledge basic facts, yet got the nerve to act like there's a "both sides" argument.
save it for yall AARP meeting yall planning in the other thread with the DT meetup.
“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”
Don't take the time to research the money angle, because we know that greed never has much to do w/anything and that back in the day, doing the right thing was of ultra importance, even though there were slaves in the North.
You keep deluding yourself that the North freed the slaves because their hearts were pure and their respect for blacks was real.
you clearly didn't watch the video i posted of a military historian breaking down the civil war.
and then you're further sounding dumb - ya know, something you failed at trying to claim i was - by assuming i haven't done my research.
so to recap:
1. you don't know what you're talking about, and 2. you spread false narratives to deflect from the fact that you don't know what you're talking about.
hope we won't start talking about WW2 next. the path you're going, you're gonna start claiming both sides were to blame for the holocaust.
both sides, BOTH SIDES

I think Kant said it best when he surmised art as purposive without purpose. Although I don't think those ideas were really ever pushed until the 40's and 50's with the classical music of the time.
Only in a thread about "liberal education" would we have people making arguments that Slavery wasn't the primary reason for the Civil War under the guise of an educated opinion.
Black people overwhelmingly threw their support toward Hillary.
Who is Hillary? Among many other things, she is someone who looked up to and was influenced by Margaret Sanger. Margaret Sanger is a feminist icon and liberal progressive hero for her work in pushing abortion as a "right to choose" and a way to empower women.
But Margaret Sanger is also the one who pushed abortion as a means of a pseudo-genocide of blacks, and as a means to control their population. She also talked about co-opting the leaders of black communities in order to keep those communities "in check". Though I'm not sure if she spoke about those things before, during, or after her photo shoots with the guys wearing white hoods.
Sanger was only logistics and a hair more sadistic shy of being the next Hitler.
I guess what I'm saying is, it's difficult for me to care about the occasional off color statement made by Trump or anyone else for that matter, when a group of people who complain about being oppressed, repressed, and treated as second class citizens throw the full weight of their political influence (which in spite of being oppressed is quite sizable) behind a woman who was greatly influenced by someone who wanted to see them wiped from the face of the earth.

It’s difficult for you to care about anything because you willingly participate in a system that has oppressed black people since the end of slavery.
It’s beyond hilarious watching a cop talk against black people and oppression.
Let me know when you get your medal for shooting an unarmed 12 year old black kid. Y’all cops ain’t got a problem doing that, yet when white boys shoot up churches and schools, y’all tuck your tail inbetween your legs and take the shooters to Burger King.
“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”
You’ll ignore 45 tips and calls for help that another crazy white boy is about to shoot something up, yet got no problem racial profiling blacks just because they have a hoodie on.
“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”
You’ll shoot a guy laying on the ground with his hands up, but won’t shoot a white guy high in bath salts that just killed two people and ate their faces off.
“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”
You’ll choke out an unarmed black man selling cigarettes on the side of a street, yet support a system where some white kid can drive drunk and kill 4 people, only to get probation cause he’s too rich to know right from wrong.
“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”
It's ok. I'll be the bigger man and not resort to racist, prejudicial, stereotypes. You however can feel free to carry on with it.. I suppose you've earned it. But you may want to look in to finding a way to cope with the obvious guilt of being complicit in the oppression of your own people through your political support of certain candidates.
