Really? Then where are your entries of racist behavior by black Democrats during this election towards white Republicans solely based on them being white?

I started a thread that has ZERO entries. Just in case you wanted up update us.

It's pretty tough for ten percent of the population to be successfully racist against the other 90. Not impossible, but it takes a lot of extra effort.

Which gets us into the "black leader" thing. I have a sore spot where that concept rubs me the wrong way. Are we supposed to think every black person in the country checks with Al Sharpton before they form an opinion?

You know it isn't "the left" who pushes the "black leader" and "black community" narratives, right?

Racism - or simply judgement by race is more common than believed. Everyone likes to nail it down to simply racist stereotypes. The truth is hilarious compared to what silly liberals like to perceive.

It simply boils down to culturalism and tribalism that stems from our very nature. Why do you think black neighborhoods exist? Why do you think racial segregated employee networks exist? You can keep dreaming that it is all coincidence, but please allow me to sell you a bridge as well.

Oh you mean like Oprah that the left wants to run for president?

Two can play at that game.

Except republicans have already moved beyond it being a game and elected the celebrity. I do agree though that those on the left that want to follow suit are pretty stupid.

Racism isn't the voluntary association of similar people.

What am I living in denial of, specifically?

You said a few things that literally everyone already knows, that racism is based on tribalism, but then provided examples of voluntary association within tribal groups as racism. Given that racism requires involuntary exclusion based upon tribal identities, those examples obviously aren't true.
Now we could discuss how black neighborhoods actually exist because of the legacies of redlining and segregation, examples of involuntary exclusion, but then that wouldn't fit into your narrative, would it?

I'm confused by this? So you don't think racial groups often congregate together intentionally and voluntarily because of an added feeling of trust and security?

The racism I'm talking about is beyond stereotypes and tribalism. I'm talking about open hate and acts of violence. That's way beyond people segregating into their own areas. The area I live in is segregated to some extant, but we don't get out the tiki torches and white sheets when a black family moves into a predominantly white neighborhood. We wave and say "hi".

Segregation is by definition involuntary.

It can also be voluntary. I just looked it up to be sure.
I watched a young black fellow on the tv a few years back promoting all black city's with black owned banks and currency that could only be used by blacks. Isn't that segregation? He wanted a black state within the US. Obviously an idea that didn't go anywhere, but he had supporters.

No, that's separatism. There are many white separatist groups as well, spouting similar BS. That isn't anything new.
Segregation is involuntary and usually institutional, as in a black kid is not allowed to go to a white school or vice versa a white kid and a black school.

Says the guy who lacks the balls to reply to me directly.

Your narrative is an obvious false equivalency. Choosing to associate within your own tribal group is not racism. Excluding others in a harmful way because they are not of your tribal group is racism.

This troll thread is brilliant. While it plays on the fake movement that Republicans created and tried to pass off as Democrats walking away from their party, resulting in an epic fail, it attracts conservatives who try to pretend that they once were Democrats. Another epic fail.

The only way any of these morans ever leaned left is if they were standing somewhere where a 90 degree turn to the right would have them facing uphill.

This argument doesn't make racial discrimination excusable. If you want to act impulsively on all your base instincts go ahead, but society is maintained under rule of law
 
I'd like a breakdown/analysis of how and why htag walk-away didnt catch on / go viral... What did Data Propria/Brad Parscale miss? They also missed the target with the racist ad that even Fox pulled.. Its almost like there is no more bigots to recruit? If bigoted racism gets old then Trump is done.
