What we all know (at least those who are informed) is that the Republics have been using the method of projecting blame from themselves onto the other side in order to take the spotlight off themselves. Keeping minorities in fear is their other favorite method, and is something else they project onto their opponents.

Was that meant to be a "fixed it for you"? Let me know so I can respond accordingly.

Many in the African-American community are social conservatives and one would expect them to vote Republican. I wonder why they don't? ;)

Oh right, the Democrats give them "free stuff." I wonder if the Republicans are ever going to realize how bogus that excuse is and fix the real problem?

No. Just responding to a post. If it were a “fix”, you would have been notified.

You quoted me and changed what I said. That's a "fixed it for you", not a response.

I just want to put it out there that most people judge posts as pro-Trump, and against Trump. Someone like myself is trying to find truth. I do not agree with what Trump is doing concerning this topic, but I do not see how he can go about accomplishing literally anything, if he is not willing to fight back with just as much vehemence, obstruction, and force.

This puts you in an off spot where the person you want to approve of is taking on the actions of those you oppose. And it is hard to rectify, or condone. At the same time it is hard to vilify seeing it is directed at those who created this chaos in the first place. So for me, at this point, Trump's one saving grace in this is he hasn't turned on the people of America. Instead he is trying to gut the establishment.

You had me when you suggested you realized that the constitution is being trampled, but if you know this why do you suggest is outside of the establishment exploiting him for further destruction of civil liberties and ceremonious tragedy?

Each president has the same superficial, and clandestine job; Trump is the same as Obama, who is the same as Bush II, et. cetera.

Yet the black community overwhelmingly supports Democrats. Are you suggesting that you know better what African Americans want better than they do?
The 2018 midterm vote: Divisions by race, gender, education

Must be that the African American community values what the Democrats do for them. Or, more accurately, African Americans value what they do with the Democratic party since they are members of the party and participate in the process, not just benefit from it.

They're told by the democrats that people who are black are less capable and need the government's help (from democrats there), or they don't have a chance to get by in this world. They're told that they should vote for democrats or they won't make it. They're coddled like little children when their feelings are hurt. They're told that the white man is out to get them. All of this to make them dependent on the democrat party.

The real problem is that the black community has been led to believe that they need democrats to hold their hand throughout their life, or they can't succeed because there is an evil force in the world (the white man) who is out to get them and is to blame for all their problems--including problems their great grandparents had when the democrats owned them before. Now they use fear to own them again.

Or, is it a hyperbolic idea of "the Black Person" that is the problem - based on fear, ignorance and enmity? For example, consider your post quoted.

Not sensitive enough? Black person embraces both genders. I dare not say the "black man" because that would be sexist.

What you are saying suggests that minorities are unable to independently make political decisions. Seems harsh.

I think it is more likely that the Dems are supported by minorities because DRMs support minorities.

I see the projecting is continuing.
What I was saying is that the democrats portray black people as inferior in that they aren't smart enough or capable enough to do things on their own. That's why they keep labeling them as minorities, telling them that they are victims, portraying them as a people who are so fragile that mere words can put them down, and that only the democrats can save them lest they be destroyed by the Republicans when in fact the democrats have enslaved them to themselves.

Yeah, problem is that what you are saying has no basis in fact. The Fox News overlords have fed you these lies.

I don't even have cable service for my TV. So, no Fox News.
But keep guessing. Keep assuming.

Disgusting and offensive, most particularly to African Americans, who you apparently think no more of than that they could be "played" in such a preposterous fashion.

Not me. The Dems. Of course, not all of them are played that way. Many of them are willing to think for themselves and not rely on the democrats, and don't allow mere words to destroy them, and don't see themselves as the victims the dems want them to be. Too bad the democrats don't see them favorably and even label them as traitors.

It's not the sensitivity, it's the tone and language. I meant exactly what I said; I am not sensitive to modifiers and pronouns.

You still leave the question of how the idea of the "Black Person" is hyperbolic at best in America - especially in relation to the tone and language of your post.

In other words, you are confusing stereotype with reality, and basing your conclusions on a delusion that has been molded to fit your specific psychology. This is why I didn't say what you said was offensive.
