I surely hope you aren't seriously trying to say it doesn't happen.

Yes there are a few nutjobs who do it - just like there are a few rightist nutjobs who called Obama a N******* - the difference is that some of us can understand isolated nutjob behavior and others want to try to act like such nutjob behavior is widespread and systemic among normal people when it is not.

Only one of those I have ever heard of is David Clarke and he is an idiot no matter what color you are

You've not heard of Thomas Sowell and call other people names?

No sitting Democratic member of Congress called Condoleeza Rice an Uncle Tom. No member of the Democratic National Committee called Condoleeza Rice an Uncle Tom. And on and on. In any case, the burden of proof is on you who is making the extraordinary claim. The burden of proof is not on the person who questions the extraordinary claim. 

 

If you read the thread, I never said they were called uncle toms.  I explained the modern day "uncle tom" tactics.  Please try to keep it.   

As for the bolded: Each "extraordinary" claim is completely independent from each other, so IOW you're narrative that conservatives overreact to everything the left does/says is largely exaggerated.  

There are people on the left who call minorities who take differing political stances than what they feel they should have "uncle tom's" in order to discredit them. Just like there are people on the right who act like a lot of the left-wing types speaking out against certain things are "crisis actors" getting that Soros money in order to discredit them. Just another of the million things where both sides are basically the same as far as being shitheels goes, but try to pretend those sorts of shenanigans are only prevalent on the other side.

The "it happens on both sides" argument doesn't really come into play with this topic.  There are full retards on both sides, and then there are legitimately smart people deceiving people and doing everything they can do to make sure their conventional wisdom is not broken. One is much more prevalent than the other. There is a reason why black people continuously vote for the side that promises them that they have their best intentions in mind (not to mention these people end up running their towns) and then still hold the lowest median household income after all of these years. 

So basically black people are too dumb to know who to vote for and easily fooled by trickery lol gtfo with that narrative. The right is no better and will do more of the same

If you believe a politician when they promise to fix your fucked-up life, you're screwed regardless of your race/sex/religion and regardless of which party the politician belongs to.

For those who do not know how to use Twitter, I have started a list of those people I have mentioned before. You can feel free to look through tweets of these people and/or others. The horse has been led.

I never said they are dumb.  That is your own insecurity, but apparently the left does think they are dumb considering they tell them they can't succeed without their help.  What they are selling is a bunch of bullshit, but I do admit it all sounds really good.

I also acknowledge both parties are full of shit and will do anything for votes. I just find it funny the conventional wisdom is the left has always been the party that has had black people's (and all other minorities) best interests in mind.  So much so, that they have done nothing to help them for 50 years.  Good virtue signaling for 50 years though. 

Sadly the track record for the right is worse. There is a reason 100% of racists vote repu

Actually they come to me. Most family get togethers happen at my house because I have the most room to let the kids run and they want to ride the horses. 

Do better.

He's jackin. Just like he always does. 

Changing directions. Apparently the credit card company, Mastercard, is forcing Patreon to ban people. 

So it's becoming more and more clear that it is not always the platform itself that decides to ban people, it is the companies that are the movers and the shakers behind them.

You obviously have not watched how CNN and MSNBC treat AA conservatives. Unless you are willing to call those “left wing nut jobs”. 

I have nothing to add to this conversation other than Thomas Sowell is the goddamn man.

I am waiting for gblock to prove 100% of racists vote for republicans. 

People that are confirmed racists vote republican does that mean there aren’t some extra racists that vote dem? It’s possible but if u put the trump agenda and the nazi/klan agenda side by side they line up well . There is a reason trump supporters on here and everywhere are complaining about being called racists. It’s the party where racists go. So ok 99%. We can bicker about the number but my point is accurate. I can give you multiple nazi groups and links from kkk that show what party they endorse if necessary I guess

You do understand that the KKK was started by Democrats, correct?

I can go all day
