Wow. What a racist as fuck comment.
If you’ve made it this far and you can’t fit the jigsaw pieces of America’s racist history and racist present, plus how politics has been dominated by white men almost exclusively, and how leftists are tired of it on so many levels, and you choose somehow to be offended by a white democratic nominee for president being called “safe white boy,” I don’t know what to tell you.
We elected a black man president in 2008, then suddenly got too racist. Sure, that makes perfect sense. It couldn't possibly be the platforms the Democrats were running on. /s
We elected a black man president in 2008
Sort of. It's not like we elected James Brown.
Holy fuck. Centrists are so goddamned desperate to run with their "we have to shut out AOC because the US is racist (until she's no longer a threat to our hegemony)" narrative that they're pretending Obama isn't Black.
I remember whites saying he was too black, poc saying he was too white, and leftists saying he's too corporate.
I remember centrists calling Bill Clinton the "first black president." Guess they don't want to give up the title.
Omg I don't remember that. The real oppression, amirite?! 🤦♀️
Obama has a white mother, and was raised by her exclusively in a city that is less than 3% black. Eminem is blacker than Obama.
Double down more. It illustrates my point.
You had a point?
I can't help that you're determined to miss it.
Well it helps that I don't really give a shit what you think
Racists are well known for tolerance of mixed race children. /s
It's not like James Brown is likely to run in 2028, so what's your point?
The reason we have a fascist groundswell in this country is the same reason any country has ever had a fascist groundswell.
- Wealth inequality drives populism.
- Wealthy liberals shut out left populism.
- Right populism benefits and quickly turns fascist.
My point is we elected the whitest black guy we could possibly find and even then it took 230 years. We still have a long way to go before we pat ourselves on the back.
When did I suggest back pats?
We didn't "suddenly get too racist". The US was no more likely to elect a black presenting president in 2008 than we are now. Even one with Obama's gravitas.
Exactly. A minority candidate absolutely can win, as long as they can rally Democratic voters.
I hope you're right but I have my doubts.
I’m not sure if you’re replying to me but it doesn’t seem like you’re replying to what I said.
Rules for thee and not for me from the looks of it.
Tell me your a white boy without saying you're a white boy.
That’s the problem: you’re not seeing it.
lol, you'll be fine.
That makes no sense.
Racism : prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism by an individual, community, or institution against a person or people on the basis of their membership in a particular racial or ethnic group, typically one that is a minority or marginalized.
Not feeling the racist vibe off of this. Maybe if she said "cracker" or "slaver" or something like that, but I don't feel that she is disparaging white men, she's voicing a complaint that the DNC will not run a candidate that appeals to their base, and will once again try to get the centrist and moderate-right vote again.
