Democrats convinced Black people that it was RACIST to expect them to compete in society...

Democrats... you know... the party that voted unanimously to keep slavery...

If you’re black, the odds are stacked against you from birth. It’s not a conspiracy invented for political gain, just the reality we face. Expecting us to compete in that kind of society is setting us up for failure. If you see black people supporting democrats, that’s why. We’re not some easily manipulated puppets. What’s racist is believing that we are

@Hoonse that’s fine but white people arent your enemie and today face as many challenges as you do with poverty, marginalizations, and education.

To think that we have some unidentifiable privilege that you don’t is obsurd...
and that’s not to say we don’t face DIFFERENT common challenges, but that we all suffer in life the same.

To think we have it easier than you is a LIE, and it makes us white people with real challenges angry

@Hoonse you are talking like a puppet. What “odds” are stacked against you at birth? Work hard like a man and kick ass. Don’t make horrible decisions. It’s not complicated, don’t play the victim card, it’s cheap and no one cares
@GardenSage What am I supposed to say? These are all strawman arguments. I never mentioned anything about enemies or white people or privilege. Your entire retort has nothing to do with what I said.

It’s like you’re assuming you already know what I think. Like you have a narrative in your head that black people are all the same.

It’s really condescending. If you’re trying to alienate black people, you’re doing it right. Otherwise, I’d revise what you think you know

Also, you live in Seattle.. white people would throw themselves in a puddle for you to walk over there..

So I KNOW it’s not that bad for you

@Hoonse then say what you think and stop playing these shadow games...

And I will address what’s you think directly

I know better than to engage with closed minds. I’m taking my leave.

There are no mind tricks about why black people vote the way they do. There’s no warping of reality to fit a narrative.

If you want to know why black people don’t agree with you politically, take a look in the mirror. It has a lot to do with the type of people you are

Holy shit I saw that coming a mile away...

I suppose if I were lazy, I’d hate a guy who was making me Get a job.

Fuck you. How fucking typical. You didn’t answer because I NAILED THE WAY YOU THINK..

Fuck off seriously. @Hoonse

@Hoonse you are playing right into their hand...you are a useful little pawn
Fine. Keep patting yourselves on the back. You’ve won nothing but more animosity
GardenSage · 36-40, M
@Hoonse who’s fault is that?
GardenSage · 36-40, M
@Hoonse just know that you had an opportunity to address this directly and I would have been as open minded as anyone could be, but you tucked tail...

You could’ve been a representative. You could’ve been understanding. You could’ve helped to open a dialogue... I was ready.

You faltered. You ran. I harbor no animosity. I expected it.
@GardenSage There was no willingness to understand. You didn’t ask a question. You weren’t looking for answers. You’re just voicing your preconceived opinions and getting upset when people don’t agree.

That’s not the kind of person someone has a worthwhile debate with

@Hoonse you haven’t even debated me yet lol. Why are you making assumptions. Quit being a pussy.
GardenSage · 36-40, M
@Hoonse I’ll wrap the whole argument up with this:

It isn’t racist to expect you to compete in society. It’s racist to think you can’t.
Opportunity is abstract and arbitrary and is available to anyone who is creative enough to seize it.

Black people are creative. Black peoples can work hard. Black people can find success in black communities just like the Asians and Hispanics and every other minority in America.

All you have to do is let them.

Allow yourself to be self sufficient. You’ll NEVER achieve that by voting for democrats.
@GardenSage You said I could’ve opened a dialogue. I’m saying that it would be fruitless. That’s the way responses work.

And the playground insult just cements what I saw from the beginning: you’re incapable of intellectual debate
GardenSage · 36-40, M
@Hoonse lol that’s stupid too. Intelligent people are vulgar all the time.

Lmao! Fuck off pusssssyyyyyy!!!!
Slappaho · 41-45, M
@Hoonse would you please tell me how you were oppressed from birth? What happened to you that made you feel disadvantaged?
GardenSage · 36-40, M
@Slappaho he cant because I blocked him..

He wouldn’t have anyway. It’s a lie.

@GardenSage dude was a bitch
