Charlie kirk is trending for saying something that is racist. He said if he sees a black pilot entering the cockpit he would say "I hope he is qualified" This is obviously racist without context. But what he said is base on the current DEI agenda. So he is saying the quiet part loud. He was on a show discussing about the DEI agenda companies employ. Where they tend to focus on minority hire instead of hiring the best whether they are in the minority group or not. What he said is racists without context but in this case... He is spot on with his concerns. The DEI nonsense is being pushed too much. I will say his choice of words were controversial though so the backlash is understandable as well 2 Likes |

bemeruca: I'm actually glad Kirk wrote this. It makes it evident that criticism of DEI is just a catchall for racists who believe black people aren't good/smart enough. I'm not sure I told this story. But one of my exes was a graduate of 1 of the top 2 Law Schools in the US (being somewhat nebulous). She was half Nigerian, half white. She applied for summer internships in law firms with her Nigerian name initially and wasn't getting any interviews. She subsequently applied with her white/European middle name and got interviews with some of the top law firms in the US and ended up accepting a job at one of the top firms (She got offers to the top 3). DEI, is a tool to force companies to hire qualified minorities vs. looking them over based on racism as they tend to do. The argument that in a country of 300 million with a 12% black population or 40% minority population, they can't find qualified minorities is specious at best. Now for the self hating black person who thinks minorities aren't qualified to fly planes. The same arguments were used in the past to prevent black people (not capable/smart enough) from flying. And here you are again speaking the vocabulary of racists. Here are the Tuskegee Airmen. Your words spit on their graves. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pp3_7Yo2xFw 2 Likes 1 Share |

IjeBos: this is the craziest shit I have seen today. hahahahaha So the tool forces them? what nonsense. you don't have anything to say. President Gay was the leader of Harvard because of your DEI tool. how did that go? If you want to Hire based on minority, Just quietly do it. Don't come out and announce that you want to increase the black number of pilots by 50%, it will make people question if you are picking the best. Nobody questioned Judge Jackson's qualifications until Biden said he would pick a black judge who is a woman. he could have just said he was going to pick the most qualified judge and then pick her but now people don't think he picked her for her qualifications but for her skin color and Gender. 1 Like |

You'll see as Dems starts panicking during the fall and try to remove them especially RFK jnr from swing state ballots. It'll prove that Dems are not as democratic as they claim...

Laurene: "Trump is a dictator." "Trump is authoritarian." "Trump is a Nazi, and worse than Hitler." "Trump is a racist, fascist and every other bad thing." They forget that Trump has actually been president for 4 years. And I've forgotten how many people he rounded up and sent to the gas chamber. But I remember he was the most persecuted, witch-hunted and manhunted "dictator" in history. He was persecuted even by his own DOJ. He was investigated non-stop throughout his tenure, and they're still at it. He was impeached twice for frivolities. The only politicians jailed under his watch were his own political allies. What a dictator and authoritarian. 4 Likes 1 Share |

So, who do you think is capable of saying Trump did something illegal without it being persecution?

Re: American Politics Thread - 2024 Elections — Biden’s Presidency! by IjeBos(m): 5:20pm On Jan 26 |
zendi: You didn't answer any of the questions. Your claim is that Biden's DOJ was out to persecute him. And also Trump's hand picked DOJ (he fired all the AG's and replaced them when he took office) were all out to persecute him. Again, who do you think would be fair to prosecute him for illegal actions? Or do you believe that he should never be prosecuted? And furthermore, I don't understand your argument. Do you believe Trump didn't commit those acts? Or do you believe even if he did at 72 he shouldn't be prosecuted for them? I happen to believe the DOJ has let skate a lot of the illegalities he commited and they were forced to prosecute what they did because they didn't want to set the standard that his actions were acceptable. And the next time someone decides to go further. 1 Like 1 Share |

bemeruca: The Democrats only need minorities to hold onto power, once they get that power tht stopped caring for anyone a years-old video message circulating on social media from New York City Rep. Yvette Clarke (D-N.Y.) strikes a much different chord. When border states like Texas and Arizona complain the blue states will call them racists, now New York got what Texas gets in one week and they are complaining. Shows Democrats are actually the hypocrites |
Re: American Politics Thread - 2024 Elections — Biden’s Presidency! by JessicaRabbit(f): 7:06pm On Jan 26 |
raumdeuter: Well, it's quite the assertion. While Rep. Clarke's comments may sound questionable, it's important not to generalize the entire Democratic party based on one individual's statement. Political parties are diverse, and views within them vary. Criticizing Democrats as only caring about minorities for political gain oversimplifies a complex landscape. We can always discuss the nuances of immigration policy without falling into the trap of broad generalizations and logical fallacies. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Read my post again... I never said Biden won't win independents but it's highly unlikely this time around because the coalition he won with in 2020 is a fragile one and it has broken up partly due to his woeful presidency as seen in his approval rating (the lowest since Carter). This election is also gonna feature well-funded opponents in RFK jnr, Cornel West, the Greens, Libertarians and probably the No labels. He would have overcame them if he was popular. Biden would lose enough independent votes that carried him previously to third parties, enough to cause a defeat. And yes Biden is currently losing in 90 percent of the polls, with them even showing him getting jeopardized in blue states like New York, Maine, New Hampshire etc... That'll cause the swing state Dems to panic and try to use shenanigans and flimsy frivolities to block some of these third parties especially Cornel west who would in fact take away Muslim and progressive votes from Biden. I still stand the Dems out of desperation would try to remove third parties from the ballot... Just watch! IjeBos:Most polls even the liberal ones are showing Biden losing independents... Check very well. It's still quite a long shot till November but I can't see Biden improving with them. If the lag continues, Trump would squeeze out a plurality from independents and narrowly win the electoral college. 2 Likes |

benalvino3: Firstly, your claim about Democrats "importing" minorities to swing red states is demonstrably false. It's a strawman argument, attributing motivations and actions to Democrats that simply don't exist. Immigration policy is complex, driven by many factors, and reducing it to a sinister plot by one party reeks of misinformation and fear-mongering. Secondly, you imply that Democrats only care about minorities for votes. This, my friend, is a textbook example of "othering". It paints a monolithic picture of an entire group, ignoring the diversity of thought and opinion within the Democratic party - as well as the countless Democrats who genuinely advocate for minority rights based on principles, not just political calculus. Furthermore, conflating undocumented immigrants with a monolithic "minority base" further perpetuates dehumanization. It reduces individuals to mere voting blocs, ignoring their stories, struggles, and contributions to American society. It's a tactic often used to stir up fear and division, not engage in honest debate. So again, if you're genuinely interested in discussing immigration policy, let's ditch the conspiracy theories and harmful stereotypes. We can talk about border security, pathways to citizenship, economic impact, and the ethical implications of different approaches. But it needs to be based on facts, not fear-mongering and "us vs. them" rhetoric. If you're open to a genuine exchange of ideas, I'm here. But if you're just peddling inflammatory narratives, well, perhaps stick to solitaire – at least then you're guaranteed to win against yourself. And hey, if you're hungry for some historical context, we can discuss how both parties have historically shifted their stances on immigration, how fear-mongering tactics have been used throughout history, and how genuine dialogue can lead to better solutions than demonizing entire groups of people. Just saying, food for thought. 2 Likes |
