IjeBos:Trolling and gaslighting that Americans heard the messaging and argument of both sides, evaluated their records under both and chose the one better for them |

IjeBos:Nostalgic . https://historyfacts.com/arts-culture/article/life-in-1950s-america-by-the-numbers/ The “nuclear family” (describing married couples with kids at home) was ingrained in the culture; more than half of all people (68% of men and 66% of women) were married. By the time the ’60s rolled around, many of these cultural norms would be upended, but this generation left a lasting mark on American society. H |

raumdeuter:He probably has to exhaust all his appeals I am guessing. Death sentences have been commuted to life sentences before. |

basilico:IjeBos only see things through the lens of race and victimhood. People back then were happier, stronger, healthier. See the bold below, the guy can't help himself. bemeruca: |

Whoopi Goldberg lies on air saying egg prices have not fallen. https://www.aol.com/whoopi-goldberg-falsely-claims-egg-183629880.html He did promise to lower the price of groceries, I have not seen an egg fall one cent since this man got in,” Goldberg said, prompting co-host Sunny Hostin to falsely say they are going up. These people are paid to lie. Sunny Hostin was forced to read a legal memo some months ago trashing Matt Gaetz. They know half the country will believe them. Those who believe these people are just dumb dumber dumbest |

basilico:What job opportunites do you think black men had in the US in the 50s? Do you understand what the civil right act and affirmative action were about? Maybe next you will say Nigerians were also doing well in the 50s Go and watch Malcolm x. Watch devil in a blue dress. Watch hidden figures. Watch fences. Watch till. Those movies will give you an idea of what life was like for black people in the 50s. The nostalgia is from white people who were guaranteed a good life on a high school education. That is gone partially because of the corporate greed Raum celebrates but also because white people now have to compete with blacks and browns for jobs. You can also watch actual movies from the 50s. The only roles for blacks - cleaning One of the reasons star trek was so groundbreaking when it came out was that it featured a black woman (uhura) in a leadership role. Not as a mammy or a maid or a cook. Unfortunately those who do not remember the past are doomed to repeat it, so here we are. |

LordReed:Appeal that what? While the family of those he killed still get their tax dollar to feed him Imagine if it gets commuted to life, then this animal Dylan gets to live for 70yrs while the life of those who did not offend him gets taken away for whatever reasons How do you expect the family of the victims to feel |

GloriousGbola:The myth that life was easier in the 50s, even for white people, is a just that, a myth. Basilico dodged my questions because he likes to live in an alternative reality where facts don’t matter. |

It takes a special level of buffoonery to say people were happier in the 50s. This totally disregards the experience of black people. The only people who were happier in the 50s were white people. If you can’t see that because you choose not to see things “through a lens of race”, it means you’re totally disconnected from your own identity. It’s not a flex. Unless you think only white people are humans. Therefore when assessing happiness only their happiness counts. If we make American great again to be like the 50s, you will not be part of the prosperous class. You’re going back to fighting for civil rights. I can’t believe we’re having this conversation in 2025. A group of black men who want to go back to the times before they had the right to vote. I’m nauseated 🤢 The 15th Amendment to the Constitution removed racial barriers to voting in 1870, but states continued to practice voter discrimination and continued to deny Black voters a chance to participate in elections. |

| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by bemeruca: 7:24pm On Apr 10, 2025 |
descarado:Lol. Watch people from the 50s speak about how strong they were even with all the struggle they were going through. Not the ijebos of today who loves the victimhood narrative. They used abortion and welfare system to destroy the black community that was progressing. King and others fought for nothing for modern day black culture. All the suffering and beating they took in the civil rights movement was all for nothing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k_hGNksmKDE |

basilico:happiness is all about money? Any conversation that doesn’t take the very vital component of American history which is race into consideration is null and void. Because your dollar ain’t taking you nowhere when you can’t even buy a house in the neighborhood you want. Dull conversations without nuance irk me |

cococandy:You just don't understand. Despite all the things against the black man then, morally, mentality and value wise they are better than what became of the black man after that time. Malcolm ex told us about the white people leading blackmen to burn down their communities during the BLM movement. Today, people who did not witness slavery and all the horrors of those days are more effected by it than people who took all the hardship from slavery and segregation. |
