If you’ve never read Cannibals All, it’s worth the time. It mocks capitalism (dog eat dog, thus cannibalism) and argues black men are incapable of competing in a free market and therefore slavery is the better alternative because the slave masters will provide food, shelter, clothing, healthcare, etc. Things that free labor does not require.
Replace slavery with communism/socialism and the arguments seem to be the same.
I’d be curious if anyone believes this doesn’t align with left wing thought
Cannibals all! or, Slaves without masters by George Fitzhugh
I’m not by my computer so I’m not going to attempt to do the more in depth reply I intended on doing today (hopefully tomorrow) in regards to the underlying left wing philosophy and how it’s views on what is best for black America is no different than that of slave owners.
But this one quote from the actual founder of critical theory (where critical race theory is derived from) is one of the most obvious examples and shows why the left openly mocks freedom. They believe freedom and justice are opposite ends of the spectrum and to maximize justice you must minimize freedom.
I haven’t read the book, so I can’t comment on anything from that. And maybe I can learn more from people with a different viewpoint. But I guess what you’re getting at is something I’ve been talking about with some of my liberal city friends for years. They are white and live in Manhattan. They are quite well off. They have doormen, house cleaners, nannies, etc. All are non-white. All come from a different burrough. Residential Manhattan is 60% white, but is heavily supported by people of color who commute in from the Bronx or queens to work in the “service industry” to support mostly white residents. Then they commute back to their less affluent, and higher percentage minority, burrough.
They are mostly able to rationalize this by saying those people are paid well and pay high taxes to support services for all of NYC. But I think there’s a deeper issue. I just wish there was a clearer way to fix it.
It's pretty well known that Nixon insisted on tough laws for marijuana possession. People spent years in prison for 2 ozs. It created an overwhelming prison rate for African Americans
That was the goal of the tougher laws
He served one term. He didn't try to run again later. The first part of your first comment is true, but the programs established weren't set up to destroy the black family. It may not have worked well, but at least blacks weren't sitting in the back of a bus, eating in a less desirable section of the restaurant, having to go to less desirable bathrooms and segregated to certain schools in other parts of their towns.It's just as well known by most that LBJ was racist, and created welfare state to destroy the black family and secure their vote. Love how you rushed to post that response unrelated to video without watching it though.
Psst and what party was responsible for that? It wasn't the Republicans.. Hey who set up the KKK as a political action group to attack Republicans? again...let me think on it...but at least blacks weren't sitting in the back of a bus, eating in a less desirable section of the restaurant, having to go to less desirable bathrooms and segregated to certain schools in other parts of their towns.
You're right.1960's Dems were ultra conservative in the South. Just stating the events of the time. I was commenting on LBJ and his policies.Psst and what party was responsible for that?

This is what this movie is literally about. You're right to be outraged by those things. I agree with you. However you been brainwashed to blame the wrong people. It is imperative to the DNC, that Democrats be as ignorant of their history as possible. Watch the film.
Black people arent in prison at higher rates due to marijuana laws. They’re in prison at higher rates due to far higher rates of violent crime

This is the inconvenient truth. That was also several decades ago that weed charges were getting people locked up. Even in red states like Tenn and NC, nobody is going to prison over weed unless you're running a grow operation or a distribution network moving massive amounts.
The welfare state destroyed the black community. Democrats did it, and it was intentional. Their garbage ideas (or usual total lack of ideas) are such that nobody would vote for them, so they needed to buy voters in order to ever win elections. Still the same way today. See: illegally importing at least 15 million illegal immigrants in the last 4 years, followed immediately by what everyone KNEW was coming. Elizabeth Warren announced within 1 week of Kamalas announcement to run " Kamala will make a pathway to citizenship for ALL Immigrants. She can get it done."
Nothing new. They will play the Latinos just like the black folks, to their incredible detriment. Meanwhile they push ever more perversion on the masses, screaming about "inclusion" and shouting normal folks down as a racist, sexist, transphobe, xenophobe etc. What's upsetting is anyone with 2 brain cells knew exactly what the plan was with the Dimwits carefully orchestrated invasion...they don't even try to hide their evil deeds anymore...and nobody besides Abbott in Texas did anything to try and stop it.
Welcome to the Democrat Plantation, Amigos.
Paying ancestors of a country that's an ocean away? You been taking syntax lessons from Biden?The joke is going to be on the Latinos (and Asians, and dot Indians) one day when they wake up and realize they’re now paying reparations to ancestors of a country that is an ocean away.
He never said that. But he was a fairly racist old southern white guy. Glad the party progressed beyond his type.....which is why the south turned red.
I guess it depends on what you consider massive amounts. I know someone who went to prison for selling green. Less than 10#'s.This is the inconvenient truth.

Have you ever considered that you still view the world through the lens of the 60's?You're right.1960's Dems were ultra conservative in the South. Just stating the events of the time. I was commenting on LBJ and his policies.
Characterizing my post as outrage is both silly and ignorant. I witnessed those times first hand and comment on it. You're the only one who is outraged. In fact, your posts are outraged all the time. It's well documented
