Of course he does, he was a dope.

Deflection. Answer the question.

Cite required. Yeah that's kinda my point. What are you talking about, "legislation"? They are both cars tho? So you don't have a problem with people identifying as a different gender but won't actually do them the courtesy of addressing them as such? Kind of a dick move imo. Examples? I'm trying to get you to understand the social construction of gender, but I worry that might be too much intellectualism for you.

Tucker's Interview With Putin
Black Dog replied to WestCanMan's topic in Federal Politics in the United States
I think the reason you want Russia to win is that the triumph of a right wing autocracy is the only thing that gets your withered old pecker to move a bit. -
I know you believe this: I'm asking you what specific policies or pieces of legislation did Democrats pass to cause this problem? Because my personal view is that the Republican led War on Drugs and associated mass incarceration did more to destroy Black families than any "welfare incentive". Not that Democrats are great on that score either as Clinton's Crime Bill did unfathomable damage to communities that were already reeling. But there's also a larger point that the vision conservatives have of the Black community as full of thriving happy families living in prosperity until the Dems gave them food stamps is a pernicious myth.

It's funny when people blame the welfare state for the supposed destruction of Black communities when the poverty rate for Blacks prior to the Civil Rights Act and various Great Society programs like food stamps was above 50% compared to below 20% today. I don't think anyone was put on the street to commit crime; rather those communities were effectively criminalized and overpoliced. Take, for example, the the 1986 Anti-Drug Abuse Act that established mandatory minimum sentencing schemes that gave harsher punishments for crack than powder cocaine (a white people drug). Again, downstream effects of marginalization and criminalization.
-
So what do you think getting free glasses somehow makes up for or counteracts the tremendous damage settler policies have inflicted on those communities over the course of 150+ years?
-
The explosion in single motherhood in Black communities coincides almost exactly with the explosion of mass incarceration under Nixon and Reagan. I suspect there's a connection there. These exist in red and blue states, how is that a Dem problem? Again these are effects downstream of policy. Then it shouldn't be too hard to name some specific policies or pieces of legislation. I'll wait.

not an argument. -
That's literally what happened with the indigenous people of North America you utter tool.

You're very specific about the harms and very vague about the specific things you think caused them.

Why Leftists Are So Unhappy

The sentences are incoherent ramblings of a dementia sufferer, there's no substance to them or connection to any argument. The institution of chattel slavery in America was a white supremacist one and the participation of some people of Black or mixed race ancestry doesn't change that it the least.

There are a number of nominally Jewish organizations that lobby on behalf of Israel. For example, the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs recently hosted a conference attended by all three major party leaders and is pushing for official recognition that anti-Zionism is antisemitism (a view you would seem to endorse). Also it's hilarious to see a statement like "Jews are Canadians" uttered with such solemnity when it wasn't so long ago that Jews were barred from many professions and industries and Jewish immigration restricted as a matter of government policy.

Republicans? I agree!
