Third World Living in the USA

[gatomontes99]

Quote

Vincent Everett Elison

Today's Democratic black community in America is a dystopia. Consider Detroit, Chicago, Philadelphia, Memphis, Los Angeles, Portland, Seatle, Atlanta, New Orleans, St. Louis, Baltimore, Milwalke
Richmond, and so on. Whenever there is a large black population and Democrats are in charge, blacks live like subjects in Third world
countries. They are hellscapes-part zombie apocalypse, part Mogadishu.

This is the forward from the book "The White Privilege Album".

I think Vincent is correct. But I was listening to the Author (AJ Rice) describe the forward and he said he wanted Vincent (aka black superman) to write the forward because it would lend more credence to the book.

And that is why I posted all of the above. Why do we need to have people of a certain skin color make statements for those statements to be considered?

The answer is because the left believes the validity of opinions are based on the color of the skin of the author. We, as the right, need to stop feeding that troll. I would agree with what Vincent said regardless of his skin color. The left won't agree with what he said, but they will adjust their tactics.

I can't control how racist the left is. But, I think I can convince those that are on my side of the political spectrum to not play the left's racist games. Don't put people on your forward because it deflects the left's tactics. Put people in your forward because they make good points.

What an exaggeration. to think that someone living in Richmond is living in the exact same conditions as someone in Bangui, Central African Republic or Paramaribo, Suriname... Such blatant hyperbole makes the author's content unreliable.

This is a strawman. 

No where do I see this person saying "exact same"

In fact, the piece quoted clearly says "like" 

I guess this makes your commentary here completely unreliable.

This is Edmonton 2022.

There was some kind of bug going around in 2022. Homeless people were getting severe diarrhoea. It was horrible. People's intestines would literally burst. 200 homeless people had to be hospitalised. .

The point of the statement was that living conditions for blacks in democratic cities are worse than anywhere else in the country. It is probably a little bit of hyperbole to say third world.

But the bigger point, that I wanted to discuss, is that we shouldn't allow the racist left to dictate who has credibility and who doesn't have credibility with regards to racism.

As a devout communist, partialobserver gets offended when people (especially conservatives) aren't up to speed with the different types of squaller.

Interesting obfuscation. You are the one that is coming off as being offended or worked up. Even your comrade admitted that it was a hyperbole.. interesting.

What am I upset about? I already know what YOU'RE upset about, but what am I upset about?

You must be upset or you would not be motivated to respond. So what about my pointing out the hyperbole has you so upset. The poorest in America still live fairly decent lives if you stack them up against Sub-saharan Africa or most of South America. This is easily proven.

Both groups have shitty lives, which is the point. 

But you, as a devout communist, take some weird form of special pride in classifying the poor as if that is massive significance. Who gives a shit? They're all poor, and their lives suck.  

The BEST way to look at it is to see how many American citizens we can get, or keep, out of poverty.

There are degrees of poverty.. I know, I have lived it. The desperation of someone living in Bangui, Central African Republic is so far greater than someone in Baltimore. This is like comparing a Porsche 911 to a 6-volt Power wheels and saying that they are both vehicles.

Nope. It's like comparing an abandoned old wood outhouse to an overused public port a potty; both are repulsive, but the latter is only slightly more comfortable, but not enough to make any real difference.

I have been homeless. Guess what? There are resources available in the US that are nothing but fantasy in places like the Central African Republic (CAR). There are no food banks, shelters, or soup kitchens. Nor can you donate plasma, recycle cans, pawn your stuff, etc.  Jobs are scarce unlike the US. Lastly there is no church or charity to assist you along.

Living on the street in the US.. you mostly get left alone as long as you leave others alone. I was on the street for 8 weeks in Salt Lake City and well.. it was quite boring. Life was never in danger as opposed to CAR.

Doesn't matter - both conditions are shitty, yet you are still trying to sell homelessness in America. 

And how woke of you to equate a Porche 911 to squaller in America.

Sell... you are quite the master of obfuscation. So if I say that Penn State defeated Boise State in the 2024 Fiesta Bowl by the score of 31-14, what am I selling? Pointing out obvious, verifiable fact is not an act of promotion.

They're both still football teams. 

You're trying to tell me that poverty in America is a Porche 911, when it's clearly not. 

PSU is a better team than BSU, but they're both still football teams. 

US squaller is better than African squaller, but it's all still squaller. 

The point here is, that you have a weird attraction to poverty and you take great pride in assigning class levels to the poor. 

How marxist of you.

To be poor in America is a far different ball game than being poor in CAR, Sudan, or Cameroon. There are so many resources available to someone in the US. If one wants off the street in the US.. it can be done. Maybe not in one day but soon enough. The only real major obstacle is mental illness. Difficult to do stuff if you have no idea where you are or how you got there. 

If one is in Bangui, CAR you face incredible odds. No soup kitchens, shelter, free bus passes, free cell phones, etc. The fact that you can't see the difference is interesting.

If righties and lefties looked like this it would make it so much easier for us to have a proper war over our differences.

Nobody's disputing that poverty in the US is better than in Africa. The point is, that it's not THAT much better, and it's certainly nothing to aspire to. You seem to think that poverty is a good thing. I'm here to tell you that it's not a good thing. In fact, it's a very bad thing even for the few ldiots who seem to enjoy it. 

YOU love the dynamics of poverty; in fact, you've taken the time to designate different levels of poverty, and you get offended when non-believers misclassify your precious poor. Why can't you just admit this?

The claim that living conditions for the average black person in, say, New York City, or L.A. or Chicago is worse than those living in the rural methtowns of Mississippi, Alabama, or Tennessee demands some supporting evidence.
