President Trump - Page 247 - Politics version 7.0 -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

Wait, I thought the right usually uses "race hucksters" to refer to people like Jesse Jackson that they believe make everything in politics about race. Now slave owners were "race hucksters"???

Total logical consistency here, lol.

Jiggy might want to pull out a map and look at what president former slaveholding states voted for, btw, since he's dangerously close to a "Democrats are the party of slavery, Republicans are the party of Lincoln" hot take coming up. (if he hasn't already made one ITT, that is, maybe he has!)

I believe that's a 'race hustler' and a 'race huckster' is something completely different.

It has to do with your comment about "trivialization". Pointing out that since race hucksters can no longer legally "own" people, they've turned to political power and enacted social programs to keep non-whites in poverty has a lot to do with Mayors of large, impoverished cities.

Where in the Wikipedia article on Contemporary Slavery is this discussed?

I had to google "race huckster" because I was thinking the same thing, but the results show it being used basically the same:

Urban dictionary definition (basically same as "race hustler", uses Al Sharpton for its sample usage)
On "Fox Nation" someone calls Bomani Jones of ESPN a "race huckster"
This likely hate site (so maybe don't click this) calls Shaun King a "self-promoting race huckster of devious racial composition"

My unattributed understanding of slang suggests: Hucksters deceptively hustle.

Mike Hucksterbee is a religion hustler. Peddles, hustles, discrimination-enabling religious policy deceptively hidden under a label of religious liberty.

You think only black people can be race hucksters? Rahm Emmanuel would you like you to hold his beer.

The 2016 GOP Platform contains the following language:

Quote:

Traditional marriage and family, based on marriage between one man and one woman, is the foundation for a free society and has for millennia been entrusted with rearing children and instilling cultural values. We condemn the Supreme Court’s ruling in United States v. Windsor, which wrongly removed the ability of Congress to define marriage policy in federal law. We also condemn the Supreme Court’s lawless ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges, which in the words of the late Justice Antonin Scalia, was a “judicial Putsch” — full of “silly extravagances” — that reduced “the disciplined legal reasoning of John Marshall and Joseph Storey to the mystical aphorisms of a fortune cookie.” In Obergefell, five unelected lawyers robbed 320 million Americans of their legitimate constitutional authority to define marriage as the union of one man and one woman. The Court twisted the meaning of the Fourteenth Amendment beyond recognition. To echo Scalia, we dissent. We, therefore, support the appointment of justices and judges who respect the constitutional limits on their power and respect the authority of the states to decide such fundamental social questions. (p. 11)

So, it seems like a strange way to try to score a point for the GOP. If you support gay marriage, the Democratic party has the better position on the issue, regardless of whatever shortcomings the party has had in the past (of which there are many), or the position of any single candidate. It's not as if there has ever been a point in time where the GOP as a party has been a better choice for LGBT advocates than the Democratic party.

Great, let me know when Trump appoints a Supreme Court justice or signs legislation to overturn Obergefell. To be fair, we are a big tent though.

I'm not even going to dive into the ridiculousness of the Democrat Party platform, but there's plenty to cherry pick.

That aside, Jesus Christ how ****ing racist do you have to be to regard RAHM EMMANUEL, of the 2006 Blue Dog wave, teacher union strikes, and Laquon McDonald coverups, as a race traitor?

Rahm Emmanuel!

Huh? I have no idea what this above babble is but you referred to slave owners as "race hucksters" as if current "race hucksters" (most of whom, according to my google search mentioned above, are black people according to the people that actually use this term on the internet) have something in common with slave owners. How the **** does that work?

He's not a race traitor. He promotes racial and identity to politics to ensure his grip on power.

He's right. The Democrats do everything they can to ensure they keep a stranglehold on the minority vote.

I'm sure there is deep, deep concern over their last turnout. They rode a crazy Obama wave and thought they would keep that kind of enthusiasm. Turns out they were wrong, and they had white Democrats switch sides in droves.

They have huge problems right now and they know it.

^ this is the idiocy you said before. Words mean things, and above you're implying that plantation owners are a subset of "race hucksters", while here:

you're saying they're different groups, which ****ing obviously they are. But then your original post which tried dearly to tie plantation owners to current "race hucksters" makes zero sense anymore.

This is just a general request - could you please try harder to not write such stupid posts with such glaring problems in them? Thanks.

An Anti-identity political identity fits for supporters of this regime. Nice and contradictory plus virtually meaningless. Stupefying when willingly ingested.

In case you couldn't follow - the plantation owners have become the race hucksters. Sigh. I know it's difficult for you. Which, btw - you do know the plantation owners are dead, right? I just want to check and be sure here.

Again this is the sort of free advice I can give out with no fear of it being followed because right wingers are so ****ing bad at this, but your "Republicans were the party of Lincoln, Democrats were the plantation owners" line would land so much harder if there wasn't currently a partisan battle where the GOP is ****ting their pants in tear-streaked rage tantrums over left wing efforts to remove monuments to the Confederacy.
