I miswrote that and corrected it. I meant to say Biden, not Trump.

Yup and this my friends, is why I put communist/anarchists on ignore. They will lie and do much worst than that to further their agenda. They want to burn down our property. They want a revolution. Why argue with someone who when they lose a fair election, want to burn down your property and abolish the police?

To respond to this directly--I think you are racist if you vote for Trump. Sorry if that wasn't clear.

this is still completely false that biden is "more" racist than trump. its a ridiculous argument premise anyway, but your conclusion is not anywhere close to true.

trump has been sued multiple times inducing by the US DOJ for his business policies towards african americans going back decades, he's been sued multiple times for racial discrimination by his employees, central park 5, birther, racist towards the mexican judge that ruled against him...with literally ZERO remorse. and those are just what i can think up quickly off the top of my head.

its not even remotely close comparatively to bidens poor statements that he later clarified and/or apologized for

Here's another example of racism I've profited from. This just came to me as a huge issue that I should have known better than to partake in.

When I bought my first home I sent a picture of my wife and myself and wrote a letter to the sellers. My real estate agent told me it's a good idea because sellers often like to sell homes to people who will be perceived to take care of the home and be positives to the neighborhood. Two young professionals seemed like a desirable group! So, we wrote the letter and attached a picture from our wedding. We got the home.

Years go by and we upgraded our home. I asked my realtor about the letter and she said they aren't legal anymore because lots of evidence showed it ended up with white couples getting houses, and minorities not getting them.

I was a total cog in the racist system with my actions. Racism in home ownership is a huge piece of the entire wealth suppression system.

Yeah, I've definitely seen suspicious stuff with regards to that. People are so emotional now and I know police brutality exists, so I'll just "assume" that it happened... No conspiracies allowed...

yeah +1.

i dont think you were necessarily racist the first time. but you are CLEARLY in with the racism the second time.

I'd say on this, ive heard a lot of real estate developers in new york got hit by these lawsuits. You are in business for like 50 years in the casino/real estate industry, might get sued.. idk, he had a lot of employees...

Property ownership plays a huge role in generational wealth, which is why things like redlining make our financial system extremely racist.

To take that a step further, my soon to be born daughter will be born into generational wealth because I am gaining so much equity in my home(s). Playing into the "please sell to white couple, we keep neighborhoods nice!" system shows how little racist systems can cause generations of inequity.

lol!!! i like how mets keeps trying to prove to birdman that biden is a racist even though birdman has been calling biden racist forever

Damn, maybe you should give your money to a black person in reparations? Tell your daughter "sorry, i dont want be involved in systemic racism anymore" and actually do what, you want to vote for, or what you want people to burn down communities for? Or are you fine just sitting on your cozy couch...and just voting for other people to do stuff and feel morally good?

i had an ethics professor in law school that made us read a blind study about bankruptcy procedures in which almost unanimously applicants with african american sounding names got worse advise from bankruptcy lawyers and were put into programs where they were required to pay more of their debt back than applicants with white sounding names, keep less of their assets, and stay in the bankruptcy program longer.

eta- and i believe that was normalizing for the fact that white people in general tend to own more assets that survive bankruptcy than minorities.

chim thats why your commie friends dont believe in inheritance, or property i guess

are you not a full on commie? its nice to own property... its nice to be able to work your way up. if you didnt get that house, u wouldve got another house lol

dont be a idiot, you earned that

Wow, that's crazy.

I wish I had the self awareness to not send that letter. I'm advantaged enough, I didn't need to involve proving my whiteness to help my chances.

We all are a part of it, and all have things to learn.

This is wholesome.

taxpayers will probably care about schools losing money

you cannot in good faith say if you vote for trump you have to be racist but you can vote for biden and not be racist

it's not logical

its a lie

filthy

if you vote for trump, are you racist?

if you vote for biden, are you racist?

i can't believe you got them confused!

the police, as an institution, are merely an instrumentality

how they are wielded and by whom are questions that should be kept separate from whether they should exist to begin with

if trump is more racist than biden, then in a decision between the two, picking trump is the more racist decision

QED

It's perfectly logical and I explained it. The Democratic party, as awful and terrible and racist as it is, has historically (and I'm referring to basically Reagan and after) SLIGHTLY favored anti-racist policies as compared to the GOP. Support for social programs, less aggressive tax cuts for the wealthy, etc. I am not sure if you are going to make me litigate why these things are slightly less racist than the GOP but I'll refer you back to my post about median wealth of whites compared to blacks. Given black people have way less wealth than white people, when you pass policies that are less disadvantageous to poor people, that also makes them less disadvantageous to black people.

People are wrong to think that elections and "less of two evil" voting is ultimately going to fix the underlying structural issues I have mentioned. But being wrong is different than being racist.

piggy-backing on my previous post, you should stop seeing racism as a binary "is or isn't" personal quality


everybody harbors some racial bias, even if innocuous

Well thank god you don't write for Webster's, because your definition ****ing sucks.

Yeah, this. People really need to accept that basically all white people that are raised in America are going to harbor some latent white supremacy.
