Why didn't you quote the entire thing breh? :mjgrin:

Because I asked you specifically about yourself and you decided to tell me about your cousin. Do you know how to directly answer a question?

So your life got better with a white supremacist in office?

I like how you edited your post. I said my life got better on paper.

From a purely economic standpoint, on some selfish shyt, I'd probably do just fine regardless of who is president. But I'm an exception and I've "made it" because my dad made it because there were programs (funded by the government) that allowed him to know of what was out there opportunity-wise beyond his small town.

I've also probably been a beneficiary of affirmative action in the schools that I've been able to go to. Education I've been able to receive, etc.

Republicans are trying to destroy the pathway to a come up that myself and a lot of other more well-off blacks have had. Again, all you have to do is pay a smidgeon of attention to this.

And were I to want to step shyt up and take it to the next level, having a black business, republicans are also inclined to undermine policies that would give me a level playing field to do so against white-owned businesses.

Educate yourself: Newly released emails show Kavanaugh wasn't a fan of this affirmative action program

This is a supreme court judge that WOULD NOT be up for consideration if Hillary had won. This has a direct effect on the economic prospects of black businesses and black people.

I directly answered your question in the first line of the response. Point is, your question is a shyt question. Are you really suggesting, in aggregate, black people's lives aren't effected by Trump being in office vs. Hillary?

Just because something was done intentionally doesn't mean it exists or is done on the same scale into perpetuity.

Slavery was intentional as was Jim Crow. Both were dismantled legally / via policy.

If you espouse this defeatist view, what's your explanation for why slavery ended? Or why voting rights were given?

Slavery ended because of industrialization. No different than going to war because one half of the country is still using mules to pull plows out in the field, and the other half has invented the tractor and can get more production and efficiency that way. The half that’s modernized isn’t going to allow the other half to hold everyone back because they’re stuck in their old ways and “customs.”

Simple as that. Ending slavery was good business.

Same as with voting rights. Why continue to fight us over voting and risk tearing the country apart again, when you could give us the vote, while at the same time making sure we always voted for who we were told to. And we have, faithfully. Keeps the illusion of inclusion going. Voting doesn’t really matter for whites either, but they don’t know any better than most of us.

You don’t have to figure any of this out. Our scholars have already been through all this. All you have to do is read and study your history. Then study white folks history back at the founding of this nation. They tell you themselves that your vote is basically worthless. And they’ve shown as much at least twice in recent memory. The Bush fiasco down in Florida and this last go round with Trump. That was the system working exactly the way it was designed to.

Yeah and that's why I only responded to that line. I'd be willing to bet if you asked the average black person how their life would be different under Hillary than under Trump they would have to think really hard to find a difference.

You must know and live with pretty privileged black people to actually think this. And I'm not just talking under Trump, I'm talking under republican leadership. I just gave you a direct example of policy changes impacting my fam.
