How does affirmative action NOT help black people?!?
It helps a few black people, but the majority of aa benefits go to non black people
So unless aa is reorganized to go specifically to black Americans then it's not that big of a deal of trump ends aa

This forum has a thread dedicated to Tulsi Gabbard. If you don't think fukkery is afoot I dunno what to tell you. It's blatant and obvious. It's a fact that 2016 was marred by a deliberate effort to depress the black vote by inflating the voices of nonsensical extremists who either argued Trump wouldn't be bad for black people OR that Hillary was worse.
2018 showed that an energized and educated voter base can make good decisions. But that's not gonna stop certain types from trying the same 2016 playbook next year.

The door was open for you to quantify what Trump has done against black people and you bring nothing. Typical
The government shutdown that almost bodied the world economy. The fact that nearly half of government workers are black almost starved to death during the 5 week shutdown . As well as taking away healthy lunches of the Obama administration program that his wife Michelle was a part of, so now, your kids are eat in garbage at school.

That happened this year. You nikkas have been yapping about this boogie man long before that...Really?
This is the best you can do?
Really?
This is the best you can do?
Do you care about black kids in public school eating crap? Do you care about the black middle class that are government workers that constantly worry about shutdowns? Do you care about net neutrality that will forbid you from logging on to the coli without paying a $10 fee? About prison reform and unfair drug sentencing that the Trump administration rolled back on?

I had 3 people tell me that Trump would bring back chattel slavery if he got elected. 3 full grown ass adults w/kids.
This is why I’m excited about the#aados movement, now people will start taking us seriously politically, without these child-like arguments getting in the way.
They're making him out to be some type of boogieman when black people should be weary of all politicians in general...
Hopefully you're right about that movement, but I'll have to believe it when I see it...

Black kids are eating crap inside and outside of school. Again is that the best thing you can do? The gov't shutdown happened THIS YEAR and yall have been whining about him for 3 years now.. That aint it. Just man up and say you cant quantify why he's the boogieman yall try to make him out to be.
And again to be clear, since most of yall are "this or that with no in between" type of thinkers, I do not trust Trump. I do not think he likes black people or that he's for black people. But I dont think any president is and feel that this is the attitude that black people should start having instead of expecting a politician in this country that has told them for 400 years they dont belong to come around and save/help them...
Im willing to hear you out on the net neutrality even though that affects everyone and I asked what did specifically against black people. And I ask that specifically because people on here act as if you're an agent if you dont treat Trump as the boogeyman.
I'd like to see what you have concerning prison reform and "unfair drug sentencing" that they rolled back because last I heard, he was pardoning people....

My kids eat what I buy for them and what my wife prepares for them. Why is it the governments responsibility to provide our kids with a well balanced healthy diet?

List of Obama-era civil rights initiatives that the Trump Administration has rolled back
Here's a list of Obama-era civil rights initiatives and rules that the Trump admin has rolled back so far:
- One of the first things Trump did when he got into office was reverse Obama's criminal justice initiatives related to closing private federal prisons and he also stopped all investigations into police departments having been excused of brutality.
- He had the Justice Department drop its long-standing positions and investigations into voter ID laws meant to keep blacks from voting.
- Trump's Department of Housing and Urban Development rescinded a proposed Obama-era rule that would have required more justification for public housing agencies seeking to demolish public housing projects in urban communities.
- Trump reversed a rule requiring large companies to report worker pay by race and gender in order to decrease the wage gap through greater pay transparency.
- Repealed Obama-era regulation that restricted drug-testing for job seekers receiving unemployment benefits.
- Trump rescinded Obama’s 2014 Fair Pay and Safe Workplaces meant to apply 14 labor and civil rights laws to federal contractors, who now will no longer have to provide documentation of their workplace practices.
- Rescinded an Obama-era Justice Department letter that asked local courts across the country to be wary of slapping poor defendants with fines and fees to fill their jurisdictions’ coffers.
- The Department of Labor changed its interpretation of a law regulating when contractors can be held liable for employment and civil rights law violations
- Overturned the sweeping criminal charging policy of former attorney general Eric H. Holder Jr. and directed his federal prosecutors to charge defendants with the most serious, provable crimes carrying the most severe penalties
- Attorney General Jeff Sessions ordered Justice Department officials to nix reform agreements with troubled police forces nationwide.
- Gutted Lifeline, the program dedicated to bringing phone and internet service within reach for people of color, low-income people, seniors, veterans, and people with disabilities, with particularly egregious consequences for tribal areas. They also voted to eliminate several rules promoting competition and diversity in the broadcast media, undermining ownership chances for women and people of color.
- the Trump administration announced it would terminate the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) designation in 18 months for approximately 59,000 Haitians living in the United States.
- the Trump administration released new guidelines that allow states to seek waivers to require Medicaid recipients to work – requirements that represent a throwback to rejected racial stereotypes.
- the administration announced its decision to bar citizens from Haiti from receiving H2-A and H2-B visas.
- the Office for Civil Rights at the U.S. Department of Education released a new Case Processing Manual (CPM) that creates greater hurdles for people filing complaints and allows dismissal of civil rights complaints based on the number of times an individual has filed.
- Attorney General Sessions announced the Justice Department’s ‘school safety’ plan – a plan that civil rights advocates criticized as militarizing schools, overpolicing children, and harming students, disproportionately students of color.
- Secretary Ben Carson proposed changes to federal housing subsidies that could triple rent for some households in urban communities and make it easier to impose work requirements.
- the Department of Housing and Urban Development announced it would be publishing three separate notices to indefinitely suspend implementation of the 2015 Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing rule.
- Secretary Ben Carson proposed changes to the Obama-era Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH) rule, which aimed to combat segregation in housing policy.
- the Department of Justice filed a statement of interest opposing a consent decree negotiated by Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel and Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan to overhaul the Chicago Police Department.
- the Department of Justice ended its agreement to monitor the Juvenile Court of Memphis and Shelby County and the Shelby County Detention Center in Tennessee, which addressed discrimination against Black youth, unsafe conditions, and no due process at hearings.

You cant quantify why you dislike Trump. And most people cant without doing their googles. Its okay, just man up and admit that...
I just did my taxes and I have a couple thousand reasons to hate trump right about now. He and the Republican Congress fukked me over by capping mortgage interest and property tax write offs. The extra $30 in my paycheck definitely wasn't worth it.
