In Defense of Black Republicans

[theworldismine13]

LOL
Wow, I've never heard of that one before: Associate with racists (while discriminating against your own people), so you can increase your power. Are you as dumb as you sound or you're just trolling?
That's akin to suggesting that MLK should've banded with Strom Thurmond so he could have nice cushy benefits for himself (and somehow obliquely for black people).
Yeah, black folks should've supported the GOP's efforts at suppressing their vote this year and Romney/Ryan's economic policies.

Its the same difference, black people supported Biden and Clinton deploying the prison industrial complex and they supported Lyndon Johnson housing black people in "projects", the GOP does not have a lock on bad policies

the strategy of looking for friendly white folk only goes so far as raw political and economic power

Cushy benefits is not raw economic and political power, but yeah if mlk would have gotten with storm thurmond to make himself a senator or governor he should have done it

I question republicans because of how misinformed they generally are.

I question BLACK (and Hispanic) republicans not only because they are likely misinformed with how the world works these days, but because apparently don't realize that the word "conservative" and the way most conservatives STILL view things has worked against us minorities since this country was founded.

Do they not realize why the republicans are softening their stance all of a sudden? Did Obama winning really lead you to believe that both parties are pushing for complete race equality? You want to get into politics? I would hope that you would take a "liberal" approach and start your own damn party if you don't see eye to eye with the democrats. The LAST thing I will accept is to say that you see eye to eye with conservatives without an exhaustive explanation as to why you do so. That immediately is a contradiction to 99.9% of us minorities given their history and have every right to be questioned by us.

Did you forget the birther nonsense that just happened with Obama? The "conservatives" still very much hold on to their old ass archaic beliefs. I would argue that even if Obama was NOT born here...what difference does it make at this point? Would it have been so catastrophic that it would have taken this country to the ground? Old ass beliefs and you expect minorities to take you seriously as a black (or hispanic) republican? Being called a c00n almost immediately is almost justified.

Would there be an uproar if a future president "might" have been born in Ireland by the Republicans? Probably not.

Yeah, we definitely should've supported the GOP's efforts at suppressing our vote this year and embraced Romney/Ryan's economic policies.

I've been trying to wrap my head around this for a while

Black republicans typically agree with the moral platform presented by the right, it's not so much a "black agenda" that they are part of or failing to see.

It's pretty easy, all you have to do is stop thinking like a runaway slave and think in terms of offense instead of defense

 

[theworldismine13]

How come nobody has explained why they have and will support the architect of the so called prison industrial complex, the big homie biden

I can explain it using my theory, how do y'all explain it using your "good white folk" theory, is Biden "good white folk"?

 

[NZA]

is there anybody in here believing in a good white folk theory?

is there anybody here that has spoken out against Biden being the architect of the prison industrial complex? How do y'all justify supporting this "cac"? Lol

I support Biden based on my theory of black people, in this case Obama, making a raw power move, what's y'all's explanation?

i asked about "good white folk" theory. voting for either party will leave you with policies you dont like. that's a given in national politics and it absolutely will happen if you vote republican. but specifically, i want to know some examples of people in here promoting a good white folks theory as opposed to a voting strategy that any other demographic votes for (lesser of two evils, etc.)

can we make this theory more concrete?

The examples are all over this thread, whether you call it lesser of 2 evils, my criticism remains the same, it's not the appropriate strategy if you want to be an actor and be pro active, the lesser of 2 evils is a defensive reactionary plan

is the republican voting block pro legalization? and if not, how would their votes be overcome?

I dont get your question. Was there a memo passed around that we are all pro legalization or that it was a priority? I must have missed it

in the context of the prison industrial complex and the laws that feed it most.
