He fukked himself up when he said he didn't support the Civil Rights Bill in full. He can never come back from that.

I'm surprised this guy is such a flip-flopper. Even though I don't like his father, most of the time he showed consistency in his positions. dThis guy has flipped flopped on so many issues he will be Mitt Romney status by 2016.

ive tried to think about where they're coming from with the shyt about the civil rights bill. and in order to be all about letting the states decide for themselves on everything, cant they kinda NOT really support the bill? because it took the decision out of states hands?

obv im not saying shyt should be segregated, im just tryna think why the fukk they would say that :heh: saying "im against the civil rights bill" isnt exactly a savvy political move

He supports the right of businesses open to the public,who use public interstate highways in one form or another, to discriminate against people on the basis of race.

Why do you think he flip flopped on that position?
Businesses who deny blacks will lose business. They will effectively commit economic suicide. He's right. Anyway, if I were to vote for a republican (not likely), it would be rand paul. A lot of his views would help blacks in America. And I think even he knows that.

Its a complex issue... well, depending on who you ask.

But, having the govt. force people to labor against their will, is a huge no no to some, regardless of the motive, and its a sentiment that is shared whether its against gays, women, Muslims etc. it isn't a f*ck black people statement like the left has ran with and made it out to be. Its a f*ck forced labor position... and one that blacks should support IMHO :mjpls:



Moreover, I'd argue that blacks were, and would be better off had we needed to rely on black businesses and our own community... but again, that's just my opinion.

5-6 yrs ago the bartender of a bar told me he didn't want to serve me a special and when i threw a fit he told me "they don't like my kind anyway". he didn't know i knew the owner. i went to the owner and he responded by saying.. well it was unfortunate it happened but he doesn't like black ppl in his establishment anyway. he constantly finds new "rules" to keep out black ppl. some for good reason. the only hiphop night brought him the most money all week. he got shut down for serving underage white kids for the other nights. he's now reopened but stopped doing the "hiphop" nights.
anyway, i stopped going to bars years ago and focused on myself and opened up a business a few blocks away from that bar. and he's having a hard time financially and will not stay open long. now he talks to me like we're equals asking me to buy up his place..
i would but i'm done with the nightlife.. with the smoking law in effect and economy shot there's no real money in it now. plus it's too much headache dealing with employees stealing. there are better ways of making money without the bullshyt.

i secretly thank his racist ass for stepping my business game up.

it's fine by me for business owners to "run their businesses however they want to". i also consider banning certain ppl from mine but they have money and this is business :patrice:

black love, unity, and music
regardless of what you nikkas are saying NONE of your favorite democrat politicians are doing any of this. Talking about these issues is ALWAYS a good thing, regardless of the outcome. But it appears most black democrats are too busy worrying about gay rights to be concerned about dealing with the injustices facing the black community that Paul is alluding too.

starting to think @DEAD7 is @Tom
Hes not tom...


The Civil rights movement was very weak to different people for different reasons... some conservatives feel that it violates certain roles of government... some cacs are just racist... some pro black people feel like it was a high level trap that sedated our people into feeling included while the real results were greater breakdown of unity, less black family structure, social programs that leave communities in a state of dependency, integration, allows Americans to pretend we aren't institutionalizing white supremacy, blacks beggin to sit a tables instead of creating our own, permanent slave mentality, etc.
There is a reason the civil rights movement was some fake shyt.... ask assata shakur.

Besides, we cant be so fearful of racist that we reject goos ideas... I don't disagree w what paul said about drugs or justice..
