Black Americans are part of American culture. Many people died to free the slaves and we had the civil rights movement, and all of that is American. The western belief system is what ended slavery starting with the British iirc. Slavery still exists in plenty of non white countries, which is what I'm complaining about, you know, not importing those cultures into our country. See, you've been taught to hate our country even though we've been a shining beacon of freedom for a long time, we're freer than anywhere else in the world, yet you still try to down the nation that's freed the slaves and had the civil rights movement. You're proving my point in my eyes

He only sees the worst in 'mericans, especially if he thinks he can blame Tean Red. Pinko Commie.

Those stuck in the past are doomed to repeat it. The left sure does love to bring up the past.

They only bring it up when they think it makes 'merica look bad. They're not keen on the tale about America ending WW2 and then rebuilding the Axis economies. What county drive the technology revolution? The Pinko Commie left has no grasp on reality.

Only the parts that make America look bad. They've totally forgotten about any good we've done.

The left has selective recall when it comes to history.

That's just not normal. Should my son hunt down the English people responsible for the plight his Irish side of the family endured? Should he go to China and seek reperations from the ChiComs that wiped out everyone but my mother on that side of the family? What a bunch of twits.

I wonder if this timing has anything to do with the protests in Mexico:

And where did you see most of that stuff pre-Cival Rights: Democrat controlled southern states. Once they no longer had racism anchoring them to the DNC, those states slowly but surely turned red.

You're joking, yes?
You think that it was only in Democrat states that racism was openly practiced?

Segregation states, prior to Jim Crow.

Alabama-Democrat
Arkansas -Democrat
Delaware-Republican
Florida-Republican
Georgia-Democrat
Kentucky-split
Louisiana-Democrat
Maryland-Republican
Mississippi-Democrat
Missouri-Republican
North Carolina-Democrat
Oklahoma-Republican
South Carolina-Democrat
Tennessee-Republican
Texas-Democrat
Virginia-Republican
West Virginia-Democrat

What kind of delusion makes someone think that racism only occurred in Democrat states?

I''ve voted DNC more times than GOP and voted 3rd party way more times than DNC & GOP combined you moron.

And yet, you label me a libtard, with no knowledge whatsoever of my voting history.

Must be that collective narcissism that makes your opinion always correct, huh?

"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it," is the phrase.

The right sure is quick to foget the past. Or maybe they choose to ignore it?

Let's try trickle-down yet again, even though it failed all the past attempts.
Let's try playing big-shot with tariffs against countries we do business with, even though they called our bluff the last time, and we caved the last time.
Let's vote Republican again, hoping they'll get the economy right THIS time.
Let's vote Republican, hoping they'll reform the healthcare system THIS time.
Let's vote Republican, hoping they won't raise the debt more than the Democrats do.
Let's vote Republican, hoping they'll get immigration and border security right THIS time.
Let's vote Trump, hoping he'll drop the fekking "stolen election" bullsiht THIS time, and focus on moving the country FORWARD.

History seems to repeat itself a lot for the right. And not in a good way.
Maybe someone should bring up the past, and use it when making future-affecting decisions.

So they caught the people responsible?

Don't even bother trying to say it was Democrats, unless you want to say they were lying in wait until the day she turned on Trump, so they could make the right look bad.

If that's where you were going, it would be perhaps one of silliest conspiracy theories I've heard to date.

Without catching the culprit(s) there is no way to know their political affiliations. No facts, just feelings. That's no way to make determinations... right?
