COMMUNITY United States Politics Thread: Trump's Second Term



If Biden or Barry had pardoned some domestic terrorists who then immediately went out and got re-arrested the media when never stop talk about it.. They would running about how a new crime wave is going to happen across the country.. But when Orange Goblin pardons a bunch of criminals & they go out and start committing crimes.. It’s nothing but crickets…
 
I'm not sure why I'm sharing this but I'ma stay out this thread for a while

Not because of anything anyone here has said or done but this shit is really fucking with my mentals. I'm tired of reading shit getting worse literally by the day and I'm losing my ability to compartmentalize everything.

Well I am getting tired of the bad faith debaters but I'm still mostly able to just disregard their bullshit and keep it pushing but overall, this shit is just depressing af as these white people are fucking lying in 4k and it doesn't seem like there's nothing that can stop them

You're missing the point. I'm not taking about teaching black history to black people I'm talking about making sure everyone else knows the history. Yes, the Asians cared about non-Asians knowing the history. That's why they had tons of initiatives in place to raise awareness. You think they would have got that money if they only made sure the history was known within their own community?

Many people don't know the history of them Asians, I did not learn about in school and those folks still got paid. I did not learn about other folks who got paid with reparations. That history was not known to the black community.

How do you feel about the USAid being stripped? What's your take on it.....

I heard that it takes tax money away from the US citizens here and that money is used to fund those programs to fatten the pockets of those over these programs. I heard that the resources usually don't get to the people that it needs to get to.

What are you thoughts on this whole USAid situation

Has this been discussed, I'd like to hear you all opinions on this ordeal

What can be done to close the wealth gap?

Would that mean that policies have to go directly to FBAs and not other groups??

If you continue to elevate other groups, wouldn't that keep the wealth gap widen?

Using this example and you can correct it if it doesn't make sense

Black folks have 0 apples

Whites have 30

Asians have 15

Other groups have 10

If you give out apples to every group, will the gap decrease or increase? or stay the same? if polices are written under the Dems as "minorities" would that mean it would benefit all groups?

But what could a President do to decrease the wealth gap with FBAs?

You looking at it too simplistically. It’s not about handing out more apples, it’s about leveling the playing field for people to pick all the apples they can. If they keep removing our access to the tools necessary to pick more apples, the gap is going to widen. And that’s exactly what Trump is doing by making it ok for whites to discriminate against us in hiring practices. He’s trying to make it so only white men can pick apples.

This is a vague answer, and I am reading it as this leveling the playing field, well let's just open the door for everybody, which means everybody will eat the same food which again, doesn't elevate FBAs from the bottom

We still have to catch up.

Let me ask you this way then. Do you think "direct" policies need to go to FBAs to catch them up?
