Black conservatives

You know the “ain’t blacks”.....Every time they are trotted out on TV, I already know what they are going to say

- I left the Democratic plantation
- I think for myself
- Black people like to be victims
- what about black on black crime
- America is great and isn’t a racist country
- I am not African American, I am American

And my favorite is that “Black people talk about race too much”, even though the only time they are on tv is to make a comment about race.

You ain't black

1. As a black man, I agree and have said the same thing
2. The only people outraged, or should I say fake outraged are white racists and the “ain’t” blacks, matter fact, a lot of the “ain’t” blacks are the same people who like to say “I am not African American, I am an American”

Trump can't fake empathy

Just listening to this impromptu conference and he mentions that we can’t forget about the people who lost their lives, but it had nothing to do with what he was talking about. It’s like he thought to himself, “let me try and look sympathetic”

Tiffany Trump graduates from law school

https://www.cnn.com/2020/05/20/politics/tiffany-trump-graduation-law-school/index.html


Found this part strange

A White House official told CNN Trump has invited his daughter to the White House Wednesday to congratulate her in person


Isn’t that something you would say about non family member?

Sunday morning news shows

Earlier this week someone posted a thread and the posed the question on whether the US could ever end this divisiveness that’s around today. People correctly pointed to Rush Limbaugh, Drudge, Breibert, FoxNews, Twitter, etc.... as the reasons for the polarization. But as I am watching this morning’s Sunday morning news shows, I realize they are to blame, too. Yes, they aren’t biased as the aforementioned other media, but their problem is this that they try to hard not to be bias. They legitimize the right wings argument by playing the “both sides” thing, they don’t do good follow up questions when they have a conservative guest on, and they don’t call them out on their lies.

I use to be a Democrat

Sorry for the title, but wanted to grab your attention. However, the title is related to what I have to say......I have been seeing a lot of phrases like this on twitter or some other site, but then these former “Democrats” mimic talking points from the far right or have a crazy devotion to Trump. And my thinking is that if someone is a former Democrat then no way they can be that divisive and turn into a right wing nutcase, I can buy them changing and becoming a moderate republican, but not full blown crazy....so I guess my point is, when people claim to be former Democrats, but now talk like a right wing nut job, then are the pretending to be a former Democrat?

Philadelphia in the east, Pittsburgh in the west, and Alabama in the middle

Now I understand what that means
