(34,648 posts)I saw somebody on here complain that those immigrants at the border had 2 or 3 children each and that they are too poor to have 'that many' children. 2 or 3 is average for an american family, but some democrats here actually begrudge them that comfort. Apparently poor people should't have kids and should just ethnically cleanse themselves from the face of the earth like Shakers.
People on DU post black on black crime stats (never white on white) to 'prove' that blacks are more violent.
We are tired of being treated by both parties like an after thought or a special interest group that they can use for votes and then ignore us or tell us that all of our problems are because of the 'breakdown' of black families ( they say that from their soapboxes of liberal truthiness), praising the founding fathers( that wrote slavery into our laws), and being stupidly nostalgic for times long past that would suck for us ( anybody thats is brown or female).
Liberals forget sometimes that they won't win without the black vote or the youth vote or the gay vote or the female vote. They spend too much time trying to placate the middle and trying to pull conservatives to our side and waste time on independents while forgetting their own voters.
Instead of just doing the right thing and saying fuck what republicans think, we bullshit ourselves into a position where our own voters don't trust us to be any different than the otherside.
