I think Harris has a strong chance to win the nomination if she can peel older black voters in the Southern states away from Biden. Whoever wins those black voters - and the dynamic with black voters in the Democratic primary is typically that one candidate gets the overwhelming majority of their support - will almost certainly win the nomination.
Aren't black US citizens less accepting of homosexuality according to polls? Might be either that or that Buttigieg just is a lousy establishment shill. Probably the latter far more crucially. "0%" is quite the accomplishment.
It would make sense for most black people to vote for Kamala just cause she is black, though going by youtube democrat black show-hosts: they are pro-Bernie.

Hmm you are going to have to hold my hand through this one then. Because I can sort of see why you might think that, but it wasn’t intended as that just as the CCCP comment about a Chinese immigrant wasn’t being intended as racist.

I know. I even understand that you were constructing a silly scenario to respond to actual cartoonish racists. Still, I just feel that tying warlordism to Omar's identity as a Somalian is problematic. I didn't really have the same reaction to the tying of Chinese people to single-party rule for whatever reason.

Yea I can see why that would be problematic if the context itself was problematic. Since my general take is that any group is subject to being ran by warlords despite race I will just say that was not my intent.

I'd bet Trump has more black friends than Hillary or Biden, but are you guys arguing the white Democrats who put those black people in prison are not racists and the guy who tried to give them their lives back is a racist?
That would be fun to prove but sure you can't.
I haven't heard one person here claim that. It is possible that they all were racists.
And wasn't that bill passed by both houses before Trump signed it?
Too give him all the credit for that seems a bit unfair.

Some may not be so anxious to admit it given how they'd be attacked, but I'd bet money he has more black friends than Hillary or Biden. That was Trump's bill, he ordered the reforms - if he doesn't do that people continue rotting in prison because white Democrats put them there. Maybe we can ask the black people he freed if he's a racist. If they're all racists and you guys support some of them, aren't you supporting racists? I'm going to assume the people here who voted for those white Democrats dont think they voted for racists.
Are you talking about the prison reform? That's the expansion of a successful test pilot project from the previous administration. Sometimes governments actually try to be good at governing.
Again, you're just guessing on the black friends thing. But since Trump hates poor people, based on percentages you're probably in error.
I think the fact that it was passed because of bipartisan support claiming either side has the better moral claim based on it, is kind of silly.
I'll give that one a draw, and focus on other items that aren't. Trump has a long record. Some dems do also. I will not defend either.

It's interesting to see how the Berzerker subject has become so identified with the Trump subject that he is engaging in the same tactics with only a slight difference in wording, roughly to the condensed form ‘no i'm not a racist you're no u sad’.

Oh boy, this might be your chance to join millions of others in the experience of being cost a lot of money by Donald Trump!
Hey, that reminds me, can you explain why black people vote for the Democrats by 90-10 margins? Are they all too stupid to see that Democrats are the real party of racism?
