He says that he is a prime example that America is not a fundamentally racist country because if it were it would not be possible that he became a US Senator.
They said they he is an exception to the rule and that until ever African American can become a Senator the country is still racist. Seriously.
America is not a fundamentally racist country
Don't they know that some white people are not electable as well?D-train wrote: ↑Thu Aug 17, 2023 9:03 pmDid you guys see the dumb bitches talking about him on the view.

I'd love to see State Dinners in a prison somewhere. Actually, it wouldn't surprise me if Trump got Epsteined if he was in prison.Grandma Lynn wrote: ↑Thu Aug 17, 2023 3:35 amCan you run a country from

You probably realize I'm a pretty analytical person, and I don't think I know what "fundamentally racist country" means. Of course I've heard the term, but it seems like it gets thrown around a lot in conversation and intellectually-sloppy writing. Kind of like "hurricanes, wildfires, and floods made more likely by climate change."
It WAS fundamentally racist. Now all forms of racism other than affirmative action are illegal. Are there racists and examples of racism in the country like all countries, of course. Does systemic fundamental racism still exist today? Of course not. It is just made up nonsense by politicians to convince people to vote for them and by some groups to claim they are victims that should be entitled to benefits they don't have to earn and don't deserve.gil wrote: ↑Fri Aug 18, 2023 1:43 pmYou probably realize I'm a pretty analytical person, and I don't think I know what "fundamentally racist country" means.

That said, I'm not going to deny that when the US was founded (1776) there had been slaves here for over 100 years. Or that slavery was legal in parts of the US for the first 90 years after that. Or that in many places there was effective disenfranchisement of former slaves and descendent of slaves for the next 100 years. And discrimination in university admission, housing, public facilities, etc. So yeah that is our history, but is that "fundamentally racist"? If I knew the definition, I could opine.
