Got a link? can't find it.

Yeah I dig this thread because at the end of the day, the goal is the same though we have differing thoughts on how to get there.

See, like I said, your hang up is not really policy, is it rhetoric. You do not know what policies would help black Americans, so you need a politican (or anyone) to be as explicit as possible, and spoon feed it to you, so you can know. But if it helps any none black people in the process, you dismiss it.

You are not being progressive, you are just being reactionary.

Seeing RustyShackleford RustyShackleford break down his background of college and all that **** makes a lot of sense. Most _'s with that background are ready and welling to go to war for democrats. :lol:

Because they acquired the tools to observe the system and understand how it works and why the decision makers do the things they do.

Until things change, this is a 2-party system set up to exclude any opinion that cannot be voiced within that context. On one hand, you have a group of people who have written off large sections of the country and have decided to game the system to stay relevant (GOP); on the other hand, you have a group of people who try to represent a very wide range of folks who don't recognize themselves in the first group (Dems).

You sit on the sidelines and talk about "they ain't doing nothing for us!" When proven otherwise, you say "that's not enough." When shown that it's taking us in the right direction, you disparage the messenger.

You're just a professional complainer.

Of course not.

I wish it were not the case but that is the situation we are caught in

Which is exactly why black people need find candidates that they can hold accountable. We love to talk about how much Obama didn’t do, but what are black peoples policy demands? How connected are you to your local representatives? How exactly do you want these changes To show up in your life? People wanna be out of touch with policy but then complain about who isn’t helping who.
 
Again nobody is asking for somebody to run ONLY for black people.

"You're complaining"

Says the man who got upset when he was asked for specifics by a black person. You don't know about real policy, you need everything labeled certain way to feel good about it.

Like I said, reactionary as hell.

Bruh it's nothing you've said that had me upset. I don't get upset having these discussions with my boys or family so somebody on here damn sure ain't making me upset.

You do get triggered when somebody questions one of your democrats.

How is describing the way things are = being OK with the BS?

What makes you think that I am OK with what's going on?

How do you plan to solve problems you don't want to understand?

#CancelRusty

I don't recall ever having a discussion with you to know what threads I have ruined for you, and I don't post in that many threads. If you don't like the content of my post, or the debates I engage in, that's unfortunate but I don't really care.

If you don't like what I post, just block me. Simple
