The problem is when you look at the conservative news channels. You hear the rhetoric or the code words EX: MAGA They are not speaking of inclusion, they are not anti-discriminatory. Since 2016 threats against members of Congress have gone up every year. People have become more emboldened. EX; Proud Boys or the great replacement theory. You listen to Trump, he actually incites violence. Trump said with love in their heart, they were wonderful and patriotic people. he incited the violence on Jan 6th. Domestic Terrorism has become a bigger threat. In Minnesota trump, while visited on the campaign trail, said .In 2016. They are a large number of Somali refugees coming into your state, joining ISUS and spreading their views makes Democratic congresswoman Omar's life in danger. People listen, words matter especially coming from the ex-POTUS. Here he is in 2024 , trying to get reelected. Im hoping not all conservative racists and this includes some liberals also. We as black people can not be lazy, we must vote, We must remain vigilant about the things that matter to us.

MAGA was more an economic movement than anything and really the phrase is just boilerplate sloganeering that has been used by both parties in the past.
Yeah, both sides of Congress. You can also add in threats to the Supreme Court justices over Dobbs. None of which have anything to do with race, it was political disagreements.
How many videos do you need to see of Democrat politicians using violence tinged language regarding disputes? I got Maxine Waters, I got Obama...
Define Domestic terrorism. Would that include the large number of crisis pregnancy centers and Catholic churches that were vandalized and/or victims of arson? Would that include flash mobs that show up and loot stores? Does that include people who drive by on a scooter and shoot 80 year old men in the back? Does it include 15 year olds who spray gunfire at each other in every major city in America fighting over "turf"? Did it include those who rioted across America for a cause they believed in, burning police stations and attacking federal courts? Or is it just your political enemies acting up on Jan. 6th that account for this huge rise? With all this domestic terrorism happening all over, perhaps you can provide some links to back that up.
Were Somalis being picked up for terrorism? Does claiming Omar is attached to a terrorist group make her life any more in danger than you suggesting that all of your political opponents are racists attached to domestic terrorists? Or does that only apply to your political opponents?
Yeah words do matter. See above.
I would encourage you to go interact with some conservatives with an open mind. People are people, you will find assholes in both groups and you will find just generally good people as well. The world isn't as negative as you believe but nobody can tell you that, you have to go discover it on your own.
I imagine that line of thought sells pretty well to the white supremacist crowd too.
Not the point.
None of the Loyal Nine, who later took on the name "Sons of Liberty", were either farmers or plantation owners. They were merchants and tradesmen, but not especially wealthy or prominent. They resided in the city of Boston, or very close by. They avoided publicity and operated in complete secrecy.
We know their names.
Which ones are you claiming to have been slaveowners? Provide evidence, please.
John Avery and Thomas Chase, Boston distillers;
Henry Bass, a Boston merchant;
Stephen Cleverly and John Smith, Boston braziers (people who worked with brass);
Thomas Crafts, a Boston painter;
Benjamin Edes, newspaperman and owner of the Boston Gazette;
George Trott, a Boston jeweler;
and Henry Welles, a shipowner
Feel free to also include their friends who joined the cause, such as Brewer Samual Adams or silversmith Paul Revere.
While they were not an anti-slavery organization, I am unaware that any of them were slaveowners.
Over 100 people participated in the Boston Tea Party and we don't know everyone involved. There were even more members than that of the Sons of Liberty. Simple statistics would indicate that some of them were likely slaveholders because that wasn't the issue at hand (and therefore would not be a barrier to entry).
obama did not speak of violence, he spoke of inclusion. you are hurt when i call your conservatives out. The Dems did not attack the white house or try to kill us congressmen and women. The Dems did not try to kidnap as sitting US governor. I have lost all respect for the GOP. BECAUSE YOU GUYS did not try to stop it or condemn it. You guys will vote for trump again in 2024. I would encourage you to stop listening to lies and people who try to steal the govt. Burning police stations,who have members that belong to the kkk or are white supremacists, WHO kill unarmed citizens or used chokeholds because they feel threatened Thet only serve and protect white citizens.
Nice backpedal!
from those evil slaveholders!
to "well, there were a lot of them, and we don't know them all, so just based on probability, some of them might have been slaveholders!"
No... you made the claim, so you give the evidence. Name a slaveholder who led or who even participated in the Boston Tea Party.
"If they bring a knife, we bring a gun." Google it.
Steve Scalise asks, "Do I mean nothing to you?"
Nope, just shot a Congressman and threatened the life of Supreme Court justices.
Looking around and don't see you guys doing anything about the above. Fun how this works.
Like you all continue to vote for your poor leaders.
Likewise my friend.
Speaking of encouraging someone to stop listening to lies....
I wish this were true.
Does education matter?
Does reading matter?
Does ability to do basic math matter?
Does paying for merchandise matter?
Does Freedom from Drugs matter?
Does random black youth shootings matter?
If all black kids who graduate from high school could read and do math at grade level, the doom loop of intergenerational Black under achievement would begin to crumble. But reading and math skills don’t matter to you, do they? You don’t need to lobby government for a damn thing to do that.
But nooooo….. what matters to you is taking a piece out of whitey.
Not in so many words. But he had to know that his messages about police, , criminal justice, excusing bad behavior and petty crimes, and other fundamental change would exacerbate discontent which would lead to violence.
You do not understand the plight of black people, you do not want to accept the part whitey play in all of this. Those things above do matter. Why do you underfund our public schools? Why did you red-lined us? Why do you discriminate in education and jobs? Why is there such a widespread wage disparity as of 2020 70K for whites and 41K for blacks? Almost double? Why did you take our farmland Why do you try to prevent us from voting? Why did you strike down AA but left legacy alone? Why do police kill unarmed black people? Why do you still have sun-down towns in 2023.? Why did you try to overthrow the Govt? I could on and on. You want to ban books so people will forget the role our history plays. A lot of the problems above are caused by whitey drugs, crimes not all but some.
Do you know how the urban slave economy worked? Many slaves were in the trades. If John Henry needed masonry work done at his distillery, he probably rented a slave from his owner. When they say slaves Helped build the White House, this is what they are talking about.
he did not incite, because he is black no matter what he says white people would hate him. They did not want him POTUS in the first place.
Nice backpedal!

He wasn't throwing the tea off the boat but he was an instigator.
Sir continue to listen to all the lies. your mind is made up. Again you want to overthrow the Govt. You can not have your way so you send wonderful and patriotic people to the white house.
Man this is news to me. Not only do I want to overthrow the government (I don't) but I also sent people to the White House somehow. In the words of Palpatine, "Unlimited Power!!!!"
Just stop.
I’ll stipulate that our racial history is shameful But no slave owners and no slaves are alive today. History is not a current event. Your post explains why in many areas of the world, thousand-year-old grievances are the root causes of violence today. We can do better. Kamala is fond of saying we should move forward unburdened by what has happened before. Why do you insist on our history being a burden? We have the means, the will, and the economy to move forward together, except those who prosper by perpetuating the past won’t allow it. So, vote Democrat and nothing will be solved. I guarantee it.
Just like Lucy but the other side of the coin
yes, he could not have won without them but look what's happening because he was elected. for every advancement, people try to take them away. 1POTUS 1 JUSTICE, now they took away AA. They are trying to take away minority scholarships.It is the sorry state of America.
Why banned books? Why strike down AA? Why is it still almost double wage disparity? Why do you still red-lined?
Notorious Whitey Clarence Thomas helped take away AA.
Because they were pissed off at the election. Basically the mirror of everything being portrayed in your postings.
Riots were how we had political disagreements in 2020/21.
^^^ still too dumb to understand English words combined into sentences ^^^
Let me spoon feed you:
The Colonials who protested British rule during the Boston tea party dressed up (in that case, like American Indians) to hide their identity so they would not be arrested by British soldiers.
The modern "progressives" who hit the streets to protest the alleged failures of society to honor and celebrate and join in their sex lives do not try and hide their identities to avoid prision - they dress to shock and annoy and then complain when someone acts shocked or annoyed.
PS - have you gone into a female dressing room and made any biological female (< that is now a phrase of hate speech) look at your penis yet? If not, you are a transphobic bigot. Get progressive or suffer! No job for you!
Thanks for the totally obvious and patronizing history lesson, Pops. When you start posting in that condescending tone, as if you are imparting some valuable nuggets of wisdom, I know that I have really gotten under your skin.
Cheers.
Democrats in the summer of 2020, causing Trump to have to be moved to a safe room.
All anybody can do is throw around accusations of who was worse because certain members of each party didn't exactly cover themselves in glory during that time period.
Don't you want to overthrow the government that is holding down you and other black people?
I know.... I wanted to zing him with it, but you beat me to it. lol
No, Lucy doesn't go on like that. He doesn't waste his time being a professional troll.
