Their policies are basically racist policies. I believe it’s a racist party. Donald Trump is just the opposite. He’s he’s going to tell you how it is. He’s going to give it to you straight."

I agree. Democrats have racist policies. It’s a racist party.

      Amazing, some people will fall for any old lie if it fits their agenda.

      Great article, thanks for correcting the record on this.

      However, Fisher was listed as a director in BLM RI’s articles of incorporation with the state in 2020.

      In late October, Fisher posted online an undated photo of himself within a group of people wearing BLM RI T-shirts. Dantzler is shown at the far left of the image. Dantzler did not immediately comment on the picture.

      So yes, he was part of the BLM RI in a director capacity.

        Yeah weird. So director, but possibly not founder, as the headline says. Then he got fired for some reason.

        It seems like a lot of republicans don’t really like BLM, so I wonder at the reaction to a former BLM member endorsing the Donald.

        I didn’t realize the Democrats were so racist. What’s an example of a democrat racist policy?

            There are also arguments that elite liberals encourage housing segregation on a local level. But I still think overall Democrats do far far more for minorities, even if a lot seem to be doing it for their own smugness in “helping the less fortunate.” Contrast that with the few token gestures Republicans offer, while still being largely racist and stuck in the past.

              Democrats have done more to harm black people than help them. Republicans strive to treat all people the same and provide equal opportunity for all people. Welfare is just another Democrat attempt to keep black people in slavery.

                If that’s true, why does the KKK currently endorse Republicans?

            Well I read the article, and the guy has an interesting perspective but he doesn’t really mention any specific policy. It’s super funny to accuse leftists of commodifying anything.

            I feel like I Don’t really accept this argument, because it goes so counter to my own personal life expeeience.

            The political party of Jesse Jackson and Rev. Al Sharpton, the party of Barak Obama is the racist one? I know the Democrats had a bad past, but it’s not 1865 anymore. I’m not trying to be a smartass. The party of Jimmy Carter? Say what you want about him as president, we can all agree he wasn’t great, but racist? Not Jimmy Carter.

            There’s a lot of bad things to be said about the democrats, and there are a lot of policy decisions that could be criticized for their consequences, but racist doesn’t seem like a serious charge.

              Racism is their most serious flaw. Yes the party of Jesse Jackson, Rev. Al Sharpton and Barak Obama is the racist one.

              Remember the comments Biden made about Obama? That is typical for Democrats.

              I do not think Jimmy Carter was racist. One of the few Democrats I can say that about. While he was an awful President, he was a good man. I wish we had more people like Jimmy Carter in the world.
