Was "Black" the Key to Get Americans to Destroy Themselves?
I'm mid-60's. Repukes have thrown shit-fits for decades trying to destroy the New Deal. It seems "Black" is the color they were looking for all along. It's the color the ignorant see and the color that can make them go out and burn down their own house as the plantation owner laughs up his sleeve and sees a whole new bunch of slaves in the making. This is the 150th anniversary of the Civil War. We destroyed the lives of 623,000 then using the "race" card (fight for my rich life-style you white trash 'cause you don't want them Blacks marrying your daughters)! This time we will be destroying the lives of all but 2% of the population. Democracy cannot survive ignorance and ignorance is our most cultivated crop in the US of A.

3. Orpup---I fear that
Obama was their "Rebel" battle flag reborn..only this isn't the crossed-bars. It's just all Black. This is how they can get masses of people to literally destroy their own means of survival.

2. It can't possibly survive ignorance, and on top of that gullibility, and on top
Edited on Sun May-15-11 08:49 PM by RKP5637
of that those proud of their ignorance and defending their ignorance by just about any means. We had a good run of it for awhile after WWII, but in the 21st century we're headed for really serious grave problems. Far too many Americans are easily manipulated by race, fear and religion.

9. It is, isn't it. The perpetual crap spewed by MSM is one of the
significant root causes IMO of this mess. MSM sets the tone for many of the misunderstandings, unrest, untrustworthy news and hatred in our society.

4. There are some in luxury.
That want people to sacrifice, so they can do whatever they want.

They want people to follow the values of caring and sharing, while they take anything they can.

Then they call people that care, and share suckers.



It is important to understand they think that way, but with sharing and caring comes the hope that they will find understanding before they get in a perpetual loop where they never can be helped.

Sure a purge would be easy, but it is better to try to help those that think caring is being a sucker, before it is to late for them.


I know how they think, they use it to try and break caring people. They say things like why do you care about them, they are just people.


That is exactly what enforcement is for, in an imperfect world. Although I think education is better. Although enforcement must be with compassion and justice, also why torture is so horribly wrong.

7. I don't put that in every thread.
And actually it is them that try to forget that I am due beer and travel money, and many experiences.


Some combination of rationalization, and willful ignorance, very sad, but I still think education is possible, the alternative is just to horrible to think on.

8. The surge of plain and open racism since the 2008 Election has been personally shocking to me.
I grew up being taught that racism was a problem of the past, and I believed it, until 2008.

11. I really did too. I thought we, as a nation, had gone far beyond racism. In 2008
I thought I detected it, then I noticed some more, and then it became blatantly apparent out and out strong racism had manifested itself.
