Leftist With a Klan Hood gets his Tail Kicked by Black Trump Supporter: Hilarious (Video)

Minority status doesn't make someone unqualified. However, minority status doesn't make someone more qualified in order to meet some quota you believe in.

To the racist Right it does by definition.

To a racist like you, it's called an excuse because you support quotas.

Quotas for the qualified.
The Right never bitches about legacies, or nepotism which advances the unqualified, they only bitch about anything that advances qualified minorities.

If I want to hire my child, cousin, sibling, etc. to work for MY company, tough shit if you don't like it.

So you believe in hiring the unqualified.

So you automatically believe that someone's family member getting hired means they're unqualified.

I'd hire a family member over a dumb piece of shit like you any day.

 

[Roudy]

Are you claiming legacy admission equal racism?

You had to take an admission test for college? What state university?

What The Fuck U. Ha ha ha.

I've earned 3 degrees, 2 of which are advanced, over a 20 year period. Not once did I have to take an admission test to get in.

Wasn't referring to you.

I understood that. I was reinforcing your statement about edthecynic.

I had to take the SAT to get into College, and I had to take a dental test, which included carving a piece of chalk to get into Dental School.

We all know why Obama got into all these great Ivy League colleges, even though he didn't have the grades, which he refuses to show and has them sealed under lock and key, right?

Carson on the other hand worked for and deserved the recognition. You see the difference? Democrats are free loaders.

Google "common application" and you will see this is what most colleges now accept, even the Ivy League. It's exactly what it means, it's a commonly accepted questionnaire that colleges have agreed to adopt to make it easier for prospects to apply to more than one school without having to fill out different applications for each. They do ask your race, and gender, and it's obvious why.

It clearly says it is an OPTIONAL QUESTION.

I am a minority you dumbfuck. The way I see it todays Democrats are practicing reverse racism.

And yet you support the people who say your minority status makes you unqualified for everything, which makes it hard to believe you are actually a minority anywhere but a messageboard.

I am an immigrant that is not of European ancestry, nor am I a Christian. I support judging people for who they are and their achievements, regardless of their race, color, or ethnicity. I find that the Republican Party fits best with that philosophy. Don't kid yourself, every Black or Hispanic applicant to colleges knows they have a big advantage of being admitted, over those in the general applicant pool. That's how it is in the real world.

I never had a college admission test that asked my race. Only after those who qualified on their tests and were called in for an interview had their race revealed. At that point it is another consideration for the school like legacy is. If you racists were bitching about legacy considerations in college admissions as long as you were whining about race, then maybe you could make a case that you are not the racists you are.

Hah? When was the last time you saw a college application? They have all adopted what is called a "common application" that everyone fills, which asks you to check one of the boxes for race: white (includes middle easterners and Semites), black, Hispanic, Asian. And then they have an even more ridiculous checklist for gender: male, female, bi, gay, transvestite, and "don't know", LOL.

So I guess if you're a transvestite half black half Hispanic you have the greatest chance of getting in. All in the name of underrepresentation. Ha ha ha.

Again a typical Right-wing half-truth whole lie. Ethnicity is an OPTION, you are not required to fill it out.

Ya right, an option. Just like many of them say SAT's and SAT subject tests are "optional". You are kidding yourself. The kids who are applying know those categories aren't really optional.

No I'm not. Ask some people if you don't believe me. Colleges unabashedly practice reverse discrimination. It is a known accepted fact that most high school seniors applying to colleges know. If you're black or Hispanic, you immediately have an advantage, hence the "optional" boxes regarding race. Nothing's wrong with it, if you aren't on the short end of the stick, eh?

"In 1868, the Klan elected its first Grand Wizard, Nathaniel Bedford Forrest. Decades later, his grandson wrote in the September 1928 issue of the Klan’s Kourier Magazine:

I have never voted for any man who was not a regular Democrat. My father … never voted for any man who was not a Democrat. My grandfather was …the head of the Ku Klux Klan in reconstruction days…. My great-grandfather was a life-long Democrat…. My great-great-grandfather was…one of the founders of the Democratic party."

All of which is irrelevant. Forrest was not a founder of the Klan; he was recruited BY it to be its figurehead. And in less than two years, he officially disbanded it, citing its out-of-control violence. Either way it was not a political outfit when he got there and it was still not a political outfit when he disbanded it.

So therefore, to conclude, the KKK were indeed Democrats? I'm just wondering how it is that blacks have been brainwashed to have such blind loyalty to a party that gave rise to the KKK?

Unfortunately for your blind partisan hackitude, there's no such thing. No political party "gave rise to the KKK" at all, and I proved that in post 467 and again in 557. Gave you a dozen links ALL of which refute that.

Moreover your original claim you're STILL trying desperately to dance away from was that the Klan started as a "leftist organization". I continue to challenge you to support that. You continue to run away from it.

You'll notice that virtually all of the support for blacks came from the Liberal north while the racism was primarily the conservative south. Until just a few decades ago, the south voted primarily Democrat, now they vote primarily Republican.

Regardless which party they belong to, the south has always been more conservative than the north and the north has always been more progressive than the south.

So therefore, to conclude, the KKK were indeed Democrats? I'm just wondering how it is that blacks have been brainwashed to have such blind loyalty to a party that gave rise to the KKK?

"In 1868, the Klan elected its first Grand Wizard, Nathaniel Bedford Forrest. Decades later, his grandson wrote in the September 1928 issue of the Klan’s Kourier Magazine:

I have never voted for any man who was not a regular Democrat. My father … never voted for any man who was not a Democrat. My grandfather was …the head of the Ku Klux Klan in reconstruction days…. My great-grandfather was a life-long Democrat…. My great-great-grandfather was…one of the founders of the Democratic party."

Moron .... again ... the parties switched. The racist south which seceded to keep slavery and which started the KKK was largely Democrat then.

Today, they're largely Republican.

Blacks were mostly Republican then. Today, they're mostly Democrat.

Blacks aren't brainwashed to vote Democrat. They're smart enough to recognize the racist conservative south switched from Democrat to Republican. Why would they support the political party of the racist south?

The parties didn't switch. You can put lipstick on a pig but it's still a pig. Democrats have managed to fool Americans into thinking they are the party of tolerance and equality. They aren't, in fact Democrats are the most intolerant fascistic people, with a strong vein American socialistic based principles. They divide and demonize Americans along racial, ethnic, and economic lines in order to gain votes. Just because they call republicans "racist" doesn't make them so. Republicans still call themselves the party of Lincoln. Blacks should learn the history of the party they are so loyal too.

There it is again -- the bottomless well of ignorance blissfully enjoyed by armchair wags who get their history from Googly Image meme generators and easily-refuted blogs with no links.

In the mid-18th Century the RP became the home of Abolitionists -- which means Liberals. It formed in 1854 out of that group and out of the Whig Party (Lincoln had been one), which believed in Big Government. The Whigs fell apart because they could not reconcile between themselves how they wanted to proceed on slavery, so the new Republican Party took on that faction that wanted Abolition. The Democratic Party at the same time was the conservative home of "states rights" and smaller decentralized government.

Given time, by the end of that century and after several political successes, the RP started taking on the interests of the corporations and the rich, while the DP absorbed a growing populist movement ---- which is how it came to be the choice of, and sympathetic to, immigrants... minorities ... trade unions and the like.

To pretend political parties just sit there in one ideological spot and never budge through time is to expose oneself as eminently ignorant. Politics doesn't work that way and never did.

Probably because the Racist Right think so little of their reasoning ability based solely on their skin color!!!

Says one from the side that used skin color to pick the current President.

And they're about to vote for another person just because she's a woman.

Link?

Name calling and slogans sound good to shallow people. But it was the Democrat party that had a history racism. That is clearly evident.

You are the one implying Blacks are stupid enough to allow themselves to be brainwashed for being uppity enough to not agree with the Right.

The left has made it clear they believe blacks are by promoting such programs as affirmative action. They claim they want people to be judged on qualifications and character but use the very thing they say is wrong to use when it comes to hiring, admitting, etc.

AA allows QUALIFIED minorities equal opportunity, only racists see minorities as unqualified and therefore conclude that AA means AA jobs go to the unqualified.

AA uses a factor that if used to deny would be something you called racism.

Only racists support a program that uses race to benefit while claiming using race is wrong.

That's interesting, since the beginning of modern AA is traced to Richard Nixon and the Philadelphia Plan --- and since the first AA programs in history were land grants to freed slaves championed by the Republican Party...
