Rules From A Right-Wing Black Man

[Lonestar_logic]

Lord, could you be more "puerile" and juvenile?
Bitch, you're white trailer trash, with a superiority complex, coming from where, who knows.
The name calling was initiated by you, and finished by me. Thank you....no sense in whining now...now that you've been embarrassed beyond reproach.
You're easy...in more ways the one, obviously. You've been manhandled (not your first time at the rodeo) and neatly put in a box, that you cannot extricate yourself from. Go play with children your own age. There is nothing for you here.

"... with a superiority complex,..."

It's not a complex, m'man.


Now, I have a busy day today....but have no doubt, I'll be around to give you another beating in the future.....



Let's remember:
....you're just another flash in the bedpan.

The only beating that is going to take place is that of your pudenda, that I'm going to give it.
Superiority "complex", bitch. Look atcha....you even have an avatar of some bimbo blond outfitted as "Supergirl". How transparent.

She kicked your ass six ways to Sunday. And I enjoyed watching it!

This might be of interest:

" On Monday, the U.S senate passed a non-binding resolution to apologize for its failure to enact anti-lynching legislation. The resolution states that the Senate "expresses the deepest sympathies and most solemn regrets of the Senate to the descendants of victims of lynching, the ancestors of whom were deprived of life, human dignity and the constitutional protections accorded all citizens of the United States."

More than 200 anti —lynching bills were introduced in congress in the first part of the century and the House of Representatives passed anti-lynching bills three times. However, the legislation was repeatedly blocked by [Democrat] Senators from the South and almost 5,000 people -— mostly African-Americans — were lynched between 1882 and 1968."
Senate Apologizes For Not Enacting Anti-Lynching Legislation, A Look at Journalist and Anti-Lynching Crusader Ida B. Wells



"During the early years of the Wilson administration (1913-1917), the Democratic Representatives submitted more racist legislation than had been introduced to any previous Congress....Southern Democrats regularly blocked the efforts of a few liberal Congressmen to pass protective legislation for blacks."
The Rise and Fall of Jim Crow | PBS



"However, the unstated causes that created the facts set forth in the resolution indisputably demonstrate that there is a specific group directly responsible for the Senate's egregious failure to pass an anti-lynching law. That group should join with the Senate and offer its deepest regret and humblest heartfelt apology to the families of lynching victims. Which group? The Democrat Party."

Bill Text - 109th Congress (2005-2006) - THOMAS (Library of Congress)
WHEREAS THE CRIME OF LYNCHING SUCCEEDED SLAVERY AS THE ULTIMATE EXPRESSION OF RACISM IN THE UNITED STATES FOLLOWING RECONSTRUCTION;


 Indisputably, the Ku Klux Klan was the primary domestic terrorist group responsible for racial lynchings during and following Reconstruction.


 The Ku Klux Klan was formed by the Democrat Party in 1866-1867 as part of their efforts against Reconstruction. [1]


 In 1871, as lynchings were escalating in the nation, a bill was passed in Congress to punish Klan violence; not one Democrat in the House or Senate voted for that bill. [2]

The Democratic Party you're referring to, is now known as The Republican Party. The parties switched ideologies, and therefore, legacies, during the late 60's through 1980.

",.......
Before Lincoln's election in fact, nearly every President had been a slave-owner or come from a slave state. And nearly every Supreme Court Chief Justice, as well as Senate and Congressional leader had come from the South as well. So, after the Grant administration (Republican) gave up on southern Reconstruction and withdrew Federal troops in 1877, when the rest of the nation had grown tired of struggle and turned its attentions elsewhere, these same boll weevils who had worn grey, flown the stars and bars, and waged treasonous war against their own nation and flag, proceeded by hook and by crook to wrap themselves in both that flag and the trappings of patriotism, in order to take over the governments of their southern states once again, regaining their seats in Congress and on the courts, and after waiting more than a century until President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act in 1964, they 'flip-flopped' and become Republicans.

It was during that century, when the American "picture" continued its long, complicated process of "turning upside down", and the entire historical landscape appears to flip politically and geographically-- that the previous analogy of an object being viewed through a magnifying glass that suddenly emerges completely inverted as the glass is moved further away from the eye, should perhaps be replaced by the more apt analogy of a tornado, which roars through a neighborhood, ripping the roofs off of houses, blowing entire buildings off their foundations, and so completely destroying the order that had gone before that not a thing that existed in that previous time is discernable in the chaos that results. For in many ways this period resembles just such a storm.

Fueled by war-time production and Lincoln's economic programs, northern industry began to grow furiously in the years after the war, giving rise to the early labor union movement and the first waves of consumerism. Swollen by the huge numbers of ethnic immigrants pouring through Ellis Island from southern and eastern Europe after 1880, who began their existence on the bottom rung of the new economic ladder, this labor movement found that by supporting the Democratic Party and being supported by it created some degree of counter-weight to the growing economic might of the so-called Robber Barons, mostly Republicans, who with their attempts at achieving monopolies in agricultural commodities and industrial raw materials along with their growing system of largely unregulated factories and hellish working conditions were methodically destroying Lincoln's dream of a rebirth of freedom. Having lost none of its racist underpinnings in the meantime, the Democratic Party embraced this new labor movement in northern industrial cities while insisting on the continued opposition of most early organized labor unions to opening their ranks to black membership, thereby turning and keeping blacks into a permanent, un-represented under-class of cheap labor, North and South, agricultural and industrial-- in many ways really no better off than the slaves they had once been.

After decades of such Republican economic policies succeeded in pushing the country over the brink into the Great Depression after 1929-- a cataclysm nearly repeated more recently by three similar decades of post-Reagan Republican policies which led to the Great Recession of 2008 (in which many economists believe a second Great Depression was only narrowly averted by a massive government bailout of the financial "industry" with an infusion of at least a trillion dollars)-- FDR was elected. Though he had typical racist sentiments himself, as did most white Americans to one degree or another at the time, but especially the leadership and the rank and file pro-segregationist Democratic party in the South-- Roosevelt's wife Eleanor was a social and economic progressive as were growing numbers of Democrats in the North and South as well as increasing numbers within the labor movement, and as the roots of the Civil Rights struggle began to grow, so did demands for many of the other great socio-economic reforms that were enacted during Roosevelt's three terms in office.

Harry S. Truman, who became President after FDR's death in early 1945-- finally and fully de-segregated the armed forces in the years before the Korean War-- and besides opening the floodgates of the Civil Rights movement this also resulted in the so-called Dixiecrat rebellion of southern Democrats against his run for president in 1948, although he was able to win without them, later going down in defeat in 1952, largely due to the intractable Korean War. During both of Republican Dwight D. Eisenhower's subsequent terms as President the Republican platform became increasingly pro-segregationist in an attempt to court these increasingly disgruntled southern Democrats, even as most northern Democrats began to realize that civil rights were going to have to be enacted in this country-- along with sustained programs to battle poverty, racism, and class disparities in the US-- if we were not to lose all credibility in the world as a bastion of freedom and democracy in our increasingly dangerous hot and cold struggles with the Soviet Union and Red China in varioius hot spots around the world.

And so in 1964, in the wake of the assassination of John F. Kennedy and amidst growing racial unrest in America's northern industrial cities and across the South, Kennedy's successor Lyndon Baines Johnson signed into law the first Civil Rights Act, guaranteeing federal protections for millions of black Americans across the country to begin enjoying the basic rights accorded citizens of the United States, and in reaction millions of southern Democrats became Republicans overnight. Progressive Republicans in the north had already been switching en masse to the Democrats since at least the Great Depression-- many in fact had begun leaving that party as early as the Bull Moose campaign of Teddy Roosevelt in 1910. And many progressive Democrats in the south were beginning to sympathize with the plight of African Americans as well-- who had supported the Republican party during the generations after Lincoln, while suffering horribly under the Democrats and Jim Crow laws when Reconstruction was abandoned, finally leaving the south by the millions seeking better lives and jobs in the north during and after WWI-- all of which set the stage for the two major parties to emerge from this period as nearly the ideological and geographical mirror images of what and where they had been in 1865.

Similarly, Republicans west of the Mississippi early on remained loyal to the party during this transition period when eastern Republicans were becoming Democrats mostly because the Democratic party continued to represent to those regions the party of the hated Confederacy until WWI, when this opposition began morphing through various stages-- first as the Democrats came to represent the party of immigrant unionism, painted by the Republican elites as creeping socialism and communism; then becoming the face of urban corruption and graft as the effects of the 18th amendment saw an increase in America's major cities of shocking levels of organized crime and governmental cooptation by criminal syndicates; and finally becoming the boogeyman of full-blown Red hysteria when Roosevelt's programs were framed as Big Government dictatorship along Stalinist lines during the crisis years of the Great Depression-- not much different from the Tea Party movement's contemporary attempts to paint the Democrats as both Communists and Fascists at the same time.

When all of these currents merged with the primal fears unleashed in the aftermath of WWII and the advent of nuclear weaponry, when the rising tide of the Cold War without and McCarthyism within began to lead to a national political dialogue characterized by increasing levels of hysteria and paranoia, these various strands of thought were welded together into the boilerplate by which the unholy marriage between the Military/Industrial Complex centered on Wall Street and the ideological remnants of the old aristocratic South were joined as one, wherein racism could be cloaked as states' rights, reluctance to bear a commensurate share of federal spending could be concealed as noble belief in small government, and oppositon to taxation became a mantra for the promotion of the general welfare a la such absurdities as the Laffer Curve and Trickle Down Economics (which would be called Voodoo Economics in 1980 by soon-to-be Republican President George H. W. Bush), even as the social upheavals of the Civil Rights era and increasing levels of popular opposition to the Vietnam War during the 1960s fueled Richard M. Nixon's paranoid law-and-order anti-communist movement, culminating in his Southern Strategy-engineered Presidential campaign in 1968-- a strategy we are still seeing the Republicans exploiting with excellent results despite its numerous logical contradictions today.

This great national/political party flip-flop is not well understood-- not only because tracing its course is a complicated process that encompasses well over half of our national history-- but also because many aspects of it, a few of which have been outlined here, are embarrassing to both parties. However, if Americans were to understand this process, it could well become the key to turning our nation around. The blue states used to be Republican, the red states used to be Democratic. Only the names have been changed-- not the geography-- and this was not to protect the innocent. Despite the name switch, the philosophies have stayed much the same-- even taking into account the massive levels of industrialization, urbanization, internal and external immigration, and technological transformation which have transpired in the interim. Lincoln, the first Republican President, was a tax-and-spender, a Keynesian before Keynes, who would today probably be ridiculed as a liberal, or probably much worse, by his stalwart successors in the GOP. A believer in government of the people, by the people, and for the people, Lincoln was not afraid to spend money to prime the economic pump of the national economy to help promote growth in the long run-- a thing which is well understood by the average farmer but has become anathema to the elitist Republican leadership of today. The southern Democrats (now Republicans) of Lincoln's day ridiculed his northern Republican party (now Democrats) as being the party of those whose honest work with their own backs and hands brought them home dirty or filthy at night, home from playing small potatoes with their own small businesses, or from grubbing in the dirt on their own small farms, rather than having enjoyed the leisure of being part of a ruling aristocracy, as the Republican elites do.

And in their arrogance, those landed-aristocrats in the 19th century were exactly right. With this enlightened tax and spend policy, Lincoln paved the way for the US economy to enter an era of unprecedented growth and for this nation to become a world superpower, for better or for worse. The southern Planter class of aristocrats is long gone, but the wealthy heirs of the Robber Barons have replaced them just the same. By first coopting, then undercutting, and finally villifying his policies althogether this new wave aristocracy has ensured that Lincoln-hatred in the South has been kept well-nourished-- fooling enough of the people there and elsewhere enough of the time to maintain their slight hold on the reins of political and economic power. But that the South is now the heartland of the Republican base is an irony that even honest old Abe Lincoln would have been hard-pressed to easily explain with a folksey joke.

Yet now, almost a century-and-a-half since his assassination, this new corporatocracy of finance, Wall Street, K Street, and Madison Avenue has taken us again nearly to the brink of economic ruin, by continually exploiting fear and hatred, winning every election by 3 points, claiming in such miniscule margins that they have won sweeping mandates to cut taxes for the rich, reduce federal expenditures, dismantle or privatize programs like Medicare, and undercut any and all social safety nets, all the while obscenely enriching themselves at the rest of society's expense. If our nation is to survive, then these policies have to be stopped, as similar forces were stopped in Lincoln's time. The Democrats of today are far from perfect, and have many serious problems with their own political goals and especially in their understanding of human nature. But whatever the case, it is imperative that some political and economic methodology be discovered which can exploit the deep cultural and philosophical differences which still exist between most people living in the Midwestern Red states-- inhabited by the descendants of those hard-working Republican homesteaders Lincoln sent west over his railroads, equipped with the latest research coming out of his USDA and Land Grant Colleges to increase their yields, and spread national wealth-- so that rebirth of freedom that he so eloquently called for in the wake of that bloody Battle of Gettysburg, the dream of which died with his assassination, can finally come to fruitiion......."

Liberals and liberal policies have been killing black people for centuries and continue to do so. From killing black babies in the womb, to the environmentalist banning chemicals that have led to the needless deaths of millions of black children in Africa. They could give a shit about the deaths of black children, about the failure of our public education system to allow poor black kids in the inner city to have a choice in what school they attend. All they care about is protecting their own liberal bureaucracy

Lies and sissy chatter. Evidence? Proof?

No one forced any woman to have an abortion. But your definition of 'liberty' is for her uterus to be the domain of the state.

DDT was not excised from disease control in the 70s. In fact, while malaria was resurging in the 70s DDT use was increasing. And part of the reason why there were more malaria cases was the continuing use of DDT in agriculture, which helped breed DDT-resistant mosquitoes.

Oh, please. And you want to attribute this to the liberal policies of the Left????
Schools failed in the first place because the establishment didn't ensure funds were allocated for infrastructure and resources, because minorities aren't valued in society...and there is a concerted effort to repress and oppress that community, while white schools have state of the art technology and resources abounding. Not rocket science.
And like abortion doesn't occur in white communities. Give me a break.

Damn son! Money is not spent based on skin color, but what the community can afford.
Let's take the cities of Greenwich and Bridgeport, 30 miles apart in SW Connecticut.
Greenwich, population 39,719, 26% minority has a 4 year HS graduation rate of 91.21 % it spends (2011 numbers) $17,675/pupil
Bridgeport, 30 miles east has a population of 139,505, is 60% minority and has a 64.96 % 4 year HS graduation rate. It spends $13,125/pupil.
What does this tell you?
does 24% additional spending account for the difference in results?

Lets now look at Vermont and The district of Columbia:
59.9% of HS students graduate in the District of Columbia the rate is 91.4% Vermont.
Vermont, population 626,011, 95.5% white spends $15,274/pupil and DC, population 617,996, 38.5% white spent $18,667.

I'll wait for your answer. tick tock.

You might be able to fashion an argument out of the Greenwich/Bridgeport comparison, but the DC/Vermont leaves nothing to the imagination. The fact that DC spends significantly more/pupil blows the hell out of the "The establishment cares nothing for the inner city." argument. Why can't blacks graduate from HS?
The "establishment" in DC IS black. Has been for years, There has been only 1 white mayor since 1975 and she wasn't the one who did time for coke.
The Superintendent of Education, Hosanna Mahaley Jones is black. The city council is mostly black, 11 democrats and 2 independents.

So much for your credibility. Gotta go out. Hope to be home for my 3:45 appointment.

That's worthy of nothing but scorn. You are probably the most racist member here and you see yourself as somehow morally and intellectually superior to your betters.
All that's left now is to wait an hour and 35 minutes until I canslap you with the only weapon left me by USMB.

First find a better. That's your white privilege playing tricks with your mind. Racist? Against whom? I already told you it can't be "white people" because all of y'all are not alike. Some of y'all are decent. Oh, you're at work, on the internet, when you should be doing "work". Typical white privilege move. Point out how blacks are lazy and shiftless, while you get paid for posting "crap" in a political debate forum. LOL.
Slap? Dream on, sparky. You're not on my level.

If I can "fashion an argument", then why did you throw it up as an example? Credibility? Try logic, on your end. City government in major cities all have problems with education and funding, and performance. The root causes are myriad, including the system being set up to fail, by whites, since Jim Crow.

That's worthy of nothing but scorn. You are probably the most racist member here and you see yourself as somehow morally and intellectually superior to your betters.
All that's left now is to wait an hour and 35 minutes until I canslap you with the only weapon left me by USMB.

I suppose there are many men better than I, but you don't get a place on that list.
I am not posting on the internet while I should be doing "work". I am retired and no, unlike a couple others on USMB, I don't get paid.

Dream on boy. You're not even close to knowing what the fuck you think you know. You're a racist agitator and a bragart with little chest to puff out.

Oh by the way, dick wad. your IQ makes you "average" here. Mine is considerably higher.

Lies and sissy chatter. Evidence? Proof?

Your problem is lack of knowledge. The banning of DDT as lead to millions of deaths in Africa

Do you need evidence of our failing public schools? Why not school choice?



killing babies in the black community..

Oh, please. And you want to attribute this to the liberal policies of the Left????
Schools failed in the first place because the establishment didn't ensure funds were allocated for infrastructure and resources, because minorities aren't valued in society...and there is a concerted effort to repress and oppress that community, while white schools have state of the art technology and resources abounding. Not rocket science.
And like abortion doesn't occur in white communities. Give me a break.

Conservatives want poor minority kids to be given a choice of what school they can attend unlike the liberal nutjobs who only care about teachers unions and their money. To conservatives every child is a value to society which is why we don't want them continually massacred. You should be concerned with the disproportionate # of abortions among black people, so much so that they are now the second largest minority behind Hispanics

School choice liberty for the poor!!

Really? A racist agitator?? I'm no racist...as I'm unmoved by race, but readily retaliate against the racism displayed by you and your ilk. I'm retired as well, which gives me the freedom to post, at my whim or will. Boy? Still caught up in racial pejoratives. It doesn't faze me, as I'm used to your type...men whose manhood is "challenged".
A braggart? (with 2 g's) Hardly. I can back up anything I claim. And your I.Q. is "considerably higher", or so you claim. Too bad your postings don't reflect such. LOL
