Which is better for black americans in your opinion?

[LoneLaugher]

1. Jobs, opportunity and safety
OR
2. entitlements, unfair advantage, continued ghetto housing, no jobs, failed incentives, illegal aliens and unvetted refugees

JW here. TIA

You act like you think some candidates would pick number 2.

Silly, simple minded nutter.

 

[Asclepias]

If you are a minority, which party do you vote for?

1. A party which makes it obvious every single day just how much they hate blacks, Muslims, homosexuals, and Hispanics.

2. A party which creates an over-dependency on government for all your basic needs.

3. Abstain from voting.

A more honest question would have been:

If you are a citizen, which party do you vote for and why?

1. Republican.

2. Democrat.

3. Abstain from voting.

I disagree. The questions in g5000 post are very honest.

Thats what they seem to vote for

Bull shit. Common sense dictates there is always more than 2 options.

No.

You must be a low level employee used to taking orders. People that make things happen always know there are more than 2 options in every scenario. Use your critical thinking skills.

So, you resort to ad hominems, offer no logic or substance, then finish that same breath telling me to use critical thinking skills? Hilarious.

There is no basis to presume an infinite number of options available to a given situation. Options are, therefore, in fact limited. Since there is a finite number of options available, there is no basis to assume a requisite minimum. Assuming that every situation is unique, the number of available options becomes dependent on the situation itself. For example, if an individual invades your home with the intent to kill you, you may find yourself limited precisely to the two options of either killing the intruder, or being killed. Another example is the truth value of a statement. A statement is either true or false. There are no other options. A natural number is either odd or even. There is no third option. All real numbers are either rational or irrational. There is no third option.

The availability of additional options is dependent on the circumstances. Some scenarios exist specifically within the context of prescribed rules, and thus are defined as limited to two options. For example, a jury may find a defendant either guilty or not guilty. They are not permitted to render an alternative verdict. An election can prescribe that only one or a second candidate be selected, with no allowance for write-in options.

Just because you want there to be more options when you do not like the limitations of the situation does not alter the objective reality. This is an example of your own self-serving bias. It is also the same kind of arrogance that many people employ to wash away their accountability for harmful actions toward other people as having no relevance (ex: "Just because I sabotaged your job doesn't mean it's my fault you got fired. If you were qualified in the first place you would have found a way.").

Your claim that there are always at least three options requires substantiation. So far, you have provided none. All you have offered is an ad hominem attack. If you believe that a third option is available then present it. If you cannot do so, then you have failed your burden.

Youre wrong. Using your own example about a jury finding a defendant guilty or not guilty. They can dead lock and cause a mistrial. I never said there was infinite options. Thats something you said to try and lend validity to your argument. I said there is always more than 2 options in every scenario. Rarely are you limited to 2 options. The only limitations are prescribed by your inability to critically think. Yes I offered a 3rd option. Your inability to see it is amusing but interesting at the same time.

Sorry you must lack education. Being able to figure out more than 2 options is the essence of critical thinking.

This assertion is the epitome of non-critical thinking.

American whites are paying a big price for the past actions of American whites, though not in dollars and cents. Unfortunately, a lot of them continue to find ways to look at blacks as somehow inferior and incomprehensible human beings. A lot of blacks are now making the equal mistake of looking at all whites as somehow inferior and incomprehensible human beings.
That is a huge price for any country to pay.

 

[SwimExpert]

No, that isn't critical thinking, it's called entitlement mentality.

Bingo. "There are more options because I want more options. It's not a choice between being profitable or paying me more money. You have to have the option to do both because I deserve more money."

 

[SwimExpert]

Common sense dictates

In other words, you want people to accept your assertions based on nothing more than your thinly veiled insults to their intelligence. This way, you aren't required to actually support your claims.

That is an ad hominem fallacy.

Your post is showing your lack of education.

Defining Critical Thinking

"Critical thinking is the intellectually disciplined process of actively and skillfully conceptualizing, applying, analyzing, synthesizing, and/or evaluating information gathered from, or generated by, observation, experience, reflection, reasoning, or communication, as a guide to belief and action. In its exemplary form, it is based on universal intellectual values that transcend subject matter divisions: clarity, accuracy, precision, consistency, relevance, sound evidence, good reasons, depth, breadth, and fairness."

If you have 1, you won't need 2.

That's ridiculous.

I need a part of 2 if I plan on being compensated for the 400 years of white affrimative action.

Ain't gonna happen so get off your lazy ass and get a job. There is nothing for you to be compensated for.

I'm past needing a job. Yes there is much to be compensated for. My ancestors were never paid.

Demand reparations because your ancestors were never paid from those who never paid them. You, personally, have no claim on historical injustices.

Of course I do. You dont understand that a debt owed to my father is a debt owed to me once my father is passed and that debt was never repaid. If I die then my son becomes the debtee. Again only a uncivilized and ethically bankrupt individual does not understand that time honored concept.

"A society that has done something special against the Negro for hundreds of years must now do something special for the Negro."
- Martin Luther King Jr

No honest and self-respecting person would ask for something he/she did not EARN. Your justification for your outrageous demands are rooted in the obsolete and primitive mindset that is frighteningly similar to the mindset of Islam.

If you quote Martin Luther King Jr. remember what he said about the content of character.
And if you are American, once again, call yourself what MLR did, without prefixing it with "African".
And be a bit less generous with your epithets.

I didnt ask anyone to accept my assertions. I dont know what made you think your acceptance had anything to do with it. I was offering my opinion as the OP asked.

Your opinion is noted but not taken seriously. I didnt make a demand. I answered a question and mocked those that got emotional over my answer.

I never said it was a verdict. I said it was an option.

2. Democrat.

I disagree. The questions in g5000 post are very honest.

Of course you do. Answering the "why" honestly would be too hard for those who are natural born followers of 2.

 

[BluesLegend]

All I know is after 50 years of sucking up to the Democratic party blacks don't seem all that well off. Besides it looks like the Democratic party is finished using blacks and are focused on Hispanics now.

How can one be treated equally when the people doing the unequal treatment have not equalized the equation?

 

[blastoff]

You only gave two options which is a sign of not having the intellect to know there is always....always a 3rd option. A combination of 1 and a part of 2 would be my vote.

If you have 1, you won't need 2.

That's ridiculous.

Take it up with our ancestors.

The why question is an add on to the who question. Your claim was that your why question was more honest without a shred of supporting evidence other than your opinion.
