Gahrie said...: Picking Barry Goldwater over Nelson Rockefeller - who blacks LOVED - pretty much answers that.

So Black people started voting for Jim Crow democrats in the 1930's because the Republicans picked Barry Goldwater in the late 1960's?

Yeah that makes sense.; 8/12/18, 8:05 AM

Ray - SoCal said...: On another thread in Trump Cracks Emcees comments were impressive.

And then this thread, with accusations of Racism against Farmer?

And lots of excuses.; 8/12/18, 8:17 AM
Bad Lieutenant said...: Cracky, you're like a patient who's sick and goes to the doctor. Doctor looks you over, runs some tests and says Mr. Emcee, you've got cancer. You need surgery followed by radiation and chemo...

WHAT!? you roar, and looking in your open mouth one can see the tumors lining your throat. I don't have cancer! How could I have cancer? as the tumors pop out from your skin like Tetsuo in Akira. I don't have cancer, I've been nerve-gassed and you did it to me! Put away that cyberknife and give me a million dollars worth of atropine right now!

...

Crack, I'm seriously concerned that we simply will not be able to help you. Yes, some people are jeering, or just calmly saying, that you've got the inferior cancer genes, tsking that you live in an asbestos factory (and won't move), which you sabotage and spread more asbestos, that you smoke, that you destroy the air filters and harass the sanitation staff. That you are inherently high risk and live a dangerous lifestyle.

I don't want to get into all that, the distribution of responsibility. I just want to heal you. Suing the asbestos makers, who are all dead, is lawyer's work, and chiefly will enrich the lawyers. I'm interested in the doctor's piece. How do we make you better? You shy away from harsh Western medicine, from FDA drugs, therapies, possible amputations. Would you prefer colloidal silver? St John's wort? Personally I don't traffic in that stuff but you can surely find those who do, as long as your ATM card doesn't melt.

...

BTW, that 2012 autopsy, as I understand discussion of it (I haven't seen it), goes chiefly to the point that we need to open the borders, let 'em all in, lay down for our new Hispanic masters, and hope they find us a sufficiently skilled piece of ass that they let us live.

You, blacks, will be obliterated as a matter of course, between your own tendency to failure, open-season abortion, and the pressure applied to you by the Latino population who want what we have and will start with you as the easiest meat. Viz., Compton.

I wonder whether you want to get better, or just go out screaming and clawing and soiling the bed, running up the bill, and making the hospital staff as miserable as you can.

And again, I've posted and reposted for your attention, reasonably and politely I thought, and again, you've not engaged.; 8/12/18, 8:18 AM
Bad Lieutenant said...: Oh no, you're a pain, but it's better than letting you think Booker T. Washington won the black cultural debate,

BTW you are quite right on this, Booker T's approach seems entirely scorned in favor of the fight, the flight, the revolution of de Bois and Garvey, and all the commies and political snake-oil salesmen.; 8/12/18, 8:20 AM

"BTW you are quite right on this, Booker T's approach seems entirely scorned in favor of the fight, the flight, the revolution of de Bois and Garvey, and all the commies and political snake-oil salesmen."

But I'm the one who doesn't know history and needs help?

You guys are incredible.; 8/12/18, 8:23 AM
FIDO said...: Crack,

You won't vote different, you won't take any advice, you are insulting just to get a rise out of people instead of trying to FIX problems, you defend the criminals in your own community who make your lives miserable by making them Racial Martyrs when they die doing the things that actually made your lives miserable.

But me, fishing out here, is somehow the ONLY problem you have.

Well, your problem moved to Suburbia and we don't make your problems, vote for your problems, nor offer advice to your problems. Why be insulted.

But yeah, go ahead. Blame us. It has done SO well for you before. But this time is different.

Yeah that makes sense."

No, it doesn't, so you should ASSUME something's wrong - it would be entirely appropriate to do so there - but, you guys only seem to like making ASSUMPTIONS in places where they don't belong, so you're going along with a nonsensical idea of me and my argument - because you're such a "good person" right? - rather then being and treating me like an intelligent human being.

Wypipo Power to the fullest.; 8/12/18, 8:28 AM
Bad Lieutenant said...: To clarify,

"But I'm the one who doesn't know history and needs help?

You guys are incredible."

Crack, is that a criticism of me? Do you disagree with what I just said? The "you guys" is confusing.; 8/12/18, 8:31 AM

"Crack,

"The criminals in my own community"? You mean my family and friends? Who doesn't stand up for their family and friends? Why would you think I wouldn't't stand up for my family and friends?

"But me, fishing out here, is somehow the ONLY problem you have."

No, you lying from there - about patriotism and what we owe each other as Americans - that's a problem I have. If you can go fishing, so can Colin Kaepernick, right?

"Well, your problem moved to Suburbia and we don't make your problems, vote for your problems, nor offer advice to your problems. Why be insulted."

I have no idea what that means beyond defending white flight, which was racist.

"But yeah, go ahead. Blame us. It has done SO well for you before. But this time is different."

We are the fastest rising race in the history of mankind - without you - and dmired the world over, and most of the world is happier to see an African-American than any white American man, so you be sure and suck an egg out there on the water, to "your people," OK?

"Let me borrow from White Culture (oops...it's already mine!) and say Cura te ipsum"

We just had the 1st black president - in a long line of "firsts" in this country - and there will be many, many more. None of which will reflect you ever existed.

Thanks to you.; 8/12/18, 8:38 AM
Gahrie said...: No, it doesn't, so you should ASSUME something's wrong

The only thing wrongs are your bigoted and greedy ideas...there is nothing wrong with my history. The Black vote shifted from Republican to Democrat in the 1930's while Jim Crow was still in full effect.; 8/12/18, 8:44 AM

Was the Great Migration (or as I call it Black flight) racist? Is the current reverse migration racist?; 8/12/18, 8:46 AM

Another Crack "presumption" gone awry.; 8/12/18, 8:58 AM
Drago said...: Michael K: "Boy am I glad I never got interested in this thread."

Another thread where Crack gets the fundamentals wrong.

Ask him about his claim that Michael Jackson, the single most played artist on MTV in the 1980's, couldn't get played on MTV in the 1980's.

It ought to be a laugh riot.

Better yet, ask him about his hilarious claim that Harriet Tubman, who did serve Union forces bravely and competently as a scout, was actually giving battle advice to Union generals in large battles.

I'm just waiting for Crack to tell me that Egyptians are actually black and gave the Greeks all their knowledge of philosophy and science and objective truth.; 8/12/18, 9:01 AM
Drago said...: Crack Emcee: " but, you guys only seem to like making ASSUMPTIONS in places where they don't belong,.."

In a thread where Crack is openly making presumptions that are incorrect yet deems it appropriate to lecture others.

What a waste of time.; 8/12/18, 9:02 AM

Wait - you are comparing blacks looking for freedom and the law - IN AMERICA - to whites RUNNING FROM THEIR OWN FEARS?

Drago said...: I went to a few mostly black schools growing up in California.

And I am here to tell you that those black kids that excelled academically had the crap kicked out of them by the Crack Emcee's of that day.

And the ones whooping up on the smart kids were the ones yelling at their victims to stop "acting white".

Well, not to worry. Ol Crack sure didn't allow himself to get all "Thomas Sowell" educated or anything yucky like that.; 8/12/18, 9:11 AM

I like that, no matter how many times I prove that you white racists repeatedly misread what I say, you keep insisting your twisted version is what I said.

It explains how white racists keep their shit going. Now, shouldn't you guys be headed to the Unite The Right rally?; 8/12/18, 9:13 AM
Drago said...: CE: "I like that, no matter how many times I prove that you white racists repeatedly misread what I say, you keep insisting your twisted version is what I said."

Your comments were not misread.

You don't know anything, make laughably easy to disprove claims, than fall back on the white racists purposely misread me.

You have a real problem accepting responsibility for what you say.

Fix you.; 8/12/18, 9:16 AM
Drago said...: CE: "It explains how white racists keep their shit going. Now, shouldn't you guys be headed to the Unite The Right rally?"

Only if there is good paella.

Which I doubt.

So I probably won't.; 8/12/18, 9:17 AM
The Crack Emcee said...: Drago said...

"Ol Crack sure didn't allow himself to get all "Thomas Sowell" educated or anything yucky like that."

I've probably listened to more Thomas Sowell than all of you white boys put together. I just don't idolize him, nor do I like the way white conservatives treat him as their special prize - you got one! - but then, that should probably be expected, since he won't defend his thoughts in front of anyone but white conservatives. That makes you think he's super smart - because you can't think of anything to ask him because your heads are filled with racist nonsense and he's the one black person you can't offend or your cover's blown.

I even slept on a fire escape in his honor.; 8/12/18, 9:18 AM
Drago said...: Here's how this works:

Crack poses as some sort of philosopher on the corner king.

Makes dumb, easily disproved assertions.

Has this pointed out.

Screams racism.

Rinse/repeat.

Ad nauseum.; 8/12/18, 9:19 AM
Drago said...: CE: "I've probably listened to more Thomas Sowell than all of you white boys put together."

bbzzzzzt!

Wrong again.

But only again...and again....and again.

Having said that, how much of him have you actually read? (not that it matters, cuz it doesn't).; 8/12/18, 9:20 AM
Drago said...: CE: "I just don't idolize him, nor do I like the way white conservatives treat him as their special prize - you got one!"

I appreciate stellar academic achievement. Real academic achievement.

You denigrate him. That old "attack the smart black kids for acting white" mode comes out in you pretty fast...; 8/12/18, 9:21 AM
Gahrie said...: The only thing wrongs are your bigoted and greedy ideas...there is nothing wrong with my history. The Black vote shifted from Republican to Democrat in the 1930's while Jim Crow was still in full effect.

PROVE IT.

Wait..are you denying the fact that prior to 1932 most Blacks voted Republican and that since 1936 most Blacks have voted Democrat? Or are you denying that the Democratic Party is the party of racism and Jim Crow?; 8/12/18, 9:27 AM
The Crack Emcee said...: Drago,

Those aren't links. If you don't have links to prove your point, I'm ignoring you.

You know, I'm breaking my own rule talking to you, so get on it, Son.; 8/12/18, 9:32 AM
Gahrie said...: Wait - you are comparing blacks looking for freedom and the law - IN AMERICA - to whites RUNNING FROM THEIR OWN FEARS?

You mean the fears of drug ridden, gang dominated neighborhoods, plummeting real estate values and failing schools? How dare they? Worst of all, millions of Black people desperate for a better life are doing the same thing! The horror!; 8/12/18, 9:34 AM

It's just Drago and Gahrie - and a few others - and the rest stay silent.

Gahrie said...: Say...isn't the idea that Black communities are failing because Whitey moved away...racist?; 8/12/18, 10:09 AM
wildswan said...: As I see it

Often in looking at American history you can see a reform movement that begins as an absolute iron-clad determination not to allow what has happened to a group of blacks to happen to one's own group. For instance, the American Revolution as it began in Massachusetts centered on the idea that if taxation without representation were allowed the colonists would be "slaves"; if colonists lost their "rights as Englishmen" by going to America they would soon be made "slaves." This wasn't just a metaphor. Moreover, during the Revolution all the New England colonies outlawed slavery. Descendants of this same group of English-Americans moved westward after the Revolution and they outlawed slavery in the Northwest Territories - Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan. Then this group began to move south toward Missouri, Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas. When they tried to outlaw slavery there there was series of disputes which were impossible to resolve and which led to the Civil War. Regiments from these states filled with volunteers fought on the Union side for the Union and for an end to slavery. In the last years of the war 100,000 former slaves fought on the Union side and it became evident that with this accession of strength the South could not win. 300,000 men died on the Union side. And slavery was ended.

After, by various tricks most blacks were held down at the bottom of society. In several cases it is evident that the whites observed - again - what was going on and determined - again - that it was not going to spread to them which always ended up meaning that it was not going to stand, period. It is evident that eugenics justified segregation and it is evident that was eugenics began to spread out through society, especially when the Nazi government came to power and began to apply concepts from the Virginia segregation efforts to the whole of German society, to Poles, to Slavs, to (potentially) "mongrel" Americans, the whites became determined that eugenics would not stand. But Hitler fell before desegregation happened.

Segregation ended but still the black community is in such as case as that the fix it is in is the fix the white community is determined to avoid. I would call it having your life run by an impersonal, centralized bureaucratic state. In Chicago, for instance, it is quite evident that the police have conformed to the bureaucratic demand that they not put blacks in jail in proportions higher than their proportion in the nation, i.e. 13%. Hence they are only solving 13% of the murder cases; the rest they leave to the gang-bangers who execute the murderer and are in turn executed. This is OK with the centralized state; the numbers (that matter) look good. There are similar problems in the schools and a similar satisfaction by state bureaucrats with the numbers.

"Whites" are determined to avoid having moral numbnuts like these running our own lives. This is how you get Trump. We do not understand why the black community doesn't vote against their oppressors instead of calling every white person names. Yes, you are in a mess, but right now your oppressors can count on you to vote for them and keep them in power whereas we will not.; 8/12/18, 10:35 AM

I gave the Right a really good recruitment tool today, and what do I get for my trouble?

Drago and Gahrie, and all the white conservative cowards who stand around, watching them destroy my good will and any hopes for us getting along peacefully.

Oh - and I get the BLAME for destroying the harmony that (clearly) was here before I arrived.

Char Char Binks, Esq. said...: Michael Brown was psychotic.

According to John Eligon, NY Times August 24, 2014:

'FERGUSON, Mo. — It was 1 a.m. and Michael Brown Jr. called his father, his voice trembling. He had seen something overpowering. In the thick gray clouds that lingered from a passing storm this past June, he made out an angel. And he saw Satan chasing the angel and the angel running into the face of God. Mr. Brown was a prankster, so his father and stepmother chuckled at first.

“No, no, Dad! No!” the elder Mr. Brown remembered his son protesting. “I’m serious.”

Brown was non compos mentis, IOW, indistinguishable from the typical Negro.; 8/12/18, 11:05 AM
Drago said...: Crack: Oh - and I get the BLAME for destroying the harmony that (clearly) was here before I arrived."

You need to overcome your inability to accept when you are obviously wrong and not blame it on racism.

It has nothing to do with harmony.

For instance, you could admit you were wrong about the artist with the most airtime in MTV in the 80's was not, as you claimed, hilariously, unable to get airtime on MTV in the 80's.

But you wont.

You'll talk about Charlottesville or something like that.; 8/12/18, 11:09 AM
Drago said...: It would also be a very productive and useful use of your time if you raised money to establish a non-profit which focused on teaching young african-americans not to beat the snot out of kids who genuinely excel academically.; 8/12/18, 11:18 AM

Interesting word.
When I think nice, I think leave me the hell alone.
