What other way is there to respond to this?
In her dispatch on the event, Jane notes that Trump didn’t even bother to show up and instead spoke to attendees via telephone about his planned tax cuts for businesses.
Lmao, asshole literally phoned it in
There was a chance he might be in a room with black people. You think he was gonna risk showing up?
planned tax cuts for businesses
Well, at least Trump spoke about the key issues the black community face and showcased how his platform will enable them to have a better future.
Trump lied an awful lot tonight. Sorry that you fell for it.
Whoosh!
The point of that post was that tax cuts for businesses is NOT the key issue for the black community
NOT the key issue for the black community
Thank you, this is a much better and clearer way to state what I meant.
I was being sarcastic. Also, he didn’t even lie, he just talked about an unexpected topic as he isn’t “the biggest fan of black people.”
My guess is that he didn’t even dial the number.
You slightly misquoted the next line of the article, but that’s okay as I see it’s not part of the direct quote
Notice the event is named “Black Americans for Trump” and not “Blacks for Trump”. That’s awfully woke of them don’t you think?
Compared to what they were likely thinking, “Blacks for Trump” is downright progressive for them.
Now we know why the Trump supporters bought up all his NFTs
Blacks 👏 4 👏 Trump 👏
But the shirts say blacks for trump
The sign guy returned their deposit. The shirt guy wasn’t so kind.
That picture isn’t directly related. I think it was taken at the 2016 RNC. I know it’s been a meme since roughly that time.
They first printed shirts saying “Blackies for Trump” but someone in their team caught it last second.
How is it possible to be a member of the pre-civil-rights generation of white people and be so oblivious as to
- DON A SHIRT that says in huge letters “Blacks for Trump”
- Wear it in public
- To an event ostensibly targeted to black people
- Willingly pose for a picture wearing it with no black people in evidence except those laughing at you or giving you the side eye from a distance.
It’s simple: they never stopped being racist, they just try to not say it out loud anymore.
But oh how they want to, and they’ll vote for the guy they think will make it so they can say it and have everybody think they’re cool again.
Lead poisoning is known to make people dumber and angrier. It seems the boomers got the bulk of the lead poisoning in America. To me, this explains the behavior you’re talking about 🤷. I have no other theories. I think they’re all just brain dead from lead poisoning dude.
I have genuinely thought this for years.
I originally thought that generational bullshit is stupid and, without any other influence, each generation is really the same as the last and the changes only really happen within the society itself. So I always thought it was stupid when people would say, “X generation is the dumbest!”
But then I realized that Boomers were hit with both massively spread lead poisoning and swaths of radiation through especially Midwest America throughout their developmental periods that it is fair enough to say that, should there be such thing as the “Dumbest Generation,” it would likely be the Boomers
In retail it’s always boomers losing their shit about almost nothing, and being 40 now, I recall the past 30 years pretty well, and there were also recipts with coupons, you had to pay cash and using a CC or Debit was a curtesy you couldn’t expect, banks gave you cards and pin numbers, but NOW they can’t handle it. At all.
Plus, a lot of them got Covid without a vacchine and that disease attacks your nervous system and can shave of between 3 to 6 IQ points with each infection. So they are likely even dumber now than they were before Covid.
That man looks partially embalmed
That would explain perhaps why he’s the palest looking black person I’ve ever seen.
Partially?
Mortician here… I agree.
They’re bringing back people from the dead when America used to be great
Like that black church for trump
Why do these MAGA supporters always look like melted candles?
That’s how old people look.
No man, it’s not.
That’s dumb
Being maga drains away all humanity
Who could possibly have foreseen that this would go tits up?!
The tits probably did.
Serious question;
Am I over-thinking it to be skeeved out by the phrase “blacks” for Trump?
It’s basically saying that their main defining characteristic as a group is their colour rather than anything about who they are culturally.
It would be like a politician here in Canada courting the indigenous vote by holding a rally called “Reds for Pollieve” or something.
I don’t see that really being talked about or mentioned and wonder am I just over-thinking it? Or is it just that it’s just one more fucked up thing that gets buried under a dozen other fucked up things…
You are right. Turning an adjective into a noun tends to make it more degrading because you’ve focused on the characteristic rather than the person. That’s why referring to people as “blacks” or “females” feels icky. It’s why we saw “deaf people” and not “the deafs” or “old people” and not “the olds.”
Those Olds really are fucking things up around here tho
But the only reason we don’t talk about the poors that way is because we can legally destroy where they sleep and run them out of town :)
No you’re right the whole thing is a sick joke.
“The roundtable setup featured Representative (and Trump V.P. wannabe) Byron Donalds, former Trump Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson, and Representative Wesley Hunt in attendance,” she writes. “The seats were positioned in a semi-arc facing a gaggle of cameras and sea of white people, and everyone looks abundantly unenthused to be there.”
Where are the photos, man!?!
I like those women on the right laughing at these two old white chucklefucks.
Oh that’s a great spot. Didn’t notice it initially.
Suprised they did not just add makeup.
That would take a fraction of one brain.
Brought to you by 23 and Me.
I didn’t understand this connection
Something about ‘I had a test done and it says I’m .000025 % black’ would be my guess. Kind of like the folks that get all worked up about St. Patrick’s Day because some long lost relative once visited Ireland.
I also missed the joke, but after Monkey with a Shell explained it I think it’s honestly hilarious.
Sometimes we find inspiration where we least expect it.
No coincidence background “patriot” wears the Deutsche Reichsflagge (Black / White / Red) as a sweater?
So not Egypt, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, or even Trinidad and Tobago, it must be a flag from nearly a century ago, if you squint real hard, and ignore the extra stripes and the fact they’re vertical instead of horizontal. It certainly can’t be because of the esthetics of broad vertical stripes and that black and white go with anything, meaning you only have to coordinate with one color. Nah, that’s unreasonable.
Sorry I said anything to ridicule these poor MAGA people
Go with the legitimate criticisms. There are many, even in the clothing choices.
I did. Your speculation is as good as mine.
I’m not speculating at all. I’m pointing our how much of a reach your speculation is. We can’t even be sure they’re there for Trump’s talk. That looks like a convention center, they could be there for something else. I tried to find the location this was taken, but I’m not finding it.
Well I happened to be there as a journalist from the EU and actually tried to interview this person because she caught my attention when she gave out free replicas of SS-Ehrenring rings to the other attendants. Just instead of the skull her rings had a small Trump head. She declined my interview request because, as she put it, I looked like I was “unwertes Leben”.
So you should be really careful with your speculation and probably stick to your manga and anime, dum-dum!
