Liberals never lear, do they? This idea that you can reduce power by mocking? Don’t you know who abused that flawed thinking to his fullest advantage in 2016?

It’s sad that things keep shifting such that his opinions are considered “normal”. People say a lot of bs, sure, but he was openly racist and homophobic, and his career revolved around it. I think someone who said he had no empathy for the families of school shooting victims can appreciate the irony of how he went out

He was not racist, there are literally videos of him kicking racists out of his events. Also he never said he has no empathy for school shooting victims, that’s two separate quotes that were taken out of context and falsely combined.

The quote about he ‘doesn’t believe in empathy’ was actually him saying he prefers the term sympathy, and thinks empathy gets overused when it’s not applicable.

The quote about school shootings was that he thinks they are terrible and tragic and has sympathy for the victims, but that the cost of having freedoms is that some people will abuse those freedoms, and that the value having an armed populace provides outweighs the cost of the few maniacs who abuse weapons.

And you can agree or disagree with either of those opinions, that’s fine, those are just his opinions. But to say he had no sympathy for murder victims and openly condoned racism is just factually incorrect slander. Tell me you never actually listened to the man without telling me.

There’s sooo many racist quotes you can find with a single google search. He said outright he would trust black pilots less than white pilots, if you want a specific example. He called MLK awful. He was literally commenting on the difference in gun violence between races the moment he got shot. If kicking out self proclaimed white supremacists is your bar for not being racist, that’s pathetic.

If his gun violence stance doesn’t mean anything to you somehow, he was also directly misogynistic. He said wives have a duty to submit, and husbands are in command. He said he would want 10 yo rape victims to carry pregnancies to term Part of what makes it ironic is that he also said the death penalty should be quick, without so much deliberation in courtrooms, and publicly televised. I see you also neglected to respond to his being homophobic, is that out of agreement?

if that’s not racist enough for you still, try “Black America is worse now than the last 80 years. They were actually better in the 40s. It [Jim Crow] was bad, it was evil. But what happened? Something changed. They committed less crimes!”

Or if thats too long for you: “black women don’t have the brain processing power to be taken seriously.”

Once again very clear you’ve never actually listened to him speak on a single topic, you’ve just seen compilations of cut-up soundbites. He never said he trusts black pilots less, he was commenting on the unfairness of affirmative action policies creating double standards so less qualified people can get chosen to fill roles because of their race. He didn’t say he trusts black pilots less, he said he doesn’t want us to have a policy that makes people question whether black pilots are qualified.

Likewise with MLK, he was specifically talking about the legacy of the 1964 civil rights act, not about the concept of equality but about the specific means it went about trying to achieve it by laying the legal groundwork for affirmative action policies which by and large have not helped make America a more equal place to live.

The difference in gun violence rates isn’t a racist opinion, it’s a statistical fact. But if you listened to him speak, you’d know he didn’t attribute it to their ‘blackness’, he believed it was a result of the the government’s systemic dismantling of the family unit among minorities and poor people, and he was pushing for legal changes which would help restore families. And for that you’re fine with him getting shot mid-sentence. Fuck you.

I can keep going through each of these one by one, but this is so obviously a waste of my time. You haven’t so much as acknowledged a single thing I’ve explained so far, you’re not going to change your mind or even reexamine your biased in the face of new information. You’re just going to keep going back to try to dig up more shit about a guy you’ve clearly never made any attempt to understand. You’re probably not even really reading what I’m writing right now.

dude, all of those things are insane reasons to make those statements. that reasoning is literally racism. idk what more to tell you. you also didn’t “explain” anything? you said “nuh uh that was all slander”, I gave you direct quotes and you just went “nuh uh” again. Saying the Civil Rights act had a terrible legacy is bonkers, even if you think there’s some problems with affirmative action today. I’m not fine with him getting shot. People getting shot is bad. But he was a shitty person.

I get what you’re saying and I appreciate you sharing what you think, but like - “I wish we didn’t implement policies that made it hard to trust black people” is just using racism to justify hating on any diversity policies, which aren’t even implemented in any pilot programs that I’ve heard of. Racism is racism even if it has a thin layer of anti-DEI paint. If you say he advocated for positive assistance to black families, maybe give an example of that? because the negatives are pretty glaring

His answer was simple, make policies that are meritocratic and race-neutral. Because one, your skin color should not affect your affect your school acceptance or employment, period. And also because if race is not a factor, then no one can accuse you of being a diversity-hire.

He advocated for rewriting the welfare systems established in the War on Poverty under Lyndon Johnson in the 1960s which incentivized single-parent homes and children out of wedlock so that they instead incentivize parents staying together and reward fathers who stay present in their children’s lives.

rewriting the welfare system isn’t a bad idea, but meritocratic policies are kind of impossible to achieve. How well educated someone is depends mostly on the neighborhood they grow up in and the wealth of their parents, which already has a large race discrepancy. The “merit” of already having the time and money to be able to devote time to school matters so much more than the merit of being a hard worker.

Incentivizing single parents is objectively bad, yes, but incentivizing parents staying together isn’t necessarily good. Monetary incentives would mean many more people who are reliant on staying in an abusive relationship in order to survive. I don’t know what the right solution is either, and I’m no political scientist, but I wouldn’t say these policies advocate for the wellbeing of black Americans. I don’t mind the ideas, but they’re also far from clearing him of the other stuff he’s said
