The PRRI survey is fascinating, as their surveys always are.
The survey asked what percentage of each group thought the way of life has changed mostly for the better since the 1950’s. Results:
Democrats - 63%
Independents - 48%
Republicans - 29%

Perspectives/experiences probably come into play here. The 1950s were a simpler time and many people may think about Leave It To Beaver and John Wayne.
To me, that era meant people like me not being able to vote, stay in hotels, attend good schools or drink from water fountains.

One of the unfortunately aspects of human nature is we tend to not think much about or worry much about things that don’t affect us directly or affect those we know directly.
It’s not even malicious in its intent. It’s just how we are. Self-focused.

When Black Meant Republican

In the fall of 1895 Atlanta put on one in a series of “International Expositions” designed to highlight its progress in recovering from the war. Racial tensions had been growing since southerners, at the end of Reconstruction, began instituting Jim Crow laws.
The organizers of the Exposition invited prominent black leader Booker T. Washington to give a keynote address. The position he took in that speech was a calculated gamble.

If Burkean conservatism is a response to the French Revolution, then African conservatism is also a response. It emerges out of, and in response to the shock of both Colonialism and The Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade — the largest forced migration in history.

The LARGEST, long-distance, coerced migration in human history — The Atlantic slave trade is the backdrop, for the dissimilar attitudes, values, unique differences, between, Anglo conservatism, and what is referred to as African or "black conservatism".
It's not a black/hispanic problem. It's an American problem (global problem).
And, it's also not just an individual problem.

“Fighting” racism; is racism?
Documenting the dissimilar impact (both indirect and direct)of racism, on black life; that's racism?
That's a country on its way towards Nazism.

“The answer to racism is not #colorblindness. The answer to racism is to embrace a worldview that says diversity is beautiful.”
“[Color-blindness] is an attempt to avoid racism by removing its source, color. Sadly, the implications of this attempt actually feed the very thing it is seeking to starve.” — Pastor Kyle J. Howard #tcot #maga #tlot #blackconservatives
“This is what underpins the far-right's endless whataboutery and tendency to equate slavery in different contexts across different millenia. The goal is to empty the history of the transatlantic slave trade of its unique racial element and thus remove its legacy as a determinant"
"False equivalence and an endless dishonest minimisation are characteristics of both Racial slavery denialism and Holocaust denialism."
“The system of racialised perpetual hereditary chattel slavery that was developed in the New World by Europeans has NO EQUIVALENT in history."

#BlackWallStreet is a very serious reminder of the dissimilar history African American businesses had to endure, endured, things, that most of "The Newly Arrived" would've never survived. And, despite our history: Today, they ask "Why can't you just be like the good Asians".
You could have built to the moon 🌚 and watch it all disappear, all in one night, all in one night! The legal beneficiaries of our pain, being falsely compared to us. Centuries of working for free; due to slavery,

This article, it seems to imply that some wealthy individuals are employing diversity to sabotage diversity, employing diversity inorder to create new (and misleading) narratives about diversity — even question its value.

“First, I have been shocked at the enormous power of the government, to unilaterally decree, to simply close businesses and schools by edict, restrict personal movement, mandate behavior, and eliminate our most basic freedoms, without any end and little accountability.”
“Second, I remain surprised at the acceptance by the American people of draconian rules, restrictions, and unprecedented mandates, even those that are arbitrary, destructive, and wholly unscientific.”

The Black Libertarian Walter Williams has died.
I enjoyed his book "South Africa's War Against Capitalism
I was a critic of many of his views on 1) The Confederacy and 2) The Transatlantic Slave Trade.

"As an African-American woman, Lythcott-Haims wrote, she was taken aback that he would say this to her "with no facial affect." She went on to say that Thiel made "no effort to even acknowledge the pain the concept of apartheid could possibly raise for me, a Black women."
“One day I heard a rumor that Peter defended apartheid (which was then still the law of the land in South Africa), which I found morally repugnant.”

If you've been wanting to meet an automated Reagan conservative who worries about our future by spamming Twitter with links to poorly-source articles about "voter fraud" on a website you've never heard of, @keichri is the account for you. #FridayFeeling

Almost all (98.5%) of @keichri's recent tweets are automated via dlvr(dot)it. This account has apparently dabbled in automation before, although at least two of the apps it was using have subsequently been shut down (erased7812941 and erased13330229).
The primary mission of @keichri appears to be to promote various right-wing websites, usually obscure ones. Almost all of its tweets since March 2020 link to speakingaboutnews(dot)com, with a previous three and a half year binge of spamming links to conservativeread(dot)com.
Fellow Patriots,
We all know that Iran stands as an existential threat to American freedom and democracy in the Middle East. Yet the Deep State—led by Obama, AOC, and other Islamic Marxists—will do whatever it takes to prevent our liberation of the country. #tcot

This is why I've started a new crowd-funded project:

We Invade Iran!
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Our goal is to reach $7 billion, which should cover the cost of a tactical nuclear bombardment, followed by a full-scale ground invasion—led by us, the American people.

If you've been paying attention to the Fake News media, you just don't know the truth about Iran. The freedom-loving Iranian people overwhelmingly support a devastating atomic strike on their country—especially if they know that it's funded by Americans, and not the DC Swamp.
Just finished reading all 211 pages of Mary Trump’s book, “Too Much And Never Enough: How My Family Created The World’s Most Dangerous Man.” Folks, we have a psychotic sociopath in the White House. This book reveals where al of this evil originated from. What she lays out is 1/3
a devastating indictment of his parents and how this uneducated fool has been able to thrive while massively failing. I am even more committed to seeing him lose in 100 days. There is no way in hell he can be allowed four more years. I read this book in two sittings over 2/3

I understand 100% why many Christians and pro-life people prefer the GOP over the Democratic Party, which has been owned by the abortion industry.
What I DON’T understand is being against abortion but being totally cool with, like, almost every other form of evil.

I’m not that sure how well it nets out to shrug at white nationalism, be fine with total disregard for the law, corruption up the wazoo, hugging on dictators, pissing on allies, being purposefully cruel toward immigrant children - BUT - being pro-life.
It’s the moral equivalent of getting an extra large big boy burger with large fries and extra mayo - but priding yourself with washing it all down with a Diet Coke. Because nutrition matters to you.
I don’t think it counts if abortion is the ONLY form of evil that bothers you.
