Singapore has no rural areas, and yet they do not starve. The world is full of working farmland. But, the rural unemployed are not working. So New York City could buy where Singapore bought the food, and stop subsidizing rural unemployed.

This is one of the dumbest things I have ever read on this board. No clue what so ever.

And when LBJ signed the civil rights bill, he's quoted as saying "This will have them n****ers eating out of my hand for the next thirty years..."

"President Lyndon B. Johnson supposedly made a crude racist remark about his party's voter base. There's little evidence to back it up."

Did you read the entirety of those links? The evidence that LBJ said statements like that on numerous occasions is overwhelming. I posted my choices on the basis of them being the most friendly and absolving to LBJ. That is, those are Democrat friendly sites that try their best to downplay LBJ's overt and continuous racism and even they grudgingly admit he was a vulgar racist who only signed civil rights legislation as a ploy to get Blacks to vote Democrat even as he clearly hated them ethnically and racially.

You wanted to make the comparison, cunt, not me.

Ignorant fuck

if I am the ignorant fuck, why are you the one who thought contrasting them was an attempt at equating them........think on that for a few days and see if you can figure it out.......

Part of the beauty of America is that a poor man's vote is worth just as much as a rich man's vote.

You made a claim LBJ said this specific statement.

You made the claim with certainty and authority..

You did not disclose that there is virtually no evidence LBJ actually said this, according to your own link.

I do not think you can be trusted to post accurate and truthful information

The contemptible thing is not that people are poor but that they vote for those who keep them poor.

You live in the poorest part of the UK which has always voted Labour, idiot! It

Very stupid as well.

It's precisely because of arrogant twats like Salty, Joanie and Crypiss that the Electoral College is so important. They are typical examples of Smug White Liberals or SWiL©

Did LBJ Say ‘I’ll Have Those N*****s Voting Democratic for 200 Years’?

Robert Caro on LBJ's Sadism & Racism

"A stereotype that had currency in the Hill Country was that Negroes were terrified of all snakes. Sometimes Johnson or one of his Hill Country friends would catch a snake, sometimes a harmless snake, sometimes a rattlesnake. Johnson would put it in the trunk of his car, and drive to a gas station at which a Negro was working as the gas pump attendant. Pulling up to the pump to get gas, he would tell the attendant that he thought the spare tire in his trunk might need air, and would ask him to take a look at it. Often this practical joke was successful; relating this story, he said, about one Negro attendant, 'Boy, you should have seen that big buck jump!'

He went on playing this joke not only when he was in college, but when he was a congressional assistant -- when he was a congressman, in fact. Once, when he played it while he was a congressman -- in 1945 or 1946 at a service station at the corner of First Street and Congress Avenue in Austin -- the joke had a different denouement. While Lyndon was 'standing there laughing' at the attendant's shock, the black man picked up a tire iron and, threatening to wrap it around Johnson's neck, shouted, 'I'll make you a bow tie out of this!' The manager of the service station had to hustle Johnson out a back door to get him away."

Johnson is often credited as one of the most consequential presidents with respect to civil rights, having signed the 1964 Civil Rights Act and the 1965 Voting Rights Act. But for much of his political career, Johnson opposed civil rights legislation. According to a Pulitzer Prize-winning biography on Johnson, during the two decades he served in the U.S. Senate he would use the phrase "n***er bill." Johnson also reportedly defended appointing Thurgood Marshall to the Supreme Court––the court's first black justice in U.S. history––by stating, "Son, when I appoint a n***er to the court, I want everyone to know he's a n***er."

The argument here is not per se about the quote I used but rather what I was implying by using it. The argument against it on that basis amounts to a logical fallacy where the counter point is an argument that because the quote isn't exact, my argument is invalid. It ignores completely the context in which it was used and other evidence that supports the position I proposed. That's the problem.

You made a claim that LBJ said something, that your own hyperlink says there is virtually no evidence he actually said.

A person of character would admit they made a blunder, and falsely ascribed a statement to someone there is little evidence they ever said.

This is one of the dumbest things I have ever read on this board. No clue what so ever.

Agriculture is about 2% of our economy, which is absolutely tiny. So of everything we produce, it is about 2% of it. That gives us a lot of other money to buy that 2% with.

Now you claim that the 20% of the population that are uneducated rural whites are supported by this 2% of the economy. That would make them noticeably poorer than Mexicans. My theory is these people have nothing to do with real agriculture, and just live where the land is cheap. If you are unproductive, you don't need to live in a productive area. You can live on whatever marginal land you can find for cheap.

Lets take Appalachia as an example. The Alt Right is asking us to believe that without Appalachia, NYC would starve. What food comes from Appalachia? They grow a bit of agriculture, but not much. Not great area for agriculture, mountainous. It does have cheap land.

'Trump’s Re-election Message Is White Grievance'

"It’s hard to know if Republicans like this are truly naive or if they’re just pretending so they don’t have to admit what a foul enterprise they’re part of. Because Trump does indeed have a re-election message, a stark and obvious one. It is “white power.”

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/02/opinion/trump-racism-2020-election.html

'But Trump understands that he became a significant political figure by spreading the racist lie that Barack Obama was really born in Kenya. He launched his history-making presidential bid with a speech calling Mexican immigrants rapists and adopted a slogan, “America First,” previously associated with the raging anti-Semite Charles Lindbergh. Throughout the 2016 campaign, he won the invaluable prize of earned media with escalating racist provocations, which his supporters relished and which captivated cable news.'"

I have spent my life as a Democrat which probably isn’t that surprising considering that I am African-American. One of the things that always attracted me to the party were the ideals of equality, fighting for the little guy and our openness to differing opinions, but lately I have seen my party take a turn that makes me uncomfortable. Somewhere along the way we stopped fighting for the little guy and became the party of the smug, educated elites who look down on those with less education and deem them unable or unworthy of being able to make personal decisions for their own lives.

Over the last few years we have made incredible strides in diversity and inclusion, from the election twice of the nation’s first African-American President to the legalization of gay marriage, all things that I have loudly and happily cheered for and felt were a long time in coming. As an African-American professional from humble beginnings, I know firsthand the importance of giving everyone an equal opportunity to access the American Dream. I don’t take lightly the opportunities I have been given or the fact that many people, black and white, fought for and sometimes died for me to have these rights. I also have serious concerns about the lack of progress that I have seen for many African-Americans and I blame some of that lack of progress on ineffective liberal policies that are based upon wanting to help those in need, but in many instances end up causing more harm than good.
