A great man died

I don't support Trump so much as


He is the lesser of two evils, I am willing to see how he does unlike you. We like that he wants to put the UK at the front of the queue for trade deals unlike Obama and Clinton.

I am not the only one that thinks Cuba is racist, so does Henry Gates! What else can you call a country that has puts your skin colour and ethnicity on ID cards?

Respectfully, he's also the champion of white nationalism and white supremacy. That's the boat you're in whether you are a racist or not.

He's also a political novice with a giant head. That's who has the helm of your ship.

... and when it all goes south .. as it inevitably will .. there will be no one to blame but you.
 
I'm not disagreeing with what you're saying brother. The goal is to make it better for our children and future generations.

Sometimes that which divides people is so superficial it's almost invisible. Race makes it visible.

One reason that I applaud and defend Castro is because he tried, and succeeded in making it better .. and truth is on my side.
Castro was just following the hard line Communist manifesto. Stalin and Lenin before him did not divide based on race but on class. The elite and the Peasants. Castro just followed the original game plan. Problem he had was he only traded with other Communist regimes that were failing also.
But his social views have merit. No doubt.

LOL....we got a giant head, small hand, orange fella. What could possibly go wrong? :)

Castro went WAYYYYYYYYYYYYY beyond anything Stalin and Lenin ever did on race. He was more of a socialist than a communist.

Race relations was a central tenet of Castro's movement .. which is why the Cuban racists could not tolerate him.

So why are there no blacks in the Cuban government?

Stalin was an ardent hater of anything "racist". As you know he was from Georgia and they were looked down as a class of people. So he had a chip on his shoulder. Castro was a experiment for sure.

"He ended many of the blatant discriminatory practices that existed in pre-Revolutionary Cuba"

How did you miss that? That not only talks about race in Cuba, it also talks about Castro the man .. where his heart was. He took his efforts to promote better race relations all over the world.

If I'm not mistaken, you're a Trump supporter .. and if you are indeed a Trump supporter, you don't give a damn about better race relations here or in Cuba. Just wondering where your standing was to talk about race in Cuba.

Take a look at these pictures ..

Those are ex-Cubans celebrating Castro's death in Miami. Notice what color they are. They hated Castro BECAUSE of his efforts to create better race relations in Cuba .. and the first thing they did when they arrived in this country was rush to join the all-white party .. counter to what the vast majority of Hispanics have done. White Cuban-Americans are among some of the most racist people on the planet.

There is absolutely no question that Castro sought better race relations in Cuba .. and those relations are better in Cuba now then perhaps in anytime in Cuba's history. There is NO question that black Cubans and black people around the world acknowledges his gallant efforts.

Yet you seem to believe that because he didn't solve all race problems that he should be somehow condemned. :0)

.. even though you live in a racist nation that denied its black population even the most basic human rights for 350 of our 400+ years here. You're probably older that African-Americans have had basic civil rights in this country .. and you exist in the virtually all-white political right, the home for racists.

If you assume this is something the Left doesn't want to talk about, you assume too much.

I just figured out that BAC doesn't really stand for BlackAsCoal and instead it's closer to BatAssCrazy; but continue, please. :good4u:
 
Is that my thesis?
Was I challenged to disprove it?
Am I obliged to disprove it?

Candidly I do have some concerns about what I suspect is a long term (not merely generations, but centuries) disintegration of key, valued components of family.
For example, families used to often have 3 or more generations living under one roof.

Why is it rarer today? Socialism? I wouldn't say that's a primary culprit.
I suspect a combination of factors.

a) A half century ago there were "house-wives". Men would go earn a wage that could support the entire household.
Wifey would stay home and vacuum the rug with curlers in her hair.

Today many households need two wage-earners, and so "latch-key kids" proliferate.

b) Before television, the old folks were the story tellers, the repository of wisdom. But the two wage-earning family enabled more "old folks" to go to "senior living centers" aka "old folks homes", and now the television (or mobile device) is the story teller.

There's c, d, e, & f I suppose. It's a cascade; dominoes to some extent.

I infer you agree the multi-gen family model that prevailed in the 18th and 19th centuries is by whatever process, being changed. If not, what?

& If so, why?

The following excerpted from U.S. Presidential candidate Libertarian Andre Marrou's
1992 stump speech.

"... the United States is increasingly socialistic under the Democrats & Republicans.
The Democrats are essentially left wing socialists. The Republicans are right wing
socialists. How do you define socialism? More money to government, more power to
government, more bureaucrats, and more regulations, and on and on ... .
The federal government spends 25% of the Gross National Product. State, county, and
local government spend another 22%. That's 47% of the Gross National Product of this
country being spent by the government bureaucrats primarily on themselves. That
leaves 53% in your pockets. You're the people who earn it. 47% vs 53%; how can we
get your 53% up to 90%? One and only one way, we must reduce the 47% the
government spends, down to 10%. That is the only way it can be done. Individual
Liberty is diametrically opposed to governmental power.

Of course you were not "challenged"...why? You can never prove a lie or disprove the truth. Its clear, you are a liar....did I really expect you to prove anything? I simply expected you do exactly what you did....attempt to deflect away those lies. That's why I'm here.....to wind up lying asses like a top, and watch as they come spinning out of the corner their own lies have painted them into. Popcorn? :)

Thanks sweetheart.

If you will quote me concisely, and prove me wrong, I'll be delighted to address it.

But groundless froth like "You can never ... disprove the truth." is a conspicuous absurdity to those of us that understand debate tactics, logical fundamentals, etc.

What is claimed to be the truth is not necessarily the truth.

I prefer not to debate abstractions.

You make a concise factual assertion.
And I'll embrace the option to evaluate it.

You're welcome.

More attempted DEFLECTION? Really? More fake pragmatic attempts at lies...attempting to establish a false premise? Indeed we can tell just how intelligent you actually are by following your skills around this thread in relation to the RULES OF DEBATE. Priceless. To bad about OBAMA CARE? I can see why the left insisted upon collective care...those daily visits to the ER in order to put your shoulder back into its proper socket after the constant attempt to pat oneself on the back can get expensive. Laugh My Ass Off. Must you still wonder just why you lost the election..snowflake? :)

With that thinking you likely would have loved Stalin and his mass murder of millions of Russians in the old USSR.
 
I worked in Nigeria for about 18 months. Now they are racist among themselves like son of a bitches. Blank Panthers and KKK has nothing on them folks. They HATE other people from other tribes. I was fucked from day one because I had no idea what in the hell they were bitching about one person or the other and tribes and shit. Them folks kill each other over nothing more than what tribe they come from.
Go to Central America. Fucking Belizeans HATE Guatemalans.
On and ON and On........Hate/Racism is not unique to one country nor one people.

Whatever isn't just your racism here needs it pointed out that colonialism works by divide and rule, and that the Biafran War of Independence is a bloody sight closer than the time the American tribes fought one another at Gettysburg and such. We all know how Southerners and Yanks love one another, I suppose, even after hugely longer.

Your right. But I'll tell you it was intense. We had a manager in one of our plants there that was from a tribe up north. We literally had to get him out with body guards.


Little matter of the religious hatred you Americans have been so determinedly creating, perhaps?

Well sorta I guess.
The South and North have erased the Geography/Economics that separated them. The wealth has migrated from the North to The South. Obumbo, The Great Divider, has now separated people not by race, economic class but by ideology. He has succeeded in ideology warfare. War on Law Enforcement. War on the working class, war on the suburbs (see wealth redistribution).
This strategy for his New America has been rejected since 2008....thus the slow/steady rise of the conservative/nationalist movement. Local, State and Federal Government(s) have been taken by the Right. Trump is not the final culmination of this movement. He is just a chapter. More to come as the Left is in total denial and is continuing with failed policies and leadership, globally. Racism is learning a new definition from race to ideology. If you do not believe and live the way I do we will label you as a racist, bigot etc. It is the new racism. Thoughts?

I dont think so as Nigeria is influenced much more by its European overlords and European culture. I worked for a British company at the time.
I think your giving America too much credit here.

Perhaps I'm being interested by what I read of American posts. I don't think such religious hatred has been evident since the Crusades stopped attacking Islam and turned to robbing Christians, because it was easier.
