    Jalen Ramsey doing a lot of talking lately.

    He did a lot of talking last year too, but the media is picking up on it more now that he is established as a legitimate player and his team is established as being legitimate as well.

    Sadly the track record for the right is worse. There is a reason 100% of racists vote repu

    Link to the data that supports this claim?

    So basically black people are too dumb to know who to vote for and easily fooled by trickery lol gtfo with that narrative. The right is no better and will do more of the same 

    I never said they are dumb.  That is your own insecurity, but apparently the left does think they are dumb considering they tell them they can't succeed without their help.  What they are selling is a bunch of bullshit, but I do admit it all sounds really good.

    I also acknowledge both parties are full of shit and will do anything for votes. I just find it funny the conventional wisdom is the left has always been the party that has had black people's (and all other minorities) best interests in mind.  So much so, that they have done nothing to help them for 50 years.  Good virtue signaling for 50 years though.

    There are people on the left who call minorities who take differing political stances than what they feel they should have "uncle tom's" in order to discredit them. Just like there are people on the right who act like a lot of the left-wing types speaking out against certain things are "crisis actors" getting that Soros money in order to discredit them. Just another of the million things where both sides are basically the same as far as being shitheels goes, but try to pretend those sorts of shenanigans are only prevalent on the other side.

    The "it happens on both sides" argument doesn't really come into play with this topic.  There are full retards on both sides, and then there are legitimately smart people deceiving people and doing everything they can do to make sure their conventional wisdom is not broken. One is much more prevalent than the other. There is a reason why black people continuously vote for the side that promises them that they have their best intentions in mind (not to mention these people end up running their towns) and then still hold the lowest median household income after all of these years.

    No sitting Democratic member of Congress called Condoleeza Rice an Uncle Tom. No member of the Democratic National Committee called Condoleeza Rice an Uncle Tom. And on and on. In any case, the burden of proof is on you who is making the extraordinary claim. The burden of proof is not on the person who questions the extraordinary claim. 

     

    If you read the thread, I never said they were called uncle toms.  I explained the modern day "uncle tom" tactics.  Please try to keep it.   

    As for the bolded: Each "extraordinary" claim is completely independent from each other, so IOW you're narrative that conservatives overreact to everything the left does/says is largely exaggerated.

    The right cares about black people? Lolol

    That's what you gathered from my post?  Didn't you previously say earlier in this thread you are not dumb? Lolol

    IOW you're narrative that "the left" gives black conservatives Uncle Tom treatment is largely exagerrated. As with nearly every think that some on the left do these days that rustles conservatives - it is exaggerated. 

    Please provide evidence of these - not just a few isolated examples.

    It’s funny that this term identity politics gets thrown around when I question the validity of someone who has only voted once in their life, and has held their beliefs for exactly 18 months as the shining beacon for free thinking black people

    It's the mere fact she challenges the conventional wisdom for minorities and states that the left actually doesn't give a fuck about them or do anything to help them.  Plenty of "free thinkers" have said this, but she became a more prominent "brand" when Kanye recognized her.  It's really not that difficult to understand.  I wish more minorities would listen/read the content provided by the people I listed earlier (along with CHS), but if Candace (with a huge assist by Kanye) is going to be the one to get minorities to break conventional thought, I am ok with it.

    Please provide examples of "the left" giving these people "Uncle Tom Treatment" en masse - not just a few isolated examples. 

    lol no, I am not going to go thru every person I listed and provide examples for you to scoff at.  I like how you gave yourself an out though by requesting no isolated examples.  Sets yourself up to always say I am giving anecdotal evidence no matter how much evidence is provided.  I see thru that bs. 

    You love your google searches, just google each name and you will have plenty.  You're not dumb and I know you weren't living under a rock.  You paid attention to the 2012 GOP primary and 2016 GOP primary to know how they media treated Cain and Carson.   You also know how the media treated Rice and Powell when they under the Bush administration.

    Who?

    Thomas Sowell, Hermain Cain, Larry Elder, Walter Williams, any black republican (Rice, Powell before he supported Obama, Ben Carson, etc), Clarence Thomas, etc.  It doesn't matter how smart/credible they are, they will get the modern day "uncle tom" treatment.

    That is my point. She is the insert black person. Your words not mine. What other accolades does she have that would bear u referencing her opinion other than what you just said. She’s black. She has no other opinions or platforms or credibility outside of bashing dems and blm. Are you saying Omarosa was qualified to work in the Whitehouse? Why do you think she was hired? Given trumps latest tweet he told on himself

    I am not saying shit about Omarosa. I haven't said a word about her, so i am not sure why you are trying to go down that path..  I watched that first season of the Apprentice, I knew she was bat shit crazy.   All i said was your response pretty much proves Candace's point. You're making it very easy for her to improve her credibility, even though you don't believe she has any.  Congrats. 

    I get your point, but you're missing mine.  It doesn't matter whether the person is the smartest in the world or has no credibility, they both would receive the same type of backlash i just described, because they don't fit the left's typical narrative for black people.   

    Whether you believe she is credible or not, it doesn't change the fact that her content brings up some very valid points.  There are plenty of others who are black people much smarter than Candace, much more credible than her, and also have brought up the same exact valid points that she brings up.  They all receive the same exact backlash as she does.

    Call it the ConservaDerp version of affirmative action - no matter how little credentials a hot young woman of color might have - as long as she owns the libs and rails about the liberal welfare plantation show her the money!

    This also still doesn't change the fact you can sub Candace for another black person with the same rhetoric, and that person would receive the same type of backlash from the left. Plenty of examples out there.  See: every some what right leaning black person.

    I am just waiting for the "Uncle Tom" comment from one of you libs, because we all know it's coming.

    The new version of this is just to mock them endlessly or find one comment/action from their past to completely discredit them.  Plenty examples outside of Candace Owens.

    I gotta give the left credit, they have their identity playbook down.  If racial topic is brought up, you have 0 credibility and have no say, because you aren't black.  If you respond "ok, well here are (insert black person(s)) who agree with your exact take, then the next response is "LOL at using a token black person to support your agenda."  Either that or they just mock the person endlessly.

    My point is not to bash Candace Owens but to point out her and Omarosa are the same person. Candace Owens was born in 1989 and has a hs diploma, her main qualification is that she is black 

    You just defined basic level identity politics.  Congratulations.

    Very possible. Astros have a bunch of injuries and a much tougher schedule down the stretch. If I were the Stro's I'd be worried about winning their division with the A's only one game behind them. Houston may not even make the playoffs.

    Wow, I periodically check on that division race and figured Houston had a comfortable lead.  I would love if Houston and NYY are playing in the wild card.

    From her own Wikipedia page 

     

     

    I am aware of her history.  It doesn't change the fact that she currently makes solid points about the left and you could sub her out for any other black person with the same rhetoric and they would garner the same type of responses.

    Yep. Coleman was trash. I’ll never forget his terrible drop agains the Steelers in week 17 last year. He makes that catch and we may not have been the second winless team of all time. 

    Wow, I completely forgot about this.
