The funniest thing about Aunt Jemima was this was an actual real-life person that actually was black and basically a somewhat well-known character during an era of segregation. She never thought it was racist and it made black actors and entertainers more acceptable in advertising and film (which led directly to Jazz, Blues, Aretha Franklin, James Brown, the Jackson Five etc).

She was one of the first black people some children in segregated schools had ever seen when the company took her to white schools to advertise their pancake mix and syrups. This normalized black people for many whites.

She will probably have had much more of a positive impact on black people than George Floyd and pretty much every other bad actor of the last decade whose names are already forgotten (that guy that got shot after attacking a neighborhood watchman, that guy that got shot after charging at police and that guy that got shot after fighting with police).

Where are the TuPac's and the MLK's of today?

An article on the influence of Aunt Jemima on electing Obama (2014): https://madison.com/news/opinion/mailbag/john-morgan-a-story-about-aunt-jemima-s-influence/article_7b13ee21-92d0-5706-8159-563ee8195634.html

Basically the same leftists now claiming it is racist, want you to forget about how black people forged their own paths, because then they, the white knights, can claim both responsibility and paternalize the black community.

Attorney General Bill Barr...what do you think of him?

by minimus in

jw

the us attorney general appears to be a polarizing figure.

he certainly is not like his predecessor from alabama, jeff sessions .

barr seems to speak his mind and i really don’t think that he has a problem sticking up for what he believes in.. i like him but i also liked sessions.

Anony Mous

Seems like an honest guy, trying to do his job. Not easy in the current climate, given he's often stuck between Trump, the Left and the Law.

So far, Barr hasn't played favorites like his predecessors. Sessions seemed like a good guy, but simply been in Washington too long and trying to appease too many parties to keep things running, Loretta Lynch before him, we all know about the corruption by now.

What Happened at the Tulsa Rally? I Thought There Were Requests for a Million Tickets?

by RubaDub in

jw
friends

it just seems rather odd to me that supposedly a million people had tickets or wanted tickets and yet the upper deck of the arena was half empty (or less) and they cancelled the outdoor overflow thing.

just a bit strange based from what was reported the day before.. i wonder if it was no-shows or being overly optimistic..

Anony Mous

@sparky1: According to Reuters it did happen though. It seems the press simultaneously is saying there were and there weren't thousands of BLM protestors and throngs of Trump people fighting. According to one, a Trump supporter sprayed pepper spray at a crowd.

So if the groups blocking and antagonizing Trump supporters didn't exist, how did they get sprayed with pepper spray?

According to CBS:

About two hours ahead of Mr. Trump's rally, the National Guard and Oklahoma police formed a police line inside the rally perimeter. Officers also closed a gate along one of the street entrances to the rally.

From Twitter:

Security gates at 4th & Cheyenne are closed right now. News On 6’s Dan Hawk tells me Black Lives Matter showed up & someone (not sure who) closed the gates not long after (around 3:15pm). No one allowed in.

Apparently there were some tussles as BLM protestors formed a line in front of the entrances. Trump supporters left peacefully later.

Of course the MSM wouldn't report on those facts but Twitter and other outlets had many complaining they couldn't get in.

Why Don't Conservatives Take the Lead in Technology?

by RubaDub in

jw
friends

why is there constant criticism about "liberals" driving new technology?

web sites, social platforms, etc.

if the us is relatively evenly divided, why do all "new" things seem to come from the liberal side?

Anony Mous

It depends on what you qualify as liberal and new technology. Plenty of innovation happens amongst conservatives, you just don't hear about it because it's not really interesting to you.

But farmers and oil companies continuously innovate and drive new technology, they are the ones that between the 50s and today increased yields an order of magnitude on the same plots of land. Fracking and shale gas made the US fuel-independent in the last 4-5 years. The primarily conservative military gave you everything from computer chips to GPS while the liberals did everything to defund those war efforts throughout the cold war.

Zuckerberg and Musk aren't thoroughbred liberals either, they lean pretty heavy on the conservative side although their companies are in California, so their staffers are liberal but often come into conflict with their bosses. Zuckerberg is well known to have people like Tucker Carlson and Ben Shapiro over for dinner. Then you have people that used to have conservative values like Bill Gates in the 90s but as time progressed, he became more of a liberal.

Most people I know that have their own business aren't far-right conservatives but are more conservative leaning. People that are liberal-leaning are generally people that rent, don't have a business and are generally younger and less experienced. Business owners don't like high taxes and minimum wage increases because they know from experience it closes businesses and increases poverty and unemployment.

Most Americans are neither far-left nor far-right, most Americans are somewhere in between. I myself am an atheist, a social liberal but fiscally I'm conservative-leaning. I wouldn't mind voting for a Democrat if they had good policies, but right now, that bird has flown the coop. The Democrats will need to learn by losing more elections that the far-left wing of their party is doing more damage to them than they realize. Both Biden and Clinton could've won their elections if they wouldn't have tolerated people like Sanders and an entire pack of far-left ultra-rich idiot candidates this election cycle.

What is Truth?

by Sea Breeze in

ravi zacharias just passed away the other day.

this is his defense on jesus being the truth.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3n77d4dugp4.

Anony Mous

Truth is just a word, it has varying definitions depending on context.

Truth can be an eyewitness testimony they believe is true. That doesn't mean it is factual. Eyewitnesses are notoriously fallible and memories can morph over time.

Truth can be a scientific theory. It is the best explanation we have for certain events but it is possible to invalidate by presenting a better explanation.

Truth can be a mathematical axiom. Something that is true regardless of interpretation. It is very likely that other species or other intelligent life will have come to the same axioms such as the speed of light in a vacuum, the age of the observable Universe, the Planck constants and other absolutes.

Truth can be a religious statement. It's just so because a religious leader says it's so. It is the weakest form of facts and evidence.

Black Lives Matter—Do You Agree With Their Philosophy?

i agree with people who say all lives matter.

i think blm is a racist group.

if white people pushed an agenda saying white lives matter, some people would have a conniption..

Anony Mous

@Sparky:

you see nothing wrong with this statement?

In affirming that Black Lives Matter, we need not qualify our position

That is a religious creed and the fact they feel they don't need to qualify their position just tells you they have nothing qualitative about it. You just HAVE to accept their position or you are labeled a racist. And you get absolution for being a racist by invoking their creeds.

The BLM movement is a search for the religious and moral void left in secular education and society, it is a religion in itself where you get your morality back by saying the words.

What it does do is give primarily white people in power influence in the black community. They recognize that they have no standing to talk about black issues and poverty so they invented a reason to become part of the black community and be able to talk about black people and their plights. It is taking away the voices of reason within the black community and transferring that power to white, rich, Hollywood liberals that now, by invoking the creeds, get a say in the issues.

In the wake of Ferguson's "rewiring of the police departments" by the Obama DOJ, an extra 1000 black people have died per year (statistically, an increase of 1000 deaths in criminal activity) in those cities where Obama's DOJ established new "non-racist" policies that primarily reduced police presence and reduced the type of responses police were allowed to do.

NYC just saw an increase of 133% month-over-month in murders, 45% increase in shooting victims, primarily in the black communities, in the wake of the protests and DeBlasio's order to reduce police presence.

What's ironic is that these products are popular in the black community because they have a black person on the packaging.

If the people asking for these boycotts spent ANY time in an actual black community, they would know how RACIST they are for basically saying that "blacks are so stupid, they need a white person to research the history of these products and then we need to erase the black person history and their stories".

And the need to erase history is necessary for the Democrats, after all, every racist policy of that era was Democrat - Civil War - Lincoln was a Republican, the South were Democrats; KKK, Democrats; Planned Parenthood: explicitly started by a Democrat to provide cheap/free abortions with the explicit goal to disrupt and reduce the numbers of black babies. Veterans bill which rejected black people from benefiting - Democrat FDR; opposition to the Civil Rights movements: Democrats; 1994 Crime Bill mass incarcerating black people: Biden, Clinton Democrats

Do You Believe Polls Saying Trump Will Lose To Biden?

by minimus in

jw

a new fox poll says biden is up by 12 percentage points.

of course, most other polls say trump will be trounced this time around.. do you think the polls might be right this time?

.

Anony Mous

As always, the polls generally do not track specific candidates amongst likely voters, they just randomly call people and get a popularity vote.

Biden is more popular right now because he's been in the basement, he will most likely win the popular vote as long as he doesn't speak, but that's not how you pick a candidate. The minute Biden enters a podium and thereby the media spotlight, the real numbers will start coming in.

Given Biden has not yet picked a VP, you can't track the Biden ticket yet because it doesn't exist yet. Even if he wins the popular vote, he has to win the state votes and there a Biden win is very unlikely unless he flips pretty much all of the swing states which voted overwhelmingly for Trump last time and Clinton was a more potent candidate than Biden, especially in the demographics where it matters.

Biden's core demographics:

- Blacks - have been disillusioned by the establishment Democrats and more and more conservative black voices are coming up.

- Progressive young people - have been disillusioned as well but for different reasons, Biden isn't Sanders, he's not far enough to the left, young voters will stay home.

- Soccer/security moms - Defund the police won't be popular policy there

- Suburbs - White flight and Democratic strongholds polarization is having a very strong effect on the demographics and interests of the suburbs, turning typically blue districts more and more purple. Defund the police won't be popular there either.
