And the answer is “Still us.”
There’s an even more influential group that doesn’t support Harris.
If Kamala can’t get their votes, she’s toast!
I’m waiting for a reporter to ask her when she stopped beating her wife.
Dickhead is now dragging his 9/11 Truther schtick into the Cheney endorsed Harris thread.
I mean everyone knows that 9/11 was organized by the Bush/Cheney cabal to destroy Trump’s World Trade Center properties and try to preempt His rise to power. Only a second Trump term will finally allow us to get to the truth.
And I reported it, since that is not only against the rules (you can’t push those CTs on this board as it’s a tired topic) but it’s an old problem that PJ has gotten in trouble for in the past.
And they are now suspended for at least 24 hours.
Good move, @What_Exit. You might want to add that disgusting greenish-yellow mod color to the post.
I did @Smapti let me know I missed it.
I’m back, but I’m just going to relax and not post until the election is over.
Arguing with Split brings too much heat vs. too little light. Set that aside to get a clear look at the phenomenon he’s describing. I recommend reading a wide range of contemporary Black American political thought to view it in perspective.
There is a strain of thought that anyone who belongs to the “Talented Tenth,” i.e. any Black American who achieves top levels of success in their profession, and in particular HBCU Greeks (like Kamala Harris’s ΑΚΑ), is a traitor to their people, a sellout to the White power system. The Talented Tenth comes in for more opprobrium sometimes than the White racists themselves. There is a sense that Whites gonna White no matter what, so they’re a known quantity. But it’s Black traitors who ought to know better than to cooperate with Whitey’s power system who earn the outrage. If you want to learn more of this strain of thought, visit F.D. Signifier on Youtube and follow the more radical strands leading from there.
Know that these ideas spring from a long conversation among Black American thinkers, with many diverse views on how to confront the racist system. You can trace strands of thought in the present day back to the divergence of views between, say, Zora Neale Hurston and W.E.B. Dubois and the debates they had with each other, or Malcolm X’s views vis-à-vis Martin Luther King’s. I’m saying there’s long been a richness of political ferment in Black American thought. I’d rhapsodize on the significance of James Baldwin for today if it wouldn’t get this too far off track.
As far as I can tell, all Split is really saying is that such radical Black thinkers exist out there in the world. He is foregrounding the active presence of such ideas. Is it because almost all of us were ignorant of them? (Quite plausible, I think) - or because he considers this fringe, anti-mainstream view important? (if so, he has yet to make that case).
No, he’s tried very hard to make that case. He insists that it’s all-important. Enough to bring it up over and over and try to frame it as the most challenging issue in this election.
Anyone who has actually followed PJ’s posts in the last few months would know this. (I don’t follow those posts much anymore though since I finally put him on ignore.)
HAHAHAHA!
Just for everyone’s awareness (and amusement), Mr. split has spread his vague but OH SO CERTAIN absurdity to the Puff Daddy arrest thread: Puff Daddy Arrested for Sex Trafficking - #90 by iiandyiiii
Also, for laughs, see this ridiculous (and mercifully brief) thread from last year: Biden needs a new VP
One day suspension and I’m trying to get him banned at this point. This is not how you return from a suspension.
Sorry, I moved his posts to the Cornfield. Maybe I should move them to the pit instead.
I was having fun. Split is one of the more entertaining cranks the Dope has had in recent times. A real unrepentant clown.
I’ll move the political hijack & BS to the Pit instead.
For the record, come right back from a suspension, and ignore the moderation of such. I’ll quote YOU on this with the following:
So yeah, it’s not a 9/11 CT post, but the whole Epstein thing? Yeah.
Ban 'em, Danno!
So much for…
Or maybe he missed the sarcasm in my meme-drop?
I think I was the first who (sarcastically) tied his Puff Daddy ravings to Epstein.
I kinda feel like the guy who gave a free Jack and Coke to someone celebrating their first sobriety coin.
