    I think similarly when I see straight White men declaring that we are under attack. They don't speak for me, but that doesn't stop them from making blanket statements. I doubt murphree believes he can literally speak for every Black person. He can't. But Black Americans do have a unique shared experience in a way that we don't. And unlike us straight White guys, Black folks seem under-represented on this forum.

    I wouldn't call that "woke."

    I would call that a liberal person who was already liberal who has an entirely understandable sensitivity to actual White Supremacists getting angry at one of the darker points of Trump's Presidency where he downplayed the influence of White Supremacists.

    The Charlottesville incident has been discussed ad nauseam, and Trump did condemn the White Supremacists in Charlottesville. But downplaying the evils of the incident in the first place was inexcusable.

    I also think that comparing any radical group that is arguably racist to the Klan is too far because the Klan literally went around murdering people.

    To be clear, murphree never said that he speaks for all blacks.
    As usual, it’s the pompous ass white liberal crowd in here who know everything and enjoy starting shit.

    It depends on the individual - I can’t make blanket statements like that for an entire race lol. But you’re the one that said they’ve been fooled by liberal media.

    for poor people, of which blacks are disproportionately effected, it helps because democrats want more social support networks. One example is the ACA - there has been a 40% decline in the uninsured rate for blacks since ACA was enacted.

    More employment, less unemployment.

    Tell history like it happened, don't make it special for one group, if you are going to teach courses in black history teach courses in white history and Asian history. If you are going to have a black history month have a white history month. What does storming the Capital have to do with racism? You are doing exactly what you are accusing the Republican party of doing in reverse.

    You think there's been a lack of white history being taught in American schools?

    I presume people who make moronic posts are morons. Just a public service announcement.

    I don’t know. I have seen data that shows blacks do well under both kinds of administration.

    If you're looking at total unemployment, going back to 1952, every Republican president has left office with the rate higher than when he entered, except Reagan. It went down for him.
    Meanwhile, every Democratic president has left with a lower rate than when he entered, except Carter. His was the same.

    Black unemployment figures I've seen only go back to 1972. Again, every GOP president has left with a higher rate except Reagan. It went down. It went up during Ford, Bush, Bush and Trump.
    Democratic presidents - up during Carter, down for Clinton and Obama.
    The biggest drops were during Clinton and Obama.

    Were the numbers significant enough to post this claim?
