“Of course, we’re deprived of any painfully honest discussion of how much the Democrats need black voters in big cities to control the electoral votes of the swing states and why they’re having trouble getting these votes in the post-Obama era.”

This clip was within the article. Just posting it out here, for those who skip the article, because it's worth the reminder of what was said:

Of the first 1000 "slaves" brought to Virginia:

1) 998 of them were white,

2) None of them were slaves.  They were indentured servants, who became free men within 7 years of working off their indenture.

Sort of like they got their education (via apprenticeship), room and board for free and ended up having no student debt.

How did Kamala's Indian mother end up in Jamaica?

[row_33]

one entertaining article last week debunked a lot of the 1619 stuff

 

cotton was only a major crop for a few years, it was a longer fad than Tulip Bulb mania

 

and noted that Florida wasn't developed till well into the 20th century, so if cotton wasn't developed it  was no bigger economic loss than the fact that oranges weren't harvested until recently in history

 

and SUGAR was by far the most evil crop to work in (Louisiana's main max-sec prison still sends work details into the sugar cane fields, for which suicide and severe self-inflicted wounds is a major concern), and sugar wasn't a main crop of the US

some of this was tongue in cheek..

 

 

amazing how sugar gets this free ride on its harvesting slavery history and how it is allowed to put 60g in fruit drinks and coffees...

Jamaica was far better known for privateering than slavery.  So she was probably a pirate.

 

(Actually, she married a Jamican, she's originally from India.  I'm still going with "pirate.")

For that matter, how did Indians end up in all four corners of the world where the Brits still held colonies?

Sugar cane was actually so profitable that they'd work the slaves to death and import new ones rather than feed them.

the actual economics of the trade is interesting, took a few US history courses in University, one on slavery and Reconstruction

 

learned about some never-mentioned facts, one essay was on the rice crop's importance

 

5 months in Arkansas in the summer convinced me of that reality

The ‘reality’ is that the Left is promoting the same system now. It’s just that it’s in China and it’s all so that woke folk can get an iPhone for a few bucks less...and it helps that liberals can’t ‘see it from their house’!

I heard on the radio this morning that DeBlasio spent 7 HOURS in his office in May (two meetings and five phone calls).

To this, I say thank you Mr. Mayor, please don’t drop out of the race, ever!

Democrats Aim To Win Back Working Class With … A Meat Tax?

Issues & Insights, by The Editorial Board

 

Original Article

 

There’s been a spate of articles in recent days about how Democrats need to win back working-class voters who defected to President Donald Trump in 2016 if they want to regain the White House.

 

Right in the middle of this discussion, Sen. Bernie Sanders provided yet another reminder of how incredibly, unbelievably out of touch the Democratic Party is with those voters. An AP story this week talked about how Democrats face an “identity crisis” as they try to answer the question, “How can they peel back Trump’s support with white working-class voters while boosting turnout with minorities and suburban women?”

DOES ELIZABETH WARREN EVEN REMEMBER WRITING THIS BOOK? It was titled “The Two-Income Trap”

 

and it argued, perhaps unknowingly, for the proposition that progressive taxes harm two-income families. Somebody should ask the candidate about this.

About that disastrous race for the Democratic Party's presidential nomination....

 

Some new polls (via Real Clear Politics?



What a mess! Biden is too old and too mentally weak to be President, yet he's just sitting there at the top, immobile. And the only other strong candidates are the distinctly lefty Warren and Sanders. Harris cannot advance to double digits. And the mayor of a small city is inexplicably parked in fifth place. What about all the governors? Have they all dropped out, or are some of them still in and invisible?

The polls are awful for the Democrats, who've exacerbated their problem with their structure for the debates — discussed in today's NYT podcast "The Daily" today: "The Sudden-Death Phase of the Democratic Primaries."

95% of voters couldn't care less about the election until the conventions

 

polls don't matter, people will answer any question you throw at them

 

 

 

one thing that always bothered me, a friend was on to his doctorate in sociology, his focus on juvenile criminals

 

so i asked him how he trusted any answer a felon gave him in an interview and he said he always assumed they were telling the truth

 

okay.....  i'd assume they were always lying but you know...
