Ice Dice talked all that shit within the identify of Black energy and its revealed he's working with donald trump. Black oppression will all the time be offered to the best bidder. This dude acted like he wasn't voting for both candidate when he was working all this time with Trump. Coward.

It’s the dismissive nature of the criticisms and the defensive tones compelled upon public figures breaking with the left that means there’s a lengthy highway forward relating to Democrats and their willingness to interact with girls and black voters whom they see as ignorant as a result of their political views break with no matter narratives about race and intercourse they’ve concocted of their minds.
The colour of 1’s pores and skin and one’s intercourse ought to by no means create a typical of opinions for them to stay as much as. True equality is being allowed to suppose no matter you select and for folks to pay attention and have interaction with the concepts fairly than turning in direction of particulars about an individual that don’t have anything to do with politics.

Trump critics could paint themselves as do-gooder social justice warriors combating for civil rights, however the outright refusal to even take heed to those that face the precise discrimination they converse of every day once they occur to disagree with what’s thought of the ‘norm’ reveals they’re actually solely all in favour of defending and interesting with these inside their political bubble. This myopic considering is a matter regardless of who’s president. The left has an issue partaking with concepts for the time being, particularly ones that come from folks with the pores and skin shade or gender they assume ought to imply they already agree with them.
