Democratic accusations that America is endemically racist are becoming ever more frequent and strident. At the last presidential debate, Pete Buttigieg announced that “systemic racism” will “be with us” regardless of who wins the presidency; Beto O’Rourke claimed that racism in America is “foundational” and that people of color were under “mortal threat” from the “white supremacist in the White House”; Julián Castro denounced the growing threat of “white supremacy”; and Cory Booker called for “attacking systemic racism,” especially in the “racially biased” criminal-justice system.
At the same time, the allowable explanations for racial disparities have shrunk to one: that self-same racism. During this month’s debate, Joe Biden tried to suggest

Projection. The Democrats have always disliked the African Americans and continue to be racist

So why do Blacks and POC continue to live in America and millions more of them seeking to get into the USA, mostly illegally?. With all this racism and white supremacy so rampant, one would think the illegal immigrant movement would be the other way. Perhaps they are all masochists?

Boy, I'm sure the dems and the left media would like to expunge Obama's 2008 address from the record.

The referenced speech in 2008 was an exception.
Obama’s election was intended to unite us as a nation. Instead, he and his minions in politics, Hollywood, academia, and especially the media ended up polarizing us worse than we have been since the 60’s.
His presidency wasn’t about uniting us, it was about “getting even.” And the current crop of Democrat candidates and the odious media are throwing more gasoline on the flames. No one wins, except leftist politicians and the press who crave outrage “clicks.”
Despite everyone’s standard of living improving, I’ve never felt such palpable hatred as I do in this country, and make no mistake, it doesn’t come from white people.

The lack of a father comes from welfare making it economically advantageous for there to be no father in the family. The mother has no economic need to have the father marry her and stay married to her, family structure is destroyed. The family unit has always been an economic unit - the most efficient one. Welfare needs to be restructured so that intact families are not penalized for being that.

After PDT's second term, should he run for mayor of NYC in 2025?
(PDT probably won't but it is fun to create havoc in liberal minds.)

Johnson, like other presidents, would often reveal his true motivations in asides that the press never picked up. During one trip, Johnson was discussing his proposed civil rights bill with two governors. Explaining why it was so important to him, he said it was simple: “I’ll have them niggers voting Democratic for two hundred years.”

Agree #6; I've had that thought, too. He could straighten out NYC with one hand tied behind his back and one eye closed. It would be fun to watch.

The only "systemic racism" is affirmative action.

Our politics need a reality check. We should not pay attention to what they say, but what they do.
Progressives/Democrats claim to have compassion for us "deplorables," but in city after city where they have been in control, we see ever increasing numbers of homeless people living in poverty, neglect and squalor. Many of these people have turned to drugs and have mental problems.
By contrast, President Trump has done much to improve the lives of every day citizens in spite of a constant campaign of lies and slander by Progressives/Democrats and their fellow travelers. What he does is good for the country. Unlike the Progressives/Democrats he does what he promises.
