I’ve heard quite a few blacks say this, too. In general, they are. White people bend over backwards and even sell their dignity to “prove” they aren’t racist. Tons of blacks in this country blame Whitey for all their ills. Which sounds more racist to you?
Would that many many more intelligent but progressive-leaning types like Jan will regain their sight, and their insight, into how they are being used and what is being done to them and to America.
In Vino Veritas…there is truth in everything that was said; generalized yes but the exceptions prove the rule. As for blacks, think Ben Carson and Thomas Sowell, if those two could switch roles, Carson the commentator and Sowell the candidate, I know who my potus candidate would be. But in general, blacks are the most susceptible to being manipulated, controlled, agitated and incited…and the current wh occupant and his minions have been masterful at that, so much so that the comment about blacks being the most racist is the most true of all of the commenter’s “generalizations”, while all of the others are facilitators of that, led by the “organizer” in chief; after all that is his only real experience and talent.

I wouldn’t quite say that “blacks are the most susceptible to being manipulated, controlled, agitated and incited”. It’s not a weakness of a race. It’s that they have been the dedicated target of propaganda and bribery over the last 50 years – combine that with the LIV phenomenon (which is sadly widespread) and you get our current situation.
Concur on all else.
Then you concur 100%, as you have stated some of the reinforcing cause.
That dedicated targeting has been so successful that not only is the group as a “generalized” whole the most susceptible to control, but they are now being taken totally for granted, being used as muscle and diversion while their masters actively endeavor to replace them with Hispanics and others.

Just IMHO, there a lot of zero-information black voters out there. If Oprah recommended it, they’d vote for Adolph Hitler or Joe Stalin….
Actually “zero-information” applies to a lot of non-black voters, too, with the same Oprah caveat, or with the choices their Union suggests.
I really think we need the old “property owner” requirement for voting….
There is always the voting requirement from Heinlein’s Starship Troopers, a term of federal service.

Amen, brother. Anything that gets “Precious Snowflake” out of the house, away from Mommy and Daddy, and out in the cold, hard world long enough to learn the realities of life would be of inestimable value. Also, said term of service should be a requirement for entrance to college/university — and for the same reason(s).

Heinlein explained that being a requirement solely because it worked in context, not necessarily as a serious requirement.

Heinlein was brilliant. Every person who votes should know what a 150′ circle covered in white powder and body parts looks like.
This is not he-man stuff, this is the world’s ever-present reality… and if your opinion is to be officially weighed, you must have real, no eye-scales knowledge.

The downside of any mandatory national service it is both a monstrous tax in that one irreplaceable commodity, your time on Earth. And it forces all others to pay more taxes to pay for the unneeded drones in Federal Service.

Yes,property owner;or at least have a job.If the takers could not vote to take more,maybe it would discourage “taking” as a form of lifestyle,and the “taxed” could decide how to spend it.
Disagree with the “zero info” causation. It is much more mis- and dis-information that has been intentionally forcefed by the other entities mentioned by Vino, and yes also by their own glitterati that can and does cause them to act and vote in lockstep for Hitler or Hitllary.

So in other words, it’s not zero information, but negative amounts of it.
Jan has been coming to her senses for a while now, but her pride, or hubris, keeps trippin’ her up. When it comes to defending her cubs, she’s all in. A possible storyline, Mr. Muir?

To the comment about Black people I would add the observation that they seem to be especially susceptible to demagoguery. I do not see a white equivalent of Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton or their ilk. My Black friends agree. I do not understand it, I have simply observed the tendency.

Ah, Chris, want to share with us the source of that fine quote you put in Jan’s mouth? It’s is an excellent statement, and I do not doubt that you read it somewhere. Care to share the “where” with us? I’ve bee looking for it since I posted my earlier note and have been utterly stymied.

Have run into more than a few Liberals of similar thoughts. What have they become? Intellectually honest.
And, perhaps, true to *genuine liberalism*, classical, Jeffersonian liberalism. The liberalism–politically, the individualism–of our Founders.
In regard to the comments above, I would rather see the House/Senate popular vote redundancy replaced with the Senate being elected solely by and served by, tax payers. This might just temper the enthusiasm of the masses for spending other people’s money.

I might also add that the amount of tax paid would be proxy for voting power.
The more tax you pay the greater your influence.
Granted, this might effectively disenfranchise some of the 1%, but it would re-enfranchise the middle class.

Once upon a time, before the 17thA, the Senate was selected (not necessarily elected) by a small committee within the State – not by a popular vote of the people. The Senate was supposed to represent the interests of the State, to balance the interests of the people by the House of Representatives. So. . . .. repeal the 17thA. Yeah, I know, easier said than done. But there it is.
Nothing ever goes right or starts to go right. Mr. Murphy takes care of that!

Would not generalize about blacks. Otherwise.yes.
I’ve heard quite a few blacks say this, too. In general, they are. White people bend over backwards and even sell their dignity to “prove” they aren’t racist. Tons of blacks in this country blame Whitey for all their ills. Which sounds more racist to you?
They can also be terribly racist against other blacks, as well as other minorities.
Brown bag parties by blacks.
If you are darker than a brown grocery bag, you stay out.
That’s not racist, is it?
That is where the racists got all huffy about brown bags. Black actions.
Now about those black holes and what was in that squealing commissioner’s mind. Never mind.
Who is a lorenzo vino?
Perhaps Jan should ask: “Am I alive?” If she answer yes, then she’s a Toaster! 8)
“Welcome to the party, pal!”
The scales fell from her eyes…Acts 9:18

“…it’s not zero information, but negative amounts of it.”
As to dis-information, that is correct, the effect being to cause the targets of it to discard what they know to be true.
As to mis-information, that is the progaganda that is being force-fed to the target demographic to replace truth and fact.
Works like a champ too; witness our current potus, widespread unrest, racial and class unrest that was nearly nonexistent prior.
Precisely so.
