Black Lives Matter, Racism: A Conservative Perspective (Larry Elder Interview)

[Dashinka 24,493]

So were his comments educated as Bill had claimed or are they along the lines of the stuff that you have posted here for years? You guys will have to decide because it's one or the other but not both. They're mutually exclusive. Believe me.

Watch the video, or at least listen to it. Of course since he is dark skinned and a conservative, he has already been stereotyped, but he certainly can back up his views.

The guy who posted it initially. Duh!

Who's Rick?

LIB says some crazy stuff at times, it's true. But then so do we all. And often, he presents cogent arguments that are just blown off by certain members here just because they like to mock him and put him down, and frequently cannot argue with what he posts logically.

But I'll say this about LIB... I don't know if I have ever seen him attack another person on this forum, even though he is often the victim of said attacks by yourself and several others. I'd be happy to shake his hand and buy him a beer if ever our paths crossed...

Agree never seen him on the attack

20% of Americans think Obama is a foreigner. Lost is hardly alone in that.

Copying and pasting is what this forum is all about. Period. I haven't seen very many on the left offer up actual opinions on a topic, other than slamming people for not thinking the same way they do, or the cutsie little one-liner backhanded attacks that are cleverly disguised personal attacks.

Take yourself, for example. One liners. Snide comments. Very little substantive input and rarely any followable logic aside from what I said above.

Fact is lost never really says much of anything but rather peddles - as in copies and pastes - this lunatic fringe hogwash off the internet. And he's certainly part of the ultra paranoid far right in this country if what he posts here is any indication of who this fella really is. For starters, he's a birther and that right there tells me that he cannot be the brightest candle on the cake. Whoever fell for that nonsense really has issues.

Never said he was. There are lots of candles on this American cake. And it seems that a good percentage doesn't burn as brightly as the others. Fact is, there was never any real, actual basis for having any doubt whatsoever about where the President was born and whether or not he was a natural born US citizen. None. For anyone to fall for the ridiculous hype that those unhappy with the prospect of a black man in the White House peddled at the time, one would either have to have shared that unhappiness or not be all that sharp. Or both. There's no other explanation for it.

Is this booklet evidence that Barack Obama was actually born in Kenya? Not even the site that published it makes that claim, noting in a disclaimer that:

Andrew Breitbart was never a "Birther," and Breitbart News is a site that has never advocated the narrative of "Birtherism." In fact, Andrew believed, as we do, that President Barack Obama was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, on August 4, 1961.

That's what you stake your birtherism on? Then it's worse than I thought.

sorry ma'am.

I listened to the video and must say that he reminds me of cheese. Swiss cheese. Full of holes.

I do agree with some of his points but the rest is rhetoric that seeks to find a niche to advance his agenda

which is said to be looking for wiggle room to climb the GOP ladder. To achieve that he has to talk their talk.

He is so eager to spew that he will not even listen to his host. A debater to further his cause but as I

said, Swiss cheese.

His perspective does not represent those that are treated unfairly. He is obviously someone well off but

the majority would love to have a slice of the pie, not given to them but reachable from the same

point of opportunity. As long as he makes money with his TV show what does he care that others can't make it

on a meager minimum wage, crabs in a bucket comes to mind. Step on their heads to climb out but don't under any

circumstances reach back to give a helping hand to those trying to climb out behind you and rubbing their fingers to

bloody stubs in the process.

I am 100% for not being victim minded, get an education, work hard and try to make it but for many his reality

is not their reality.

A lot of words comparing him to cheese and talking of bloody stubs and pie. Not one single thought out disagreement to anything he said.

I loved your line about slamming people for not thinking the same way they do. Kind of a fascist mentality in my opinion, but of course they will never admit it.
