I'm no fan of Roland's, but even a broken clock is right twice a day. He was speaking some facts (and some half truths) in his Breakfast Club interview. It's worth a watch for the political discourse.
Our problem isn't voting for the Democrats.
My opinion is don't get them elected in the first place if they aren't offering anything.
You missed the point. Stop getting caught up in a candidate's party, and focus on what they will promise and deliver to us.
Name another Democrat who has even remotely done anything for black people or ran in a black empowerment platform.
Tell your wife's people that. Every white hispanic in Los Angeles is going crazy because their political power is at risk. They understand that voting is a show of force, and would call you a pinche mayate if you told them not to excercise their power. If you think that voting is something to do just for the sake of doing it, then you don't understand the process, and you should just stay on the sidelines.
Well right now neither party is talking to our interest so in that event I will abstain from voting in anything but local matters. There are some propositions that are important to me but outside of that I'm not voting for anyone.
The fact that my wife is Hispanic has jack shit to do with it. For one hispanics get something for their vote.
The sad thing is a lot of black people listen to, follow, and think like this guy.
Spot on with that. Too many are willing to go along to get along, just dont rock "their" boat. SMH
If it didn't, then you wouldn't have multiple posts telling us how proud you are that your wife is white, and how she runs you, your house, and your pockets.
The hispanics get something for their vote because they leverage their political power and move as a unit. They didn't amass that power by crying on a message board every other week about not being able to convince people to vote red. They gained political power by voting the people they want into office, and voting the people they don't want out of office. It's not a complicated concept.
Nah, I'm not old.
You're right, I married a Black woman.
Your wife is white & you're a former cop. You came on this very site and said that Black women said that you're corny, and you've put down Black women in multiple posts. Your people aren't my people.
Yeah...you're wrong again, but you seem like the type to misjudge regular Black people. I wonder if you look down on your white Trump-loving zaddy neighbor the same way...
I'm not trying to make you do anything.
No need to turn up on me, potna. You should've had that energy when that white woman was finessing you to put money on that jailbird's books. Get your own house in order before you come for me, fella.
Not all the way true. What you’re saying is basically that we are the cause of our own issue, that we are not playing the game properly which isn’t true. Hispanics get something for their vote because white power wants them as a buffer class so it is supporting them.
www.bbc.com I didn't say that. You're twisting my words.
That sounds like a defeatest attitude. We don't get anything for our vote because we don't consolidate & vote as a unit. That's what Dr. Claud Anderson says we should do, and I agree with him.that we are not playing the game properly which isn’t true. Hispanics get something for their vote because white power wants them as a buffer class so it is supporting them.
Wilmington 1898: When white supremacists overthrew a US government - BBC News
In 1898 a white mob stormed Wilmington, North Carolina and forced locally elected leaders to resign.
We don’t get anything for our vote because they hate us.
Mason is a great example because the Black residents continued to fight instead of just saying "they hate us".
Yes but they didn’t vote their way to keeping the city which is the whole point just like Ukrainians didn’t vote for billions or just like the illegals didn’t vote for the $300M they are getting for resources in New York or the 450k per person Biden is allegedly giving them per displaced person under the table.
I'm going to just call a spade a spade.
Show me one post where I've suggested that we vote for a Democrat other than Marcel Dixon.
First off I don't need your money.
This!! Both Rollie Forbes and MR-D-ROB ... y'all said the same thing in those first few posts. Somebody needs to go back and read and cool off a bit.
Looks like the same thing to me...
Agree. I'm all about tossing the whole boat over. Rock their whole world.
There has to be a reason why the mainstream media keeps entertaining Roland. It cannot be because he keeps our people's attention.
He wants the shine and probably he knows this is his last leg. He is about to lose his nice benefits the system gave him over the years.
Bingo. That is exactly what it is. Real power is hidden. They yanked his chain and told him to get out there. They want to muddy the waters.
I would like to hear your answer to this in bold (not in the open) since I am a person who knows we will need to get some kind of power and particularly in the South where our people are most concentrated.
We have tried alliances in the past. What have they accomplished? Nothing. We walk away thinking the other person is our "friend", and the other person just walked away gaining some kind of advantage over us. Our people keep helping them, and Roland is one. He has to know that alliances have not helped. He is Boule and is on their side.
