The Real timschochet

You mean the ones I use twice a year? Nope. And I pay them very well.

Today appears to have been a terrible day for justice. But that’s OK. Eventually it will all be overturned. Birthright citizenship is not going away whatever that moron Trump thinks. In the meantime I just sent more money to the ACLU. They are fighting the good fight against these folks.

Hello. Dont recognize you but you’re sure are spouting a whole bunch of nonsense, especially in light of Jan 6, 2021, and Trump’s subsequent pardoning of people who are responsible for the deaths of policemen.

She offends me. https://forums.footballguys.com/threads/official-president-joe-biden-thread-best-ever.790013/post-23877008 My favorite The Democratic Party is funded by unions and corporations. These two groups will NEVER let socialist types take control of the party. It’s not going to happen. AOC and Bernie and the rest are loud, and growing louder, but they will never have real power. https://forums.footballguys.com/threads/im-trying-to-figure-out-if-i-left-the-republican-party-or-did-they-leave-me.803715/post-23966822 All of this was 100% true. But you guys gave us Trump. Now as a result progressives are starting to rise in the Democratic Party. I don’t much like it but here we are. Blame yourselves. That’s what you get when you vote for a would be fascist and dictator type.

You’re not. You and others keep insisting that there is no difference, that we already live in Martin Luther King’s dream. We don’t. There is still tons of white privilege. There is still tons of institutional racism. Until we eliminate that, and it will be a long struggle, it’s just not the same. Taxing a “whiter neighborhood” is borderline racism. Taxing a “blacker neighborhood” is full blown racism. It’s not equal.

Yes I would be up in arms. And the use of the word “whiter” is problematic but only borderline. Not the same.

I don’t accept it.

Well sir I would argue that your defense of the ugly and racist term “DEI hire” is the focked up part, but hey that’s just me.

The first would be anti-Semitic. The second full blown racism. Wanting to tax whiter neighborhoods is borderline racism, falls in the “maybe” crack. Not the same.

I would t feel the same. If he used “blacker” it wouldn’t be borderline it would be full out racism. I apply a double standard which I fully believe to be justified.

I agree. That’s why I wrote “borderline.” I think that’s accurate. It’s certainly not the “definition” of racism (like calling someone a DEI hire.) The truth is it’s very difficult to be racist against whites in our society. It’s not impossible, there ARE rare examples from time to time, but it’s difficult, because whites have so much privilege and control of all the power structures. Those that spend their time almost exclusively focusing on (almost always mythical or way overstated) racism against whites, such as our President, and those who support him doing so, are usually often guilty of racism themselves IMO.

Because it isn’t. And it also doesn’t contradict any of my points, which I’ve noticed you have again failed to challenge.

I wouldn’t call him one either. I think the use of that term, in nearly any context, is racist and highly offensive.

Doubling down on your bigotry. Keep it coming.

I don’t call everyone racist. Just those who deserve it. Suggesting Jackson isn’t smart is just ignorant on your part. Calling her DEI is both ignorant and racist, hth

To the contrary: I have made the point several times that Trump is a wannabe authoritarian but NOT one because he doesn’t have legislative power. This is basically the same point I’m making here (though Mamdami is not authoritarian so far as I can tell.) On the other hand, the Supreme Court seems to be working hard at increasing the powers Trump DOES ) have…

Agree with all this but he shouldn’t have said “whiter”. It’s not quite racist but it’s borderline.

Never mind I found it. He says he wants to tax “richer and whiter neighborhoods”. That’s unfortunate. He never should have said “whiter”; it borders on racism. Just another thing that would cause me not to support this guy in a sane world. My point stands that his tax ideas are irrelevant because as mayor he has no power to enact them.

Can you link that for me please?

Your use of the term “DEI Justice” to describe Jackson is racist. You deserve to be called out for this every time you do it. It’s ugly and stupid.

First off the reason I posted the article is because it clearly states that in order for such a tax to happen, the state legislature of New York needs to pass it and the governor would need to sign it. So it’s not a “local issue” as you claimed and the mayor has no power to enact it on his own. That was the third of my 5 points. Are you now willing to acknowledge this? Second, you keep using the term “white neighborhoods” and you claim that Mamdami did as well. The article doesn’t use that term and I can’t find Mamdami ever uses it. The term suggests racism. If you’re the one using it then YOU are the one being racist. But if you have an example of Mamdami using it please provide it. Second time I’ve asked.

I didn’t even know who he was until a week ago. I spent the last three days reading various interviews with him. I’ve already linked some here. The 5 points in my post were based on falsehoods I’ve read several times in this thread. Again if you think I’m wrong about any of it you’re welcome to provide evidence to the contrary.

Link to him saying white? And no per my understanding all taxes in the state of New York, including city taxes, have to be approved by the state legislature. I got that from Forbes: https://www.forbes.com/sites/kellyphillipserb/2025/06/27/will-mamdanis-proposed-millionaire-tax-save-or-sink-new-york-city/ if you have contradictory info please present it. NY isn’t my state so I have to rely on what I read.

Hey dude you’re welcome to try and contradict any of this. So far nobody has been able to.

If he believes in Israel’s right to exist and a 2 state solution, I don’t see how he can be labeled anti-Israel.
