Can you let me know what you have to smoke to think Trump's endless rants are the same as things said by "Sleepy Joe"?

I was gonna chime in and say they should share, but then I realized who you were quoting. 

I don't want anything that lunatic pervert is smoking.

Oppressed? Having a regional dialect, which he does have, no matter what high school he went to because wealthy schools often snatch up talent from other areas. You all were being racist by claiming the way he speaks means he’s dumb. Also, that Wonderlic test clearly doesn’t measure what is important because he ranks at the top of QBs.

Have you heard about black fatigue? Thoughts?

Claims to have served the community.   Shame. 

Merry Christmas.

Oppressed

Hard work beats dependence. 

If most "people" would shut the Fuk up, stop complaining and worked for what they need to achieve then we'd all be better off. 

"People" need to stop blaming everyone else and stop relying on other people to save them. 

Get after what you want and get it. 

Mexicans can do it, why haven't other "people" done it in hundreds of years? Is it laziness, victim syndrome or are they not capable?

Somewhere in there lies the truth.

Biden's comments are worse than Trump's.  Hear me out.

On the one hand Trump is an egotistical narcissist with questionable IQ and the impulse control of a pre-teen.  Broadly, his comments are almost always directed at a individuals or small subsections of groups that he believes are problematic or individuals that have crossed him.  His comments are hostile, but his motivation isn't out of belief that one race is inferior.  They are more born out of a motivation to ensure a strong economy, so when he says countries are sending "bad hombres" he's saying there is a concerted effort by either individuals or nation states to tax our systems rather than their home countries'.  We can debate the truth of those assertions, of course, but in my opinion, the comments aren't born out of racism, but rather his observations (accurate or not) and data indicating how much is spent on these folks.  Trump would have no issue with educated folks coming in starting businesses and assimilating to american culture.  He does have a problem when folks come here and take advantage of safety nets and commit crimes not assimilating.  There seems to be a high correlation of illegals coming in and additional burden on our systems and crime.  

Now in his typical ham fisted way, he is solving a problem with a hammer instead of scalpel and deporting everyone.  That probably is the quickest way to remove the element he wishes to remove, and it's within the law, so okay.  

I'd say there is some racist overtones in his assumptions without facts and data to back up exactly who's committing what crimes, etc., but that's politics.  We don't use facts and data or BLM would've never became a thing.  We make decisions on feelings and hand wavey BS.

Now let's consider Biden.  He tries to say the right things, but when he slips up, he tells on himself.  He actually does believe black people are inferior.  He proved it his whole career. Racial jungles, poor kids are as smart as white kids... Etc.  he's the classic gutterboy type.  The actual racist that saw they couldn't be racist anymore so they tried to overcompensate.  But because they don't really know how to not be racist, every now and then the slip up and we see their true thoughts.  The worst part about these types is because they don't know how not to be racist, they think they need to agree with everything black people say.  "Critical race theory? Whelp, I need to hide my racism, so I better agree with this."

Both are harmful.  Trump empowers dummies like seafoam and real flrwcists like 90skid, but in the end he'll never enact actual racist policy. Biden is far more harmful to race relations. Because he kowtows to every race hustler out there, he is going to push more division. 

The right thing to do is say, "I hear you.  Racism will not be tolerated. Systemic racism will not be tolerated, but cut the shìt.  We're on the same team and we need to be on the same team.  Nothing gets done with an us vs them mentality.  We have the same goal of equality for all, but that doesn't mean everything you say is actionable, and we will continue to stay vigilant to ensure all americans are treated fairly."

What are you taking about??
Oppressed wasn’t my word! I was asking the poster, nobody, what he meant by using the word oppressed. You conveniently left off my question mark.

We all have regional dialects. we all have speech patterns based on where we live and who our parents are and what school we go to, etc. I’m no linguistics expert but I know people can tell I’m not a southerner because I have slight NJ accent. In NJ no one thinks I’m from there because I also don’t have an urban accent. I don’t know Lamar Jackson, but I do know rap. He sounds like Florida rappers OR he sounds like how certain blacks from Florida talk. Just because it’s unfamiliar to you, you label his dialect as ignorant and dumb. That’s white supremacy at work. Sorry, just because he doesn’t speak like you doesn’t make him dumb and just because he doesn’t do well on some stupid test also doesn’t make him dumb. 
AND I DON’T CARE WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT IT!

He just sounds black to me - can't tell a region. And I'm 6th generation Floridian. Though, the old "they all look the same to me" cliche actually has some truth according to "eye witness" experts... whites can tell whites apart easier, same for asians and same for blacks.  Maybe that holds true for voices as well... who knows.
