A presidential candidate admitted on live TV that certain races are intended to be the underclass.

Never mind that Trump is a criminal who took a black man's job.

He also called Biden a bad Palestinian as a slur.

[–] Snowclone@lemmy.world 12 points 4 months ago

I feel 'he's a Palestinian' 'and not even a good one' was pretty egregious.

They fully believe Obama took a white man's job, not the other way around. Which shows racism never left, like they like to pretend. It took one out of 43 to get them to rage out.

To even say immigrants or blacks are pigeon holed to certain low level jobs is massively arrogant. They are not the ignorant masses working the fields you orange fuck.

His wife was an immigrant!

Seriously. Like I would absolutely love to see some sort of statistical analysis that proves that some specific field or fields of work are predominantly staffed by "black" people. Just because I have heard conservatives and liberals refer to certain jobs as black or brown people jobs, and I'm totally sick of that shit.

The real issue there is trying to define black people other than actual skin tone. Far too many people want definitions that are based on nebulous data, such as the person's genetic bloodline, or the region their ancestors were from.

Far as I can tell, as a white person that damn near glows in the dark, your skin color is only partially tied to who your parents were. You might be the statistical outlier because of your genes.

Also skin color only seems to be indicative of how quickly, and how badly you'll get a sunburn. White people are straight up allergic to the sun, unless we get a "sunburn" while fucked up on hallucinogens.

EVEN IF immigrants are taking "black jobs"....WHO IS HIRING THE IMMIGRANTS?!

WHY is it always the immigrants fault for being hired and never the capital class hiring the immigrants?!

Jesus fucking Christ his followers are dumb.

Trumps own companies sought foreign workers in foreign counties with the promise of legal immigration sponsorship. Once hired his companies transport them in, on airplanes, no boarder walls involved, then gave them fake documents. So that they would think they were legal.

This was reported, factually, while he was still president. No one left or right has ever attacked him on this once. Why? Well because this is standard practice with those donating to all these politicians. All of them. They don't bite the hand that feeds. Why do both sides do nothing to fix a broken immigration system? Because broken means underpaid illegal workers companies can wring out labor from, then immediately discard. No penalty. It's perfect.

Jesus fucking Christ his followers are dumb.

Blaming the victims of capitalism and not the capitalist class itself isn't just a thing with Trump's followers - it's literally the unspoken consensus liberal ideology rests upon.

What the Fuck are 'black jobs' you racist orange turd?!

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 4 months ago

You know, driving Miss Daisy, stuff like that. /s

He’s an asshole. We know it.

I know some Black software engineers, but they probably don’t count for whatever reason.

[–] Snowclone@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

THE BLACKS!

[–] Cosmonauticus@lemmy.world 39 points 4 months ago

I think i speak for most black ppl when I say they can have them. Last time we picked vegetables and fruit a war broke out when we wanted to stop

[–] Theprogressivist@lemmy.world 28 points 4 months ago (1 children)

He also said the same about illegal immigrants taking Latino jobs.

[–] Frog@lemmy.ca 8 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Lol. So which immigrants is he talking about?

[–] snooggums@midwest.social 8 points 4 months ago

Depends on how close it is to sundown.

[–] stevedidwhat_infosec@infosec.pub 26 points 4 months ago (1 children)

All he did the entire debate was lie about figures, admitted to be a fascist who’d ‘fire’ a general who called him out for calling vets losers, fear monger, and participate in straw man arguments.

Joe might be a walking ghoul but at least he still has good and positive intentions in mind

Biden's only one of very many presidents who have acted as a face to an administration that dosen't necessarily need or use him in a functional way, Trump is probably the best modern example other than Reagan who we now know was experiencing Alzheimer's while in office and was most certainly incapable for much of his admins time. W and Clinton were both seen as the face man of an admin full of technocrats and ideoloughs. The truth of that is more likely that just any head of the executive branch requires so many people in key positions that no one is really running the show all that directly by the nature of the office.

This is also true of large corporations, and it's why the C-suite and upper management can spend all their time and energy on battling for their positions in the hierarchy rather than doing anything related to the actual business.

I suppose a nation being run by a collective of people would be more representative of Democratic approach. Kings are bad (even though capitalism technically turned us into a collective of kings that influence the governing body)

Funeral coordinator for children?

[–] lurch@sh.itjust.works 10 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

lol, but his racist base probably doesn't care about black peoples jobs and the statement is degrading versus black voters. not sure how this is supposed to help him. it's a lose/lose situation.

[–] masquenox@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Sooo... instead of pandering to the white supremacist base that got him into the Waffle House in 2016, Trump is making a terrifically cringe go at winning black folks over.

Somehow, I don't think the neo-nazis and the KKK is going to be all that enthusiastic about him this time around.
