President Trump’s response to the Roseanne Barr controversy this week exemplified a concern many Americans have about him: He does not understand the history of race in America.

"I'm one who always believes there's room for reconciliation, but it would require an effort by the president to educate himself on black America. I don't think he knows or understands black America.”

I think it’s “black America” that needs the history lesson. And a more realistic appraisal of the failed policies of government and their own culture that keep them marginalized.
Another professional victim.
“For centuries, Europeans saw Africa as a site of sexual vice. European lore abounded with tales of the “monstrous sexuality of far-off lands where, as legend had it, men sported gigantic penises and women consorted with apes.” From the second century on, such figures as Ptolemy, Leo Africanus, Francis Bacon Hermit, John Ogilby and Edward Long envisioned the inhabitants of Africa as the most sexually promiscuous beings to inhabit the earth.”
Isn’t this how AIDS came about? At least, allegedly?
He understands racist black racial entrepreneurs just fine, Eugene.
Anyone that is really schooled in US black history knows the revisionist b.s. dominates the HS history and college textbooks. The black history is so revised and based in fantasy that most of the black history books could qualify for comic books.
Who here knew Jarrett was black before this story broke?
I didn’t, not that I cared to find out either.
I do not read articles from a known fake news site.
Sometimes the game is fixed. You can’t win regardless of what you do. Literally anything Trump could have said here would have been branded as a “lack of knowledge”.
Was Roseanne’s tweet about race or religion?
[WP editor] Eugene, get in here (under breath - you worthless spear chucker). I need 1000 words linking Trump’s response to Rosanne to racism by 5p. I know he hasn’t said anything yet, but get the story together and add Trump’s statement later.
[Eugene] Yes massa. I won’ts let you down massa.
Little Barack Obama grew up in Indonesia and later Hawaii. His family doesn’t come from the urban or rural black American experience and he has no slave blood. He told ignorant black voters that his ‘family’ does because his wife ‘and daughters’ are descended from slaves, he also lied and told voters that his parents were together because somebody marched in Selma. The timeline is wrong.
Can the author of this screed explain how Roseanne’s tweet was racist? Jarrett is not black, and leftists have been known on several occasions to compare (white) conservatives to various monkeys or apes.
I think the tweet was rather bizarre, since it seems to have sprung up in the absence of context, but bizarre is not racist.
Except for the snowflakes and wannabe victims, the history of race in this country has no bearing. Negroes finally gt heirr foot in the economic and cultural doors in the forties with the ramp up of industrial output. They became the new immigrants at a time when immigration was in a year pause. They began to follow the trajectory of the Irish and Italians and Poles~, moving into the northern cities, immigrating from the poor rural southland and taking work in the factories and construction at, yes, low wages but that’s where it starts. By the end of the 50s there was a core middle class and they were looking like those other earlier immigrant group. Then came LBJ who perceived that if these domestic immigrants could be stopped in their tracks of improvement by free money, his party would have their votes forever. Thus the War to Perpetuate Dependence which has been perhaps the only successful major government program. 10% of the population has been voting for Democrats ever since.
Black America? Where is that? Next to South America? Latin America? And pardon me if IDGAF about understanding this racist construct...
From the party of lynching to the party of high-tech lynching.
How about educating black people on their own history. I spent many years researching black history, and found out that many blacks have no knowledge of black history.
Whoever this moron Eugene Scott is, he is a moron.
No, I don’t understand why everything has to be defined by race when it comes to black people? Why not about achievements and aspirations? The only people holding them back, as far as I see it, are themselves.
