Nobody is responsible for their grandparents actions retard
I’m not suggesting he is, loser. But if he’s bitching about Roosevelt and his own grandparents were cheering for the Japanese to be locked up, then maybe he should be asking why his grandparents were on board with this kind of treatment.

Well since my grandparents were busy getting profiled for colluding against Pearl Harbor. That sort of absolves them of responsibility.
Really? They were Japanese living on the west coast?

Powerlessness doesn’t change that you’re endorsing a man who legalized Sanctioned Racism against asians.
Roosevelt was wrong to go along with this treatment of Japanese Americans. So we’re your parents, the Supreme Court, and the vast majority of the American people. He also refused to allow sanctuary for a ship loaded with Jewish refugees fleeing the Nazis.

Racism didn’t stop all black entrepreneurs from becoming millionaires throughout the 1800-1900s!!
Damn racists, they got most of them but they couldn’t get ‘‘em all

Is that why you named yourself after a President who locked asians up in concentration camps?
What did your parents do to stop that from happening? Did they protest? Did they go to DC to demand justice for west coast Japanese people. (It wasn’t all Asians as you implied)
Or did they not care?

Redlining was NOT a Democrat policy. It was a racist policy used by Democrats (and Republicans) around the country.
LBJ, a Democrat, forced his party to change their ways. The ones that refused became Republicans. It’s been like that ever since.

Roosevelt that is for the entire United States. This is for the Kansas city area in 1940 you also have the 1980 price and inflation is about 4% a year
If you read the article by these former football stars you would learn that a developer named Nichols put restrictive covenants on his real estate projects that prohibit blacks from buying the properties.
“Restrictive covenants were key to Nichols’s neighborhoods. He legally bound entire subdivisions to ban Black people from buying homes”

Average price of a house in Kansas City in 1940 was 20k.
That’s a lie
1980 avg house in the area was 100k
That’s also a lie. More like 70k

A house in the Kansas City suburbs probably cost $5,000 then. So he’s making double what the house costs. That would be like you making 600k today.
My parents spent 22k to build a new custom house near the water in Massachusetts a few miles north of Boston in 1968.
Do you think before you speak? Did you think - is 10k a lot of money in 1965 Kansas City?

It's a well known and documented fact that nobody paid 90 percent.
The rate only applied to income over a million dollars back then. There were tax rates on income under that level that were much lower. Those rates plus deductions that lowered the amount of net taxable income caused the overall taxable rate to be below 90%. But if you had taxable income over 1 million it was taxed at 90% This was necessary to pay for WWII.

I don't doubt racism was a small factor but let's not lie and say real estate agents are turning down $20k commission checks out of some sort of hatred
Yes, they did, dummy.
What is it about white men with small paychecks that make it impossible for them to acknowledge the undeniable systemic racism that has existed in this country for over 250 years?
You’re not getting it - the agents refused to write an offer for their black clients
Banks refused to even consider giving them a mortgage for houses in white neighborhoods.
It’s a fact. This happened in America. And other forms of racism took place in this century like steering blacks to subprime mortgages even though they qualified on paper for conventional mortgages.

Also in 1965, as a famous NFL linebacker, I don't think you would have a racism problem with that kind of stuff.Keep in mind, this dude was 6'4 and 228 lb.'s.
You don’t think that huh? Well that’s because you are clueless and uneducated.
And being large doesn’t help with racism other than racists will likely be afraid to voice their racist thoughts to the big black guy.

You’re still not getting it dummy. The real estate agents were refusing to write up an offer to buy a house in certain neighborhoods. White neighborhoods.

White people can't afford houses either.
No dummy, you’re not getting it. The black guy could afford it, he couldn’t buy a house because either no real estate agent would sell to him or no bank would give him a mortgage - because he was black.
Imagine when you’re a grownup and no one would sell to you or give you a mortgage because you’re over 6 feet tall and then you would have an idea what was happening.

Why did a black man want to live around a bunch of racists? Sounds weird.
It would sound weird to a racist. But the black guy had a job in the area and he wanted to live in a new home near his work.

In 1965, the year I was born, so not exactly ancient history, a football star on the Kansas City Chiefs could not find a house to buy in the suburbs of Kansas City. There were plenty of houses for sale, the player made good money, and there wasn’t anything wrong with his credit score.
The problem was he was black.
“Future Hall of Fame linebacker Bobby Bell says he looked at more than 200 houses for his family in the mid-1960s, getting denied by realtors and bankers who refused to underwrite his mortgage. Head coach Hank Stram, who was White and lived in a planned suburb in Prairie Village, Kan., made calls on Bell’s behalf to no avail. “You couldn’t do anything,” Bell said. “They didn’t want to take you.”
“players proposed building an integrated apartment complex that featured central air conditioning and a pool shaped like a football. The city council denied the plan over zoning issues”
“Bell eventually bought a house in Prairie Village in 1968, after a White man purchased it and rented to Bell until he could find a willing mortgage underwriter. Shortly after Bell moved in, a White neighbor showed up at his door with a flier organizing a protest against him”
- When my father and in-laws die in the coming years I will inherit over a million dollars worth of real estate. Imagine the effect not being able to get a mortgage for a house has had on generations of black families. It’s a disgrace. And this is why reparations for black families should be explored.

agree on basic English grammar,
This has nothing to do with grammar or spelling or anything like that. You need to be thinking in terms of medical science and biology. Does the medical community believe that a human being with male genitalia and organs can be a woman in other ways that are just as important as the physical.
Genes, brain, hormones, psychology, etc…
I’m sure at one time you thought depression was just people who chose to be sad. Now we know chemical imbalances in the brain and body cause people to be depressed. Children who suffer trauma or other adverse childhood experiences have physical and mental changes to their bodies as a result.
This could possibly explain your situation.

You cant define something by naming things it's not.

Well, if your answer is not a man, then I could say that a rock is considered a woman.

My point is that race and gender identity are not the same thing, so your comparison is foolish.
You said race is not a choice. You implied that being a transsexual is a choice - the result of ignoring a mental issue.
“The other, is a choice made when one neglects a specific mental issue”
Being a transsexual, transgender, gay, etc… is not a choice. And it is not a “mental issue”
You probably think Conversion Therapy is a valid medical treatment too.

It’s pretty clear that you don’t debate with intention to find truth and/or change minds
You can’t debate bigots. They were raised that way. They won’t believe anything they read from “elites”
when one tells so many people their opposing opinions are “unwelcome,”
Bigotry and intolerance are unwelcome. Get use to it.

Boom what genius? Last time I checked freeze does not mean cut. And what is the context of that speech? Did he say that because Republicans were demanding a freeze to SS benefits in order to consider a military spending freeze? You show more of Whoppie Goldberg than Joe Biden.
You are a moron. To be an adult in this country, you can’t rely on YouTube memes to inform yourself. You are a failure as an American citizen and being from Massachusetts originally, I’m embarrassed that you claim to be from there.
If Joe Biden wanted to “cut” or eliminate SS why didn’t he say that and why don’t you have a clip like that which wasn’t from 27 years ago? Rick Scott and Ron Johnson proposed eliminating SS in the last 6 months.

I think one should expect hostility and derision when they say something that is bigoted and ignorant. I think arguing with ignorant people is a waste of time so I choose to just berate them so they will be more careful the next time they chime in and they come to realize that their uninformed opinions aren’t welcome. I’m really doing you a favor.
