Blexit

Oh, I'm sorry, the fact they're wearing those orange & green shirts with "Blexit" written on them threw me for a minute, before I corrected. Silly me.

They're a majority-black audience in Brexit shirts. If you want to focus on LA, that's not 88% white either, if you want to broaden it out to similar events, they're far-higher-percentage black and wearing Blexit shirts. Clearly they're affiliated movements.

Free Blexit shirts were handed out at a right-wing black leadership conference for a photo op. Of course they were going to put them on.

Nobody is saying there’s no black right-wingers, there’s very few by comparison the left - but, they exist. Just the idea that they’d go to an event that basically makes them tokens very few would ever go to lol and unsurprisingly by the ratio Blexit got few did.

88% may be exaggerating technically but anyone with eyes can see white outnumber black at a - black rally. That’s odd.

[looks at elections 3 months ago]

Why is this something anyone should care about.

Because right-wingers want to show everyone how many black people and minorities they’ve collected.

I wish I was kidding.

It’s like a really weird totally not racist game like Pokemon they play.

Oh, like the recent boost in Latinos backing Orange Guy on immigration?

Like that?

So you run into a roadblock on Blexit and suddenly want to change topics lol, nice one.

Do me and all of us another favor -

Post latino approval rating of when George W Bush was President vs approval ratings when Trump is President. I think I’m being generous here with having you only compare Republican presidents.

Spoiler alert: Trump’s latino and overall minority approval rating is far below the last Republican President’s. In other words, Trump’s “good” is still pretty - hilariously - bad.

He may have wanted to scroll down that poll a bit more..

Adding:

Fact-checking Trump’s claim that he has a 50-percent approval rating among Latinos

Latino support for Trump on the rise? Not so fast

As said right wingers are so desperate for minority approval that it’s amusing. Stats show Trump is doing much worse among minority approval than Bush did.

Wow. This is...was...a thing? That’s hilarious.

But this does present an opportunity to address some issues I do have with my community (I’m black). Although a large number of us vote Democrat (for obvious reasons), there are a large number of black people who maintain traditionally conservative views. Specifically, negative attitudes toward homosexuals and a surprisingly casual, discriminatory attitude toward other races.

May deserted by her own cabinet, I know I have said this a few times but this surely has to be her last week in power.

Also Farage was pelted with a milkshake while campaigning in Newcastle.

Would never vote for the guy but hate when you see stuff like this. When someone ever does something like this its always done to older or out of shape politicians (basically someone they know can't kick the **** out of them, its cowardly)

Wrong thread, but still hilarious image.
