washingtonpost.com/news/posteverything/wp/2018/04/24/kanye-west-fell-for-the-worst-black-republican-sales-pitch-there-is-heres-why/?utm_term=.6078c4f2398c archive.li/zZFy2 >The best black Republican sales pitch I ever heard was from Niger Innis, then the spokesman for the Congress of Racial Equality, or CORE, the civil rights-era organization led by his father, Roy Innis. The GOP “is not for rich people,” he said during our conversation at the 2011 Conservative Political Action Conference, “It’s for people who want to be rich.” There are, of course, many working-class Republicans, and many rich black Democrats, but it was a clever way to make a point: Striving black Americans ought to reconsider what the GOP has to offer.
>The worst black Republican sales pitch is the one Kanye West just fell for: Turning Point USA spokeswoman Candace Owens’s one-woman revival of the trope that black Americans are slaves on the Democratic Party plantation. It’s shopworn, defies logic, and mainly highlights the shallow politics of those who subscribe to it.
>It took off in the tea party era. There was Deneen Borelli’s “Blacklash: How Obama and the Left Are Driving Americans to the Government Plantation”; Star Parker’s “Uncle Sam’s Plantation: How Big Government Enslaves America’s Poor and What We can Do About It”; and the Rev. C.L. Bryant’s film “Runaway Slave.” Back then, he told me, “Government dependency is the plantation that Democrats support.” Then-gadfly, now-Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson referred to Obamacare as the “worst thing that has happened in this nation since slavery” — a related form of hyperbole meant to make a slightly different point.
The damage control on the left when they lost Kanye has been great.

Are you fucking retarded goy, I JUST SAID THE POINT WAS RIGHT DEMOCRATIC PARTY IS A FUCKING BLACK VOTE PLANTATION

Splitting the black vote between the parties would be better for blacks, since it would create incentives for both parties to offer them something. Instead one party gets to take them for granted and the other is incentivized to marginalize their power.
Because their traffic is dictated by shitbook links and they need to bait people into clicking them. It's like when your local news teases the weather report before a commercial break, because they know you are a boomer that only watches for the weather report and sports, because you still can't into the computer.
Daniel Cook
You are a fucking disgrace, even your archive link does the same you fucking jew
the thing is Kanye is clearly not rightwing either, he's just a slightly insane guy with idiosyncratic views that are mostly not even political but pseudo-philosophical
What a joke that this turns into this circus
Adam Scott
Kanye is fine. Hollyjews are freaking out that he may inspire other blacks so they are churning out fake news.
>he's just a slightly insane guy with idiosyncratic views that are mostly not even political but pseudo-philosophical Fuck off.
This isn't about right or left wing. FUCK YOUR DUALISTIC BULLSHIT PARADIGM. THIS IS ABOUT THE TRUTH.
Christopher Diaz
This shit is so hilariously ironically racist. >NO! BAD NIGGER, HOW DARE YOU THINK FOR YOURSELF! WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO RECONSIDER ALLOWING YOU NIGGERS TO READ!

you're finally getting it huh?

kek. If a kind soul would combine OP's image and that for my stash, please do so.
Why hold it in, when there are sanitized terms. When you aren't black, you have Uncle Tom available, and when you are black you can accuse him of cooning.
Austin Wood
are you really this retarded

Those women were told to fall in line or else their connections to this bitch would be made public. There's nothing they can do to stop the happenings.

Sometimes Google is part of link, this way Google can unique identify you shortly after the thread was made.
Matthew Sanchez
You shills are too low IQ to post on Jow Forums in all honesty, when your points get challenged all you can do is namecall. It's sad. This is why you're scared of Jow Forums. You can't argue against the truth.

Wash Post - just a $300 million dollar CIA propaganda rag for literally the dumbest and most gullible retards on the planet.

Notice how they address the argument and claim that it's false, but never actually refute it. They just bring up examples of people who have used it in the past, and deride the usage of the argument.
Note the sentence here; "It’s shopworn, defies logic, and mainly highlights the shallow politics of those who subscribe to it."
In the normal structure of a persuasive essay, you would follow this with a continuation that explains why. Instead the article merely gives a history of people who have used it. The article then goes on to talk about something entirely different, and never addresses or follows up with this claim. It's particularly bizarre because it even defies the structure of an informative article, which tends to start very broad and then get into specifics. This article is neither informative nor persuasive, and it's structure is all over the place. What is this?
Dominic Smith
DONT THINK JUST LISTEN
Connor Ward
Three points:
1. "Blacks are brainwashed by the Democrat Party" has never been a strong argument because it's telling blacks that you think they're too dumb to think for themselves, or that they don't know how to serve their own best interests.
2. "Muh bootstraps" actually is a slightly better argument since most Americans think that we're living in at least a weak-meritocracy. (People like Kanye are extra suceptible to this argument because he thinks he's a genius [I think he's a genius too but most of Jow Forums didn't seem to, at least until about 2 days ago])
3. Probably making a low-tax business growth argument to blacks is best.
Owen Jones
i post here all the time dude. I am pointing out that Kanye's little twitter rants barely qualify as political.
left and right are clear and obvious things in this context and I was pointing out that his tweets have little to do with either
Jack Harris
also headlines that are questions - when the fuck did that become acceptable
Colton Torres
Seriously, the CIA invested 300 million with Jeff Bezos to buy the Wash Post. Where do you get your news from CNN or MSHIV13?
>i post here all the time dude. I am pointing out that Kanye's little twitter rants barely qualify as political. Holy shit. Stop being a fucking retard you dumb kike. You're only exposing yourself more and more.
What points has he made that make it left or right, you double nigger? The only thing that makes him right wing if questioning the dogma of the DNC. Eat shit, leaf.
Chase Wilson
It's an adaptation to internet clickbait style. Buzzfeed makes money hand over fist so even "real" news sites follow their style. It's a sad state of affairs but your average high school newspaper club is more professional than most major news sites.
Jayden Wilson
Libshits have been told what to do and think all their life. From childhood to college. They can't think for themselves, so they need a command word.
You are actually paranoid. Im well aware of the jq, im not a shill. Get a grip
Maybe explain to me how you think he's become some political pundit rather than the same guy he's always been, just speaking his mind on stuff and offending people in the process
Jackson King
>Here's why
Any journalist using this as a headline should be executed.
Camden Wood
He doesn't even have to bring anyone to the right. If he can steer some of them away from blaming whitey and expecting whitey to provide all the solutions it would have major effects
If he ran as anything other than a Dem, I would unironically vote for him just to help take a sledgehammer to the minority bloc vote racket their party has going on.
The Democratic Party literally cannot win elections without supermajority shares of the non-white vote. If that's stolen from them, it'll make them an impotent regional party and bottle up their insanity into a few small pockets of the country.
Christian Parker
Tay's gonna be eligible to run in 2024. Kanye in 2020 could lead to a truly great showdown in 2024.
Leo Reyes
that was literally my point, are you fucking illiterate
