OT: Joe Biden has withdrawn from the US Presidential race

[RHODEY]

Another point Neutral123, as an Indian American yourself. You or one of your Indian brothers & sisters can go to a predominantly African American community. Open up a business, and be supported by that community enough to provide for your family. Same for every other ethnicity. Happens all the time.

What do you believe the odds are for the reverse though? If an African American opened up a business in a predominantly Indian community? How about White community? Or Asian community? Or Latino community?

Let's not be weird. I respect the Indians but I'm not one of them. If it is your contention that the immigrants are racist, then it is your fault for voting for open borders. You agree with that right?

Could of sworn you said you were of Indian decent in previous post?

I didn't say anything about immigrants, I said communities. Your reply answered the question without answering the questing. You don't believe that they would garner the same support. Had to attempt to spin it in some defensive way, but that's pretty much your answer.

And no I don't believe its purely due to racism though it plays somewhat of a part. Again racism is to believe one race is superior to another. Its more so just the comfort level of relatability. As well as these communities being able to tap into culture from their motherland to bring to the US. African Americans don't have such culture to tap into Africa to bring to the US since the roots to connect to family and life in Africa isn't there due to slavery. African American culture is American culture where we are a minority within. Thus Black people are more willing to branch out and intertwine with other cultures and support. While facing more unique obstacles ourselves in relation and comparison.

I believe Foundational Black American culture exists , is unique unto itself and not simply "American culture". There's thing we do (or did) and created uniquely...
The issue that Foundational Black Americans are just now delineating themselves and recognizing their own uniqueness apart from Africa. They have been in the country long enough 500+ years (some even way before that ) to have experienced an ethno genisis and not be bundled into another culture (s).

It's funny to keep hearingFoundation Black americans no culture....tha's just not true.

It's also like, the time period these MAGA types want us to go "back" to because of how great the economy was had extremely high tax rates on the rich (the top marginal tax rate was over 90%), unions were the strongest they've ever been, and we had a ton of social safety nets

Now, to be fair, a lot of the "good" stuff from the 1950s is revisionist history and we cannot overlook the fact that this was pre-Civil Rights movement and black people were legit 2nd class citizens in this country so we shouldn't glorify that era as a place to go "back" to, I'm just pointing out how what they say they want economically is diametrically opposed to the actual policies pushed by them and their leaders

If you look at the actual policies they want, they're not pushing for us to go back to the 1950s, they want us to go back to the 1890s, to the peak of capitalism in this country, before unions, before social safety nets, before women could vote, when the children still yearned for the mines, when you could shove rat sh*t into sausage and there were no regulations to stop you

We know what happens when capitalism is left unchecked. We just have to look to our own history. But those who refuse to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

I will never ever ever understand people that aren't rich and will never be rich arguing in favor of policies that help the super rich over themselves. That's basically all the Republican party and maga is, that and underlining bigotry, exclusion and xenophobia.

Watch on YouTube

They don't even think they’ll become rich and that’s not being offered. Instead they offer a racial bribe, just let us keep robbing you all blind and in exchange we will give you some groups of people you can feel superior to so you can feel better about it.

I've seen two people, one of whom are no longer with us, that had Alzheimer's disease. It's absolutely horrible.

I saw nothing from Joe Biden that even remotely put him in the same category as those two women.

He is old, and not as sharp as he was 4 years ago, but compared to the folks I've seen who were dying from it, I honestly question the sincerity of people who pretend that Biden was some drooling old man whose brain is gone. Far from it.

my grandma had alzheimer's before she passed. it was absolutely horrible for 10-20 years.

she was diagnosed when i was a teen and when we'd speak she'd constantly forget who i was, that i was her grandson, that she even had a grandson, how old she was, whether or not her late husband was alive or not and these are things she'd forget within seconds of reminding her who i was.

the absolute worst times was when she thought she was a child again and she would start hiding under tables and desks while shaking and shivering because she was scared for her life back then. anyone that knows anyone intimately with alzheimer's can tell that biden isn't at that level

I didn't mean to imply that Biden had Alzheimer's, only that, in the early stages of decline, people are still able to make decisions. That was my main point.

My mom was never full blown. She never forgot who I was, but she did forget our home, and she often asked me to "take her home". I had a full story worked up that I must have told her over 100 times about why we were in this "new" place that we'd lived in for over 20 years.

She also asked me to call her parents and that one was harder. I never figured out what to say to that, but even in her decline, it's not like her mind was gone, just parts of her memory were gone. She was still able to reach a decision or have a conversation.

I was primarily disagreeing with the claim that he couldn't reach this decision himself. He may have talked it over with his most trusted aid, but he's capable of understanding the situation and making a decision. His decline is more in appearance than actual forgetfulness, at least, that's what it looks like to me.

- -

as a side note, hiding under the table. I'd not heard that one before. I want to say that's funny, but it's also pretty close to the worst thing there is, living with someone who's got that advanced stage of Alzheimer's.

hiding under the table isn't an alzheimer's thing, it was a product of her childhood.

she'd forget her age and at various times throughout the day she'd think she was a certain age that she wasn't. she had spent much of her childhood being terrified due to how life was growing up for her. it was heartbreaking as a 17 year old seeing your grandma under a table shivering and shaking.

I watched my grandmother go from a strong healthy women(evil as the devil) to a withered shell of a human. It took about 4 years before she withered away and died.

It started with going to the bank taking all her money out and usually throwing it away. Hiding it in things like tissue boxes that ended up in the garbage. Then she became a kleptomaniac. Stealing cigarettes and lighters and other things and hiding them under her bed. Didn't know who we were. Didn't know her husband died 3 decades ago. Talking about the man across the field was coming to take her home. Violent outbursts. I could go on but. In the end she weighed about 90 lbs soaking wet and she was a pretty heavy old broad when she was healthy.

It all started when her best friend("aunt" Feeny) died in her arms in our house. Shortly after that she told my aunt we didn't want her to live with us anymore. A year later my aunt left her on our front porch with a note taped to the door that she was crazy and my aunt couldn't handle it.

It started mildly but escalated quickly. Biden doesn't seem like he has Alzheimer's or dementia yet but, it all starts somewhere. Reagan had it when he was in office right after my grandmother died. That was his second term.

Biden is too old to be president. Period. Trump is too crazy and almost as old. Period.

you're arguing semantics cause you're a loser who follows a conman instead of realizing it you grasp at a different reality to feel okay about your pathetic life.

A hate filled response from a leftist? Shocking.

Screenshot the PM you talked about.

After the first request, I myself was eagerly awaiting his response with the screenshot. I knew right away his claim must be true. It didn't sound ridiculous and made up at all.

I'm shocked he's somehow missed the multiple requests of said screenshot, as he has posted several times in this thread since the requests. Must have just missed it somehow. Those whacky MAGA goofballs don't catch everything when they're goofing around all the time.

Yawn. Suckers and losers up there with the very fine people hoax.

https://checkyourfact.com/2024/07/08/fact-check-fact-checking-bidens-claim-that-trump-referred-to-veterans-as-suckers-and-losers/

But i'm sure the russia collusion hoax peddlers, and the hunter laptop is russian spy games folks surely wouldn't lead us astray. Lolllllllllllllllllllllll

Atlantic sites 4 unnamed (for obvious reasons) sources, Trump team denies. So I am to assume that the people on payroll to say what Trump wants only tell truth?

But I guess the other stuff is just swell though..

yeah, it was a really tough time.

my grandma with alzheimer's was my mom's mother and her main caretaker. my grandma would say some very nasty things to my mom (she would forget who my mom was) and there were times that i would see my mom crying about it. that woman was tougher than anyone i know because both me and my brother were teens and we were far from the easiest kids to parent

Oof, these stories guys. Generational trauma is a motherfcker. I'm sorry. Did anything help bring them out of those experiences?

We went through loss of faculties for my grandfather as well. A massive heart attack killed off a lot of his brain functioning but left him alive. One minute, an aging but still brilliant scientist. When he came to, struggling to remember who everyone was, couldn't form new long term memories, and not everything pieced together. He initially got some capacities back but after awhile it didn't really deteriorate but it also didn't really improve. He still remembered me and enjoyed the company of my wife and I when we visited.

It has come to this with MAGAs. It's not good enough to try to win the election within the rules or the spirit of what an election is all about. Because you can't win with the fcked up policies you present to all Americans, you try to change the fcking rules and game to fit your narrative. Instead of going behind the fcking curtains to LIMIT Americans to vote, why don't you figure out decent fcking policies that you can sway voters. I understand that 45% of each side will always vote their own no matter what but its really up t you to get the undecided and as of right now... it's not looking good.

It is weird. Even weirder, our board served as a bellweather for this last week:

Or, and hear me out guys, _Vice_ President Harris.

I think Newsom is a non-starter. As you say, the guy running Cali is a hard sell outside the coasts.

Pretty much everyone was on board and unexpected consensus started to form.

viewtopic.php?f=24&t=2395342&start=2000#p114397837

Interesting. Every other potential replacement candidate gets backlash. I bring up Harris and everyone (left) is like "oh yeah, I'd vote for her but like a lot of people wouldn't."

Small sample but... could the optics... not be true?

You called it Cap!

Every part of African American culture positive and negative. Is and has been created as a response, directly or indirectly towards racial & oppressive measures practiced over America's life span.

Same here. My mom's mother. I watched my mother go through hell as well. At the same time the family was falling apart. My father left us. My older brothers moved out. It was just me and my mother in the end. Tough woman and a hero in my eyes.

My grandmother had CJD, which is like Alzheimers but not quite the same, but her deterioration was insanely rapid

I don't like remembering the year or so where she was fully gone. I looked into her eyes once and saw she had no idea who I was, and that still kind of haunts me to this day

And then my aunt OD'd her on morphine to speed it up. Or at least that's what my mom and I believe, cause right after my grandmother died she kept going around asking if anyone had seen the morphine and saying she needed to get it to make sure the nurse didn't take it or something.

Dudes are really still trying to talk about Hunter Biden’s laptop(what’s even on it, more pictures of his pp? It’s been 4 years nobody knows or cares) as if Biden’s still the nominee. What’s next, Benghazi? I guess haven’t received their new attack plans from Newsmax or Tucker Carlson yet because the news dropped on a Sunday. Smart move by Joe.

i'm not sure what the alzheimer's situation is now, but she passed 13 years ago. i think at the time all we could really do as a family was support each other as best as possible. my mom didn't trust sending grandma to one of those nursing homes because she didn't trust that they would take good care of her like family would.
