Whites set to Lynch Blacks again? - Dill - 10-19-2018 Republican PAC" Black Americans for the President's Agenda" has created a radio ad warning Arkansans that black men are once again in danger of lynching, as white women gain the power to cry "rape" and the accused are simply presumed guilty. In other words, the goal of the add is to create and capitalize on Kavanaugh fallout. Radio ad in Arkansas House race says 'white Democrats will be lynching black folk again' https://www.cnn.com/2018/10/18/politics/radio-ad-white-democrats-lynching-black-folk-congressman/index.html "Our Congressman French Hill and the Republicans," a woman is heard saying in the radio ad, "know that it's dangerous to change the presumption of innocence to a presumption of guilt — especially for black men." "If the Democrats can do that to a white Justice of the Supreme Court with no evidence, no corroboration and all of her witnesses, including her best friend, say it didn't happen -- what will happen to our husbands? Our fathers? Or our sons when a white girl lies on them?" "Girl, white Democrats will be lynching black folk again," French Hill, to his credit, has condemned the add.

Also taking numbers on how long until we get a post about how it WAS the democrats that were doing the lynching anyway. RE: Whites set to Lynch Blacks again? - SunsetBengal - 10-19-2018 The morning show, on my drive to work, was discussing and taking calls about that ad. They played the ad in it's entirety. Most callers, myself included, thought the ad was worth a good chuckle more than anything else. As to the claim of "white folks to lynch blacks again"? That's a bit far reaching. RE: Whites set to Lynch Blacks again? - michaelsean - 10-19-2018 I guess they could claim they want to put them in chains again. Saying something like that doesn't seem to bother anyone.

I'll wait for them to explain it then. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/biden-tells-african-american-audience-gop-ticket-would-put-them-back-in-chains/ Quote:Biden told more than 800 ticketed supporters that Romney wants to repeal the financial regulations enacted after the Wall Street crash of 2008. "He's going to let the big banks once again write their own rules - unchain Wall Street!" Biden said. Then he added, "They're going to put you all back in chains" with their economic and regulatory policies. I'm sure there is a metaphor the PAC is using to scare black men who look at white women.

That seems just a tad bit deceptive don't you think? Almost like the casual reader might think that was part of what he said. Dog whistle.

Almost like the casual reader might think that was part of what he said. Dog whistle. That is called "context". It helps a listener/reader understand the words before and after. Or we can just take one line out of an entire speech and create our own narrative. "What difference does it make?"

You don't add context as a continuation of the sentence where the speaker left off.

Your buddies will be proud. Yeah I think it's horrible, but I'm not selectively outraged. Anyone remember the ad by the daughter of that man that was dragged to death? Byrd I believe was his name? That was a good one too. RE: Whites set to Lynch Blacks again? - michaelsean - 10-19-2018 (10-19-2018, 10:36 AM)GMDino Wrote: That's cute. Wrong, but cute. Your buddies will be proud. Not wrong. There were white people there as well. Wouldn't they be affected? Why "back" in chains then? Dog whistle.

Why "back" in chains then? Dog whistle. While the "bfine school of repeating what you said wrong hoping it will suddenly be true" method is appreciated...you are still wrong. Poor phrasing? Should he have said "unshackled" and "shackled" instead? Maybe. Dog whistle? Only to republicans who overlook every racial statement made by their own and want to take one line out of context to say "the other side" is more racist. If you read the entire thing and think he meant republicans would literally put black (and white) people in chains you can't be more wrong. If you read him talking about unchaining businesses and putting people in chains as racial at all you can't be more wrong. And your response say you are fine with the lynching ad, so there's that. I know I should stop expecting more but that's what these boards have become. |
