Sure it's a WR expression that got coined after tvm and the million other crazy things that happened here, someone said "never go full Florida " - who said that again? Awesome.

I honestly don't know what movie it's from. Inception?

Bladerunner .....which they are making a sequel to by the way ...wonder what the record is for time between an original movie and a sequel, it'll be 37 years for Bladerunner

Is it a sequel, HMMM I figured it was going to be a shitty reboot.

I was going to bring up the Real black issue (or at least what american blacks think real black is versus immigrant black) but I knew I wouldn't win that. That would just make me look like a racist.

I also freely admitted I thought he was Latino. So did Hollywood Nicky and others.

Its still the point, ok I have a black guy (pan telling me his opinon) and I have other blacks telling me their opinion. I decide which opinion I wanted to go with.

The way it played out you were kinda fucked more or less due to a self-checkmate. Win some - lose some.

 

[Cubo de Sangre]

Could you imagine how that would of went

Yea, but your not a real black

....... War room explodes.....

No I meant a lot of blacks wouldnt consider you a real black

..... good thing we have a white guy to tell us who is and is not a real black.......


LOL, yea, no win situation there.

It's an hilarious though for sure and not without merit, depending upon the crux of the argument. Pan wasn't imbued with the same cultural influence growing up as kids with more localized parents would provide. I don't recall your particular argument with him to know if that nuance would be of significance.

I know more about blacks and black culture than the majority of white guilt liberals on this forum.

Mfers on here talked to a black dude one time and think they know something. Sayin whats up to Jamal from down the hall and fist bumping him doesn't make your opinions worth a shit

I'll give you a pass on the Pan thing. I assumed he was latino as well.

I just think it's really funny that you regularly proclaim yourself as some kind of expert on black people. I used to get a real kick out of you posting about your black co-workers and how they wouldn't vote Republican despite their socially conservative leanings. You were in disbelief that they wouldn't vote against their own interests just to stick to gay people.

Do you still work with the same people and have they figured out how much contempt you have for them?

Nope its a sequel , Harrison Ford, Ridley Scott and Hampton Fancher (original screen writer ) are all on board as is Ryan Gosseling

ss due to a self-checkmate. Win some - lose some.

I can't remember what issue we were even talking about, I know one of the issues was blacks not protesting black on black crime as much as they do cop shootings.

This was before BLM. Whites tended to think that it was silly that they protest when a cop shoots someone but you dont hear a lot about them protesting for their own community (at least at a national level).

Whites already thought this was stupid, and then what happens, they (some) start a national movement for the cop issue. It seems like they doubled down on stupidity.

Who said I have contempt?

Nothing about sticking it to gay people

I am pro gay marriage, pro abortion and pro AA.

It was more an issue of (christian stupidity., I guess) them running around saying the most important thing in their life was God and that we needed more religion in society (school, etc).

I thought it was funny that they say the most important thing in life is god, but then vote for the party that pretty much goes against what they believe god stands for.

I am an expert on the black community. My 2 stepmoms were black (my first one died of brain cancer). I only lived, worked, played, schooled in heavily majority black community most of my life. I grew up in black households, volunteer in black communities and schools, etc.

I understand the history and issues that affect them. I also freely admit that they cause a lot of their own problems.

Everyone (liberal) wants to talk about the history but ignore the cultural issues. and yes conservatives like to talk about cultural issues and think the historical part does not play into as much as it does.

its not an either or issue, both play roles in the situation.

Without history how much culture can there be?

????

Historical difficulties and still trying to recover from them versus current cultural/societal issues that they face and partake in.

I"ll need to see some credentials.

I'll be happy to answer once the sentence is finished.

What sentence?

you asked what culture if they dont have a history.

I replied by saying I was talking about the history of disenfranchisement and trying to recover from it and then cultural and societal issues today.

Oh yeah, my mistake.

Yeah, history shapes culture.

Sorry, I thought that was lobbying dollars. Either way, ok. As has been pointed out, that's not much in the scheme of lobbying, donating, advertising. That's all of about $6 or $7 per member. I also gave you a link showing anti-gun groups just spent more on campaign donations than the pro-gun side recently. How does that factor into your assessment?

But I'll concede the point if we can move on to how that's the definitive measuring stick of this being some sort of manufactured controversy. At least that's how I took it but now with Jack's posting it seems like he's just pointing out the obvious (people who feel stripped of their rights are more passionate on the subject than those handing them over).

The expenditure you pointed to was for the 2014 mid terms, and it was only due to the Gossford campaign. Compared to every single presidential campaign and the overall figures, it just doesn't add up to much.
I'm not going to interpret Jack's posts for him, but I just think that there's a clear disparity on the issue. It's not that it's a manufactured controversy, it's just that it's overwhelmingly one sided.
I mean 30% of the NRA contributions go towards Democrats who are strong on the 2A. It's not like being pro-2A is going to kill a Democratic candidate in the way that being pro-action on climate change killed Republican candidates in 2012.

What doesn't add up? Why don't mid-terms count? People that enact laws get voted on every two years in this country. The President doesn't create the law and only has veto power (which is nice for sure). Who is Hilary pandering to when she skewers Bernie over his vote to defend firearms manufacturers from illegal uses of legal products? I'm waiting to hear why I keep seeing that back and forth on a non-issue in what's turning out to be a bit more of a dogfight than many predicted.

If all you want to do is look at money without researching the barrage of legislation then you (like Jack) are missing the boat. Yes, the last ten years have been great for Bill of Rights supporters and that doesn't change the fact that it's more of a reclamation than a revolution within the context of American history.
