When the behaviors for success in life - education, hard work, delayment of gratification, punctuality, math proficiency, etc. - are deemed to be part of a white supremacist system that keeps blacks down, isn't that tacitly admitting that people who exhibit these behaviors are, in fact, superior?

I've been to a lot of places outside the US and interacted with people from even more places. The most successful countries and cultures have the above behaviors, and especially important is punctuality, or sticking to schedules and getting things done on time - US, UK, Germany, Japan, South Korea, especially. Cultures where people are perpetually late for everything and schedules always slip are generally disorganized and unable to accomplish much.

Elder is kryptonite to the left and their sycophants. He's intelligent, well spoken, ethical, and thinks for himself. Those attributes must be thwarted at all costs from catching on in the black community.

I truly hope he wins the governor's office but I do not envy him having to deal with Sacramento. As for the LA Times and this story, this is yet another example of why people in general hate the media.

What a hell of a coincidence, eh?

Video Reveals Unfortunate Ballot Problem
A woman made a video showing some very interesting issues with the California mail-in ballots for the recall of Gavin Newsom.

Hell, mail me some ballots. I'll vote for 'im, at least twice!

Black face of white supremacy? Who comes up with this crap? How stupid is the direction this country is going?

If these idiots were not serious with these beyond stupid headlines it would be comical. My first thought after reading the headline is that the left went full Clayton Bigsby with their retarded black white supremacist claims. Just look at the double standard afforded to blacks who are democrats verses those who run for office as a Republican. The glaring difference is quite obvious if one only open their eyes. So who is the real racist? Which is the political party that is actively attacking black people who dare to not tow the party line?

Malcom X once said: “The first revolution is when you change your mind about how you look at things, and see there might be another way to look at it that you have not been shown.”
The left is 100% terrified that this could happen en masse in black communities hence they have ratcheted the rhetoric up to a fever pitch that borders on comical and would be funny if they were not being dead serious.

As liberals become further detached from reality and their handlers and propagandists push harder to control their useful idiots I do not see how that course doesn’t lead to complete and total disaster. When you look at places like California and Chicago you could make the argument that the disaster is already upon us in a few places.

They are destroying their own credibility to anyone bold enough and brave enough to think on their own and ask the question what if the media is lying to me.

The LA times should be ashamed of such a headline but I don’t think they are even capable of feeling shame at this point.

This morning I was able to click on the link and watch it without problem without having a Facebook account. Now when I click on the link I have to login to Facebook to see it.

Is there anywhere else that this video can be viewed?

Not long ago, I saw a headline asking "Are straight black men the white people of black people?"

I didn't feel like killing any more brain cells (I've had enough head trauma) so I didn't read it.

Is he suggesting that only homosexuals can be "Black"?

No, I suspect they mean straight black men don't have enough "intersectionality points" to qualify as true victims.

Is this regarding the hole in ballot envelope issue?

That news video is a bunch of spin on just a part of what the original video pointed out.

I mean this seriously:

Can someone help me understand what white supremacy means as used by the people quoted in the referenced article? I understood it to mean what it says - the (utterly reprehensible) notion that the “white race” is inherently superior to other races. Are they saying Elder holds this belief, or has the term been redefined to mean something like “people who believe black people in difficult circumstances may bear some of the responsibility for how they got there?”

The idea that someone can say “black white supremacist” with a straight face utterly baffles me, so I suspect there is some linguistic sleight of hand going on here.

No, but I'd like to offer the following thoughts:

- Wokeism honestly means that words mean whatever you want them to mean whenever you want them to mean that. IOW, if you can't read someone's mind, you need to check your privilege. That's not a joke or a snide comment, they really do think that way.

- California has been politically dominated by its large, liberal population along the coast for a long time. This means that in order to get attention as a liberal politician or advocate in the California media, you have to make more and more extreme statements. Whether they're borne out by the facts or not is irrelevant because (or so long as?) these statements "sound" true from a progressive political perspective.

- By the same token, liberal, progressive or just plain ol' Democrat people in California have become inured to this over generations. They will either ignore it like an ad on TV or parrot it whenever starting and "winning" an argument makes them feel noble and revolutionary.

- They find ideas like "Alan Alda is a feminist" and "Larry Elder is a black white supremacist" equally plausible. By coastal California political standards, if it looks kinda sorta logical then, eh, it must make sense.

Black white Supremist! Hahahaha. That about covers it!

Yes. Here you go:

"Passed out felon"...so you're saying he was a democrat.

300 Recall Ballots, Drugs, Multiple Driver’s Licenses Found in Vehicle of Passed out Felon: Torrance Police

“Investigators are trying to figure out how the election ballots ended up in the suspect’s vehicle and what their intent was in having them,” police officials said in a statement. “This is an isolated incident and is not related to any additional thefts of election ballots.”

The last 10-years has been a giant game of linguistics and rhetoric. Supposed high-minded publications, academic reads, all the way down to local news has been hammering away at our common language to alter and warp meanings with the terms and definitions that Leftist have determined to be acceptable.

How many high-profile, press conferences of a shooting where an officer is at the podium and the members of the press themselves are lecturing the officer on what words and phrasing are acceptable? Most prominent is the genre of trans people and sexual identity, people inserting acceptable pronouns in their names...yeah, these are the games we're dealing with. It's all related, changing language in order to box you the non-Leftist into a corner.
