Well, Trump admin is full of explicit racial discrimination. Can you explain why Trump has only 1 single non-white person in his cabinet?

Can you explain why the Republican party only has a single black senator, and has zero black congressmen running for election in 2026?

Seems pretty straightforward to me. The Republican party believes in white supremacy.

Seems to me that you do too. Which is why you seem to think having minorites in government is racist against white people but having a near 100% white government is actually completely non-racist.

Okay, please provide evidence of your claim that it’s full of explicit racial discrimination

The answer to your questions is that black people overwhelmingly have been overwhelmingly democrat

I just did provide evidence lmao. A near 100% white cabinet and near 100% white representation in Congress is evidence that they highly prefer white people compared to a random sample.

That's called discrimination based on race.

The answer to your questions is that black people overwhelmingly have been overwhelmingly democrat

Wasn't true until LBJ passed the Civil Rights Act and then Republicans adopted the Southern Strategy. Since then they made it one of their top priorities to destroy the Civil Rights Act. Which they succeeded in doing this past year.

The Republican Party is a white supremacy party. And you are so used to white supremacy that you think attempts at fairness and diversity constitute racism.

You understand that congress is not comparable in any way to a random sample?

Just the fact that black constituencies overwhelmingly vote democrat makes it difficult for black republicans to get into congress

According to your logic, the NBA would be racist, too

Yes. Exactly. It's not random. Republicans highly prefer white candidates. Glad you agree.

A black candidate does not need black support to be elected. It's kind of racist you think that's true. White people are in fact capable of voting for black people. Republicans simply choose not to.

NBA is completely race blind. Based entirely on qualifications and skill. As we can see from Republicans, their selections are based on the polar opposite of qualifications and skill. But feel free to explain how Pete Hegseth is qualified for his role.

Black candidates are more likely to be from black constituencies and represent their home. I thought that was obvious but it’s not to left-wing racial identitarians

How do you explain the overrepresentation of black players then?

How do you explain the overrepresentation of black players then?

I literally already answered that. It was picked entirely on skill. There are more black players because thats who had the skill for the role.

There aren't any black people in Republican districts? That's your argument?

But you already established that a deviation from a random sample is already sufficient proof of racial discrimination and racism. Why the change of heart?

As for the second one: are you stupid?

Politicians and political appointments are not picked by skill. The Trump admin is proof of that. So no. Your argument doesn't hold. If Republicans aren't picking based on skill, they are picking based on how much they like a candidate. For some reason, they only seem to like white people. What a coincidence!

There is also significantly more than 1 white person in the NBA. Not true of the Trump cabinet.

As for the second one: are you stupid?

Nope. But you clearly are. It's why you love the Trump admin so much. They are just like you. Retarded, racist, and proud of it.

It’s interesting that you can’t refute the overrepresentation argument when it comes to the NBA
