You might be surprised to find that most probably didnt vote Moore on the basis of 'because fuck blacks' but because of deeply seeded religious beliefs, misguided beliefs that for whatever reason Republicans will bring jobs and shit like 'mah guns!!'
Of course some also likely voted Republicans because they hate blacks and minorities, but assuming all votes for Republicans come back to hating blacks and other minorities is more than a little ignorant.
Why did so many white people vote for a pedophile? Why was a child rapist candidate not bad enough for white people to finally relinquish their privilege and make the right decision?
Lol, so we going with the strong religious values angle. Ooook.
NeoGaf posters more mad at the thread starter for insulting white people, than the white people in Alabama who voted for a confirmed statutory rapist who thinks homosexuality should be illegal and that America was last great when Slavery was still around.

What's the story with this pedophile stuff. Did he admit to it? Was he convicted of it?
Right. Can these people wake up? Southern African Americans are just as religious if not more than southern whites
But they didn't run to the polls to vote for a pedophile. Why?
Youre right. 90+% of black people are voting for one party in fear of being called namesBecause black conservatives are called naive, self hating, co-opted, uncle tom, coon, or worse by Black leaders and the community. Its hard to identify as part of a group when you would be attacked personally. Ive seen it on many occasions in my own family and even on this board.
What the hell is your problem? 8 women came forward with credible, verified claims. If you dont want sexual misconduct weaponized against you, dont engage in sexual misconduct. Its that simple.Hyperbole and partisanship. And it worked. Weaponizing accusations of sexual misconduct is going to be a trend in American politics (by both sides) now for years going forward.

8 verified claims? Verified by who and why isn't this person on trial if the claims are verified?
Because it happened many years ago when the victims were kids? Do you know what the statute of limitations is?
Stop defending this pedophile.
You said the 8 claims were verified though. Who verified the claims?
Youre right. 90+% of black people are voting for one party in fear of being called names
Its not that they are afraid of being called names, its that they don't even think to examine the other side in any meaningful way, due to the rhetoric. Why would anyone look at people like Larry Elder, David Clarke, or other black conservatives to see what they are saying, when they are called uncle toms or coons.
The press?
There were several intentionally false claims right wing organizations threw at the media in hopes they would run them and damage their credibility, but they were all exposed. Just goes to show how rigorous the press was in performing their due diligence.
I'm trying to understand how this thread is allowed to stay open, right now...
Just stop. Black people arent dumb. They know what the other side is saying and they dont like it.

So if it weren't for the statute of limitations, you believe that there is enough evidence to convict?
I mean, come the fuck on. This is some disgusting shit. Moore is a racist, sexist, homophobic piece of trash. A ton of women came out against him, the press did their homework and found the storys to be most likely true.Hyperbole and partisanship. And it worked. Weaponizing accusations of sexual misconduct is going to be a trend in American politics (by both sides) now for years going forward.
The ones I have spoken to don't know or care what the other side are saying. I never said they were dumb. I said they don't take the time to listen to someone the leaders of their community say are racists or coons.
I dont know? We havent seen all the evidence. And this kind of thing is incredibly hard to prove to courtroom standards anyway.
Why are you so invested in protecting a pedophile?
I am invested in learning why you are calling him a pedophile since he hasn't been convicted. You should call him an alleged pedophile.
Richard Nixon was never convicted so I guess he isnt guilty of anything either. Its all just allegations, right? LOL
Youre defending a pedophile btw
So if your friend told you someone stole his wallet, you wouldnt believe him because there was no conviction in a court of law?I just believe that before you label someone, it should be proven beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
I don't hate anyone. I'm just immensely frustrated with the way that white people forsake their decency, morals, and financial/social interests just to hurt people like me.
You must be pushing this point is because you think there is something lost in the black community avoiding the Republican Party. Do you think black people have legitimate reasons to be voting for republicans? A party whose strategy is to decrease black turnout as much as possible?
I just believe that before you label someone, it should be proven beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
A sitting Democrat senator was just ousted from office by people in his own party over sexual misconduct allegations that aren't anywhere near as bad as fucking teenage girls. Anthony Weiner's career went down the shitter and now he's in jail. I'm pretty sure no alleged pedophile would ever make it to the ballot as a Democrat in a hard blue state.I wonder if the shoe was on the other foot and with a lot at stake will a liberal state like California pass the same test?
Democrat policies have done nothing for blacks in Chicago or Baltimore, or LA or other democrat ran cities, or democrat policies like the war on drugs.
I thought Republicans just passed the test. They didn't elect Roy Moore. Why is everyone still so upset?
I wonder if the shoe was on the other foot and with a lot at stake will Democrats pass the same test? I mean they voted for Bill Clinton twice.
I generally do as well, but with Roy Moore there was too much smoke for there to be no fire, and he was almost elected to the US Senate before he could ever possibly be convicted of this in a court of law. A bullet was dodged.

I just learned Nixon was a Democrat.

I cant think of many people with political power who have had false claims pushed against them. Franken, Moore, Trump. Theyre all most likely true.Roy Moore might be guilty of being a creep, but that is about it.
40 years later we see these accusations...and right before a hotly contested election. What a coincidence.
Credible, verified...! Lolz.
This is going to be what elections are like going forward. GOTCHA! he said/she said accusations tried and convicted in the media. It is going to be pure ugly, on both sides.

The contrasts to the Tory gains across the country could not be any starker. They gained seats like Derbyshire North (1.9 per cent ethnic minority); Middlesbrough South (2.5 per cent); and Clacton (2.6 per cent). In England the average size of the ethnic minority electorate in seats where that the Conservatives gained is 4.5 per cent for Labour, the figure is 14 per cent. Ultimately, the keys to Number 10 are still decided by the white vote.
However, the Brexit was perhaps the best example of the racial fault line in British politics, with 53 per cent of white voters wanting to leave and 73 per cent of black people voting to remain. If Britain was as diverse as America, the ethnic minority vote as a whole would have kept the nation in the EU. But Britain is not America and beginning the mobilisation of the ethnic minority vote can only take Labour so far.
Pretty much. White Alabamians voted for Roy Moore. Not "white people".
"White people" put #45 in office. Stop acting like Moore is an isolated incident.
