Don't worry, they'll find a way.one thing's for sure, its hillarious to see conservatives twist themselves into not trying to condemn bloomberg for his past without also condemning their own politics

Is stop and frisk really all that different than locking kids in cages and killing them? Not to support Bloomberg because he can go **** himself and he is the last person I would like to see become a candidate, but to act like Trump doesn't have inherently racist policies while in office is ******* laughable.

As problematic as it is, the “kids in cages” didn’t begin with this administration. And the Obama administration deported far more undocumented immigrants than this administration:
Fact-checking Biden on use of cages for migrants
Joe Biden claimed that a key difference between the administrations of Barack Obama and Donald Trump is that Obama didn’

That said, it is clear that we need comprehensive immigration reform.
But you conveniently ignore the First Step Act and the Fair Chance Act which were signed under this administration. Comparing that to the implementation of stop and frisk by Bloomberg, and coming up with Trump as worse, is nonsensical. It’s as if a (D) next to his name makes those on the left ignore reality.
Bloomberg’s policies ripped black families apart, period. That isn’t Trump’s record. And posting tweets by Trump, when he wasn’t an elected official, doesn’t change that.

Yep.

He said that black people should be thankful for the policy because it helped clean up da NYC streets. He defended the policy at length. Even in the race of evidence that it was discriminatory and ineffective.
Dude ******* loved Bloomberg's racist ***. Trump just Suagr Zaddy#1 in his heart right now.

mr due process defending trump on race? Really?
I have not defended his comments on the Central Park 5. He, like many in here, wrongfully chose the innocent until proven guilty standard.
At the time those statements were made he, like many in here, wasn’t an elected official.
I continue to support due process. And I don’t support the death penalty, period.

so you are fine with ripping Mexican families apart then because it didn’t start under Trump and is still happening under trump? Is that the argument you are going with?
this is absolutely a practice trump has defended as well

He's definitely fine with it. You can search his posts and see him shifting the blame on the parents there.

if it comes down to Bloomberg and Trump, I'm certain that having Trump remain as president would do infinitely more to exacerbate racism and inequality and eradicate fair policies than having Bloomberg as president
it would come from laws enacted, from deregulation, from inaction by the DOJ, and most significantly, the result of judges appointed to the federal bench (from the Supreme Court down)
I get how people could categorically refuse to vote for Bloomberg based on his past actions because they had real, material and meaningful impacts on people of color in NYC
but I also think if the goal is the endorsement of fair policies intended to rectify historical and current social injustices against people of color in this country, there is a material difference between 2020 Bloomberg and 2020 Trump
I agree that it would be a terrible binary choice if it comes down to those two. I don't think it will.

No.
That is why I said it was “problematic” and that we need comprehensive immigration reform.
Did you read my post?
And, as a black man, I am unabashedly—deeply—concerned with the black plight in America.

it's convenient of you to ignore the rise of white supremacy in this nation since trump took office and his touting of white supremacists not only his cabinet, but in general. But I guess overt racism is fine since he signed two bills

So voting for a man who has called white supremacists good people seems logical then. Got it
