What is Kushner saying here?

He is saying that Trump's policies are there for the taking and will cure any ills the Black community is facing, they just have to want it and to use it and 'poof' everything will be good.

My people Who Need To STFU board on Pinterest is growing.

The same old tired racist trope that the black community is not succeeding because they don’t ‘want to’.

If it weren’t such a tragic part of systemic racism I’d be laughing at the comment. It’s really enraging that this continues to be thrown out as valid.

That's what I got out of his "message".

I'm also very interested in what Olan thinks about Ice Cube "working with" Jared.  I have my opinions but I'm not a black person living in 2020 so I'd like to hear her thoughts. 

The Tiki company had the balls to condemn them for using Tiki torches in such a horrible racist manner, unlike Trump.

Tiki, which is owned by the Wisconsin-based Lamplight Farms, denounced the white nationalists in a Facebook post on Aug. 12. “We do not support their message or the use of our products in this way,” it said. “Our products are designed to enhance backyard gatherings and to help family and friends connect with each other at home in their yard.” www.google.com/amp/s/www.nytimes.com/2017/08/20/business/media/charlottesville-tiki-torch-company.amp.html


Another American company screwed over by Trump & co.

We can have every social program laid out at someone's feet and if they are unwilling to take advantage of those programs what should we as a society do? There are so many factors as to why someone is poor, but to improve your life, you have to want to improve your life. Others cannot do it for you. So I kind of get what he's saying.

I work with this population and I have seen many work their way out of their situation and I have seen some that continue in the same cycle and blame everyone else for their problems. Doesn't matter their skin color. I had one person explain it to me and it has always stuck with me. Some people are so used to a life of chaos that when things start going normal for them, they panic and cause chaos because that is their comfort zone. It made me really think about what other's are going through and helping them where they are at.

He’s saying I’m as much of a fucking racist as my FIL. That’s exactly what it boils down too. No need to look further into that empty head of air.

ETA- I went down the rabbit hole on the Kushner family a couple months ago. The family wears the mantle of Jared Kushners grandparents, who survived the Holocaust. Jared was taught to live up to them. Good example to have, obviously. Too bad Daddy Kushner didn’t understand the lesson and became a criminal who greased the way for Jared at every turn.
 
To sum up, he thinks everyone is out to get him, just like Trump. He is Trump, just with a slicker veneer.

I wish he'd elaborate on which specific policies . . .

I'm not Olan, but here are my thoughts, and I'd be interested for you to share yours.

Black people in America aren't a monolith. See also: Herman Cain, Candace Owens, Kanye West.  All of those people have access to wealth/class resources not afforded to other Black Americans. All of those people are individuals for whom being Black is part of their identity, but that doesn't mean they hold the same values as any other Black American, just as I don't necessarily hold the same values as the white woman across the street with a campaign sign for a racist POS running for congress in my district! Know what I mean? Our identities are multi-layered, and while our race informs a lot of our choices because it informs our lived experiences in this country, it isn't necessarily the only part of our identities that inform our choices.

When we look at overall voting patterns by race, we definitely see a trend that more Black Americans vote for Democrats than not, for sure. Sometimes we have to be careful about identifying individuals as representative of an entire race. (I'm not saying you were doing that, but some people love to point to Candace Owens in this way, for example, to say things like "Black people love Trump.")

i took it as "THEY have to want to be successful. Trump can only want so much for them if they don't want it for themselves first."

Something something boot straps, something something blacks are too lazy to take the golden opportunity their dear white leader has graciously offered. 


Jared needs to be stabbed in the throat with that fucking silver spoon he was born with.
