    does that mean we cant say whites?

    I think the correct term is "racists"

    The 1920's just called and wants it's terminology back from you.

    I actually think there will be more trouble if Trump than if Biden wins,

    The left grow up getting trophies for taking part and it makes taking a loss a lot harder,

    Black people is the correct term, blacks is a pejorative term. I ain't a a PC snowflake by any means but using blacks is not acceptable in this day and age outside of racist circles.

    I guarantee you that within 5 years, black people will be considered a pejorative and will be considered unacceptable.

    Hopefully Biden remembers that Detroit and Philly won him this election and he pumps badly needed development cash into the them.

    I want to see him have the inauguration in the carpark at Hardcore Pawn.

    From the CNN analysis just now it looks like Democrats have a lot more Michigan votes likely to come in shortly.

    States where Trump is leading have stopped counting it seems ... wtf ..

    Seems to be Detroit mail ballots coming in. It’s generally a Democrat area.

    I'm not really encouraged by Biden's mental capacity to remember things. I fear if he wins he will open up his inauguration speech by saying something like ' I'm so proud to be the new president of the united counties of west Dorchester'.

    Alot more mail in ballots results to come in which have been favouring Biden so Michigan looks good for Biden

    So you are being pre-emptively annoyed at a hypothetical situation that you just made up in your mind?

    Strange thought process.

    Very prescient stuff from Bernie Sanders.
    He nailed it, awesome.

    Doubtful - there's c.350k votes to be counted in Detroit. They will heavily break for Biden by around 2:1. It looks like Biden is well on the way to winning Michigan at this stage.

    Its because he is ahead by more votes than there are votes left to count,

    Yeh, its sounds like something a time traveler from the 1950s might use.

    Hilarious all the cognitive/energy supplements being sold in the ad breaks across all the news networks. Reminds me on Infowars.

    Honestly I hope he does this, just to see the howling out of the people who accepted the last 4 year ****show.

    Joe Biden strong favourite now.

    Trump is done :(

    into 1.44 now

    The left grow up getting trophies for taking part and it makes taking a loss a lot harder,

    There will definitely be more trouble if Trump wins - many thousands of people will continue dying of coronavirus, more people will lose access to needed health care, more refugees and migrants will be separated from their children and be subject to horrendous treatment at the borders, the US will continue to be an unreliable ally to us in Europe and continue to cozy up to tyrants elsewhere in the world, and all of those things will pale into insignificance compared to the environmental catastrophes that will continue happening as the second most polluting country on earth continues to dismantle its environmental regulations, in contrast to the rest of the world.

    Oh, but your definition of trouble is getting one over on the libs on social media isn't it? Who cares about real people's lives.

    no idea. when i went to bed at about 3am trump was 1.3!

    Me too. I was sure it was done at that stage. There's been some crazy swings in the odds since they started counting, after remaining effectively frozen for weeks.

    Where are you seeing this? American news site?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 262 ✭✭perrito caliente

    It can't possibly have passed you by that calling people "blacks" is not really legit, so what exactly is your point?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,366 ✭✭✭Ardent

    Nonsense.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,448 ✭✭✭✭namloc1980


    The usual Trumpist suspects aren't whooping and hollering like they were 2 hours ago on here!

    Black people is the correct term, blacks is a pejorative term. I ain't a a PC snowflake by any means but using blacks is not acceptable in this day and age outside of racist circles.

    Depending on your tone and context black people can be made as pejorative as the n-word.
    While I agree it doesn't belong in a proper academic vocabulary, in common use it is pejorative only if the one that utters it really intends it to be. I'm not moving into that estate, too many blacks - racist. Blacks and whites are all equal - not racist.
    Also as per my second post, calling them African American is actually really racist.
