Because the right in the US is racist and misogynistic as hell. The left isn't much better, but they are better.

The Left has its own soft misogyny and sometimes obvious misogyny like the Equality Act.

But at the moment, Donald Trump and his enabler, Senate Majority Leader Republican Mitch McConnell, are the two most dangerous men on Earth IMO.

How is the right racist when they've done all this.

Just to summarize (since I know most people won't watch the video): school choice (allowing black families in the inner city to choose to send their kids to suburban schools), music modernization act (more money for musicians who stream music, the majority of successful ones in America are black - just look at the top ten billboard chart at any given time), opportunity zones (bringing jobs to low income communities), first step act (reducing prison sentences by an average of 70 months, majority of whom are black and were put in jail by Biden's policies), tax cuts for small businesses (many owned by immigrants).

If they're racist why are they supported by so many mainstream black people like Candace Owens, Joya Villa, Ben Carson, Thomas Sowell, Coleman Hughes, KingFace, Larry Elder, Kim Klacik, etc...?

If they're racist, they really suck at it. Especially since this is more than Obama did for the black community (unless you have evidence to the contrary).

I can't stand neo-Liberal corporatist Biden either, and agree that he's far from a saint on racial issues, but Trump routinely says things that are meant to incite a race war and even his former cultist, Michael Cohen, says that Trump is very racist.

And I'm not a fan of the version of Critical Race Theory that I was "taught" during a corporate seminar: I prefer Martin Luther King's judge a person by the content of their character not the color of their skin. I went to a very diverse grade school just around the time of MLK and we all just got along or at least, weren't split down racial lines, and there were many close, cross-racial friendships.

And the black writers you mention with whom I'm familiar (so not all on your list) are pretty nuts - except for maybe Thomas Sowell, who I agree with sometimes (pass the smelling salts). Some of them do sometimes make good points, but all-in-all they seem kind of Uncle-Tomish.

I'll leave an Obama fan to talk about Obama's record with blacks.

The Prison Industrial Complex needs to be dismantled, I agree. That should be a priority of whoever the next president is.

like RE: Charlottesville protests

there were very fine people on both sides

because the full quote was actually

there were very fine people on both sides, and I don't mean the neo-Nazis and white supremacists, who I condemn totally

Are you reading about the things Trump supposedly says or are you watching the actual raw footage of his remarks?

Obama paved the way for black transwomen to utilize women's shelters... (I'd put /s, but it's fact, not really sarcasm, sadly.)

You forgot that the Black unemployment rate under Donald Trump fell under 6% for the first time since the Federal Reserve began tracking by race in 1972.
