Absolute bullshit.

When you invest in a company, you can become what's known as a 'shareholder'. When the company makes a profit and pays its shareholders, you also get your 'share'.

She got a return on her investment at Dream Project Partners Inc. Big fucking deal.

I hope she responds to this dumbass right wing misinformation immediately. She's obviously Georgia's best candidate for governor, so we can expect more baseless, idiotic attacks like this.

You're describing a dividend. Abrams was paid a salary. That's a completely different thing.

She will not be able to respond to this in any meaningful way. I don't know that it will hurt her. Stacy's as obvious a product of the "quiet racism of low expectations" as you'll ever find.

You'll also know that $150k is nothing for that kind of work. The assholes pushing this nothingburger GOP propaganda are making 10s of millions, sending it straight to their offshore acounts.(which were discovered a few years ago - lots of politicians on those leaked documents). Why aren't we concerned about those offshore accounts? Politicians also get $250k+ for lectures and advice. The Bill Clinton made millions after his presidency doing just that. Georgia's current congresspeople are hidiously corrupt. There are no flies on Abrams. Evidence for this is obviously the lame ass claim that a $150 payment from 'Dream Project Partners Inc.' (whatever the fuck hey are) is somehow a big deal. It's literally nothing. Contrast that with the $2 billion J Kushner received from Saudi Arabia as soon as he managed to magically get top level security clearance. He and Trump should be hanged for espionage. Americans should be outraged and protesting at their houses, throwing molotov cocktails. Anything to address the ongoing corruption on the Hill.

I don't know what kind of work if any she did for that money, but in any case government- particularly state and local government- just runs better under right-wingers. The black Democrats that get elected in Georgia are just terrible.

Look at Hank Johnson, who worried that Guam might tip over if we sent more sailors there. Thanks to the miracle of universal enfranchisement, this guy is my Congressman. His most recent initiative has been to make rap lyrics inadmissible in court. That's horseshit. There's a violent crime epidemic, and we're throwing an assist to a bunch of fucking thugs?

Look at what was done to Druid Hills High School. The black members of the school board just refused to renovate it because it's more white than other high schools. Ha ha, we'll make whitey's kids run around during shit during recess.

Both of these examples are from the last 2-3 months. I didn't have to google this. It's right in our faces, right now.

These people cannot be trusted. They are 100% tribal in their mentality and will ruin anything they're allowed to. I fully support any effort to dilute the influence of their natural constituency by any legal means- gerrymandering, the electoral college, intervention by the (still Republican) state government.

That last thing (intervention by the State of Georgia) is what finally got Druid Hills High School a fair deal, and it's mind-boggling that this is even an issue. Druid Hills High School ought to be one of the crown jewels of that school system, but those retards (and I mean that quite literally) are so caught up in racist bullshit that they'd throw that away.

Again- tribal. They are NOT people we want anywhere near the ballot box.

And remember what America was really like under Trump. Why are there bums everywhere now? Why is everything so expensive? It's just a coincidence that things were better under Republicans? Bullshit!

You'd love the sub, /s/debatealtright . They never tire of writing mini essays claiming that the dark color of skin of a person defines that person as an asshole. Your arguments here depend entirely on: school board members who are black are assholes, when you know very well that assholes come in all colors, shapes, sizes and ages. And there are plenty of non-blacks on school boards who are exceptional assholes, that are tribal, that want taxpayer money to pay for charter schools, that want to require prayer and the 10 commandements in grade schools, that are literally the American ISIS or American Taliban. There is absolutely nothing redeemable about the users at /s/debatealtright . They're quite tibal, with pointy hats, white sheets and masks. Republicans also love them. Their Christo-fascist solution would genocide billions.

These white people you think are villains are simply trying to preserve their culture. The fact that we are even able to discuss these things is a product of that culture.

The black people who oppose them have no culture. We destroyed it, because their ancestors were trapped in the Hobbesian state of war and their children deserved better.

White people who deny these things typically have deep-seated psychological issues, often involving misplaced resentment and hostility secondary to their own failures. You need to accept that it's not your dad's fault you're mediocre, and it's OK. But you must participate in decent, Occidental society or you are, frankly, a damned sinning idiot.

These white people you think are villains are simply trying to preserve their culture.

It is IMPOSSIBLE to ethnically disconnect so-called "white" people from so-called non-whites in the US. It's all one culture. CULTURE is not the word you want to use. You are arguing for ethnic DNA testing, so that the "white" descendent of Thomas Jefferson who's great great great... grandmother was black can be excluded from the DNA proven melanin deficient "white" assholes who think they're different. The fact is, everyone is somewhat mixed. This discussion at DAR usually descends into being racist about fewer and fewer people, until one ends up at Sub-Saharan Africa. All of the groups considered non-wite that are not Sub-Saraharan are excluded eventually from the usual "who is white" dialectic. It's REALLY FUCKING STUPID, not to mention MEAN to one's fellow man and in violation of the golden rule. If you don't like blacks, just say so. So-called "whites" cannot claim to have an exclusive 'culture' or 'ethnicity'. Eugenics failed in the early 20 century and won't return for reasonable people. That said, there are some who want to be pure Hebrews, or pure Japanese, or pure Native American, or whatever. But even in these groups there are exceptions for the relative who fucked someone of a different ethnicity.

I don't see what's so shameful about supporting the political candidates and political outcomes that I sincerely think will maximize everyone's safety and happiness. This thread is about Stacy Abrams, who you seem to think would make a great Governor. My honest assessment is that she comes from a black, Democratic political movement that just hasn't produced good politicians in Georgia.

I'm sorry if that hurts your feelings, but there are real problems to be dealt with here- children to be educated, roads to be maintained, public safety and vagrancy issues, etc. This is not some abstract contest over who can be the kindest or most virtuous.

None of this has anything to do with whether or not I like black people. I do, but even if I didn't I would want the best for the neighborhood, city, and state we share. Supporting a bunch of scalawags and low-rent grifters who happen to be black is no way to show love to black people.

    What possible reason other than "feelings" could there be for voting for people who you know will just fuck everything up?
