Its not about Trump as Ive said so many times, we are entering a world where big tech controls every tiny part of our lives, Facebook admitted it could change peoples moods.

Its shooting fish in a barrel for them to control the perspective of events and cancel opposing and voices you are not questioning this terrifying power because you agree with it.
The media has always controlled political power, but it had its limits, twatter, youtube and google have no restraint on any of their practices from completely obvious to subtle, then they can adjust the narrative on the outrage.

Trumps a bigboy, he'll get over it while we have just handed them the green light and we wont be able to get over it.
Google should have an enforced equal partisan bias on its board.
Fuck diversity of colour...we need diversity of ideology.

The first few words gave you away...like a 20 stone fat bloke hiding behind a piece of bamboo.

I'm sure but why specify white poor people. It's more likely that the poorest in the country are not white...

In fact they are a smaller % compared to others:

You've read it wrong (which was the intention of the site btw). The "poverty rate" is the % of an ethnic group in poverty, which is 20% for blacks and 10% for whites, but as an absolute number, that means more whites are in poverty since whites are around five times the overall population as blacks. Its actually sites like that are part of the problem.

I think we can all agree that I 'gave myself away' a long time ago.
But thanks for avoiding the point with a generalisation.

What "point"? Is this another of those things where something affects you so it must affect everybody everywhere? If you let "big tech control every tiny part of your life" that's on you.

You're wilfully ignoring the point he's making - there's absolutely a relevant argument about corporate control of conversation, especially in a country where freedom of speech is constitutionally protected.

The founding fathers didn't envisage an electronic means of communication when they drew up the laws - or corporate control of speech, otherwise they'd have covered it.

Admittedly, Job doesn't really have a clue about it - he just knows one thing is right and he's going to blame everything on that.

Google deny censoring conservative websites by arguing they do it to socialist websites.

This is the problem with censoring at all.

Especially as censoring is based on the premise "you're too childish to understand this, not me, of course, I can read anything and not be affected, but other people - hell no, they'll turn into idiots if they read this. Best ban this content".

Fair enough. The actual number of white poor is greater. But nearly 25% of black people are in poverty vs only 10% of white people.
So you have a better advantage if you are white than if you are black which was the point really.

Bidens legal team basically just said something a long these lines

"If Trump refuses to accept the outcome of the election he can and will be ejected from the White House, by force if need be."

I like the quotation marks for something he said along these lines.

#fakenews.

Its power...simple as that, possibly the greatest power humanity has seen.

Previously only held by the great religions and just as destructive.

If Trump leaves one truth to the world its the fact that fakenews will be the unravelling of us all.

And Trump was the only president to reduce black poverty.
But whatever...racist.

We're in a digital age, it was inevitable that larger tech companies would start to swing their dick around... just like it was inevitable in the past for religion to do the same.

But its not the point when it comes to politics is it? If there are more white voters in poverty than black ones, then it makes sense to appeal to them as a group.

No he fucking wasn't. Blatantly not so. Think that through for about ten seconds. Properly think it through.

Hey don't be so quick to answer in the negative. If enough BLM protesters were killed then that could have reduced the poverty figures.

I don't doubt absolute poverty of the black population by percentage - but the worst achieving demographic in the country are poor white british kids.

So, there's something about the society we've built that puts them at the biggest disadvantage compared to any other demographic. It could well be that they feel worthless and underrepresented because, in an effort to fix more obvious problems, we're putting our efforts elsewhere.

This is what Job is moaning about. We know it's a problem, but it doesn't look like we're looking to fix it. (Not that job actually cares - because he hates those kids, and their parents, and thinks it's a waste of time - but it gives him some ammo to have a pop at the blacks and what he percieves to be 'liberal' culture - so he uses it). But it's still a real thing.

I mean you can read all the liberal news trying to hide it with the help of google.

But the fucking census proves it.

So how does that equate to "the only president to reduce black poverty"? Words have meaning fuckwit. African-American living standards have continually increased since WW2. The biggest jump was the 50s to the 70s; FAR larger than any growth under OrangeMan. Why don't you ever think rather than just parroting shit?

We are talking about the US not Britain :D

Trump's mentality is like a child, he always gets the adults around him seemingly needing to explain what he really means.
