NFL Star Reggie Bush Gets Conservative On Twitter

[Swordsmyth]

It looks like someone poisoned the entertainment well with conservative ideology. On Sunday morning, former NFL star and Kim Kardashian-boyfriend Reggie Bush went into a conservative line of questioning over the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).
"This might be a dumb question so I’m apologizing ahead of time but who audits the IRS?" Bush asked via Twitter. "How do we know exactly where our tax dollars go and that they are being used the right way?"

Bush, aligning himself with the principle of fiscal responsibility, makes a great point about the abundance of monetary waste and lack of real transparency in our federal tax system.

Reggie Bush was being serious. Kayne is trolling. Slavery a choice? If it was a choice then why wasn't Dred Scott freed when he told the Supreme Court "I choose not to be a slave anymore?"

It's not hard to find a black person who makes over 6 figures who doesn't like the IRS. Ummm.....Wesley Snipes anyone? How about David Chappelle?

If conservatives actually want to make headway with blacks, talk taxes and government waste. Talk about how much is wasted on military spending and big government contracts. Don't try to re-write history like Kanye.

While you perhaps a better perspective, every black leader I have ever seen -Malcolm X, Martin Luther King, Jesse Jackson, Sharpton, all the MSNBC black people Michael Eric Dyson, Toure, Melissa Harris Perry, etc range from hard core socialist to communist.

I think talking about fiscal issues is a political loser with every group, but particularly with blacks.

Kanye is actually right. His thought process has transcended that of the simpleton blacks who are incapable of breaking their mental shackles. Many seem to be content in their victim-hood, waiting for the white man and very system that enslaved them, to rescue them from their own ignorance. Frankly, they will be waiting for salvation for a long time at the current rate.

No he's not. Dred Scott "chose" to be free. He sued his master in court. He lost. Did you see the movie 12 years a slave? That was the story of a free man who was kidnapped and it took him 12 years to escape back to freedom. You still live in a country with an income tax. Did you choose that? Nat Turner attempted a slave rebellion. It failed. Denmark Vessey attempted a slave rebellion. It failed as well. If by "choice" you mean "Well I and a lot of my friends and family can choose to die so that ultimately slavery will end" then okay. But blacks who joined the union army did just that. So did the blacks who decided to be spies for the Union Army like Harriet Tubman.

Slavery started in the Americas roughly by 1619. Slaves were freed in 1863. Granted, we had the Jim Crow laws and other disadvantages, but that's nearly 155 years of relative free will. What has been accomplished? With no whippings or physical imprisonment, the slaves continue to pester the master for rinds of bread.

Let's see. You left off of your list Booker T. Washington, Frederick Douglas, A.G. Gaston, Marcus Garvey (Malcom X's father was a follower of Garvey), Tony Brown of Tony Brown's Journal and a whole host of other black leaders. And when talking to individual black people, most have a disfavorable view of the IRS. (I mentioned Wesley Snipes and David Chapelle but you snipped that out.) Why do you think Bill Clinton was able to get away with taking credit for the Republican "contract on America" and have "black leaders" behind him cheering him on as he pledged to "end welfare as we know it?" Sadly the GOP/Clinton crime bill was part of the legislation that got passed too.

Now you are changing what Kanye said. Kanye wasn't talking about 155 years of post slavery. He was talking about 400 years OF SLAVERY! If you have to change what the person you are defending actually said in order to defend him, then that is a tacit admission that you know he was full of crap.

He was referring to present day as well. 1619 to 2019. That was the clever dig.

To me it seemed his point was if someone was still considering themselves a slave it is their choice to do so. I bet if he was asked to claify, this would be it. Could be wrong however.

Usually when people speak of 400 years of slavery they are referring to the entire history of the slave trade in the Americas and not just what is now the United States.

Wow, fuckin horse shit.. Maybe you should listen to what Kanye says instead of the mainstream media..

Kanye explained his reasoning for why he said that.. He didn't mean it was each individual's choice to be a slave, but that collectively black people were mentally imprisoned for it to have gone on for 400 years. If all black people had Dred Scott's attitude much earlier, then they wouldn't have been slaves for that long.. at least in his opinion (his opinion is black people are still mentally enslaved to the Democratic Party)

The fact you think Kanye is just trolling and doesn't seriously agree with a lot of the conservative values he is espousing, though, is completely ludicrous.. is he using some trolling techniques? Ya, but what you said is completely wrong.

It didn't get to the colonies until the 17th century - the US wasn't a country until 1776

Kanye already clarified his statements but certain people depend on the mainstream media way too much.

Let me just throw this out for discussion and brainstorming...

It is fact that Hollywood constantly inserts left-wing propaganda, both subtle and blatant. Is it possible that perhaps they over-shot and created some unintended consequences with the recent movie "Black Panther"? Instead of making black people feel dependent upon the left-wing crony Democrats, it was actually motivational?

I have not yet seen the movie, so I can't comment. I have heard good reviews. Has anyone else seen that movie? I would wager that both Kanye and Reggie Bush have seen the movie.

Ummm...that's why I said the Americas and not the British colonies. Reading is fundamental.
