Jahleel Sayers I've worked in the service industry for years. I've told many people to leave the establishment and most often they were white. You're just enamoured with a specific narrative and that's all you want to hear or see. Brandon Tatum was once a police officer and he would have been the guy I would have called to have people removed and have called. Not him specifically, but his counterpart. He's said that he's answered this type of call numerous times and I don't doubt for one minute that he has. Try to talk to police officers sometime. They'll tell you the nonsense they go through every day dealing with clowns like those two at Starbucks and I guarantee you that clowns like that come in every shade of colour known to man. Try and be a little honest and find out for yourself what really goes on.

@dnycebushton5008 No...you're in charge of your OWN life. If you're pulled over, do as the cop asks. It's that simple. Take your fine, like an adult and stop with the 4 year old temper tantrums. The guy in this video caused his own problems. He decided to drive away, knowing that the police would chase him. If he hurts or kills someone, even himself, it's his own fault. He knows the rules and the consequences of his actions and refuses to accept them. It's as foolish as it gets.

Great comment. So many of them are doing parodies of women, not the real thing, at all. I compare it to doing black face. I feel as if they're mocking women but we'd better not say anything because "hate speech".

@allday2772 Maybe he did. He was there to speak truth. The truth hurts but causing pain isn't his agenda. It's truth....the noblest goal that anyone can aspire to.

Jahleel Sayers Confused about what? I'll bet you my next pension cheque that he'd never get kicked out of a coffee shop and he knows why. It's because he knows how to conduct himself as a mature and responsible adult. He does not abide making excuses for himself and has the awareness to understand how to behave in a civilised society. How is that confused?

@The Real Joe I don't accept cheating. PERIOD. If you support those phoney women competing and beating real women, then you support cheating. Also, you're engaging in identity politics and bias. Not ALL women support this stuff. You'd quite happily allow young women athletes to lose scholarships and negate all their hard work to excel, because you want to believe that these young women "want" this. I've yet to meet a woman that thinks that this is ethical. Stand up for what is right. It's what "men" are supposed to do.

Yes they do get arrested. I've had them arrested. I had one couple arrested and the guy told me he was a cop from out of town. I told him I didn't care if he was the Pope and she was the Virgin Mary, they were leaving. They refused and they were arrested and they were white and dressed quite well. Break the rules and you'll be required to leave. I can't answer for what happens in South Africa but here that's the way it is.

I played hockey. If my heart was broken because someone called me a bad name, I wouldn't have played 2 games. How do you play such a physical sport, like hockey or football, and not be the target of verbal abuse? It doesn't even make sense. I'd rather they called me names than drive the butt end of a hockey stick, which someone did, and crush my left cheek bone. Since when did petunias start playing these sports?

Apparently the people of California believe that their elected officials ARE doing their jobs. Why else would they keep voting them back to office? It's not just the politicians. It's the stupidity of the majority of Californians. They have their heads in the dirt and because they truly believe that the MSM wouldn't lie to them. It's the culture that the left has cultivated and it won't change until the people of California change. I don't see that happening. Too many snobby elites just don't care.

@Alexis Massey He can speak on anything that he wants. It doesn't make him right and it can be just plain stupid. Comparing an NFL player, who's making more money in an afternoon, then the rest of us do in a year, to a slave is stupid. He has the right to say stupid things and we have the right to tell him that it is stupid.

@waynejohanson1083 And insurance rates will go up and up and you, the customer, will pay for those premiums. Insurance companies aren't going to pay and pay and go bankrupt. In the end, it will always be YOU that pays. How anyone could be that naive is astounding. You might think that you're sticking it to the man but you're sticking it to yourself and that's as dumb as it gets.

@oshen506 Why don't you try discussing an issue where she lied? This generic "she's a liar" is incredibly simplistic, almost to the point of childish. Discuss the issues not the person. For example, in the clip shown, why didn't any of the press ask about the incredible spike in shootings? Why didn't they ask about that poor little girl that was shot by BLM supporters? That was horrific. They'd rather ask, over and over again, even though they've heard the answer, over and over again "Why does the president call it the Wuhan flu?" No substance whatsoever. All fluff and superficial posturing.

@bolt4694 No fathers because years ago, LBJ and his great society, made it more profitable for women to have children and not be married. This led to father apathy and it encouraged the "stud" attitude towards procreation. If you created a situation in which it would be financially better for those women to be married, you'd see that attitude slowly change. However, it will take a couple of generations just like LBJ's great society policies took generations to get where we are now. If you nurture a "no father" culture, don't be surprised when children start to run wild.

@thefallenslavesusall1857 Of course he had to mention that the woman he helped was black. It was the whole point of the story. Also, no one knows who he is. You can't even send him a dinner for two gift card for his chivalry. As a matter of fact, he might not even be a "he". She could be a "she". That's how little we know about this person. What good is virtue signalling if you're identity is hidden. Rather lame.

You Suck The American public voted a Black man for President for the first time in history, a Democrat, and what happened? Race riots....for the first time since the sixties. How is that possible? Obama should be standing as a beacon for all young black people to show that anything is possible, even for them. Why didn't it happen? Why did a group, BLM, rise with such strong influence? Why wasn't Obama telling his black constituents that they could do it? You'd think that the blacks in Chicago would have been proud of their native son but it didn't seem that way at all. Chicago has been led by Democrats for decades and it's been horrible there for the blacks. Obama talked about change. Well.....it didn't happen. It's worse now than it was before he was president. Keep voting Democrat. Apparently, you think it'll change things. By the looks of it you're right. Obama's last year in office had the worst race riots in decades. That's a change all right but not one I'd think you'd approve of. You are right about one thing. Trump is an idiot.

@rickeybakerbaker8915 Another generic comment. No substance at all. Explain to me what was wrong with the clip that was shown in this video. Present a reasoned and well thought out critique of Kayleigh's comments in the video. THEN, you'd have something that I could respect. Your expletive is just another school yard insult.

@jrooksable She's a Democrat because the Democrats are more in line with Socialist ideology. Socialists know the difference. They don't like anyone that might have the money and influence to usurp state power. Bernie Sanders is another socialist and a Democrat. So is AOC. They're using the Democrat Party as a springboard to authoritarian Marxism. It's called infiltration.

@MONSTER-hl2yi "Man is born in sin" Funny how that's morphed into "White man is born in sin".

@TheSkala9 Liberal definition: willing to respect or accept behavior or opinions different from one's own; open to new ideas. relating to or denoting a political and social philosophy that promotes individual rights, civil liberties, democracy, and free enterprise. We've poisoned the meaning of the word "liberal" over the last few decades. There are basic differences between conservatives and liberals but both have NOTHING in common with the far left. They're Marxist in nature and are fighting for revolution in order to build a new Utopia from it's ashes. More and more, liberals are starting to see that the left has lost it and find themselves agreeing with conservatives on more issues. Bill Maher is just standing up for what is true in that Education Bill. It has nothing to do with a stance on gays at all.

@manifesting.inner.g True history, huh? l learned all about slavery in school. About Jim Crow, the drinking fountains, the Poll Tax, Dredd Scott, the KKK....learned it all in school. That's history and it's true history. I learned it in the sixties. I also learned about the abolitionist movement, Abraham Lincoln and the Civil War that finally abolished slavery and I know the Civil Rights movement and Dr. Martin Luther King are also taught in school. So your comment is all just plain nonsense. Also, it's DEMOCRATS that are supporting CRT and Republicans that are against it. Why would Republicans be against "true history". The Republican Party was formed specifically to end slavery. Abraham Lincoln was a Republican and Jefferson Davis was a Democrat. It was Democrat president, Andrew Johnson, that ended Reconstruction after the Civil War and the first black Americans elected to office, were also Republicans. Democrats fought to save slavery, voted against allowing blacks to become American citizens, didn't want blacks to vote and when blacks were able to vote, the Democrats were the beneficiaries of the thugish behaviour of the KKK who used fear to discourage the blacks from voting. The Democrats initiated Jim Crow, the Poll Tax and fought against the Civil Rights Movement. In fact, LAST YEAR, California Democrats wanted to repeal the California Civil Rights Act. Democrats did this. If anyone wants "true history" betrayed, it would be the Republicans. Yet they oppose CRT. Do you know why? Because, what the Democrats want taught and what CRT teaches, works to minimise the Democrats negative contributions to the history of black Americans. In other words, CRT is NOT "true history". It's an ideology, that's borne out of Marxism, that teaches perpetual division and it leads to the hatred and vitriol of the guy that's threatening that audience with a 1000 man army. That would seek to divide the family, of that woman, into racial camps....THAT'S your CRT. We don't want that division. That's why Republicans are against CRT.

@southernbellnc6241 Parent/child relationships are unbelievably complex. This does include all kinds of arguments and family strife. Good people understand this and incorporate forgiveness in their lives. However, the narcissist, like Kaepernick, uses the difficult times, to advance their own agenda or line their pockets. He went through nothing of real consequence except being raised in an affluent home with parents who loved him (his words). That's what he went through. The rest is nitpicking about little things of no significance that only a spoiled first world child would complain about.
9
@madD8845 Everything is "problematic". All you have to do is go and look for the problems and you're bound to find them. Kaepernick is an opportunist and he's working modern cultural pressures to make himself a buck or two. Embarrassing your parents, before the entire country, is something that an ungrateful spoiled teenager would do. It's time for him to grow up.

@MrThelittleguy903 How can you debate someone who claims to be a woman and then tells you that they don't know what a woman is? Me: "I'm a mugwump." Them: "What's a mugwump?" Me: "I don't know" How could anyone take me seriously? How could anyone take THEM seriously?

Kind of makes him the slave owner, doesn't it? I'll bet he'd love to hear that.

@johanvanderpants9363 Murder is a crime of intent. They did NOT intend to murder the guy. They came to arrest someone who had already killed someone else and the police were afraid that any attempt at an arrest could potentially end in the suspects resisting arrest and using violence to escape from the police. They'd already shown their willingness to kill. You want a guarantee that the arrest will ALWAYS go smoothly. You're not going to get it. It's an impossibility. Everything that you're complaining about is due to a narrative that police are hunting black men. Had this been a white or Asian guy, you'd never even heard of it. You're being manipulated by the press who love the controversy and you're own seething hatred based along racial lines.

@jamesbarnett6772 It's my job to protect my wife and daughter. If I don't do that, I may as well pack my bags and move on. If a trans athlete ruins my daughter's chances at a scholarship, I'm going to say something. I can't fix everything but I do know one thing. If I don't fight this movement, I'll be letting my daughter and any eventual granddaughter's down. I'll be letting myself down in the process, as well. If you don't fight for what's right, you're allowing what's wrong to win and it will only get worse. You can give up if you want and try to live in some bubble but eventually your bubble is going to burst. That's when you'll realise that you should have fought right from the beginning instead of waiting till it was too late.

Boyd Before you start on anything, I think Trump is friggen meathead. However, he's not a white supremacist. It's his second year as president and what has he done that directly affects ethnic groups in a negative way? What laws that says blacks or any other is group must be denied their civil rights? Trump is a big enough buffoon that you don't have to make up things about him. When you do that, you begin to sound like a liar and one not to be trusted. That only serves to direct people to lay their allegiance with Trump and not where you want it to be. Be reasonable with your claims. It was your kind of wild allegations that got him the presidency in the first place and if those on the left keep doing it, he'll win the next election as well. Straight facts, not this "Trump is a Nazi" BS. That's school yard politics, not something a mature adult should engage in.

Alfonso Padron What are those other guys doing looting, burning, threatening people with bodily harm and destroying people's businesses and homes? A small town with around 25 businesses completely destroyed and the mayor and state governor do NOTHING. Kyle worked in Kenosha, volunteered to clean graffiti that the rioters painted on walls, offered medical aid to rioters, protected the businesses that were left unprotected and even put out fires. He would have stayed home had the political leaders, that were elected by the people of Kenosha, done their job. He was protecting the town. The people, that attacked him, were gleefully destroying it. Once again, if the people that you elect refuse to protect their community, should we all just allow thugs and criminals burn it down? You're the lamb who willingly walks to the slaughter.

I would like you, Officer Tatum, to ask your kid's school for their curriculum. If they give you a hard time, show the rest of us. In fact, I think every parent reading this should do the same. Put the pressure on.

@johanvanderpants9363 He was hanging out with his cousins who were wanted for murder and armed robbery. Strange how you don't seem to mind that kind of activity. What would be YOUR solution to stopping those REAL dangers to society? I would lay bets that you don't have any realistic solutions. If the police try to stop their violence, you complain. If they allow them to continued on their crime spree, you complain.....especially if YOU'RE the victim. No matter what, according to you, the police would be in the wrong. Buddy was sleeping with a gun at the ready. Who does that??? I'd say that it would be someone who knew that he was in a dangerous place, either from others seeking revenge or the police. You lay down with dogs, you will get up with fleas. You're just too possessed with hate to allow for any kind of reasonable or rational conclusion on this situation. When you allow emotion to rule logic, you'll end up perpetuating the kind of violence that these people were involved in.

@dubnation5824 What incredible nonsense. Not one person in the NFL is a slave. Not one. They can leave the game any time they want and some have. They're not forced to play. Ever. They're doing what kids do in high school for fun in parks and empty lots and getting paid huge money for it so they can spend their lives in a life of ease and freedom. I see your problem. You are filled with envy. You're one of those guys that is continuously looking at everyone else's pile and hating them for having more. You're a Marxist, whose goal is to make sure that everyone has the exact same size pile and every assessment you make involves that comparison of assets. The one with the biggest pile, is automatically the bad guy. It's ideological obsession inspired by envy. You don't care about mitigating suffering, you want EVERYONE to suffer like you believe you're suffering. It's a rot that comes from within, a rot that inspires hate to the point that you believe that working hard and being of value to society is pointless because society is against you. You have no concept of the realities of life. You only see that others are better off than you and that pisses you off. It's a sad way to live and it wouldn't be so bad except it's people who live that way that have caused a great deal of suffering in the last 100 years. It's what drove the Soviet Union, Red China, Cambodia, Venezuela and the horror of what is now North Korea. Strangely, it drives you in such a powerful way that you can't even begin to see that the poor in the Western, Capitalist countries live better than people have ever lived in human history. All you know is that someone has more than you do.

That's because they know that the most effective indoctrination starts at those ages. They're grooming, not for sexual purposes, but to work towards their Marxist Utopia. Their leaders are saying it. It's in their books and in their university classrooms. People have to become more informed about how insidious this stuff actually is.
6
@mannygomez7980 The equal right to act in a manner which lacks integrity. Those men KNOW that they will win. They might as well compete with little children. That's how much meaning and hollow their victories are. I mean...it's ageism to not allow me to compete with 7 year old children. It's just not fair.

@johanvanderpants9363 He isn't justifying an innocent man being killed. He's saying that this wasn't a case of the police just going in and killing an innocent man for no reason. This guy was SO concerned for his safety, that he felt he had to sleep with a gun under the blankets with him. Who feels that way? Only one who knows what's going on and the dangers of being where he is. Tatum is decrying the automated response of those who would cause violence and destruction in protests. It's like I said, you want guarantees in the handling of serious criminals, that nothing would ever go wrong. It's some kind of Utopian vision of perfection and if things don't go perfectly, then you get angry. That guy had better realise that if he doesn't want to be on the wrong side of a police altercation, he'd be advised not to hang out with those who are actively committing serious crimes. Only the most naive or ideological possessed would believe that this guy didn't know what his cousins were up to. He knew and that was why he was up and, in spite of only being partially awake, had a gun in his hand within seconds. It's too bad that it happened but you either respect the law, which he clearly did not, and be careful who you associate with, or you increase the risk of finding yourself in a bad situation manifold. If you live by the sword you will die by the sword.

@johanvanderpants9363 You're trying to sugarcoat it and you know it. I'm not talking about 2A and you know that as well. He KNEW that he was in a dangerous situation and it wasn't his home. No, one that I know of, sleeps with a gun so readily available while sleeping and most of my friends support the 2A. You're doing everything possible to make it seem as if he was just an innocent. That meme about how he fed the poor, wanted to be minister, was turning his life around and nonsense like that. You're using the "He was within his 2A rights" as a defence, thinking that this is such a clever argument. It's not. It's pure gaslighting. They went with a no-knock warrant because they knew just how dangerous these guys were. It was all outlined in the warrant. They did it this way to prevent a neighbourhood standoff that could have killed a lot more people. They had every reason to believe that possibility and within seconds of entering the home, a gun was pulled. The officers had no time to ask who he was or why he was pointing a gun at them. They issued a no-knock warrant because they believed the situation could be extremely volatile and the first person they encountered upon entering the home did exactly what they feared would happen. However, they were prepared and the death count was held at one. Had his cousins been forewarned it could have been FAR worse. That's why the no-knock warrant. It was to overwhelm the occupants before it got to far out of control because they knew that they were dealing with people who were already out of control.
5
@johanvanderpants9363 The fact that this was a volatile situation and that the police knew it, is validated by the 16 page warrant, outlining why they felt that it was necessary. However, the police can not carry out that warrant on their own say so. They had to present that warrant to a judge, who evaluates the evidence presented and decides on whether the no-knock warrant is necessary. This is some knee jerk action by the police. It took thought, the collection of evidence, the presentation of the credentials of the police officer involved and the signing off by a judge. The police don't want to have more people involved in the arrest than is necessary. It just makes it all more dangerous for themselves and for others. He was there. The police had no way of knowing that he was there and they weren't going to tip off the suspects by placing surveillance officers in the neighbourhood. This guy had to have known what his cousins were up to. They posted a lot of it all over social media. If the police had waited until the PERFECT situation that guaranteed no problems whatsoever, who knows how many those cousins would have killed in the interim. They're in a "damned if they do, damned if they don't" situation and the best thing to do is to nip it quickly in the bud before the suspects kill even more people. You're living in dreamland if you think that the perfect time exists at all times. Instead of moaning about how he was so innocent, you should be telling people to be careful about who they associate with if they don't want to find themselves at the wrong side of a police altercation or even a gang retribution situation.

@Jesusismysavior92 I'm not going to say that you'd be a cop. What if you were part of a group that wanted to kill someone in the home out of revenge. A guy is sleeping on the couch. You kick the couch to wake him up and he's gets up reaching for his gun. He's sleepy but he's got that gun. Are you going to start questioning him. "Hey buddy what's your name?". This took seconds. They didn't have the benefit, like you have, of going it over and over, in slow motion, to see if he what he was going to do. It was a split second action. They didn't have the option of stopping the action and leaving and trying the no-knock warrant over until it was perfect. Real life is a lot different than slow motion replays. I guarantee that you'd be blasting away because you don't want to be the one with the toe tag.

@RoarofdalioN Well he's himself now.....and it's not pretty. "Himself" is NOT a nice person.

@dubnation5824 You've destroyed me? You've called me names. That school yard tactics. "You're a deluded fool" isn't destroying anything. It's what a 10 year old does when he's reacting in an emotional manner. A debate isn't about calling the opponent names and hurling insults. It's about examining facts and using references and logic to make a point. "You don't know the troubles I've seen" isn't a debating point. It's an appeal to emotion. It's the tactic of the intellectually weak.

I'm not even religious and I approve of this verse.

@larrog8413 When you don't stand up for what's right, you'll get exactly that.....failed liberal policies. Your attitude exemplifies EXACTLY why the country is deteriorating so rapidly. You have no concept of what's right or wrong or you just don't care. If you allow that guy to steal from the store, he'll be stealing from YOU next. Right and wrong isn't determined by the identity of the victim.

Go away but send the monthly cheque.

@NicerNine What a simplistic way of assessing the guy. It's so easy to call people names and throw accusations around. Bends to the mob.....wow. He's had people with all types of ideologies and he allows them to speak. He'll point out inconsistencies and question things that may not seem right but he's not afraid to engage with anyone. They're only mad at him because he dared to use Ivermectin to help fight Covid. They're mad because he talked to Dr. Robert Malone, a man instrumental in the development of the Covid vaccine and who has grave concerns about the mandates. Rogan allows people to challenge the powers that be and to support them if that's what they want to do. Those power elites don't want anyone to challenge their power and assertions and they will shut down anyone that attempts to do so. Rogan could have been a coward and not had Dr. Malone on his show but he did. Now he has to face the consequences of stepping out of line. It would have been so much easier had he not stuck his neck out had and invited that doctor onto his show. In other words, your concept of cowardly behaviour is incredibly skewed.
5
@taekwondoguy6039 I wouldn't get mad if I was sleeping at the home of white supremacists, so afraid of the potential violence associated with sleeping there that I felt the need to sleep with a gun in my hand. It wasn't as if he was sleeping at grandma's house and the police just shot him. He was in the home of someone wanted for murder and it would appear he KNEW that there was a potential for violence. You're just another guy obsessed with their racial hatred.
4
Sounds like a guy that can't control his emotions. He might find that professional counseling could teach a little self control.

There's a fine line between kind and stupid.

@NicerNine I said that I don't believe he should have apologised. That's not that difficult to understand. I also said that I wasn't going to judge him because I don't know all the details, implying that maybe he had an excellent reason for doing so that we don't know about. I'm not going to judge on what I don't know. As for CNN, I will judge them if I catch them in a lie. They spread the fabricated narrative about the Covington kids. I seen it on their network and it took me 10 to 15 minutes to find the original video and prove their take as BS. If I can do it, some guy living alone in a one bedroom apartment in another country, most definitely CNN could have done it. As Brian Stelter said, they have the big research department with fact checkers and "experts". They had a narrative that they wanted and they didn't care about the truth and I'm calling them liars because I HAVE the evidence. I never once said that I was Republican OR conservative. I'm not even American. Even if I AM conservative, we're not one big singular mind. We're not the Borg. We can think on our own and we're allowed differences of opinion and still hold basic values. Quit trying to put me into a pigeonhole and telling me what I should be or what I should think. I'm an individual and that's all that I want to be.

@danieldidonato3881 Of course I'm not good with that. Only a psychopath would be. That's why I avoid psychopaths as much as possible. His cousins were psychopaths. The arrest warrant shows just how murderous they were. The police raid at these times in order to surprise and subdue their suspects before they have a chance to retaliate, suspects who have shown that cold blooded murder is a way of life for them. He decided to hang out with psychopaths, knowing what they were to the point of feeling it necessary to have a gun within reach while sleeping. The dumbest thing a person can do. He may not have committed any crime that we know of, but he surely knew what his cousins were about and knew that they were under threat of either an arrest or retaliation. He put himself in harm's way and then escalated things when his first instinct was to reach for his gun. You'd be doing the young a better service by telling them to watch who they associate with if they don't want to end in a bad situation. If you don't want to be stung by bees, don't stick your hand in their nest. Just plain common sense.
3
@johanvanderpants9363 I wish you had a solution but right how it doesn't exist. Second guessing doesn't help and, I've said this earlier. If you don't want to end up in a situation like this, don't associate with those who invite these situations. Who's more likely to be stung by a wasp? The one who sees the nest and avoids it or the one who sticks his hand into the nest to see what's inside? The one way to lessen these unfortunate situations would be to tell people, make it a part of our culture, that there are bad people out there and to avoid them at all costs. We don't though. There is an underculture that glorifies the gangster lifestyle and then we're aghast when there are consequences for trying to live up to that glorification. It's insane and thousands are paying for it with their lives every year.

@dobby1359 Give me a break. You really expect anyone, whether a cop or not, to wait to see if the guy intends to shoot them or not. I'd say that your survival rate in a war setting would be next to zero. They were going in to arrest suspects that cold bloodedly killed someone else. The police were positive that these guys were capable and willing to kill them, if given the chance. It took seconds. Anyone, with any kind of survival instincts would have done what those police officers did, including YOU. In the same situation, you would have shot him because you want to live. You're either a liar or a damned fool is you claim otherwise.

Never happen. Those "comedians" at SNL haven't done anything this funny in years. Not even close.

@Techandfut That settle it then. Brandon Blooming disagrees. We can all go home now.

@bnbtoys Hip hop and rap is being played because parents are allowing their kids to buy the music and listen to it. If no one is buying it, they can't make it at a profit. Ultimately, it's how those kids are being raised. They're not being raised to believe that the lyrics, in rap and hip hop, are encouraging anti-social behaviour, especially against women. You're not understanding how important good parenting is to any society. Hip hop would never have taken hold in the fifties. Parents, at that time, would not have allowed this stuff in their homes.

If they don't get the answer they like, they'll just insist that answers are racist and any answer will do. 2+2=167......prove me wrong as he puts his fingers in his ears.

@dubnation5824 That was the most incoherent, rambling, profanity laced rant I've read in awhile. The grammar was incredibly bad. My 12 year old grand daughter could have written a more intelligible piece than that 2 years ago. I find it very difficult to believe that you're an academic of any kind, let alone an historian. You've done nothing but use insulting language and not one word of it presents a clear and concise rebuttal to anything that I might have said or implied. It's a rant filled with hate and vitriol and not one that one should ever be taken seriously over the internet. However, when meeting face to face, I'd be concerned due to what appears to be a personality which could be extremely dangerous and unpredictable. You're a little out there.....a lot out there, actually.

none of your damn business Then you may as well say that you're a slave of life. Money is a convenient means to trade or negotiate for the things that we need to sustain us, like food, water, clothing and shelter, the very basics of life. Every high end species needs some of these things and our fragility demands that we need more. In reality, we in the west, live a life of comparative ease. The poorest of us live better than even the richest did 500 years ago. We live longer, have better health, live in homes that keep us dry when it's wet, warm when it's cold and cool when it's hot. We live in a luxury that would make people like Henry VIII and Elizabeth I gasp in amazement and envy. I'm a retired, almost 70 year old man, living way below the poverty standard for my country, yet I never worry about the basic essentials of life. In fact, I'm leaving for Cancun for 10 days in a 5 Star resort this weekend and last year, I was in the Netherlands and the Dominican Republic. I'm living a life that wasn't even a dream in medieval Europe. You want to wallow in misery and envy, that's your choice. I prefer to appreciate just how lucky I am and enjoy the only life that I'll ever have. It's not always easy and the work was hard at times, but I am fully cognisant of the special times we live in. Times that so many many so cavalierly complain about and want to destroy. They have no idea what they might lead themselves into.

@willybee3056 I'm not sure what your point is but this verse isn't telling us to throw them into the sea. It's saying that they'd be better off IF we did and I agree. I'm not going to do it, though.

@td7723 You're losing your hard earned money by letting these thieves steal without consequences. The cost of items go up to cover the losses. It'll never end until we ALL say "ENOUGH!!!". In the end, you get what you deserve. Put your head in the sand...expect to get your butt kicked.

Those 2 girls are just like any high school kids that were sent to the principal's office. "It wasn't me. It's not my fault...it's their fault. This school (institution) is terrible". Except.....these girls are in college. When are they going to grow up?

@npcwill283 We already have, in the Constitution, an amendment that prevents a public agency from advocating for religion. IT'S AGAINST THE LAW. A public school is a public agency so we don't need special legislation to prevent it. It already exists in our Constitution. However, it is difficult, if not impossible, to understand human history without an academic understanding of religion and how it shaped human history. That's the academics of history, just as sex education was supposed to be a biological examination of sex as a science. It's gone WAY beyond that.

A good man immigrates to the US and did it legally. He works hard and becomes a police officer, only to be killed by an illegal immigrant, a man who shouldn't have been in the US in the first place. What an absolute disgrace and tragedy. So sad for Singh's family.

When my mother caught me with my hand in the cookie jar, I was guilty. "Proven guilty" was NEVER on the table. Moseby was caught. The rest "should" be a formality but she does have that "rich privilege" going for her. Mom never gave me any privilege, other than not pulling too hard on my ear, because normally I was "such a good boy".

@IwillNeverVoteBlueAgain Thank you so much. I sometimes feel as if I'm missing something but for the life of can't see what that could be. It's nice to hear that maybe I'm not as crazy as I sometimes think I am. Also, I fully agree with you on the racial and political bias. So much of what's being said is based along their favourite narrative and has nothing to do with specific facts.
2
@landof8 Of course it is and if it helps to expand the library, start new academic programs, bring in the best teachers.....that means nothing to the school, either. "MILLIONS OF DOLLARS!!!". It drives the resentful crazy to hear it.
2
@savagetv6460 So, that's the purpose of schools? To produce geniuses? I rather doubt it. This isn't about what it offers sports fans. It's about what it offers the students that are participating in the sport. It offers a free education, deeper life experiences, new contacts, unlimited future possibilities and a chance to develop their bodies and minds through physical exertion. That others can enjoy watching the odd game that they play is just a peripheral bonus to the school and the student athlete.

@andreperry7995 Where do think the BLM riots happened? Do you think that it was in white neighbourhoods? No and double NO!!!!! It was in the poor sections of town where minorities lived and worked. If it happened in the neighbourhoods where the city politicians and bureaucrats lived, they'd have stopped the riots FLAT. These athletes and musicians are worth hundreds of millions of dollars apiece. Some, like Michael Jordan are billionaires. Are we burning down their homes? Are we refusing to buy their records, attend basketball games because they're almost all black? The stands look awfully full to me. That burning of black owned banks happened YEARS ago. No one is burning down Oprah's studios. You're exhibiting EXACTLY what this video is talking about. BLAME others. "It's not my fault." and because you believe that, you do NOTHING. If you want to win a race, you have to run. If you don't, you'll never be a champion or a success. It doesn't matter who you are. You have to run to be a success.

@ritchierich6133 You got it. What's easier? Change the whole world or your own attitude. Neither is easy but I just don't have the power to change the world. I barely have the power to change myself but at least I have some agency in that direction. I find it incomprehensible that there are people who think that they can change the world on demand.

As far as I'm concerned, you're NOT a minority. You're an American. Period. You have Asian heritage, kinda vague but it's all I have to go on, just like I have Dutch heritage. That doesn't set me or you apart. We're both citizens of the country we live in.

Jahleel Sayers If they had bought something, they couldn't have been charged with trespassing. All they'd have to do is show that they purchased something and they're off the hook. Quite simple really and they might even be able to take Starbucks to court for discrimination. I'm sure lots of lawyers would love to take that case for them.....if it had any merit, which I strongly doubt.

Annette Cotto 1950????? I'm 70 years old and I wasn't even alive at the time. Get over it. It's all in the past. We'll never have peace if we just keep pointing fingers at each other. You may claim that it was the ancestors that created the hate but you sure are determined to keep that hate alive. I'd say that makes you no better than what they were.

@eam4279 I'm not sure what lack of personal responsibility on the right that you're talking about. Also, if your children are failing in school, it doesn't matter what the colour of their skin is. It's up to you to make sure that they get a proper education. That's YOUR responsibility....no one else's. To hide behind skin colour is an abrogation of that responsibility. It's the same with making sure that your children have a prominent father figure in their lives. That's the responsibility of BOTH parents. No one else. Your comment sounds like one that a person makes who's always looking to blame someone else for the failures in his life.
2
@eam4279 My parents lived through the invasion of the Netherlands by Nazi Germany. My mom lived on eel for months because the Nazis denied the people food. My uncle spent the entire war in a POW camp. Do you know what? THAT WAR IS OVER!!!!! Every point you made referred to things of the past. Let's talk about today. If your kid is failing school....find out why. If you're a woman, don't have sex with a man that won't be there for you. If you're a man, don't have sex with a woman that has sex for fun. It's about personal responsibility. Don't do the things that will hurt others, especially future or current children. Be better. No one can do that for you. That includes everyone.....not just black Americans.

@PhillipsMr What a childish response. I suppose it's your way of disagreeing with him. Can't find anything on topic so you try to negate his point by nitpicking. This is a serious problem and you're trivialising it by implying that the most serious problem is his misuse of the word "then". You're quite the problem solver.
2
The operative word being "most". CRT is a far left concept, the name created by a woman named Beverly Crenshaw at a meeting of Marxists. Although they say it isn't being taught in schools, the NEC voted to continue teaching, in the spirit of that ideology, even if it's against the law. Please, do not put your head in the sand. You don't need ALL the teachers indoctrinating your kids. Just a few can do more damage than you can imagine.

I know that this sounds like a conspiracy theory but it's all about Marxism. Instead of a class struggle, it's become a racial and gender struggle. Different identities but the same philosophy.

Awakening Soul There was a book in the eighties? What book? Is it a secret? Why not give the title of this book? I've googled it and I didn't find a thing about other black presidents of the US except ones that had acted in movies depicting black presidents. There doesn't seem to be a lot of people aware of these "facts" that you're saying you know about.
2
@onyxcrest6560 What I meant was that they don't care about YOU....or me or any of us peons. What happens to us is of no concern to them. As long as we're not around to disrupt their elitist lives. The only value we have is forus to do their labour for them and to boost their egos when they need to show each other how magnanimous they are. Their altruism is actually all about themselves.

@derekv8534 Exactly. This isn't Capitalism. It's crony corporatism and is as close to Fascism as it gets.

I just heard that AOC has suggested a new Party slogan for the next election. "Make America Green Again" and use the acronym "MAGA" on party clothing and hats. I think it's a wonderful idea.
2
@td7723 Yet, you should care. The same government bureaucrats that ripped you off in taxes are the same ones that are allowing the retail stuff. They're ONE AND THE SAME. They just got you for 10 grand a year in taxes and they're allowing retailers, and the regular guy, to be ripped off one consumer item at a time. You think you can hide but we're all dealing with the same ROT. For a smart guy, you really are missing the point and the problem.
2
@MatteoFitness No one said that it was girly. It was something that the kid thought, maybe he was getting older and wondered why he still liked stuffed animals, and in his unsophisticated mind that had to be the logical answer. That's why this gender stuff is so harmful. It validates a passing thought and forces a child into a declaration that the child can't back out of. This parent handled this perfectly and said "It means you're a boy that likes stuffed animals". This showed the child that there are reasons why he might like stuffed animals and allowed the child room to live his life without the pressure of declaring gender.
2
@NicerNine I don't think that he should have apologised but I'm not going to judge the guy on it, either. Neither one of us know the pressure that he was under or any of the details involved, including things that we may never know. We just don't know all the circumstances and he may have been backed into a corner which left him no choice. I'm not about to impugn his character when I don't have all the facts. I'm just a spectator, just like you are, and neither of us are even close to what all has transpired. Also, I don't judge a person on one action. It's the totality of his life that matters. On the surface, a guy like John Wayne Gacy seemed like a good guy, a clown who made children laugh and enjoy themselves. We all know that this wasn't him at all. Just like Rogan. We can believe that he did the wrong thing by apologising but we don't really know him or what transpired. So I'm not going to call him names to suit my own beliefs or way of thinking. I'm not better than he is. It's arrogant to believe that, even while I question his reason for apologising. I'm going to say that's exactly what's wrong with societal attitudes these days. We've all named ourselves the moral and ethical arbiters of the behaviours of others and we "other" them because it makes us feel superior. I'm trying my best to reject that tendency to arrogance.

I'm sure we're going to get the "cops kill blacks for no reason" arguments, somewhere in this comment section. I'm sure that there are corrupt cops, just like there are tall cops and friendly cops and quiet cops and stubborn cops. They're human and like ALL humans, each one is different in temperament and personality. However, some of us don't want to see them as individuals. They want us to see police officers as carbon copies of one another. Maybe if the MSM wasn't so quick to jump on a police officer shooting a black as a racist crime, we'd have better race relations in this country.....but they don't. When a white guy is shot by an officer, there's hardly a whisper from the MSM but a when it's a black guy, they're all over it, calling everything and everyone in sight a racist and babbling on and on about unconscious bias and systemic racism. It's MSM that's the problem in this country. They report what they think can cause controversy. Blacks being shot and the ensuing riots is a Godsend to these vultures and they fan the flames in glee. They know that making a big deal out of a police officer being shot won't cause the riots and rhetoric, so they don't mention it, except in passing. MSM has become a danger to the public. They've broken one of the basic rules of journalism. They've become the news and it's turning the people of the US against each other.....and they love it.

I'm not distracted. This is exactly what I expect from those who are behind the scenes. No logic...just a thirst for power and the need to be morally superior. She's epitomises the radical left.

That's because the fathers aren't there, in the family, to show how one is supposed to treat others, especially women. When the parents don't show respect for each other, how are the children going to learn respect? The parents, and the elders of the family, exist to be the centre of the family and should set the pattern of behaviour for their children. This is not a perfect system but it's all we've had throughout our history. When that family structure breaks down, it will almost ALWAYS turn out badly.

If anyone recognises that POS, they should post his name.

I'm going to say that BLM really don't believe that Black Lives Matter. They're using black Americans to further their own ideological agenda and the Democrats are going along with it and so are a lot of the Republicans. None of them care. This stabbing and the shootout should be national news and I'll bet that hardly anyone even knows about it or how that there have been no charges. Our media is absolutely disgusting. Our politicians are absolutely disgusting.

@kjs257incpen3 What a coincidence. LOL. I just finished telling a person of Asian heritage that he wasn't a minority but an American and that's all. I'm of Dutch heritage. Almost every American comes from somewhere else. In fact, the enemies of the Dutch were the British and Spanish, for centuries. Yet, here we are, fellow citizens of the same country and I don't care. I don't see truth through the lens of melanin. I leave that up to the small minded.

The Democrats have had the Black support for over 60 years. For 60 years, they've lived in the inner city, on welfare, sending their kids to the worst schools in the world and they STILL vote Democrat. Every time a white cop shoots a black man, it's in a Democrat city with a Democrat city council. Yet....it's ALL the fault of the Republicans, somehow. Think about this. If the city council, of these cities, have the power to defund the police, they are "the bosses" of the police department. The police department answers to them....city councils that are almost exclusively Democrat. When the police are corrupt.....IT'S THE CITY COUNCIL'S JOB TO FIX IT. The summer of riots proved that they weren't doing their jobs. Yet, Democrats get voted in again. The logic of these people just astounds me.

@jairobarrios3945 It's as if an artist, in the Netherlands, in 1750, had photographs of Middle Easterners to base their paintings on. They just painted as they saw people. It's not the big deal that some would like it to be.

Party politics. Vote your party no matter what. If they say "chop off their dicks", you agree and if you're challenged, you get emotional. You have no other choice because you MUST support the party. Kinda reminds me of the Stalin, Mao and Hitler party loyalties. The party is NEVER wrong.

@kevm3 They're teachers of their sport, no different than a teacher that teaches physics. He may teach football, hopefully that his students, football players, can go on to a lucrative career in professional sports. If not, the students will also have backup courses, to earn a degree in another field, if a football career doesn't work out.
1
@landof8 And those players can get a free education and have the experience of their lives. When it's over, doors will be opened to them in professional sports or in the fields they'd study in academia. I'd say it's great that the school can make money on their sports programs. It might lesson the tuition for ALL students. Why is it that people get so envious and resentful when they see dollar signs? "MILLIONS OF DOLLARS????" Some people react to that phrase like it was a punch in the gut.
1
@mr.terrific8037 But I'm not a athlete. I played and played and I loved sports but I just didn't have that natural ability that a couple of my buddies did. One of them went on to have a career in the NHL. When he was a kid, he put on a pair of skates and was zipping around like he'd always skated while the rest of us took years to learn how to skate properly. He was a lucky guy yet he had to work hard to get to reach that level that allowed him to have a lucrative career in sports. Part of it was a scholarship to Cornell, where he received a degree that gave him the background to go on to sports management. A lucky guy that worked hard to achieve success.
1
@wilberdebeer4696 Yet that student, who gets a FREE education, can only see cash. The student is exceedingly fortunate, receiving an education that costs MOST of us tens of thousands of dollars, that takes us YEARS to pay back, but it's still not good enough. Never happy. No gratitude. Just more "It's not fair" whining Just dangle the phrase "millions of dollars" and people lose their minds with resentment and anger. It took me 15 years to pay off my student loans yet these student athletes haven't spent a day paying back loans and you want me to feel bad for them. Not happening. Colleges also make money off research that students, like me, did while in universities. Do I get a cut of the endowments from large corporations that make use of the findings that students like me worked hard on? Not a cent. It opens doors for us and I appreciate that but because it's low profile, not a big fan base cheering me on, my work isn't deemed important by people like you.

@savagetv6460 A school can't produce intelligence. Intelligence is innate and we're all born with our own level brain power and ability. The school's job is to give that intelligence direction, to teach the skills that allow that innate intelligence to flourish within the community that the students live in. If the school isn't teaching those skills, the ability to read, write, do mathematics and to think, that's when that school is failing and too many American schools are failing and miserably. You can thank their unions for that.

@elliott9139 If my kid, at 17, was in that crowd, looting and smashing things, I'd kick his ass till tomorrow. He wouldn't have to worry about cops. His toughness stops at the end of my boot and if you think that these kids are afraid of what their parents might say, you're delusional. They laugh at their parents. No respect for their parents, the law, each other or themselves.
1
@mrwoody1413 "good parenting from the time they were born" You nailed it, right there. It starts from the minute that they were born. The average leftist believes that it's not that important but the ones that are leading this new movement know damn well how important it is. That's why they want to teach 5 and 6 year olds to keep secrets from their parents and tell them that their skin colour is the most important thing about them and to judge people on colour. They want to get to them, when they're young, so that when they're the ages of these "wilding" kids, they have no fundamental ties to the most important part of their lives. They want to destroy the family so that eventually THEY, the government, will have control over them, not the family. These radical socialists have created a belief system that is negating the roles of parents and supplanting these roles with the power of government.

That's how reasonable people perceive their relationships with their parents.
1
@toomuchdrivetothrive He called them racists. That has become one of the biggest insults in modern society. You don't get to claim some special status which would exempt you from acting like a jerk. Child/parent relationships having rocky patches are normal. Calling your parents names, on a public forum, goes beyond that, especially when one is supposed to be an adult. It's time for that 35 year old, multi-millionaire to grow up and quit his whining.

@andreperry7995 We can't change the past, whatever it was. We can't change the future either. We can only change the present. In changing the reality of now, we can, hopefully change our future for the better. It's like being married to an unfaithful wife. It's traumatic, painful and you lose a large piece of yourself. You can withdraw, refuse any more interactions that would lead you back to a married relationship or you can try again, learning from the first interaction and avoiding the pitfalls that brought you to today. You're using the past to avoid changing the present. To you, it sounds as if you believe that since the past happened, change is impossible and avoiding pitfalls, even those that aren't your fault, can't be done. Like I said, if you don't run, you'll never find success in a race. Just because you lost the last race because someone tripped you, you don't quit racing. You run again, aware of the fact that the unfair does happen, and avoiding the unfair as much as possible. The past is irrelevant because it's out of your control. Don't use it to hobble the now and, by proxy, your future. It can only bring more of the past and you certainly don't want that.

Trans athletes CAN compete. Leah Thomas, a biological male, competed with biological males for 3 years in collegiate sports. He was ranked 462nd among collegiate men. He could have competed in his 4th year, with biological males, as a transgender and might have even improved that ranking but he'd NEVER have set records. He could only do that by competing against collegiate, biological women. It's incredible that there are women that are supporting biological men taking BACK the rights that were given to women in the first place.

That young guy just made a strong point about making wise decisions and that young girl asks why is it the woman had to move away to escape an abusive relationship. She wants to know why the man wasn't taught not to be abusive? What does it matter? You know that abusive people exist. Why weren't YOU taught that your choices will strongly affect how your life turns out? That you should be careful and choosy about who you choose as a partner? Why wasn't she taught that?

JOY......criticising the press is NOT going against the freedom of the press. We're allowed to criticise. NOW....if you can come up with a time in which Trump wanted to do AWAY with press that was giving him a hard time, THEN you'd have a reason to say that he was assaulting the freedom of the press. All you have now is your anger at being criticised. And yes....if you lie and you KNOW that you're lying, then you ARE the enemy of the people. You're the enemy of all of us. Also, if you hate Trump so much, why are you allowing him to set behavioural standards. If it's wrong for Trump....it's wrong for Biden. That goes for Whoopi, as well. Why would you use a person that you hate as your measuring stick? It's ridiculous.

David Hutchins It's nice that they've apologised for the role of the African Kingdoms but I don't see it as necessary. It wasn't them. It was their ancestors. Not one of us should be held accountable for what our ancestors did because there isn't a person on the planet that doesn't have ancestors that have taken part in deplorable acts. My parents lived through the war in the Netherlands. My mother didn't have a father and was exceptionally poor as a child. She, along with her family, almost starved to death because of the actions of the Nazis. In the sixties and seventies, I worked with guys who were in the military in Germany, as Gestapo and military grunts. I had friends whose fathers fought in Holland in the German military. I don't expect an apology from them. Part of the healing process isn't just feeling remorse. It's also forgiveness. Unless those two qualities don't manifest themselves, the pain will never go away. Forgiveness is just as important as the apology and depending on the person, maybe even more important.
1
David Hutchins I fully understand how those African kingdoms had been involved in the slave trade long before the trans-Atlantic slave trade. My point is that it's nice that the modern African apologises but that modern guy is no more responsible than I am or you. History is complex. It's better to acknowledge that it happened and move on. Too many people these days want to lay blame. That can be an exceedingly destructive human trait. Blame has a habit of morphing into retribution and that has been catastrophic in history. That's my point. In a way, it's just an extension of what you're saying. The slave trade, in history, is complex and it's too simplistic to just point fingers and yell "GUILTY!!!"

@DreamFactories He was talking about the NFL owners. He likened them to slave owners and I'm not sure why. The players are part of a players union in which they negotiate with the owners to give them a stake in the success of the league. Each player can sign a personal contract with the team if they want or not sign it. They can sign with any team they like after they've been in the league for a fixed amount of years. They can leave the league any time they want and do whatever you want. A team owner may not like an exceptional player to leave but there is absolutely nothing he can do about it. To even begin to compare those owners to the real slave owners of colonial America is a slap in the face to the real slaves of that era. The players union can bring those owners to their knees and even bankrupt some of those owners if they put their mind to it....but they won't. The players aren't that stupid. They know that for them to have success the owners must have success. Notice, he didn't say that about the NBA owners. LeBron knows the reason for his own success and isn't so stupid as to not be appreciative of it.

@adlucem9845 Well done. I would like to add something that's a little different. All the minority neighbourhoods that were destroyed by the BLM riots. You didn't see the homes of the elites destroyed and the minute that they were threatened, suddenly the police and National Guard went into action. Thanks for that list. I've a mind to copy it so that I use it to show the BLM apologists in other conversations. I hope you don't mind.
1
The law states that you have to buy something or leave. I know. I've told people to leave for that reason. It is a misdemeanour and you can be evicted from the premises and charged with trespassing. It is against the law. It doesn't matter who you are. It's a very simple concept.

@ronaldpitts8419 They disagree with that moniker only to hide their true intentions. They know that Marxism carries a bad connotation with it, so they pretend that they're really just for social justice. It's a smoke screen.

I've been saying that BLM was a fraudulent organisation since the summer of 2020. Boy have I gotten the flak for it. However, I'm too big to say "I told you so". I'll let them tell me that they should have listened.

@benedicthamlin1137 The Democrats are supporting this craziness. When Ron DeSantis passed a law that forbids the teaching of sex-ed in Kindergarten through grade 3, it was the Democrats that called it the "Don't say gay" bill. It was flat out lie. It had to do with ALL sexually charged conversations. It was Democrats that supported all the "peaceful" BLM riots. Only the wilfully blind can deny this.

@aaryan_B055 That's why I said that they want the equal right to act in a manner that lacks integrity. Integrity implies a sense of self worth. No integrity implies the opposite, that there is no self worth and a lack of shame. It also shows how little they think of others. People of integrity would be embarrassed to take that kind of advantage.

@williammunny9916 That's all well and good but how's that going to clean up that mess in California? We are talking about a real problem and you're quoting scripture. No wonder people think that Christians are a little whacked. Try living a good life and thereby showing how a Christian strives to be the best that they can be. Instead, you remind me of a Pharisee, loudly quoting scripture so we can all see just how righteous you are. Get off the soapbox and show a little humility.

@nerzhul5022 Yeah....because "science" is God, right. No one has EVER made a scientific pronouncement to find out later that they were wrong. Science is infallible. That's as stupid and naive as it gets.

Sorry Sunny. You're wrong on every count here. Jesus would tell us to love our fellow human beings, including gay people, but he'd NEVER join, let alone lead, a gay pride parade. He spoke out loudly against the sins of pride and that right there would be enough for him to pass on the pride parade.

@thelastcommenter7154 Funny how you don't say a word about WHAT I said and actually try to steer away from it. I already told you that there was a slave trade. It had to exist or what the hell was the abolitionist movement all about? Why fight the Civil War, to end slavery, if there were no slaves? It's illogical. My question still stands. Why would the Republicans suppress knowledge about slavery and Jim Crow, when that knowledge makes the Democrats look bad? Answer the question that I posed.

@thelastcommenter7154 I posed it because there is one side claiming that the other side is trying to cover up the fact of slavery in human history. They are accusing the Republicans of this coverup. I gave you the history of the Republicans and wondered why the Republicans would cover up a history that makes the Democrats look bad and Republicans look good. I don't know when the first slave ship came to the land which would one day become America. I know that there was a first because there were lots of slave ships that did come. It's a silly detail that is irrelevant to the big picture. However, I'm going to guess that it was in 1619 and it landed in Virginia. However, it's not even close to the first slave ship to the New World. Slaves have been coming to the Caribbean and Brazil for over a century before that. If you want to go back further than that, there's been a slave trade all over the world for thousands of years. It's NOT an American invention. Spartacus led a slave rebellion 2100 years ago. Europe didn't even know that America existed back then. I'm not even sure what your point is.

@thelastcommenter7154 I never ONCE said CRT is fake. What I asked was why would the party, that fought against slavery and Jim Crow, want to cover up the details of slavery. That's the claim that proponents of CRT are claiming. "They are suppressing CRT because they want to hide the reality of slavery". Why would a party, that formed with the mandate of abolishing slavery, want to hide that slavery existed? It's illogical. Also, you never corrected anything. Not one fact or detail was given that could be used as a correcting point. People bog themselves down in details and forget the big picture. Also, I didn't google it. I guessed that year because I'd heard of the 1619 Project. I used common sense NOT Google. It seems rather disingenuous to claim that slavery and CRT could only be applied to America, when slave trades have been in existence for centuries. The African slave trade also took place in the Caribbean, South America, Europe and in the Middle East. Yet, you're only going to apply it to the US? Strange thing is, the US is the ONLY country that fought a Civil war, that killed and maimed hundreds of thousands of it's own citizens and which brought to an end slavery in that country. That's also a part of history. The ones that brought the African slave trade (native Americans practised slavery too) to America, did so because of a history of slavery that went back thousands of years. In other words, it was nothing new OR unique to America. Also, it still doesn't answer why the Republicans would want to cover up their part in ending the African slave trade.

@jggrimm Well, I have to be honest. The truth does hurt, doesn't it? I can't blame you for that. Why hurt yourself on purpose? That would be dumb.....and you're not dumb are you.

@Undomaranel He's loud? I never heard him even raise his voice. He's extremist? A man is not a woman.....that's an extreme idea? No one would have thought differently 20 years ago. 2 plus 2 equals 4 is NOT an opinion. It's a fact. A man cannot get pregnant isn't an opinion. It's a fact and it's at the very heart of evolutionary science. He went after you for wearing a costume, huh. Nice try. Your little anecdote means nothing. Especially from someone that use a fake name. Nothing credible about your response.

White empathy has resulted in self flagellation. She hates herself for her skin colour and she's encouraging others to hate her for that very reason. She's advocating for racism. Plus.....she's a nut.

Typical progressive nonsense. He's quite willing to mock it but actually talk about what's IN the Constitution that bothers him, he doesn't do that. They didn't consult him and that's enough. Either the Constitution has worth based on what's written in it or it doesn't. That's what's at issue. That "expert" can't even address that simple idea. What's worse, he has no idea what human rights are about. He's not even bright enough to understand that he's taking away the rights of the people. Thankfully, they're not going to let him anywhere NEAR that document.

That only applies to black Americans. Kyle is white and definitely a "white supremacist". Rules are a lot more stringent for "white" folk. That's how equity works.

@frostyfire3102 What is BS? That the media goes a lot easier on Black Americans? Is that BS? That had this been a black guy killing a white guy, we wouldn't even be hearing about it? Is that BS? There are dozens of blacks being murdered, everyday, all across the US, by other blacks and not a word from the media. They just don't care. However, if it involves one of the so called "white supremacists" which is the first thing that they called Kyle, they'll say and do anything to vilify the guy, no matter the circumstances. So....explain what in my comment was BS.

@npcwill283 That's right. Kids don't understand the world. That's why adults shouldn't be taking advantage of their lack of knowledge for their own carnal pleasures. You'd think that it would be self evident but apparently not if you're that selfish to insist that you deserve to use them in a sexual manner.

@NicerNine What possible reason that there could be that he had to apologise? I don't know. That's my point. We think that we know it all but that's impossible. We just don't know all the back room stuff that's going on. We're dealing with the most heinous and ruthless human beings that there exist. Anything is possible and I will hold my opinion in abeyance until I have ALL the information, not just the surface stuff that we're allowed to see. Do you get what I'm saying? What we're ALLOWED to see. I will not be manipulated by their machinations. It's a game that I refuse to play.
