  17.  @phill7507  . . . maybe your situation is a little unique in that you were in the military. I'm just wondering though, even if you keep in touch with your friends from the military, did you and those friends find yourselves as you got older associating more and more with members of your own race? That seems to be common as people age. Also, there is a certain % of people that can bridge the racial divide, but most can't. And differences in individual traits can be overlooked by common courtesy, manners, more in common than less, same interests, upbringing, etc. But that changes when larger groups come into play. We've all seen it. A "friend of color" that seems to change ever so slightly when they are around larger groups of people from their "tribe". Some do it out of courtesy to their own tribe, and others do it because that is who they are and they truly feel more comfortable around others of their own race. The Group Identity eventually trumps the traits of the individual. I consider Candace Owens a person that has no problem being around white people as her own qualities and characteristics seem to be aligned more with white people. If you listen to what many black people tell you, you'll hear them admit they are different. "Capitalism is a white persons system" , and many other examples. Did you ever think that maybe they're right or telling the truth? Hence the reason why black Conservatives can more easily associate with white people. The don't seem to have a chip on their shoulder. I have a Mexican friend (I guess we call them Hispanics now) from high school. He almost exclusively hung out with white friends. And we had a decent % of Mexicans in our school. We all got along, but most of the Mexicans tended to be more social and friends with other Mexicans. Except our one Mexican friend. He almost strictly hung out with his white friends. He was in the military also for 20+ years. Just moved into my neighborhood about 5 years ago after retiring from the military. Saw him last night actually. Trying to plan a golf/fishing getaway weekend with our friends. First you need to figure out who "the media" is and all the problems some of them seem to cause. Plus, if there were no inherent differences and race was truly just a color, the media wouldn't try to divide us by race. But they know race is a big factor in a persons identity so they can divide us. But beyond that, the world has always tended to self-segregate by race and ethnicity. Our cities self-segregate, neighborhoods, churches, etc. Even in many large European cities they have distinct racial neighborhoods. Please name a multiracial society that has successfully integrated for any extended period of time? Some say the Roman Empire was a good example, but in reality the Roman Empire was an Empire of many distinct nations. You can read up on that if you want. Also, if a multiracial society can work and is so great, why is it that no "countries of color" seem to partake in this experiment? If you look at the citizenship and immigration laws of other countries of color, you'll find that many of their laws directly and indirectly are structured to keep their racial majority the same. Such as, "you can become a citizen of X country if your grandparents are from X country and that they have lived there for 10 or more years". If diversity and multiculturalism is so great why aren't so many other countries of color participating. Think about this. If diversity is a strength, why hasn't it just happened naturally. Why are we still arguing about race? It seems that if we value diversity, we wouldn't be pushing to have all these different races live/mix together as it will lead to less diversity. Gotta go.

  19.  @remyn.9198  . . . Agree. . . Social Security and Medicare are not entitlement programs. Social Security is not Constitutional. It is theft. In order for it to have been ruled Constitutional it was ruled as an excise tax. Go look into the history of Social Security. Anyway, technically you have no right to that money. If the Government really wanted to it could tell every Social Security beneficiary and payor to pound sand. Why would the US have paid family leave? Save your own money to pay for your own family leave. Just think, if the Federal/State government didn't tax everyone so much you could actually save $. Prior to 1917 (check my year) there was no Federal Income tax. Universal Healthcare? Really. Buy your own health insurance/care. We should never went down the road of "employer provided" insurance. (See paid family leave) Education is funded to the max. We actually should reduce educational funding, reduce/eliminate many certifications and license requirement, etc. College has become a joke. Most careers don't need a useless college education. Most people learn by doing things and those that can learn well from sitting in a classroom aren't usually good at doing anything. Maybe if we create more laws and regulations on "corporations" and raise their taxes things will get better. Can you hear my sarcasm? Did you ever just think that those corporations like more laws and regulations as it creates less competition? Why do you think Facebook is petitioning the Federal Government to regulate them? Because it will limit the upcoming competition they might get down the road. Wake up and get a clue.

  36.  @ldiggs9072  . . . are you sure it oozes ignorance? So what about Hungarian, Irish, German, Polish, etc. Americans who's ancestors never owned slaves, never displaced Native Indigenous tribes of the Americas, and even after they emigrated here in the late 1800's/early 1900's went to war in WWI and WWII against their own relatives? You do realize it was the English, French, and Spanish that colonized the Americas right? I also mention that "if" they decide to take reparations that they have a "choice" of either repatriation to Africa OR land can be sectioned off here in the United States. See. . .it's a choice. And what about Chinese Americans? Do Americans deserve an apology from them for the bombing Pearl Harbor? After all. . .they're Asians too. And what about the 11,000 Germans that were put into concentration camps during WWII? Do they deserve reparations like the Japanese received? And what about Hispanics that have Spanish ancestry? AOC has stated her ancestors are from Spain. Is she and many other countries with Spanish heritage going to "chip in" for reparations for their colonizing/slavery history? And if people with European ancestry are to repatriate to Europe can we force those "Europeans" that have mixed ancestry from "countries of color" to go back to their countries of origin? Actually, I think I might be willing to go back to Europe. But any of those "Europeans" that have blood from other "people of color" need to leave immediately. And when did the United States become systemically racist? Was it during the Civil War? Was it during WWII (fighting a war against the "supposed" biggest "racist" of them all), Was it during the Civil Rights Act? Is systemic racism prevalent in the NBA/NFL? Why not? Does evolution only work from the Neck down? I have plenty more of example of how you see everything from an anti-white perspective.
