Our nation's Chief leader is "normalizing racial" (CNN) slurs. This is horrible and sickening to hear and digesting. Sadly, we are being governed and represented by such a being, who fails to realize that he lives in a world that is dismissing, or actively trying to dismiss, the dividing lines that separates cultures, globally!
In addition to this, let me address another theme I heard in this clip: ABC is saying something like now you've gone to far. To better address this theory, here is what must be said: this rude behavior is not an "enough is enough" issue nor a "you can't get away with this anymore" stance. Instead, how about if we adapt this stance: STOP IT! We do not accept your bias rude attitude so if you don't like the multi-racial republic we are, here in America, get (the ....) out!!! You want a one race nation, fine, see ya! You ain't gonna find it here! But suggest to the xenophobic(s), I am sure the great white north, as in remote Canada, Russia, or Finland, has enough room for you and your fellow one-race comrades! Therefore, good bye and good riddance!!! ✌️🤛 and EXIT: 👉

Oh my gosh! This comment is long. Sorry.
Ugh!!! I lived through this mess in real time! I remember the Bronco chase and how our shows were pre-emptied. Really, when that happened, viewers that watched ABC’s 20/20 witnessed the ABC anchorman, Peter Jennings, verbally STIFLE the Queen of televised news herself, Barbara Walter’s, like, LIVE on the air. Wow! That act alone sent shockwaves across the airwaves. So, after all of that drama, I have been hesitant to watch ANYTHING about this case for many many years.
Before I vent, let me first say, I am a person of color. However, I was NOT in favor of the accused man at all.
Here’s why:
The man surrounded himself with a limited number of persons of color. He had surgery to thin his ethnically plump lips. He divorced his wife, first or second, who was (is) the mother of his children and she was (is) a woman of color. Why did he divorce himself from her? Oh, so that he was free to enter into relations with caucasian women…only. Find old footage. Hey, I watched the man play football in real time and NOT on highlight reels. And once he jumped for the Hertz commercials, the man jumped right out of the dark skinned people’s social pool, in my opinion. Really.
Yet, for some unbeknownst to me reason, during his trial, he was suddenly elevated as THE Black man of the century! And honestly, once that become the central focus of the trial, I never watched the trial…EVER…despite it being ‘streamed’ EVERYWHERE, like, EVERY…WHERE; remember, this was longggggg before the live-stream era! So, as I rant, again I say, I never agreed with the defense’s strategy. Hey, here’s what the defense team did, do you remember the slogan from the Russell Crow Gladiator movie: win the people. Yup! That is exactly what the defense team did!
Hey, the team put racial conflict on trial and NOT the murders, in my opinion. So, basically, the defense team simply stirred the emotions in an emotional hot-bed city, especially when discussing White officer’s racial bias towards Black people, let alone Black Men! If I am not mistaken, didn’t the trial occur after 1992…in LA…??? Need I say anymore about racial tension between White officers and Black men…Rodney King??? Right.
But most of all, and above all of the listed issues, I could not stand how Los Angeles turned the brutal deaths of two people into a money-making theatrical cesspool!!! Absolutely HORRIBLE!
After venting those concealed thoughts, I will probably not watch this mess. There are better things to focus on than that same old horrible racial narrative. Let’s move on.❤

He said if he knew anything about his brother's son's actions of being "brainwashed" or radicalized, he would "be the first to report him." Well, he then goes on to say in 2009 his nephew's words bothered him and they seemed more radical by saying "I will do Allah's will," and he then called him, the uncle, an "infidel," well, why did he not report him? This is a complete contradiction. He is mentioning his nephew's association with a "radical mentor," so why did he not call the authorities? Also, he stated he had to return to America after having to do something overseas. Where was he and why was the trip necessary, but he is unable to share where he was and what he was doing? If it were a normal business trip why not say he was in "this country doing this;" why such secrecy? Now he says even the mother was turning more radical, but did he report her? Interesting.

FYI: I am watching a People Magazine Investigates episode called “The Freeway Phantom” (Season 4 Episode 4), the retelling of Washington DC’s possible first serial killer who snatched and killed young Black American girls. While watching it, something intriguing caught my attention and caused worry.
In that 1970s DC case, once the FBI finally took steps to help the local police find that city’s child murderer, who was murdering Black American girls in the early 1970s in the Washington DC area, they discovered “one green thread that was located on every victim…probably from the carpet of an automobile” (25:58 - 26:32 minute marker) during ‘their,’ the FBI’s, close examination of things that were possibly “looked over” (25:50 - 26:00 minute marker) by the local DC authorities in that child murderer’s case. The “green synthetic fiber” narrative is described nearly verbatim in both child abduction cases, and this is especially noticed in the People Magazine Investigate’s episode along with other stories about this case: i.e., CNN’s How it Really Happened: The Atlanta Serial Killer: Do You Know Where Your Children Are? Part 1 - 2 (“How It Really Happened” Season 5 Episode 1-2).
Well, if you remember, the same “green thread” evidence was found during the FBI’s investigation into this Atlanta Child Murders case, once their, the FBI’s, forensic team of experts conducted the examination of the Atlanta Child Murder’s victim’s evidence in that case, which were possibly overlooked by Atlanta’s local authorities. And remember, the “green thread” evidence in this case helped to break the Atlanta’s child murderer’s case and led to that city’s killer’s arrest.
Understand this, I don’t doubt the charged man, Wayne, might be linked. However, I find it extremely disturbing to hear that a “green thread” was found on the victims in both serial killer’s cases in the two serial killer cases involving abducted Black American children in two heavily populated Black American communities. Remember, once the thread was discovered, the case was soon shifted from investigating more suspects in an effort of gaining a resolution, to the case’s attention shifting to the FBI’s ability to ‘crack’ the case. Sadly, in the Washington DC case, the killer was never apprehended. But the Atlanta case was solved. Why? Discovered green thread.🤔JustAThought.

He probably did not display ANY schizophrenic behavior patterns in elementary school. I would think the stress of the neuroscience studies he encountered, possibly living alone in Colorado without normal support, and the fact that he had a mental illness which becomes evident in the early to mid-twenties all contributed to his actions. The sad thing is a schizo 'outbreak,' so to speak, can run its course and some folks can make it to the other side of the outbreak, if they do not harm themselves or others. However, in this case, his outbreak caused horrid damage to others. A prime example of my comment is found in the late Great John Nash, one of only a few people who survived his schizo episode without harming, physically, himself or others; he went on to live a great productive life after his nearly fifteen year 'outbreak.'

Come on! I lived in Nashville for twenty years and that city was a beautiful city with a lot of peace. Now they are developing the city, destroying the old lasting aspects of maintaining relations with others and holding on to a lasting faith in God, and chasing the almighty dollar by building and building a cosmopolitan city. Therefore, the evidence in such an advancement stirs strife, coveting, competition, and in many cases violence becomes a norm as it is found in every other overcrowded city. So, Nashville officials, you have created this metropolis, thus, now you must deal with the typical aspects of a modern capitalist society. Sad.

Kevin S. It is a sad situation. Racial bias, cultural condemnation, and grown (immigrant) offspring (Trump: ask thyself where DID my parents come from?), these people are commonly called "adults;" however, their childish bander is being generated by using a social, one hundred and forty something character, site to unleash rude slurs towards other ethnic groups; and, in Roseanne's case, this woman has even come against her own people. Such behavior is childish and simply must be thoroughly rejected as a norm. Seriously, if schools come against bullies who practice this form of aggression than we, as a society, must come together and put an end to such acts.

Robert Teixeira: The New York Times May 28, 2018 "After Racist Tweet, Roseanne Barr’s Show Is Canceled by ABC" article excerpt:
As viewers flocked to “Roseanne,” Ms. Barr returned to Twitter. One of Ms. Barr’s messages accused a survivor of the high school shooting in Parkland, Fla., of giving a Nazi salute; another involved a conspiracy theory about Mr. Trump quietly breaking up a child sex trafficking ring including prominent Democrats. “You can’t control Roseanne Barr,” Mr. Sherwood said in an interview with The New York Times in March, when asked about her Twitter account. “Many who have tried have failed.”
But there were other sources of controversy.
The revival’s third episode featured a joke about two ABC comedies with diverse casts, “black-ish” and “Fresh Off the Boat.” Ms. Barr’s character and her husband, Dan, played by John Goodman, wake up on the their living room couch, having fallen asleep in front of the television. “We missed all the shows about black and Asian families,” Dan Conner said. To laughter from the show’s studio audience, Roseanne Conner responded, “They’re just like us. There, now you’re all caught up.”

Here's an added interesting fact. It seems our illegal immigration issue seems to focus the most on our southwest boarder.
However, according to a Pew Research report, "Mexicans may no longer be the majority of U.S. unauthorized immigrants. They made up half of all unauthorized immigrants in 2016, according to the Center’s preliminary estimate, marking the first time in at least a decade that they did not account for a clear majority of this population. Their numbers (and share of the total) have been declining in recent years: There were 5.6 million Mexican unauthorized immigrants living in the U.S. in 2015 and 2016, down from 6.4 million in 2009. Meanwhile, the number of unauthorized immigrants from nations other than Mexico has grown since 2009, from 5 million that year to 5.4 million in 2015. Non-Mexicans numbered 5.7 million in the preliminary 2016 estimate, a total that was not statistically different from 2015. From 2009 to 2015, the number of unauthorized immigrants from Asia and Central America rose. Increases in the number from other countries have mostly offset the decline in the number from Mexico (and a relatively small decrease in the number from South America)" (Pew Research 10.3.16).
Based on a 2016 article by a Newsweek affiliate, Latin Times report, this reality has been an issue commonly overlooked when discussing the illegal immigrant:
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) now estimates 93,000 Canadian overstays, more than double the amount of Mexican overstays (42,000) and about the same as the combined total of South America America (Cedar Attanasi: 2018 Newsweek Media Group).
So why such a disparity? Probably because "Canadians have a higher median income, are less likely to live in poverty, and are more likely to have health insurance and to be college educated. They are significantly older, on average, than the overall immigrant and U.S.-born populations" as Elijah Alperin and Jeanne Batalova reported in a 2018 article for the Migration Policy Institute (6.7.2018). Yet, according to the same article, "In 2017, Canadians living abroad, whether in the United States or other country, sent approximately US $1.3 billion in remittances...[a sum of money sent, especially by mail, in payment for goods or services or as a gift (Google)]
to Canada via formal channels, according to World Bank data" (Migration Policy Institute 6.7.2018).
So, let's check our policies based on the treatment ALL illegal immigrants must be subjected to so that we can truly justify the treatment addressed in this post. Thus, here's my question: is this treatment practiced on our northern boarders, as well, to PROTECT our society?
P. S. Here's the reality, who has been hiring and reaping a fat tax-free/reduced income benefits based on employing these so-called illegals??? Who is the TRUE illegal in this reality???
