  1. I see. So in Rush Limbaugh’s version of Thanksgiving, the Pilgrims prospered by defaulting on their loans and defrauding their investors, and they gave thanks for that. At least, that’s what Rush Limbaugh said.
  2. Whether somebody agrees or disagrees with your OPINIONS is not a measure of intelligence. Clarence Thomas spent over twenty years on the SCOTUS without ever speaking once. He could not think of one single unique question in 20 years. Intelligent?
  3. Americans started the slave trade in America. Although who started it is irrelevant; slavery continued in America until 1863~65 and save age institutionalized racism came after that.
  4. I don’t think that’s the issue. The issue is that we continue to have racism and social inequality today, as a consequence of slavery and the racist legal systems which followed. We don’t have a color-blind society, and so we should address the sins of today.
  5. Well, jackass, the Colonists did start America’s slave trade. Before there was a United States, America was a collection of British colonies and the British subjects who lived here were called COLONISTS. Once the Revolutionary War ended, we were no longer colonies, and the colonists became American citizens.
  6. So f-ing what? What on Earth is your point?
  7. And Americans actually did enslave millions of black people.
  8. So what? Cain killed Abel, so it’s ok to murder people?
  9. The US Constitution institutionalized slavery right here: Article 1, Section 2, Clause 3; ”Representatives and direct Taxes shall be apportioned among the several States which may be included within this Union, according to their respective Numbers, which shall be determined by adding to the whole Number of free Persons, including those bound to Service for a Term of Years, and excluding Indians not taxed, three fifths of all other Persons. ” Article 4, Section 2: ”No Person held to Service or Labour in one State, under the Laws thereof, escaping into another, shall, in Consequence of any Law or Regulation therein, be discharged from such Service or Labour, but shall be delivered up on Claim of the Party to whom such Service or Labour may be due.”
  10. It is not the slave’s fault for being enslaved. It is the fault of the perpetrators. The US Constitution legally institutionalized slavery in America. This was a terrible sin. You are a racist and you’re trying to inflame.
  11. You don’t know what a fact is, do you?
  12. You are a racist. Just my personal opinion of course. You whine about communism and then complain about decisions made by capitalists. The capitalist spends shareholder money for the purpose of making more money. Period. If more black people in ads makes more money, the capitalist is obligated to do it, no matter how much racists like you don’t like it.
  13. The native Americans knew the land and how to live off of it, so it was far more difficult to enslave them.
  14. Donald Trump called and said your pants are on fire. And surely they are, because Trump said so.
  15. Republicans did not win the popular vote. They won some and lost others
  16. Not at all. The Democrats don’t worship at the feet of Joe Biden. Like I keep saying, when laws are broken, there should be prosecution, and the outcome should be the same for the poorest and wealthiest people.
  17. I don’t care. They can investigate Hunter Biden as much as they want, and if he broke laws, he can go to prison. Why should that matter to me? But you won’t say the same thing. If Jared broke the law, you want the investigation stopped. You at the Supreme Court to intervene. You want him pardoned. It’s bizarre. Jared Kushner never did anything for you. Ginny Thomas directly sold government influence; the only influence she has is with her husband, obviously. But you don’t care about that either. It’s bizarre. You want to support criminals if they’re on “your side,” which makes your side the “criminal side.”
  18. But the whole “Saudi Arabia gave Jared $2 billion” thing is just fine with you, right? Cause Jared was a government employee himself, and a Mideast envoy as well. No quid pro quo in that $2 billion?
  19. You are so full of racist sh!t. You truly disgust me. Blaming black people for slavery is sickening, and you need a psychiatrist to help you deal with whatever’s chewing you up inside. 100% of the slave trade involved white invaders capturing and buying slaves and taking them away. White people built the ships, white people loaded them, white people enslaved them.
  20. Oh? My mistake. As a supporter of Israel, I agree with her about 50% on the subject. I think those who say that Israel should not exist are irrational; it cannot go away. On the other hand, Israel is not above reproach and criticism. They have been walking away from the direction of bringing the conflict to an end. I disagree with that.
  21. Fact: Once the rioting began, that piece of dog sh!t sat in the White House and refused to do anything to stop it. He didn't Tweet to his fans. He didn't call the Army. He didn't call the National Guard. It's very obvious: Trump was hoping the riot would succeed and he had no intention of stopping it. And, he did nothing until it was obvious that it had failed.
  22. Not surprising that she dislikes Israel; she's Palestinian. I am a strong supporter of Israel, but I also believe that Israel needs to create a pathway towards an eventual two-state solution. The current state of affairs is inhumane and not a long-term solution at all.
  23. Well… when the “journalist” who created the video has been CONVICTED OF FELONIES for creating his “journalism,” then his work is pretty questionable. Trust is earned in drops and lost in buckets. This guy might be telling you what you want to hear, but how can you trust that it’s true? If it is true, the person is confessing to crimes, so why wasn’t he prosecuted? And where’s the proof that he’s related to he congresswoman?
  24. Journalism is REPORTING the news. “This happened” ”That happened” A journalist does not create news. O’Keefe clearly is not a journalist by any means. He lies and breaks laws to create the story he wants.
  25. So… you’re just going to be full of sh!t and make up crazy things. “Reason” my butt.
