So.. again, you are arguing Biden let Russia invade Ukraine because he was afraid of the politics of it if he stopped them?

Well, that is the point I am getting at here though... white people are in fact being denied equal treatment. You do not need a "Black History Month" to have more focus on ensuring there is history of all people and if you are going to say having a "Black History Month" is OK, then so to should a "White History Month" be OK. Etc...etc... Except, they are in fact saying they are proud to be black. White people should be just as able to be proud of themselves and their color, who they are, as anyone else is.

How so? How am I the problem and what is this problem?

I know the difference between someone being honest and someone just jerking me around. I gave you the data to back up my claim. You are more than welcome to contact COGAT and ask them for their raw numbers. What you are doing is ignoring them posting that they counted X amount of aid, because you want to see their excel spreadsheets. That is fine, if you want to do that... but it doesn't discount anything or negate the data they are providing. Or the obvious truth to it as they show pictures and evidence almost daily.

I did not lie about anything. I asked a rhetorical question based on what you said. Your response to me was that Biden should not have done anything to help prevent Russia from invading because it would not play out well politically for him. I did not say "token" arms shipments either. If your argument is that arms shipments won't stop Putin, so you think we should stop helping them now too?

You are conflating an awful lot of things here. "community" / "consensus" / "unanimity" / "entire scientific community" Um, at the heart of all of this is the logical fallacy of argument from authority. That aside, what there is, is a very tiny segment of the "entire scientific community", that specializes in so-called climate science and out of all the papers written on the subject, if you review them generally speaking, you find a consensus regarding climate change being real, generally speaking. Thats it. There is no near unanimous consent among all scientists as if every astro physicist or Nuclear Engineer agrees... Hell, among so called claimed scientists, there is no consensus on how bad climate change is, what should be done about it, how much humans contribute, what humans can realistically do to stop it... etc... You boil this down, what you have is a general understanding that climate is changing, it appears to be slightly increasing and is on pace to continue to do so... and humans contribute some part to that. It pretty much ends right there.

So... we should not have worked to create Israel because it would make the Jew hating Arabs uber mad? What next, it is plain to see why Jews were wrong to exist in Germany and it is really all their fault Hitler rounded them up to kill them?

None of us will be around to look forward to any of that. What we can look forward to now is the destruction of Hamas and Israel occupation that will lead to the start to an eventual reversal of a generation of brainwashing Hamas put on their people and children. You support this of course? Right? Or do you want Hamas to live on so they can keep attacking Israel and brainwashing their kids to hate Jews?

I did prove what I said, then you pretended like you could not understand the source. No stall tactic at all, just not interested in dumb games like yours. Here are some more pretty pictures for you to pretend like you can't figure out:

I can't help you. I am not in the business of spoon-feeding someone who should be a grown adult fully capable of having a shred of intellectual integrity to look at what I shared here and grasp on their own where this data comes from and that they have been posting evidence about it basically daily since the outset of the war. Instead, you tried to act like what I said about aid was false and then feigned doubt over my source. I can only speak to what your comments here allude to... which is that through your comments and actions in liking posts, you certainly seem to favor Hamas here over Israel. You like comments calling this genocide, you say Israel is going too far, which is a defacto support for Hamas living on... You tell me. You want Hamas to survive and Israel to stop the war? Or... should Hamas surrender?

So, I ask you to criticize Hamas, and you turn it into attacking Israel even more again. This is so comically sad. Do you even realize how incapable you are of just criticizing Hamas? If the real root cause is Iran, China, and Russia, why do you keep criticizing Israel? And... its a pretty lame excuse to let terrorists live and continue to kill you, because if you stop them more terrorists will be created. That makes no sense. At all.

LOL, as usual, I always bring the receipts while you folks play this disingenuous game. Are you really this unaware of the amount of aid efforts going on right now?

There are multiple entry points of aid into Gaza every day, all day, day after day. You cite a protest that Israeli forces break up as they have in the past as evidence of what? Well, of course they do, when they can't prove out the allegation yet. Where are all these starving people? Oh, can't find them. Meanwhile, more and more aid is pouring into Gaza day after day...

So, you are saying Biden let Russia invade Ukraine to play politics? Um, OK. That is a pretty awful position.

This is a pretty tired schtick you have here. From Biden trying to force COVID vaccines on almost everyone in the country, his push to cancel student loans, his attempt to violate the First Amendment with his censorship schemes, how he is abusing the DOJ to go after political rivals...

2+ years into the war. Ah, yes, leading the way! If Biden were leading the way, he would have been deploying more US arms into Ukraine BEFORE Russia invaded.

Yes, I did. Here you are again: "No, at least 1/3 of those are Hamas militants killed in a war. The rest are the tragic collateral damage from killing that 1/3 because Hamas is fighting from among their people and, instead of helping to keep their people safe, they willingly endanger them just so they can get folks like you to play the stupid games you are doing right now. " And yet, you are repeatedly focused on Israel in this thread. It is only when I push you to criticize Hamas you deflect to Iran, Russia, and China. If that is the real root cause you are focused on, lets see you spend your time actually focused on them instead of blaming Israel and criticizing them as you are doing. Then we support the quick and decisive destruction of the terrorist thugs doing it... Hamas.

You are choosing to read into it more than is meant. I merely offered you the meaning behind the phrase. The phrase isn't meant to pretend your skin color doesn't exist. I am curious: do you cringe or take issue if a white person says they are proud to be white? What do you mean, your culture? Skin color has no culture. There is no black culture. I was in the military and served with black people from all over the country and world. I served with a guy from Nigeria and a guy from the South. Their cultures were worlds apart. One of them was basically a redneck driving a pickup truck and the other from a tribal culture who could speak something like 10 different languages. I now have a friend from Malawi and another from the rural midwest... you think they both have some "black culture?" they share? Nope. I am not shocked. We (the political left) have spent the last 10 years pushing racial division in this country, including trying to build a hierarchy of victimization to push people into.

So... you have spent the last few weeks I have been on this forum defending these protests. Now, you want them to stop?

You don't seem to care at all about Biden's dictatorship efforts.

You have moved on from tolerance and courtesy to: come on, dude, mocking the whole thing. No, it was not merely being verbally trolled. These intolerant LBTQ bullies, intent on destroying his business, sued him not just for the Satan Dildo cake but for a Gender transition cake as well. Yet again, you continue to conflate not wanting to participate in an event by creating something for it with outright discrimination based on race. Yet again, you prove your whole schtick about "tolerance" and "courtesy" was all a ruse. You are not interested in these things. You demand acceptance and participation and cheer on using whatever force or coercion people use to demand it. As I said before, in my last big response, which you ignored, you conflated tolerance with acceptance and then demanded people accept. These are not "prank calls." You are not making honest responses now, as you continue to ignore the facts and try to downplay what is going on as I have repeatedly explained it to you. Well, you claim not to be ignorant, but then you make one of the most average ignorant comments an ignorant person about Christianity makes. You make the average ignorant response that Jesus did not mention homosexuality! And yet, Jesus did talk at great lengths about marriage, the relations between husband and wife, and analogies of such, as well as what Paul went on to write as well as the constant theme of scripture throughout the Bible. The baker did not refuse to feed sinners. He refused to participate in their wedding. He would have made them any other baked good. Again, you continue to ignore and contort what happened completely.

Just as bogus. I made it clear as to why. They were not being "punished" If you are so concerned about these lives being lost, why do you not spend more time criticizing Hamas for their tactics in endangering them? What exactly is it you think is going to cost trillions? What is this fix?

You are on here making a bogus assertion that Israel was punishing these people through collective punishment. I don't want to quibble anymore than you want to push bogus assertions. The creation of Israel isn't a disaster. The continued hate of Israel and the push to kill all the Jews is the problem.

So, do you think it is racist to want a Black History Month or an all-Black school/one that focuses exclusively on Black students?

When people say they don't see skin color, it is a figure of speech, meaning they don't treat people differently because of skin color.
