    Dude, facts have absolutely no place in an irrational, emotional argument designed to make the sitting President look bad so he'll lose the next election. In regards to this statement in that article:

    "What the media do not tell you is that America is the best place on the planet to be black, female, gay, trans or what have you. We have our problems and we need to address those. But our society and our systems are far from racist"

    There are # types of people in this conversation.

    1. The people who know that statement to be true, unequivocally.
    2. The people who know it to be true, but are pushing a political narrative designed to oust the man in the Oval Office.
    3. The people who honestly believe that statement to be false and have convinced themselves it is so because of propaganda and their lack of experience anywhere outside the comfort of their American living room with all its amenities.

    You're not telling the first group anything new. The second group, which makes up the vast amount of liberals - especially white liberals with money - isn't going to listen to it. They'll attack your character, put you on ignore, try to cancel you to shut you up. They do this because they don't want your voice to get to the third group. The third group are the puppets to the second. They're the cannon fodder in the war.

    great post. The fake racism narrative will continue to be supported because their is plenty of money to be made in the " excuse market".

    African tribes were selling other Africans for hundreds of years. What did they do with all
    that money?
    many of those africans were actually traded for other goods.

    So West does something very bad to people but discovered others have also done bad things to people.. And as two bad things cancel each other out, West has a clean conscience.

  7. Saying America is the best place for gays because in many other countries they could get arrested for simply being gay does not absolve us of doing things wrong in this country. It took a SC ruling in 2020 to tell employers you cannot fire people just because they are gay. Just because we are not beating them with sticks does not mean we should allow discrimination just because we are not as bad as others.

    If you have a Constitution but do not apply it to all citizens then it does not matter what happens in other countries.
