    Next week Trump is running a virus super spreading event. He will kill at least scores of people, many who get infected by attendees, as a direct consequence.

    He is a murderer doing this. Its all just insanity.

    I have now had eight Zoom funerals in the past two months. Two for Covid-19 itself and these two were really horrible deaths, drowning in your own lungs, nobody but medical staff or maybe one family member near. Wake the fuck up guys.

    He is not a king.

    You can change flags, names of streets, even Army bases - How does that assist Black Americans? They will still all wake up in the morning and look in the mirror and go - "Oh shit I am still Black."

    As a Black American it must be embarrassing to know that Black Americans are the only group that has made no advancement. Every other group, Mexican, Indian, Irish ... find a way to overcome the obstacles in front of them.

    If you lack you must be? The answer is intelligent.

    Black Americans are a failed social experiment.

    FYI - While many "Generals" who have initiated FAILED military campaigns in several countries have voiced an anti Trump message, the boots on the ground heavily support Trump.

    In a recent survey of boots on the ground - enlistment in the Army - 74% approved of Trump's military leadership.

    A general alone can do nothing. If the campaigns failed, the "boots on the ground" were a big part of the reason.

    Doesn't matter, the argument is still a fallacy, an appeal to patriotism.

    It also hardly matters as Whiny Rand is absolutely barking mad. A 69 year old woman who says women are "weak" and has lived in Thailand for years but is wrapped in the flag..

    This is all that needs to be said - "Black Americans are a failed social experiment."

    I am up for debate on the topic.

    Failed.

    What is the experiment? "Blacks" were brought here during the early years of capitalism and had a massive impact on the formation of the first large quantities of capital. Without them it's hard to imagine how the capital to invest in the infrastructure that followed would have been raised. "Blacks" were not considered inferior to "whites" in the earliest days of colonialism here, that was a construct by the propertied classes to suppress "white" dissent (with indentured servitude and working conditions) and the resulting mass of labor action.

    Calm down dude African American - Black American - worked on cotton farms. They had little if anything to do with the emergence of manufacturing capacity in the North.

    As an aside - reparations - right. When you include passage to America + food + clothing + shelter - It turns out that each salve owes about $1,500. This does not include interest.

    There is not an Black American today who is not thankful that his ancestors brought him from Africa to America.

    It you want to know how Africans treat each other - go to Africa.

    Most African Americans would last about 15 mins in any Africa country. I personnel would send them to Nigeria.
