    So you didn't have one and just wanted to slam Southern conservatives?

    I have to find the story where a white girl who was born and raised in Africa called herself 'African American' and black people when batshit crazy! Meanwhile none of the black people complaining didn't even visit Africa let alone be born there.

    You are still spouting that fallacious nonsense he was talking about the few so called white nationalist that were there? Since when were those of the conservative right anti-Israel, that's your side.

    I saw a poll yesterday with 70% opposing reparations, so 70% of the population are bad Southern conservatives?

    To show how silly this is.

    Obama was Bi-racial... There is a chance that his mothers side at one point or another owned slaves i guess that could be researched.. If so he would owe reparations to himself.

    His wife was not Bi-racial but yet it was shown that she had slave owners in her past... So she would also be paying reperations to.. herself..

    And it's the liberal left wing that is so anti-Israel so Fresh just equated them with the so called white nationalist.

    Here is the statement of Coleman Hughes whose stellar credentials are laid out by Chairman Cohen before he gives his very well thought out and informative statement which all should listen to.

    Then listen at the end how this jackass Cohen totally disrespected him with his condescending statement.

    Ah, the false narrative lives on in the sufferers. You bought into the lie and still push it. Sad.

    How about we FULLY restore and repay for all the injustice done to blacks, and send these who chooses to do so, back to Africa? Even pay for the tickets?

    You're just going to keep pushing that lie that he called the actual white supremacists "good people". You understand thats been debunked by anyone who actually watched the UNEDITED video. But yeah, keep on believing the tripe that Trump hates his daughter, son in law and grandchildren.

    For me, a person loses all credibility when they start pushing the false narratives of "fine people" and/or "I could shoot someone on 5th avenue". They've both been debunked so many times I've lost track. It tells me the person is either:
    a) ignorant of the full statements/context (in which case they aren't worthy of engaging in a political discussion)
    b) pushing a narrative they know is false in the hopes of deceiving the less-informed, or
    c) pushing a narrative they know is false as a lame attempt to bait the more educated into correcting them for the umpteenth time.

    Pushing a KNOWN and REPEATEDLY DEBUNKED false narrative = TOTAL FAIL, no exceptions.

    yes, that is what makes it so weird he did not get more upset at the people chanting "Blood and soil, Jews will not replace us"

    maybe he is jealous of Ivank's husband, doesn't want to share Ivanka's love - who knows

    How do you know how upset he was when he heard that line? While it might be your Stalinist view to lock people up for simply having an opinion you disagree with, and very well is wrong....we don't simply lock people up for that here

    We LITERALLY already did that. What do you think affirmative action was?
    Why do you think Black women went from the most marginalized group of persons to the most educated group of persons in the nation in about 50 years or so?

    Its also cogent to note: If you read the cases that deal with affirmative action, they all acknowledge its racial discrimination against whites that's only acceptable as a temporary corrective measure.
    All the cases, EVERY liberal judge ever, has agreed that at some point (they thought about 75 years from the end of segregation) AA HAS to go. That time is likely already here but you can expect it to disappear in the next few decades

    “Racism is evil, and those who cause violence in its name are criminals and thugs, including the KKK, neo-Nazis, white supremacists, and other hate groups that are repugnant to everything we hold dear as Americans.” - that was at the Press Conference right after the riot.

    Can they make their strategy of buying votes any more obvious? How much free money would it take for you to turn into a victim?
