    Oh? Then why did YOU suggest it...? :nana:

    Actually, it wasn't a bad idea! If the Italians are as stupid and gullible as we Americans are becoming, maybe someone like moi, with 100% Germanic heritage, could score a few thousand in 'guilt' money in "reparations" from some half-witted Italian government official because the Roman Empire enslaved my relatives. It never hurts to try, because, as the old saying goes...

    I suggested you rant about Roman invaders?

    Have a lovely day, Thinky... this 'badminton match' is over, and if you like, you can say you won and 'feel good about yourself'. I've got to run now and go do more important things, like plucking nose hair.... Meanwhile, good luck with that 'reparations' thing that Hakeem will be pushing. With any luck, non-Black Americans may prove to be gullible and stupid enough to fall for it.... :hippie:

    Oh ffs. I didn't make any statement connecting Hunter Biden to the Denver Post article.

    The GOP not only has no plan, but they have no plans to make a plan. They made promises during their campaigns regarding the economy and crime, but their stated priority is to investigate Hunter Biden. How does that improve our lives?

    As for your whataboutism, does it really not occur to you that Trump was investigated because he actually is extremely corrupt?

    Okay, but I can't think of anything the government can do to being people together.

    I'm not surprised at your reaction. It's an outgrowth of one of those "can't see the forest for the trees" kind of thing. Don't let it trouble you. After all, Democrats will be completely free to go on wrecking this country unimpeded until early January 2023, and it's amazing how much damage creatures like Democrat congressmen/women/whatever can do in just one short month....

    Any luck on your reparations from ancient Rome?

    Hakeem and his faction learned decades ago that once they've "got Whitey on the run", all they have to do is be forceful and persistent and eventually they'll be able to get anything they want. Through the years they went from getting full equality-before-the-law (which every American citizen richly DESERVES) to "affirmative action", set-aside-for-minority-only government contracts involving many millions of dollars, racial hiring quotas for many government jobs, etc., etc. Indeed, "White guilt" is a powerful tool in the right hands....

    Meanwhile, back in Africa, the wonderous 'Motherland of all Black culture and heritage', covertly and openly, slavery is still practiced to this day. Link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavery_in_contemporary_Africa#:~:text=Slavery in the Sahel states,, Benin, Togo and Nigeria.

    Too bad they can't get "Whitey-on-the-run" over there anymore, because more and more White people have been leaving the Sub-Saharan pestholes in droves, often leaving everything they worked for behind in "reparations" confiscation by the Black African governments.
