If America is so racist, why do millions of non-white people keep trying to move to America every year?

Neither the Black Lives Matter movement nor the Democrats and the media who pander to them actually care about black lives. If they did they would be talking about the 18 black people murdered in Chicago over this past weekend--more than all the unarmed blacks killed by police in America over the past 18 months.
BLM would be better named BVM--Black Votes Matter.

Or sBLM (some Black Lives Matter)... and *sBLMalawcgm would be even better but tough to fit that on a business card. *some Black Lives Matter as long as we can get money #truthinadvertising |

On the 7th of June I posted a video of Candace Owens on this thread speaking to Black Americans about the broken Black culture. Specifically their adulation of the lowest denominator in their society; criminals. Which is shown by their rage at the killing of George Floyd who was a career criminal that preyed on innocent citizens by robbing them, selling drugs, passing counterfeit money to stores in black neighborhoods and likely other types of crimes.
Yet, to Black America he has become a martyr. Candace explains how the left has made fools of Black people by encouraging them to destroy their own neighborhoods because the left thinks Black people are stupid.
Candace has a lot to say with passion because of her frustration with her own people. I encourage you all to watch it in its entirety.

A statue of Winston Churchill was defaced by BLM in England. And today I read there is pressure to remove Gone With The Wind from circulation because it romanticizes slavery and the old South. Where does it all end? I thought about it for a few minutes and came up with some revered Americans who once owned slaves. 18 presidents, including George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, James Monroe, Andrew Jackson and Ulysses S. Grant. George Washington's wife Martha Famous kite flyer Benjamin Franklin American statesman Henry Clay First Declaration of Independence signer John Hancock Supreme Court Chief Justices John Jay and John Marshall Pennsylvania founder William Penn Union general George Thomas National anthem author Francis Scott Key Explorer William Clark of Lewis & Clark fame Texas independence hero Sam Houston, and Colonial hero Patrick Henry But not Robert E. Lee If we take the current hysteria to its logical conclusion, imagine all the statues that would have to be taken down, as well as all the streets, schools, buildings, towns, cities and states that would have to be renamed. And all so we can purify a history with lots of warts to make it more palatable to today's sensitive snowflakes. |

The logical end game here is the division of the country.
The ideological differences between left and right were once reasonably negotiable. That ship has sailed.

So how does one divide up the country? Do we do it by states? Do conservatives all move to the "right" or east part of the country, while all liberals move to the "left" or west? I'll be goddamned if I'm moving to New York because a majority of the people in this state are stuck in living out their childish Kumbaya fantasies.

And THAT should be the focus of the conversation between left and right.

So, this was the key note speaker at Floyd’s funeral?

All these people outraged about the threat that the police pose to unarmed blacks have been lied to...and they don't seem to care.
The narrative that there is "systemic racism" in America is a damned lie.

To say America in 2020 is "systemically racist" is to reveal yourself to be an idiot.

A statue of Winston Churchill was defaced by BLM in England. I thought about it for a few minutes and came up with some revered Americans who once owned slaves. 18 presidents,.... But not Robert E. Lee Perhaps if you thought about it a bit longer.... Myths & Misunderstandings | Lee as a slaveholderMyth: “Robert E. Lee didn’t own slaves.”
The claim that Robert E. Lee did not own slaves is often paired with the claim that Ulysses S. Grant did own slaves during the Civil War. Both claims serve to distance the Confederacy from its core justification and suggest United States hypocrisy on the matter of race. Both claims are false.acwm.org/blog/myths-misunderstandings-lee-slaveholder/Robert E. Lee and Slavery
Contributed by Allen C. Guelzo
Robert E. Lee was the most successful Confederate military leader during the American Civil War (1861–1865). This also made him, by virtue of the Confederacy's defense of chattel slavery, the most successful defender of the enslavement of African Americans. Yet his own personal record on both slavery and race is mottled with contradictions and ambivalence, all which were in plain view during his long career.www.encyclopediavirginia.org/Lee_Robert_E_and_SlaveryRobert E. Lee and Slavery
In this letter, Robert E. Lee discusses a central dilemma of his own life, and of American history, slavery. Lee was a gradual emancipationist who criticized slavery as an evil system, but had only vague hopes that it would eventually end. He owned few slaves in his own right, but in 1857, as executor of his father-in-law's large estate, he became responsible for almost 200 slaves who lived and worked on three large Virginia plantations that George W. P. Custis had willed to his Lee grandsons. www.masshist.org/database/viewer.php?item_id=1095&pid=3Yeah I know...you know more about the Civil War than anybody...but you're just wrong about Lee never owning any slaves. I hope you can live with the abject humiliation this must bring. Carry on. |
