Well, that is sleaze beyond saturation. But it’s not surprising, in fact in my eyes it simply follows the dominoes falling down since November 2016.

You can’t possibly expect truth, accuracy, justice or fairness in today’s world, it’s a nice fantasy but it’s just a fantasy.
In today’s world, evil got the ring and greed, lies, cruelty and sleaze will win at every turn.

Today it’s the map of Crimea.
But we’re in a country that advocates creationism, where women are told about “reverse abortions” and where our own corrupt politicians can refuse to answer a subpoena and still go freely about their lives.

Black men are shot in the back by cops who don’t face justice.
Our society couldn’t be bothered to act in the face of the #metoo movement, our response was to install Kavanaugh in the SCOTUS and laugh at his victim.

We are a country ruled by sleaze, greed and corruption, and Apple has become the little fish that eats the barnacles off the big fish to stay alive. The big fish said he wants the map the show Crimea as Russian territory, why let facts stand in the way?
Apple has retained the right to sell and profit in Russia, THAT’S WHAT MATTERS AS FAR AS APPLE IS CONCERNED.

Oh, and boycotts no longer work, corporations have grown too big and too powerful.

Welcome to today’s reality.

....

You do realize that an overwhelmingly majority of black men are shot by other black men whom are not cops and many of those non-cop shooters are still on the loose, right?

Let’s not focus on the few incidents involving police and ignore the numerous that don’t.

Aww, you’re going that route? Well we’re apparently still ok putting brown kids in cages, you’re going to blame black men for that?

Aww, and you’re going to ignore the fact that I stated in my previous reply and take a potshot at me for pointing it out. Anyway, to answer your question, if those “brown kids” did something deserving of being caged then yes, I’m okay with it and I will blame those same “brown kids” who knew they were doing wrong and knew the risks when they did it.

I’m not going to be among those who assist in the perpetual cage gathering by always finding an excuse for those “brown kids’” behavior instead of letting them know that their actions are unacceptable and won’t be tolerated, but that’s Just Me, D...

I will apologize for making you want to vomit, but I will not apologize for telling the truth. Take care and have a great weekend...

It appears I cannot block you. I guess I’ll avoid you from here on out. Your words are revolting. I will never say another word to you again.

So their words are revolting just because they have a different opinion to you?

I recognize a privileged racist when I see one and yes his words are revolting to the Nth degree. And frankly if you read his post and are ok with that, you simply deserve to be thrown in the same sack. Go read what he said. You’re ok with that?
Then ignore me please because I promise you I will never EVER have a shred of respect for you and your ilk.

What are my interests?

Apparently I have no idea, but I would think that EQUALITY would be a good start. And as such, (btw I look white, I’m actually of very mixed ancestry) I would hope that the plight of children being ripped from their parents arms and licked in cages would be enough to flip your skirt but evidently I’m wrong.

So let me get this straight:
You are a 56 year old black male who is ok seeing children ripped away from their parents and locked in cages.
“Those that did something wrong”, is that it?
Because a nursing infant is totally responsible for whatever his/her parents are accused of , yes?
So the kids that have died in custody deserved it, yes?
And the young girls whose periods are tracked so they can be denied abortions after being raped, they’re responsible and they deserve their fate, yes?

Puke.

No, we’re not playing that game! What I stated above was crystal clear and didn’t leave room for interpretation, and you know it. All of your replies have been potshots and is typical of people who claim to be tolerant when in fact, they’re the most intolerant.

You don’t have a clue to what I’ve done, been through and seen over the years, but you’re quick to classify me and put me in a cage with anyone else who dares to have a different viewpoint than yours. In fact, that type of thinking and behavior is privileged. In addition, you claiming that I routinely vote against my own interests means you’ve concluded that all black people think alike and that is racist thinking.

Where did he say anything about children being locked up? He said if black people did something wrong they should be punished for their crimes just like anybody else

Potshots? I pointed out the obvious. And no, we’re not talking about “black people”, we’re talking about your post.
Stop gaslighting me and own your bs, you seem so proud off it.
