Is there any reason for keeping the political/news fora alive other than personal attacks?

Shut your festering gob, you tit.

I came here for an argument.

Last month as we all know was African American History month,

According to Diversity Central.com

http://diversitycentral.com/calendar/heritagemonthguide.php


March has two (really three) designations

a) national women's month
b) Irish-American heritage month 
c) national deaf history month for the back eend of the month

so if you're an Irish-American deaf woman you hit the trifecta

The year is celebrated in diversity as follows

Month
Heritage Celebrated

January None to date

February African American History Month

March National National Women’s History Month, Irish-American Heritage Month

April March 13 to April 15 is National Deaf History Month

May Asian Pacific American Heritage, Older Americans Month and Jewish American Heritage Month

June Gay Lesbian Pride Month

July None to date

August None to date

September National Hispanic-Latino Heritage Month (Sept. 15-Oct. 15)

October National Disability Employment Awareness Month and National Italian American Heritage Month

November National American Indian Heritage Month

December None to date; are two international commemorations


There are several avaialble months open to worthy but over-looked ethnic groups, races, or broadly identified groups etc.

this is clearly a topic worthy of discussion and couldn't possible lead to any disagreements over entitledments, insults or slurs!

I think Q-followers or Trump supporters deserve at least a week, maybe two (kid-any thoughts) maybe the Lesbians and Gays can share June and we can rename celebrate June as LGBTQ

just a thought

Racism in the palace?
Could be, who knows.
There's racism just about everywhere else...both ways

I think there would have been the same stuffiness had Harry wanted to marry a 100% white American actress.

Meghan was embraced,
Diversity was embraced.
Seems Meghan never really understood what her role in the Royal family would be.
Seemed to never really understand the 'life of service' bit, and 'know her place' in the order of things, her responsibilities...no matter her race.
A duchess is not the queen...and not always the queen in waiting either.
There is a pecking order...much like the military.

Anything about The German States?
'German American Culture and Traditions'?

As the 'crazy witch-hunters' are still searching for the 'Royal racist', the Queen's 99 yr old husband is still in hospital recovering from infection and a heart operation.
He has "walked 3 steps behind" his whole long marriage.
He and the Queen deserved better that what was dished out by their grandson and his wife on tv very recently.
***
The cannons return fire:

Sky News Australia:
"Many people were 'reaching for the chuck bucket' over Prince Harry and Meghan
Markle interview".
*
Maybe y'all call it 'barf bucket'.

Sky News Australia:
"There is 'no doubt' Harry and Meghan are 'delusional'.

Hessian, Hun, fascist, WWs, remembrance month? Either June for D-day or December for crossing the Delaware. In honor of stopping the tradition of WWs and turning your enemy into Wienerschnitzel.

'Speedy Gonzales' and 'Slowpoke Rodriguez' are in danger of being cancelled.  (NY Times)

'Racist stereotypes' or something.

Never ceases to amaze how folks who don’t live within the Beltway regurgitate the conventional wisdom of the insider pundits.

If you’re looking at historical trends in midterm elections for 2022 you’re looking in the rear view mirror.

I suppose the same could be said about those inside the Beltway who regurgitate the same bullshit they heard at the same cocktail parties or gathered around the water cooler.

I'm hopeful about '22 (House could be tricky, gerrymandering, Senate might be fruitful) as there's a good chance the Dems will ask voters, Are you better off today than you were...

And a vacced-up healthy working mother and father can exhale, smile and say "yes" and we're taking our first family vacation in years.

And they see a future for themselves and their kids.

And the Repubs will have nothing except gripes

sour gripes and whine

Meanwhile I am happy Joe Biden has gone even bigger than I imagined and he didn't allow his work to whittled down by the GOP who weren't gonna support ANYTHING he did.

His remaining agenda is HUGE.

Im happy.

BIG

It's pretty clear who is going after Asians, in almost every incidence reported in the last few months. And they don't look like Trump supporters.

I responded to you before about this issue and I reminded you what happened to Vincent Chin and why back in 1984.

Same bullshit that's happening now.

Fear and loathing against Asian Americans stoked by the right.

China Virus
Kung Flu
Wuhan Flu

Go jerk off over something else.

I found this "deck" of PowerPoint info slides to be interesting in both content and presentation:

Lots of current events/political and social in nature.

Good stuff

The skin colour of Meghan Markle's mother, Meghan Markle's father, and Meghan Markle...has been a topic of conversation 'worldwide' since she first appeared on the 'royal' scene.
Much the same as Obama.

It comes as no surprise that the skin colour of her baby would be discussed.
"Harry's girlfriend is black".
"Black"?   she looks white".
Etc.

People, "worldwide", don't have anything better to talk about?
