Bambu, I think it is very likely that some of those members of parliament have seen you or heard of you in all your glorious whiteness and decided that, no, white is not ok.

Trump is still as alive politically as his spiritual leader David Duke. Whether he misuses US troops for a divisive racist publicity stunt to no effect at great public expense has no bearing on the dotard’s standing - low and getting lower every day.



Is it ok to be Black?

Paint yourself whatever color you like or stick with what god gave you. Just don’t be a dick about color or anything else.

Is it ok to be Black?...yes or no.

Not to you.

Don't ya just love the way people won't answer simple questions. lol

They can't say yes or no.

Yes he did...

No he didn't.

.

Yes he did.

But given how many questions you have never answered, it is pretty funny listening to you whine about it now.

It is totally okay to be white, IMO, Bambi.

It is totally okay to be black, IMO, Bambi.

It is totally okay to be whatever skin color one happens to be, IMO.

But the question you are failing to grasp is akin to the "White Pride" movement or the complaint, "Why isn't there a White History Month?" or "Why isn't there a Men's History Month?"

What are your answers to those two questions?

You are obviously not ok, Bambu. I’m not sure how much being Black would help you get ok. I don’t think you could handle being Black at all. You are already making a huge mess of being White and that is by far the easiest color to be especially in cracker-ass Australia.

Glad you mentioned the right wing crazies Luee. They are far more numerous, better funded, and better armed than the other groups you mentioned. They have taken many more lives, caused more grief, and abetted the theft of trillions in tax dollars when they merged with the eager and rapacious party in power.

Better question. Is it OK to be violent, primitive(dark age), and xenophobic and come to the USA? It is not a matter of race. Just no m13/ Jihadis please. It is difficult enough dealing with the right wing crazies.

How would you know about the difficulty vis-a-vis the right wing crazies? We aren't even trying to deal with them! Our Incendiary-in-Chief is busy encouraging them - including with his bogus rhetoric about the caravan and his sending more troops to the border weeks before the caravan will be there, in the hopes of getting more votes.

It's okay to be all your racist ("it's not a matter of race") crap and come to our border and apply for asylum, Luee. We'll turn them down as we have all the way along - nothing new there.

But remember that  3/4ths of the terrorism in the US borders is by right wing whites and that President Trump is putting tons more effort into villifying the folks in the caravan ("Invaders!") than he has in any given week of his administration toward the bigger problem.

So, you just keep playing along with him and giving lip service to the bigger problem.

Trump says that when he "can" he tells the truth.

This must not be one of those times.

Yes and the other acts of terror is by 1% of the population, bombathons, shootem-ups, and vehicular homicides. The two wrongs make a right argument? Bring in another million or four.

Well, why isn't there a White History Month...there should be.
All the achievements of White people thru the ages.

There should also be a Men's History Month..."Men made America what it is today" [Women can have their own month...19th Amendment etc.].

Nothing wrong with "Black Pride".
Nothing wrong with "Brown Pride".
Nothing wrong with "Asian Pride".
But hey, "White Pride" is racist....what a joke.
White people should never have allowed themselves to be persecuted like they are today...especially White males.
Obama is as much White as he is Black...all we ever seem to hear about in this 21st century is how Black he is.

Bitch, please...

Every month in America is White History Month, even February.

If you saw Obama walking down the street and he had never been LEADER OF THE FREE WORLD you would have seen a black man walking down the street.

Nov2, 2018

Labor Department data showed the U.S. added 250,000 jobs in October, above forecasts of 188,000. The unemployment rate held steady at 3.7%. Average-hourly earnings rose 3.1% from a year earlier, the best pay raises in nearly a decade.

Trump says this process opens the door for too many uneducated, under-qualified, and possibly dangerous, immigrants to legally enter the U.S. He has been hammering that point ever since police arrested a 27-year-old man accused of setting off a pipe-bomb in a commuter tunnel near Times Square in December. That suspect, Akayed Ullah, has been living in Brooklyn since 2011 after entering the country on an F-4 visa, which is granted to brothers, sisters, nieces and nephews of U.S. citizens.



This is perfectly ok with Democrats

Why should I?  The always truth-telling President told me during his campaign "Unemployment is a totally phony number.”  He also told me "nobody has jobs. … It is not a real economy. It is a phony set of numbers. They cooked the books.”

MAGA!!!!!!
