Will Black comedians in America, and their Black audiences be apologising for their  "Black People hate White People"-ilk hate/racist speech from the stage, and their jumping about laughing and clapping agreement?

Will you ever stop being an object of derision?

Well I just thought that seeing as how White people are basically being made apologise to all and sundry for their very existence...that would be a fair question to ask.


I fear I will doubt your full sincerity till you start acting less of a joke.

The prevailing theory is you like the attention.

I would only seek attention if there were some large financial reward in it for me.

Russian bounties offered to Taliban-linked militants to kill coalition forces in Afghanistan are believed to have resulted in the deaths of several U.S. service members, according to intelligence gleaned from U.S. military interrogations of captured militants in recent months...

The intelligence was passed up from the U.S. Special Operations forces based in Afghanistan and led to a restricted high-level White House meeting in late March, the people said.

Aren't there some kangaroos who need being fed? Are there no sheep for you to shear? Seriously, what is your obsession with our country? And with race?

Did you get beyond 7th year in school, mate?

Only just.
You must, but don't,.... (Americans on the whole seem very insular, which is all fine as they rule the world and don't need to be anything else).....understand that Washington rules the world one way or another and what happens in America happens in the rest of the world as a result.
A Black man dies at the hands of the police while being arrested in America, next minute there are riots in the streets globally,  and BLM protest marches spreading Covid-19 around where I live.
NYSE.
"America coughs, we catch a cold'".
White heterosexual Christian males living now are being attacked globally as being responsible for everything that's wrong with the world today.

Now the "Black people hate White people" Black American comedian will be touring Australia.

United States intelligence officers and Special Operations forces in Afghanistan alerted their superiors as early as January to a suspected Russian plot to pay bounties to the Taliban to kill American troops in Afghanistan, according to officials briefed on the matter...

Though the White House press secretary, Kayleigh McEnany, claimed on Saturday that Mr. Trump had not been briefed about the intelligence report, one American official had told The Times that the report was briefed to the highest levels of the White House. Another said it was included in the President’s Daily Brief, a compendium of foreign policy and national security intelligence compiled for Mr. Trump to read.

Your last half dozen posts on this matter have all been incisive and I upwardly thumb them.   Be interesting to see how well "45" manages to play the ignorance gambit.   Not too well so far.   Trump is so corrupt that he wears down people's ability to focus outrage.   At this point it's mind-numbing.

One such Black comedian will be touring downunder soon.
Said Trump will be the subject of some of his jokes.
Of course.
Should be interesting...Trump is a White, heterosexual Christian male...
...and as US President, Australia's only real hope of self-defence.
You think that but, once again, you are a RACIST.

Two Paterson, New Jersey councilmen and two men linked to a councilmen’s campaign have been charged with election fraud, mail-in voting fraud, and illegal possession of mail-in ballots.

A Black man dies at the hands of the police while being arrested in America, next minute there are riots in the streets globally,  and BLM protest marches spreading Covid-19 around where I live.

If that were the case, there would be people rioting in the streets every day of the year, figuring that the marches go for more than a day each.

There are not riots every day in your streets. Ipso facto, you lie or at least grossly exaggerate.

We do know that much of what we do impacts everybody else in the world - it is one of the reasons, though not the only one, that we rue the election of Trump. I get that it is too complicated for you to understand, but he has weakened this country greatly and made it far less effective internationally, not just nationally. YOU are weaker, for all that you cannot see it, only Trump's promises that you mistake for effective action.

And therein lies the problem.

It was in the Daily Brief.

It needed to be announced and repeated. It needed to be said aloud multiple times. The National Security Advisor needed to hear it, too.

Because Trump does not read the Daily Brief. This is not news. This is not partisan sniping. This is common knowledge.
