    the use of fake news by the last administration was a weaponized way of dealing with journalists...that has nothing to do with this robbery where racism was a descriptor....I didn't write the story but you got really triggered over my posts to the point of very emo comparisons about Trump, Nazis, etc....I just talked about my wife and her family and their experiences in relationship to a japanese woman's experience and speculated....you seem to have difficulty with direct observations...going to duck, fade, whatever defensive stuff you were saying about me.....it's disrespectful simply put ..choices

    exactly. All the more reason to not make such a claim without proof or evidence.

    Also. Sorry but man blatent hypocrisy i cant help but

    nope okay. You are Right. I did mention it. But context matters. You couldnt handle the double standard call out originally, so the conversation went sideways. I assumed you meant as in you calling someone a nazi. I misunderstood your post but with how defensive you have been i see why. Lol

    you bringing up your family is not an issue but me bringing up my heritage is.
    You dont even see how im mocking your irrelevancy, talking about either with regards to the tweet.
    So yea i was wrong in i did use a simili mocking your irrelevant post by using germans and nazis.
    The fact that you dont get it is the telling thing out of all this.
    The fact you don't get that its a double standard to rail on fox news and trump for fake news but approve a tweet that makes a claim with zero evidence, is all i need to know.
    The rest of this conversation has just been a oidance by you to acknowledge the double standard by way of ducking and evading.
    Its okay. Its a tactic often used by those unable to confront a double standard of theirs ahen presented.
    So i stand by my original post. Your didn't make any sense to me.

    deal with it. ;)

    exactly. With how hard core of a claim. You dont make a claim without providing evidence.

    After seeing how the media handled the Rittenhouse coverage, guessing is probably too kind of an accusation. They're probably flat out lying.

    i once was introduced to a Vietnamese man who hated Blacks only he used the 'N' word. I tried to be polite with him but I decided a long time ago that I was wrong and should have made myself clear in thinking that was total bullshit.

    I agree with most of that but many of the robberies and acts of violence is Greed , Lack of respect and simply thugs. Its easier for them to just steal or take then to work and be respectful to others property.

    If a young person wants to work hard, build and achieve there are many opportunities to do so. Yep, might have to do some grunt work in the beginning but it's proven that those that are wanting to succeed can.

    I have been studying cultures around the world I've never been to online recently and it's interesting how people without a funded police force protect their own communities....neighborhood watches are common where the authorities are scarce in many places. What we're seeing today in our urban centers people live with all the time around the globe..lot of protection money politics everywhere it seems. Villages pay the criminals to not loot or steal ....renting security from the source of the crimes.

    I like the way you added the greatest asshole on Earth to the end, well, next to me, of course. But he's a strong no. 2. Yes, I'm butt hurt that you didn't place me in first place.

    100%. Capitalism isn't perfect but no system in history has brought societies out of poverty like it has. You just have to be willing to put in the work.

    Surely you know people that have achieved through hard work over time.
    There are opportunities out there, I have kids and grandkids that have pursued recent ones that offer decent pay and benefits. I know a person that spent years in Prison and got out knocked in doors got a labor job for electrician fir two years than got into apprenticeship fir 5 years and has been a journeyman electrician for the last 5 years. Worked his ass off to get there and still does. He has purchased a home has a family.
    My father became a Columbia River Pilot fir 47 years with a HS education.
    I have Vietnamese in laws that have come here and all are doing well, by working hard.
    Greed is a problem in Corp American and politics but generosity is still provided.
