No, I read and understood your question. But I’m actually not interested in replying to five different questions/comments that are only tangentially related to my original point. The nuances of Trump administration policy, details of my childhood, the validity of the 2016 election, the notion of decency by political…

Did you have anything to say about the point I was making, or was this just an exercise in tedium?

The hypocrisy isn’t lost on me. It’s a ‘two wrongs don’t make a right’ situation.

Finally a Trump policy we can get behind. This is a victory in the war on racism. We’re one step closer to a world where people are no longer judged by the color of their skin. I never thought I’d get to say this, but kudos to the president!

Hehe what are you people up in arms about? The picture was from 1974! Everyone was in black face in the 70s. I have halloween pictures with my family in black face from the 70s. It wasn’t racist, and it still isn’t. It’s just a costume. My goodness there’s a lot of drama queens here. Everyone’s making a mountain of a…

No one can stop you from being deliberately rude. I’m sure you’ll act out as you see fit. 

I’m not sure what the bylaws are in that area, or what the building’s policy is on smoking in public areas, but Etheridge was probably in the wrong here. It’s a tremendously filthy habit, and should be attended to in a private or pre-designated area. Perhaps she should take this opportunity to re-evaluate her…

Just a small point of clarification: Jews aren’t white. Different race altogether. I can understand the confusion. They have money, they’re educated, their skin tone can be light. But they’re not actually white people.

I’ve got bad news for you: these bureaucrats don’t give a damn about your opinion one way or the other. Write, call, accost them in public - it won’t make a difference any which way. And why should it? Who takes wisdom from a random blow hard with a half-baked opinion on how you ought to do your job differently? I…

This sounds like a terribly rude thing to have done. These people have private lives, and they have a right to those private lives just as you and I do. Being a public servant doesn’t change that in the least. If you have a professional grievance with someone you contact them during office hours and air your concerns…

Interesting situation. Are they able to prove authorship of the document? I wonder if this wasn’t perhaps planted by a disgruntled employee... one who had grievances, but no evidence beyond anecdotes. Just a thought.

I think we come here because it’s fascinating to see the world through a different lens. I’m continually impressed by the articles and commentary here. However badly white America might think they’re resented by black America, it is SO MUCH WORSE. It’s a seething hatred. And of course we don’t get it. We’ve never…

Right. Of course these people aren’t actually interested in representation. They’re interested in pushing their socio-political agenda. Media is just their weapon of choice. And their strategy is simple: their going to bludgeon us over the head with their content until we submit to it. Crude but effective. 

And to think there are millions of women the world over desperate for an excuse not to go to sporting events...

I’d be curious to see the statistics on how many heteronormative people are interested in seeing increased LGBTQIA+ representation in the media they consume. I have a suspicion that that this is a special interest topic being shoehorned into mainstream content.

I think Melania is trolling America. I’m kind of impressed. 

Nah, maybe this is dishonest. Here’s a more candid take:

It’s interesting how you insist that white America adamantly wants to be rid of non-whites. I would suggest we don’t especially care what colour you are, so long as you enter the country legally. As for the assumption of wide-spread white supremacy - I’m not sure where you’re getting any of that, but it sounds like…

Best soap opera ever.

Perhaps he’s just a pragmatist. A deadly force policy for illegal immigration would be nothing if not an effective deterrent.
