What Happened to Living Together?

In the 60's men were being taken from their normal lives and forced to join the military as infantry soldiers (or marines). That is enough right there to make a man fight against the very .guv that is supposed to be for him.

I eagerly volunteered for the military, but time has opened my eyes to the whole MIC thing. It made me an OK living which I am retired from, wiser and jaded.

The media is squarely at fault for the current unrest, and I think after the real boloody shitstorm hits in America, that the way news is distributed in this country will change.

What I saw several years ago was the 'new' DNC spokesperson saying "We'd like to see an African American for that position" when asked what candidate they'd like to run for the Presidency.

...... and the only reason I saw/heard that lil tidbit of overt racism was that I happened to be watching something boring at the right time 'cause it was quickly buried.

........... but when it came time to choose (lol) a VP candidate it was much more obvious, they said they wanted a Black female picked and they got it.

I don't go to Fox News, maybe they covered it, but from the Liberal MSM, no comment, no criticism, nothing but crickets! :whistling:

:laughing: Can you imagine the uproar if the RNC had stated "We want a White candidate to run"? :laughing:

Peeps will be too busy standing in bread lines and won't be able to afford cable/Roku fees to catch up on 'issues' that should be addressed RIGHT NOW. ;)

You mean if the RNC stated the obvious. Can’t get whiter than Pence.

Why not a black person? Or a woman? What’s so special about white men? Plenty of women and people of color just as qualified. Why not break the barrier? Why not state the obvious?

Why not stay 'open' and pick THE BEST CANDIDATE FOR THE JOB?

America once had a draft.

You were career military.

Nothing to do with the media. It will remain. Good, bad, truth, gossip, yellow, black and white and read all over.

Open meaning keep picking the white guy. There is no best candidate.

I left that US vs Russia nuclear war shitshow as soon as I could after the minimum time. I am a hardware guy, and their toys were cool and paid well to develop. The "I" in MIC.

Out of 45 presidents, 1% have been identified as being black. None have been woman.

That's about right. !/2 a negro divided by 45 is close to 1%. Oboma was the son of a white mother. A CIA creation they say.

Race is not the issue. Socialism/communism is, and it has always failed.

Maybe they should have kept the book "Animal Farm" as required reading in school.

Sad to say but in this election race is directly or indirectly the issue as the current DNC power holders have chosen to make it an issue by actively supporting #BLM (as stated on their website) and #BLM (as stated on their website), directly or indirectly supports Black Nationalism, Black Power (raised, clenched black fist logo), and Black Pan-Nationalism, which are all Socialist in nature:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_nationalism

Black nationalism is a type of nationalism or pan-nationalism which espouses the belief that black people are a race and seeks to develop and maintain a black racial and national identity.[1] Black nationalist activism revolves around social, political, and economic empowerment of black communities and people, especially to resist assimilation into white culture (through integration or otherwise) and maintain a distinct black identity.[1]

Black nationalism arose within the African-American community in the United States. In the early 20th century, the Garveyism promoted by the U.S.-based Marcus Garvey furthered black nationalist ideas. Black nationalist ideas also proved an influence on the Black Islam movement, particularly groups like the Nation of Islam founded by Elijah Muhammad. During the 1960s, Black nationalism influenced the Black Panther Party and the broader Black Power movement...... :dance013:

Communism (at least when implemented in to real life) doesn´t work, we all know that. (It looks nice on paper but that´s about it.)


But neither does fascism, far right wing stuff (like the ME, ME, ME -First thinking style).
I´m from Europe, so I know where all this shit has gotten us in the past!!!
Will people never learn!?! Learn from past mistakes man - look at the consequences of you own behaviour and consider what happens if....

We have tried to boot the failed 2 party system for years. There's just not enough of us to get the right people in power. Its like a never ending rinse and repeat cycle. Trying something new seems to be the end of the world for millions.
