  1. I'm tired of your racism. You make it unfun to be here. I try so hard to be understanding and to explain but you guys just want to stick to falsehoods and stereotypes. I guess you all can just be miserable together. I'm out.

    Paris. Can it ever comeback?

    Imagine reading all the racist comments about Indians, simply because they are doing something unusual in the streets of France, and you decide to criticize me? I'm defending the right of people to immigrate there just as your family decided to immigrate here to the United States. Check yourself.

    The commissioner now has the scoring too low! I wonder what the deal is? They said I’m harassing them by commenting on the scoring. 🫣
  4. Actually, that was what one of the Reddit guys answered. Perhaps they don’t hire illegal Koreans at Kia (to overwork and underpay them) and the Hyundai plant where 425 illegal Koreans were working was just an anomaly.

    Train stabbing in NC

    Imagine if I posted about all the murder suicides or the man who tied up and killed his 4 young daughters that were perpetrated by white people. I don’t have a need, like some of you do, to make myself feel better because I’m superior or to form bonds with strangers online by ‘othering’ people who look different than me. Your own parents, siblings, relatives and friends are different from you, stop trying to make black people the same, especially by saying we’re all criminals. It also erases that many of us are irritated by the exact same things you’re upset about. I’m a woman! That stabbing was absolutely frightening. Yet, because I’m black I’m in here defending my blackness instead of the reality that I’m more likely to be the victim of being stabbed than anyone! “Some people can be rehabilitated, some people are just mean and evil,” said Karen Spencer-McGee, a 60-year-old survivor of domestic violence and sexual assault who lives in Memphis, Tennessee. “So there are some things that should be punishable. But you cannot address crime without addressing poverty and the miseducation of Black and Brown people.” In 2023, Black women faced the highest rates of victimization (27.2 violent crimes per 1,000 women), according to federal data. Despite this, Spencer-McGee and other Black women at the Crime Survivors Speak March on Washington shared a common feeling that they were dismissed by police or treated as suspects after experiencing violence. Research bears this out, indicating that crimes committed against Black people are less likely to be solved by law enforcement and less likely to receive news coverage than crimes targeting White people.

    The 13% are also disproportionately poor living in substandard conditions. What is the excuse of the educated rich stealing billions from Americans on a mass scale? What about the bombings and killings of thousands at a time? Are those not also murder? The man was clearly mentally ill. You have no idea his upbringing. There are people who were born with psychological problems and the average uneducated parent only knows to beat the illness out of the child. If you’re afraid of the 13% it’s only because you know what happened to their forefathers and how it affects their progeny. There is the door you can head back to Norway or Ireland or wherever your ancestors came from.
  8. You know what’s sad? People were genuinely excited and hopeful about jobs coming to the area, when in fact they don’t even hire Americans! This was the case in Newark, NJ. I lived in Newark and many people were unemployed or under-employed despite being surrounded by factories! They never hired us. In fact, there was no way to see inside these plants. The people came to work in darkness (around 5 am) and left before most people were off from work. But in the hot summers you could see inside because they open these huge slats of windows and then you see them, working with fans all around, sweating, mostly women, Hispanics. Sweatshops! It looked miserable, but I needed a job. Even when I ran into a lady and tried to ask her about hiring, she refused to speak to me. I would pass by the Kia plant on my way from Georgia to Alabama and wished I lived near so I could work there. My family is from Detroit and car plants helped our people leave Mississippi and Georgia farming. I bet there are folks right now that have had a similar experience I had in Newark: That despite this big factory, no jobs for you because you’re an American. It’s happening to the poor in the inner cities and apparently to the poor in rural areas. ETA, Was reading a Reddit where a guy was wondering why the town of the Kia plant was filled with Korean restaurants. He wondered if they were only hiring Koreans inside. This was 7 years ago. The guy was right on the money. And then people say, the immigrants come here and work hard, blah, blah, blah…No they selectively hire their own. This happens in tech as well.

    I complained and the league owner changed the scoring to normal. Thanks for the heads up! Now Keenan has 16 pts

  13. Really? How so? You think getting a public education is a handout to black women? Please explain and show your work...

    OP Thanks for titling this in neutral non-biased way. Horrific tragedy. We need to really bring back mental institutions where someone like him could be kept away from the public. We shouldn't wait for murders to occur to have an excuse to lock someone like him up. Lastly, we need to invest in our children's mental health so they don't grow up to be menaces to society.
  15. Not sure what this means, but blacks don't need help or handouts. Black women have managed to get educations and good jobs, we certainly don't need to stop immigration in order for black men to get jobs. Black men, like the rest of the men, need to get their skills up and find jobs like everyone else manages to do. Although my job has been cut, I'm looking forward to doing something new, outside of science. I am older and maybe something more customer service related. Working in the lab and then on the computer everyday has been rewarding but I think being around people would be a welcome change.
