You can't make this stuff up.

That probably explains why he didn't post the link.

If the OP is too lazy to provide a link, I am not going to waste my time doing his work for him.

To verify it was indeed from NPR and not edited/altered as some people have done in the past (like the Horse guy). Also not to have to scroll through all that crap.

Of course the OP provides no link for these allegations.

Thread title has "pedros" and a taco emoji. Who says the OP is racist?

Beyonce doing a Country album is part of an agenda to de-White western nations?

No and no.

And stop with the transitioning comments too.

I never said or suggested that. Stop with this Straw Man mischaracterization.

Remarkably, Tylenlol suffered no long term brand damage from this. And they don't know who did it, the perpetrator of the 1982 Tylenol cyanide poisonings remains unknown.

Oh, please.

Now Germany, England, and France all have travel warnings for visiting America. Let that sink in.

To make matters worse one of their print ads said "Lose weight fast with AYDS!" I remember a stand up comedian at the time talking about an AYDS company meeting with the CEO saying: "Why couldn't they have called it Snickers?"

More on the success, so far, of the Cowboy Carter Tour. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cowboy_Carter_Tour#Commercial_performance Ticket sales Ticket sales for the Cowboy Carter Tour were handled by Ticketmaster, whose website crashed due to "massive demand".[32][33] For the US dates, it was revealed that there would be three different presale events before the public on-sale, where fans could register for a chance to buy tickets in one of two ways: through the Beyhive presale, which ran from February 11, 2025, until the next day, or through the Artist presale, for access to the presale on February 13.[34] The third option was limited to Citi Card Members and Verizon customers only.[35] Mastercard holders were granted access for a special presale on February 12 for the London and Paris shows.[36] Ten additional dates were added due to the high demand, including fifth and sixth shows in London, a fifth concert each in Inglewood and East Rutherford, third and fourth shows in Atlanta, a third concert each in Paris and Chicago,[37][38][39] and two subsequent shows in Las Vegas.[40] With the added dates, Beyoncé broke the record for the most shows in a single run at MetLife and Mercedes-Benz stadiums in East Rutherford and Atlanta, respectively.[39][41] In preparation for the general sale, fans booked time off work and crowd-sourced data to track ticket prices.[42] In the UK, it was estimated that 6.2 million fans would miss out on tickets.[43] According to Billboard, while some fans criticized high ticket prices, the tour saw "impressive" sales, estimating a gross of over $325 million.[44] All three Paris shows at Stade de France sold out within minutes, totalling 240,000 tickets sold.[45] Some media outlets reported slow sales.[b] Live Nation reported that sales surpassed the million mark by mid-March 2025, with 94% of tickets being sold.[49]

Nope, just the opposite (from a Google search): Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter Tour has been a resounding success. The tour is already making history and breaking records, with her Los Angeles run at SoFi Stadium earning $55.7 million, according to VIBE.com. It is the highest-grossing reported single-venue engagement by a woman in Billboard Boxscore history, says KTLA5 https://ktla. com/entertainment/beyonces-cowboy-carter-tour- breaks-another-record/.

The winners of the AMA are chosen by voters and many pop and rock music fans also like Country (I do). Cowboy Carter was critically acclaimed and hugely successful reaching #1 on the US Billboard 200 Album Charts and was ranked #5 on Billboard's 2024 Top Country Albums list. In addition, from Wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cowboy_Carter#Charts The album increased the listenership of country music, drove cultural conversations on Black musicians' place within the genre, boosted the careers of rising country artists, and increased the popularity of Western wear and culture.

He wasn't really chosen (you make it sound a vote was taken by the left). It was a matter of public outrage on both sides of the political spectrum. This was the 5 year anniversary of his death at the hands of Chauvin, which is the reason for the renewed media coverage. He has gotten the attention over other victims with smaller rap sheets or no rap sheets at all because his brutal murder by Chauvin was captured on video and got at least 10 million views (probably ten times that). Everyone saw what is essentially a public execution of an unarmed man. That image (with Chauvin's boot on his neck for 8/12 minutes) is an image no can forget who has seen it. The video is what convicted Chauvin of murder. This is what separates it from the 100's of other murders that happen every day and maybe the dozen each year that are done by LEOs.

Unbelievable. On second thought maybe not. https://apnews.com/article/trump-south-africa-refugees-afrikaners-white-9d6f87ae9b09ac21ba6ae2a2197b11d3 Trump is bringing white South Africans to the US as refugees, but what persecution are they facing? CAPE TOWN, South Africa (AP) — The Trump administration is bringing a small number of white South Africans to the United States as refugees next week in what it says is the start of a larger relocation effort for a minority group who are being persecuted by their Black-led government because of their race. The South Africans’ applications are being fast-tracked by the U.S. after President Donald Trump announced the relocation program in February. The Trump administration has taken an anti-migrant stance, suspending refugee programs and halting arrivals from other parts of the world, including Iraq, Afghanistan and most countries in sub-Saharan Africa. Refugee groups have questioned why some white South Africans are being prioritized. South Africa says there’s no persecution The South African government said the U.S. allegations that the white minority Afrikaners in question are being persecuted are “completely false,” the result of misinformation and an inaccurate view of its country. It cited the fact that Afrikaners are among the richest and most successful people in the country, and said they are amongst “the most economically privileged.” Afrikaners are the descendants of mainly Dutch and French colonial settlers who first came to South Africa in the 17th century. There are around 2.7 million Afrikaners among South Africa’s population of 62 million, which is more than 80% Black. Many in South Africa are puzzled by claims that Afrikaners are persecuted and meet the requirements to be refugees. [...] So what persecution is the U.S. alleging? Farm attacks Trump and his South African-born adviser Elon Musk have accused the South African government of having racist anti-white laws and policies, but the claims of persecution center on a relatively small number of violent farm attacks and robberies on white people in rural communities. The U.S. alleges those attacks are racially motivated and the South African government is “fueling” them by allowing anti-white rhetoric from some political parties not in government and not doing enough to protect rural Afrikaner communities. The government strongly denies that and has condemned the farm attacks, but says their cause is being deliberately mischaracterized. Violent attacks on farm owners in South Africa have been a problem for years but represent a small percentage of the country’s extremely high violent crime rates, which affect all races. The government says there is no targeting of white people in South Africa and no persecution, and farm attacks are part of its struggles with violent crime. An Afrikaner group called AfriForum records farm attacks and said there were 49 farm homicides in South Africa in 2023. Those are set against a total of more than 20,000 homicides in South Africa a year. Experts say rural communities are susceptible to crime because of their remoteness and less police presence, but Black farm owners and workers are also killed in violent robberies.

No, that is not what I was saying, that is a mischaracterization of what I did say, aka Straw Man. And if you want to me to respond or have any discussion in the future, then don't refer to me as "her" or "she" (my preferred pronouns are "he" or "him")

Yes it was, you were directing that to me and others who think George Floyd deserves a moment of silence at a public event. Your exact words: 'So we're supposed to weight a death more heavily if it's caught on camera." I never said or suggested that "we" are suppose to weigh a death more heavily if it is caught on camera. That is your mischaractization of what was said and that is a Straw Man.

No Straw Man.

Very common with people who lack the empathy gene.
