@PalominoOMG @SecKennedy Well, it was Obama who you all took the lead from. I dont think he was for White people having families.

@wselak @SecKennedy Men are supposed to lead. So if the women are failing, they're not being lead properly.

Happy Father’s Day to the dads and father figures raising the next generation. Healthy families are the foundation of a healthy nation. Thank you for leading with purpose, setting an example, and helping children thrive. Together, we can Make America Healthy Again.

@PalominoOMG @SecKennedy Women actually failed the veterans when they got home from gwot, they turned to SJWs, BLM, Metoo. Half the women aged 30 do not have kids. There's another war coming up so I doubt women will be for it.

@SecKennedy Bring back the FAMILY in this country.

@Erik_Quill Yah.

Guess where your "safer band" got their inspiration from

Oldowan Gash 2020 Nothing but exceptional.

@VdeBarak The lead singer is amazing on first listen.

The atmosphere of despair in the last track, Fortress of Ignorance, is simply perfect.

The indigenous called him “Conotocaurius”, Devourer of Villages. He was built like an inside linebacker, 6ft and 220lbs. And his personal motto was, “Exitus Acta Probat” - the outcome justifies the means. He is the standard.

@GamingDude00 @Leaflit It's something they couldn't handle either.

@Leaflit Most of us just want to live in a chill PVE server, not some 24/7 PVP deathmatch zone. The "real men throw down" nostalgia is getting old.

We don’t want to live in a PVP zone, retard.

@aaron_Gracie11 @BenGodin64 @RadioGenoa People shouldn't have to live.. You yourself could be beaten to an inch of your life, and you would want justice too.. Putting your youth in a warzone is a failure on the your generations you left something worse than you found it.

@BenGodin64 @RadioGenoa I don’t have an answer for you. In my day, We would have all been throwing down win or lose. Not sure what happened to this generation. Afraid of Combat…….?? 🤷‍♂️

White people are not safe anywhere.

@EdwardOfIran5 @GordonGChang When you say American first you mean white me just say it you fool. But no we fought in the gwot for 20 years and got femininism to this day. The non whites should all go our white vets need to have families.

China's invasion of Taiwan 🇹🇼 is imminent! Not the matter of if it is only matter of when! Unless "America First" dudes show up with a MoU and give it away without a fight! China will overtake the lead from The US! No morals whatsoever in politics rendered The US worse than China!

China is fast preparing for world domination. The West, on the other hand, is dithering.

@GordonGChang Of course b/c when we got home from the gwot our president was barrack Obama wanted rap and sjw time and not replacing America with the veterans. We had all kinds of movements to make us go into decline. Commentators say it regularly. So why can’t our women hook up with us now?

@hempyhope @bya3k @Clavicular0 Then why can’t modern western white women do this??

@bya3k @Clavicular0 This

I need to become more interesting so I can carry convos better, im fucking brutal rn

@bya3k @Clavicular0 If only women practiced what they preached America wouldn’t be in the position it’s in today. Just another women whose going to f it up and bring America down with her. Good job

@Clavicular0 you can’t become more interesting until you become authentic, but you’re whole shtick is being someone you aren’t.

@5wattoo @MarioNawfal you cant dance to that?

@MarioNawfal South Korean appear like affluent degenerates while North Koreans look like decent but not wealthy folks.

In 2018, during a rare cultural exchange between the two countries, North Koreans got to experience the South Korean K-Pop group Red Velvet for the first time Their reactions were priceless 🤣 Writer: Ian

@MarioNawfal that groove sound 🕺

@Mary4gentleness @JohnHMcWhorter No murderer is redeemable that's the dumbest thing to say.

@JohnHMcWhorter The whole thing is unbearably sad and he is guilty but 35 years is too long. He's redeemable.

Folks, I'd like to get my two cents in on Karmelo Anthony. This is a long one -- pretend it's an editorial. “He put his hands on me. I stabbed him.” Why does a boy spontaneously justify stabbing someone on so thin a pretense? And why do so many Black Americans see his 35-year prison sentence as racist? I think the answer to both questions takes us to Scotland, Ireland, and northern England. At a track meet at Kuykendall Stadium in Frisco, Texas in April of last year, Anthony sat down under a team’s tent. Anthony was neither on the team nor a student at its school, and an unwritten but widely known rule is that only team members are permitted under a team tent. Multiple student witnesses – and not just “whitenesses,” as several were Black -- testified about what happened next. Anthony was told several times to leave the tent but refused, including a profane epithet, culminating in warning “Touch me and see what happens.” Team member Austin Metcalf shoved Anthony, who pulled a knife out of his bag, stabbed him in the chest, threw the knife into the stands and ran away. Caught by the police, he immediately admitted to the stabbing, reportedly saying “He put his hands on me. I stabbed him.” Metcalf died in his twin brother’s arms. There is no reason to think Anthony was trying to kill Metcalf. He was trying to hurt him severely, putting him in the hospital, for shoving him, as he indicated in at first saying "He's not gonna die." Also, claims such as prosecutor Bill Wirskye’s that Anthony meant “Touch me and see what happens” as a provocation are based on a misreading of Black English. “Touch me and see what happens” is not a command to touch. It means “If you touch me, you will find out.” The question is why Anthony thought being pushed justified sinking a knife into Metcalf’s body. The answer is the culture of “disrespect” in young Black male culture, documented by many (including black sociologists). His calculus was "If he even touches me, I am disrespected, and will respond in destructive kind." The idea is that being dissed merits what we might phrase as cutting someone a new one. There is no reason to suppose that this is due to Black people having some inborn propensity to violence. The Black economist Thomas Sowell has traced the “disrespect” culture to the whites from the “Celtic Fringe” – an area comprising parts of northern England, Scotland, and Ulster County in Ireland -- who migrated to the South starting in the 1700s and established plantations (or worked on them as indentured servants). Black people, often enslaved, worked alongside and around them and their American-born descendants. At this time (although certainly not now), whites from the Celtic Fringe area had the same tripwire response to being dissed – “touchy pride” -- as well as many other traits now commonly associated with “gangsta” Black culture. In his classic study of early migrants to America “Albion’s Seed,” the historian David Hackett Fisher referred to the oppressed people of this northern borderland region, encompassing Scotland, northern England and Ulster County in Ireland, as “some of the most disorderly inhabitants of a deeply disordered land.” “Manliness and the forceful projection of that manliness to others – an advertisement of one’s willingness to fight and even to put one’s life on the line – were at least plausible means of gaining whatever level of security was possible in a lawless region and a violent time,” Sowell notes. Hundreds of thousands of people from this region migrated to America starting in the early 1700s, eventually migrating to the South. Many establishedplantations and bought enslaved Black people to work on them. Referring often to the scholarly and sympathetic study of this “cracker” culture in America by the historian Grady McWhiney, Sowell notes that they manifested “a touchiness about anything that might be even remotely construed as a personal slight, much less an insult, combined with a willingness to erupt into violence over it.” The step is short between that and “He put his hands on me. I stabbed him.” It is hard not to see the parallel between the “cracker” culture and the sociologist Elijah Anderson’s study of late twentieth century Black culture of “the streets,” where “respect is viewed as almost an external entity that is hard-won but easily lost, and so must constantly be guarded. (...) Many of the forms that dissing can take might seem petty to middle-class people (maintaining eye contact for too long, for example), but to those invested in the street code, these actions become serious indications of the other person's intentions. Consequently, such people become very sensitive to advances and slights, which could well serve as warnings of imminent physical confrontation.” Sowell argues that enslaved Blacks would have internalized these norms from the whites they worked with and lived around. It might seem hard to imagine whites and Blacks sharing a culture on the kind of plantation familiar from dramatic depictions, where legions of Black people worked in the fields while whites were their owners and overseers. However, in reality, relationships between whites and Blacks, while fraught and founded in pitiless domination, allowed for degrees of interchange and familiarity. Plantations varied massively in size, and white children and Black ones grew up playing together, even influencing one another’s speech. Black sociologist W.E.B. DuBois’ survey of Black Philadelphia in the 1890s, as well as studies afterward, shows that until the 1960s, the “cracker” inheritance from whites was largely confined to the least advantaged and segregated Black people. However, for the past several decades, aspects of the “disrespect culture” have had influence even among middle-class Black people. For one, the Black middle class vastly increased after the Civil Rights victories of the 1960s, and therefore, for most middle class Black people, poverty remains only a few generations back. Culture does not always change in lockstep with income. Add to this that in the 1960s, many Black people rejected the old idea that our goal was to assimilate to mainstream (i.e. white) norms. Rather than engaging in what is often called respectability politics, many Black people embraced the idea of a separate Black identity – and one aspect of that was the chip-on-the-shoulder style. This all meant that these days, a Black boy hardly needs to grow up in the ‘hood to internalize aspects of what Sowell calls “redneck” culture. This includes the tripwire sensitivity to being “disrespected.” This informs how so many black commenters on the trial and sentence seem to not quite process the horror of Metcalf’s murder. Representative Jasmine Crockett thinks the length of the sentence is racist – as if a white boy shivving a Black boy to death would only get a slap on the hand -- focusing on the fact that the knife was not especially large and that Anthony only stabbed once. Martin Luther King’s daughter Berenice King opines that the main lesson from the episode is racial disparities in the justice system. Many online revile that none of the jurors were Black. But it is reasonable to think that they would have liked that a representative number of jurors would pardon Anthony as representing his “disrespect culture,” and thus less culpable than a teen of any other race in America? If so, they are less progressive than retrograde, if we are really to get past race. Dr. King didn’t die demanding that whites make excuses for us. What’s missing in these opinions is thoughts that would occur readily to the outside observer. How about if Anthony hadn’t been carrying a knife at all? How about Anthony just getting up and leaving, or just shoving back rather than hauling out a weapon? But under the “disrespect” culture, even in the background as a tacit sentiment, the idea that Anthony could simply have done what he was told seems an almost unreasonable expectation based on respectability politics. And frankly, I venture that there another resonance in the air: that on a certain level we are supposed to see Anthony’s deed in the light of slavery, Jim Crow and George Floyd, and other disrepectings upon us as a group. Karmelo Anthony drank in this way of thinking subconsciously in the way that we all grow into the culture we are born into. He doubtless incorporated countless elements of Black culture that are positive or even just neutral. But one of them was this notion of what it is to be a man, which made sense in some upper reaches of what we now know as the United Kingdom centuries ago, but doesn’t work in modern American society. The sports journalist Jemele Hill advises “We need to be having conversations with our young black boys about emotional regulation and decision making and discernment and wisdom.” Black women often give their boys “The Talk” about obeying what cops demand. But that talk needs to come with a second one – there need to be “The Talks.” Young Black men need to be told not to fall for the idea that being dissed justifies physical violence. That, and not the persistence of racism, is what Karmelo Anthony’s fate should teach us. If you did, thanks for staying with me until the end!

@JohnHMcWhorter Blacks just need rapper to tell them to kill that's it.. They need very little to kill people whether it be from social media or news media too, hell they could even be proven wrong and still claim they were in the right. You can look in western Europe or America it's not unique

@VinceDaoTV So true

Never forget that “Juneteenth” started in 2020 because race communists weaponized an obscure holiday to cancel Trump’s Tulsa rally and call us racist for not knowing what it was (nobody did). Anyone remember that? They said Trump was invoking the Tulsa Race Riots by holding a rally on the same day of an unrelated Texas holiday. It was one of their many ploys to “borrow” the 2020 Election. Then, everyone during 2021 Peak Woke just forced a federal holiday into existence. All but 8 Republicans voted for it, even. We don’t remember how bad things used to be. Peak Woke now feels like a fever dream, but this was real, and we shouldn’t forget it. It will return quickly if the right doesn’t value victory.

This country is so laughable. Our leaders and some of our problem peoples just don't take life seriously. It's not fair and the consequences is something the serious ppl have to take care of.. It's beyond dumb, but it's out there for the world to see so what are we going to do about it?

You need an ID to verify your residency at Barack Obama’s Presidential library but not to verify your identity and citizenship to vote in U.S. elections. Got it.

@Michael24521649 @joncoopertweets @BarackObama Back in Bush's day we had the do nothing congress, right?

@wselak @joncoopertweets @BarackObama I never hated any president. Bush 2 was not honest and got us into a 20 year war. I didn’t vote for him that said he’s nothing like the amoral grifter we have now. VP Cheney was a different story. He was a grifter and liar.

Imagine Trump ever being invited to join a photo like this — not in a million years. Four presidents. Zero drama. Just smiles, respect, and a shared love of country. 🇺🇸

@joncoopertweets @Michael24521649 @BarackObama you boomers are all the same. as long as you have your sports your look up to black people like people to be admired. as if you didnt hate bush during his time in his presidency

@Michael24521649 @BarackObama So am I.
