You never hear people say, "Why don't you go back to Ireland, Scotland etc."

The reason? Most of the poor whites in America can trace their ancestry to those two countries as their ancestors immigrated to the United States in poverty and settled in as hillbilly/rednecks who were looked down upon by the more affluent English and Dutch settlers/colonists.

Thus, their modern-day descendents are merely diffusing this racist bigotry towards later arriving immigrants of color including the descendents of African slaves (African Americans).

It is a perverse self-esteem issue that we have come to associate with undereducated, inbred, and impoverished white people who also support Donald Trump.

Tribalism is rife. We must start looking at each other without thinking about their heritage. We are all humans. We are all much more the same than we are different. We must enjoy the differences but embrace our similarities.

The woman with the laptop is mentally ill and well known in the community. Calling her actions a hate crime is ludicrous.

1) If she has a laptop computer, why is she panhandling?

To source funds for a better internet service or data plan?


(2) And if she is mentally ill, why hasn't she been sequestered in a sanitarium?

After 15 years of marriage and countless verbal abuses over innumerable trivialities, I have been asking myself the same question.

not surprising how the press are silent about the attack on capital hill, everyone assumes it's a white male ( this is called profiling) , But surprise it's not.

The suspect appears to be African American and the news mentioned something about him being a disgruntled member of the Nation of Islam, Louis Farrakhan's organization.

So now we are dealing with white supremacy, black supremacy and Islamists (again)?

What is going on (or wrong) with this country?

A tragic tale of a troubled young black man who tried to convey the pervasive racism in America.

One disturbed African American compared to 8,000 disturbed white MAGA supporters storming the Capitol?

Do the math. BLM.

My goodness these comments are fascinating. Collective guilt, proposed dispossession, ignorance of the bubble you folks reside in.... keep em coming! (Loudly munches popcorn)

Feldstein, I feel the same way about the Jewish Bolsheviks who murdered millions of my Christian, Russian ancestors. Perhaps we should do as shawonda demands and follow your bloodline for accountability?

Do any of you see how insane this ^ is?

I'm fairly certain Larry David and Sarah Silverman and Joan Rivers and so forth, never murdered anyone.

Ah, but they benefited from the agony of others via multi generational wealth! Now they need to pay! What? You say they didn’t personally hurt anyone? They made their own way independent of their ancestors? Hmmm, but I’ve been assured “you didn’t build that.” Or do the arguments above only work against whitey?

Either we have principled arguments or we’re just a mob with a blood libel.

Yeah, but John McCain was a Republican, and if it weren't for his thumbs up, what about Obama Care?

Can we at least agree that you guys are just playing dozens, although usually there were more laughs with that, and not going out later and attacking strangers?

Stein, the old “the rich had it coming” defense? What does that mean for your Uber wealthy Palo Alto neighbors? Your own tribe? Can you find ways to justify their family’s executions as easily as you just did the Romanovs? Pretty sick.

Ms. Moore: the “all white” MAGA movement scored the most minority votes for a Republican Prez in history. Ignorance mixed with bias is an ugly look for you.
