Congratulations you did a google search

The house first votes on all bills in America. The final vote was 95-4. Once the senate votes it cannot be changed unless the president vetoes it. Again another google search would confirm this


This is not a Google research.

I got these from the congress document using duckduckgo

Google is fakenews and censorship, use google at your own risk

The final vote was 235-195 Democrats were the majority that supported the imprisonment of black people. What a shame.

Oh my goodness are you dumb. Have you stepped a foot in america. Native Americans are not black Americans. Native Americans are the red indians. This is their land. I’m really shocked at how stupid that answer was. Have you seen a red indian before? Common dude huge difference between black Americans and native Americans. Please google pictures of a Native American. Pls don’t say that in America ppl will look at you like your crazy

Elaborate on what you mean by tax debt. Because last time I checked most Americans get refunds only ppl filling as self employed have tax debt......their tax debt was still freaking high


J111333:
You work at Turbotax and yet you don't know that interest rate on 1040 tax debt dropped from 5% to 3% early this year under Trump administration which brought tax relief to a lot of Americans that owe the IRS.
You claim to know too much but seem to know very little. Bye

Everything they give to blacks they want to make it seem as if they are doing them a favor. If covid-19 had affected only Africa, I'm very sure the white folks would have been boasting by now how they helped prevent Africans from going into extinction. Even though Africans have their fundamental weaknesses, but that is not to ignore other talents that are abundant in the continent. If more black people are given a chance in the Biden's government, it is a call to service, not a favor.

Native Americans are spread across the US, Canada, Mexico and South America and even in 49th state, Alaska. They are not blacks, Christopher Columbus who is historically the founder of America found them here in the US (some dispute it , that it was Despuge sp?) The black slaves came much later. I think Biden is making a mistake by adding so many people of color in his administration, America is not ready for all of that, hence Trump and his followings who are bent on keeping their white heritage.

actually a citizen can do that... that's one of the reasons there are many asians, indians, africans .e.t.c. in positions that should originally go to black americans..
Read my comment again especially about one's duration in the States. Those Indians and Asians are likely born in the States or they migrated as kids when it was still easy to inculcate American values in their systems. You can't compare them to those that landed in America yesterday as full grown adults.
Yes you can apply but trust me, you will be given one silly reason for not hiring you.

These agencies do background check going back at least 10years and because you've just stayed few years in the States with limited history, they will rather not waste resources extending their background check to the shores of Nigeria.

You can't compare yourself with a first generation black American who was born and raised in America with full history on record.

its not propaganda...

look at the world map, india is very far from the two american continents..

besides you said "Read about" that means whatever book you read described the people as "red indians" which means the author or authors are most likely euro-americans or whyte people..

historically, whyte people have a passion for dis-crediting the progress of Africans or black people... just like they destroyed the nose of statues in Egypt...

the people you call red indians are actually originally Africans but over time have been replaced by euro-americans who wear feathers on their heads and act weird...

Lol I don’t have any victim mentality. I live a blessed life, I have a degree and I’m getting my masters . I have my own stuff and I’m still very young. I have white friends and we get along fine.
Don’t assume to know me dude. Fact is black ppl work harder to get promoted here. Yale was literally sued for accepting white ppl with lower marks than black ppl. Yale accepts a white man with 75 score but declines a black boy with 85 score .... that’s a race issue




If you don't have a victim mentality, you wont claim black people have to work harder to prove a point.

Only people with victim mentality blame white people fir their problems.

Black people get affirmative action to get into yale and other ivy league schools ,nothing special. Where they lower the standards for them to be admitted.

And the lawsuit you mentioned wasn't about black ans white but against discrimination against Asians who were put in high standards for them to be admitted to yale.

Yale violated civil rights law by using race as a “determinative factor” in its admissions process, alleging it disadvantaged Asian American and white applicants.


All persons who apply for admission to colleges and universities should expect and know that they will be judged by their character, talents, and achievements and not the color of their skin.

If thesw rule is applied many black people wont be stepping foot in yale.

CNN acting the script given them since decision was made to move against Trump.

Maybe it escaped your eyes, but sometimes in early February when USA was just registering its first coronavirus case, a Nairalnder made a comment that Trump will lose reelection because of Coronavirus.

I dismissed it then because I thought America might not be as hard hit as it presently is but I guess I was wrong.

There are many secret agents here on this forum who are privy to so many classified information and I'm sure that guy was aware of something we didn't know.

Again, I'm of the view that Pfizer deliberately delayed announcement of their vaccine to make sure Trump loses. Or why did they make the announcement just barely one week after the elections.

The forces against Trump prepared for him long ago. And these guys are not just after Trump, they are after something more.

Are you sure you file taxes for people or you work in Admin dept of Turbotax?
A lot of Americans owe the IRS because of tax underpayment. Many others owe because they don't even have clues on how to adjust their W4s, get your facts right.

As for the interest rate thing. People were having difficulties paying back tax debts because IRS interest rate was at 5% until recently when it was dropped to 3%.

Nobody gave Trump that credit till today.
