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.

I live here I know way more about it than you that claims to know things based on what exactly?

Rev al sharpton supported it
Kwesi mfuime supportes it
Out of 40 black congressional caucus 28 supported it. The bill passed in senate 95 to 4 which means 95% of senate supported it republicans and democrats. Please go learn more before teaching me something that we learn in history class through out school

Living in america does not mean anything. You just want to inforce the opinion that you know what you are writing down but you don't.

Black Americans and leaders were against the bill.

Joe Biden crime bill— extended the death penalty to 60 new crimes, stiffened sentences, offered states strong financial incentives for building new prisons, and banned a range of assault weapons—helped lead to the wave of mass incarceration that’s resulted in the United States accounting for 25 percent of the world’s prison population.


Which black leaders will support this?

Obama care is a socialist plan, it makes no sense and it is a very expensive plan.

Yeah, Democrats are known to send black people to jail.

Kamala Harris is another one, she sent lot of black people to jail for silly offenses and even laughed about it, during the party primaries for the president, Tulsi Gabbard destroyed her.

For years ppl have been hired based on color and not qualifications. Biden is hiring ppl of color with similar qualifications to their white counterparts.

Take university was recently sued because they where accepting white ppl with lesser marks than black kids . They now have to pay a fine. Race issues are very Clair in America. If you don’t live here you won’t understand it. That’s why you opinion does not matter. You cannot talk about what you hv not experienced personally

emkz:


My sister, I don't live in the States, but I am not unaware of race issues therein. The crux of my argument is that they should be hired because they are qualified, not because they are qualified AND of colour. You argued along the lines of qualified blacks, but I am saying they should be treated equally and not specially. There is a movie I watched on Netflix (Something New) that highlighted this subtle racism which you alluded to in terms of loans, work environment, et al. Having also spent 12 years working abroad, these divisions are subtle, let us acknowledge them.

You describe blacks as African Americans, Chinese as Asian Americans, Latinos as Latino Americans, while others are American Americans? Are they not ALL immigrants or children of immigrants? At what point do they become full Americans? My submission is for these divisions to be abandoned so that Americans can embrace their "oneness" if it exists.

While you learnt it in school without thinking about the impact, i analysis the impact the crime bill had in the black community.

Now that you have alighted it, these people you mentioned are they good for black people and because rev al Sharpton the former Fbi informant endorsed it does it means all black people support it.

I don’t think you have sense because if you did you would do a simple google search. Swine flu was a pandemic, Ebola was a pandemic and COVID is a pandemic. Two of those happened during Obama terms and 3000 ppl died . One of those happened during trump term and 250 thousand ppl are dead... so you my friend are the one that doesn’t know what a pandemic is.

The more they try to create diversity instead of merit, the more disaster they create.

The more they try to please everyone, the more they please no one and create lot of conflict.

Diversity is a scam.

You couldn't have said it better. All those rubbish affirmative action, diversity inclusion etc are all SCAM. Black people think they are being helped with those nonsense but in reality it is the opposite.

Omg are you dumb?

Do your research black women are the most educated ppl in America. A simple google search will confirm it. Me and other black ppl have had experiences with racist companies.

You don’t live here but you assume to know everything about us because you watch news or movies. Goodness gracious. Do some research it will benefit you. [s]It’s a known fact here that if your a person of color you must work two times harder than a white person if you want a promotion[/s]


One thing I don't do with people like you is arguing.
Black women are the most educated in America, so Google tells you eekwa?

You live and work in America so why do you need Google to tell you what you see everyday?

If not for black immigrants in America, ordinary Indians sef would've relegated black Americans to the back seat in America long time ago.

Go to research institutes and great schools and count how many blacks there, deduct black immigrants and see how many black Americans remaining.

Biko leave me mek I continue watching American movies in my ogbomosho face me I face you compound in peace.

If you did you would know Social security and Medicare tax was never changed. If you saw a deduction then there’s an error in your taxes. Only 20% of working Americans said they saw a change of over $50 extra money in their paychecks. The remaining 80% saw no significant change

J111333:
I don't know so much but I saw a significant drop in taxes and SSA deductions in my paychecks since Trump pushed the tax cut policy.

If the deduction is just $20, then you might wanna check how much the person earns because it's PAYE.

Well, what you read will sway your view no doubts




Those who are on ground also will believe a particular view, for example in this same Nigeria we have people with different ideologies and each hold their beliefs based on their ideologies



You can’t say because you live in Ghana, I should accept all you tell me about Ghana hook line and sinker, your views might be shaped by your immediate environment in Ghana while I may read an objective piece of work from Ghana that addresses your own view and another


In that wise, I will even be in a better position to tell you you may not be entirely correct, then tell you about the other side.




There are some people in Nigeria who support a party based on others’ opinions, these kinda of people can’t have a holistic view abt things in the political sphere because they learnt from one side



Same as someone in the U.S, you can’t tell me you want to school me on something when you have a leaning towards a side ( it will be filled with bias)


So, what I meant is, that you stay in a place doesn’t mean I should take everything you said without thinking twice

Well as you advised ma, I checked Google and all the diseases you mentioned were not declared pandemics. There's a difference between an epidemic and a pandemic. Which I would have loved to educate you about. But I have come to realize that the most ignorant people are also the most arrogant. Have a nice day.

Most Democrats controlled state didn't feel the impact of trump tax.

Biden is coming with more tax, so so called green plan where people that don't work will be paid with your money, socialised healthcare and all other socialist initiatives.
