Why do we have variants titled geographically?
I listed Covid-19 variants.
Where was the original virus
Why did Xibiden drop investigation of the wuhan virus.
Why do we have an Ethiopian leading the investigation .
The first 3 cases of covid-19 were in WIV ( Wuhan Institute of Virology).

You are a very misinformed cultist.

Spanish flu originated in Kentucky, USA. It was only called Spanish Flu because the Spanish press were the only ones to report on it originally. Other countries were hiding it because they were fighting World War 1 and were hiding it so as not to look decimated to their enemies.

The whole world came together and agreed not to name viruses after countries so as not to inflame racial tensions. It is written into WHOs rules for naming viruses.

Swine Flu originated in Mexico in 2010 and killed many old people, nobody named it Mexican Flu.

Ebola was in Sierra Leone/Liberia and even reached Nigeria. Nobody named it Umudike virus. I'm sure you would have been offended if that was the case.

HIV supposedly originated in Africa, nobody called it Africa virus to racebait you.

SARs and bird flu came out of China, no President dogwhistled them.

Until the diarrhoea mouth racist orange pig came and made you type this ill informed nonsense above.

There is a reason why I call you Trumpanzees cockroaches, cos you are amoeba brained cultists. And you had the nerve to tag this piece of trash you parroted from a Supremacist website COMMONSENSE. Spits.

What are covid-19 variants

aren't you denying racism? Really? undecided I called an inherently racist article racist and you deny and downplay its racism saying or rather implying that liberals and more specifically black liberals use racism as an excuse. If many challenges of black Americans can't be attributed to racism conscious or unconscious even when the victims say it is then racism can not be the cause of these challenges according to you and as such logically that racism doesn't exist since it is only an imagined excuse! So, aren't you denying racism by that logic?
What law blocks blacks from achieving their potential?
Waiting....

Just to add. I work for some whitey large family business. I have reached the top echelon but i cant rise above that because hey Im not going to implement budget plans for a family business that pays me better than the dogs of some people here. Racist. Yea to an extent but its family business so Im OK .

Georgia. 147000 mail in votes to be rescanned at 600 dpi instead of 200dpi.
Six affidavits sworn with claims of 30k of the 147k being fake.
Saw machine printed ballots 97% to Joe Biden and these ballots were not folded.

I just want the truth. Joe Biden won by 11k in Georgia. In 2016 Trump won by around 200k votes.

---What's the latest on Arizona audit----

Tech company running Arizona ballot recount backs out: 'They were done'

The Pennsylvania-based IT company that was in charge of running the hand recount of Maricopa County ballots is no longer involved in the audit.

The contract with Wake Technology Services, Inc. ended May 14, the original completion date for the hand count, and the company chose not to renew its contract, according to Randy Pullen, an audit spokesperson and former state GOP chair.

"They were done," he said. "They didn't want to come back."

Wake TSI was the subcontractor that developed and oversaw the procedures for recounting the county's nearly 2.1 million ballots, working under Cyber Ninjas, the state Senate's main contractor performing the overall audit of the county's general election results.

The audit was on break from May 14 until Monday, as high school graduations took place in the coliseum.

The state Senate hired Cyber Ninjas, a Florida-based company run by a Trump supporter, to conduct the recount. Cyber Ninjas contracted Wake TSI to count votes.

The recount is still underway, but Wake TSI's contract ended on May 14, the same day that the hand recount was expected to conclude, and the company has chose to let the contract expire, the Arizona Republic reported.

"They were done," Randy Pullen, an audit spokesperson, told the outlet. "They didn't want to come back."

Insider has contacted Wake TSI for comment.

Pullen told the Arizona Republic that StratTech Solutions, an Arizona IT company, had taken over Wake TSI's work on Monday.

As of May 21, only about 500,000 of the 2.1 million ballots had been recounted https://eu.azcentral.com/story/news/politics/elections/2021/05/25/cyber-ninjas-subcontractor-strattech-solutions-takes-over-arizona-election-audit-hand-count/7429980002/
They are not the only ones who can count. Is not rocket science
Maybe what they saw during the count was so shocking to them.
Or
They saw nothing wrong. Which in this case they should have gladly finished counting.

Now I'm convinced this bob knows so little but talks too loud.
It is the Grand jury PROCEEDINGS that's done in secret not the knowledge or announcement that a grand jury is convening. It has never been a secret to know a grand jury is getting together, at least it has been reported late last year when Cy Vance tried getting trumps taxes. This is how cultists generate fake news and faux outrage.
They are not secret but generally not leaked to media. This is a political witchhunt .

Has Trump put out a statement yet,concerning the grand jury that has been called to table his case.

If he has I will like to read the hilarious reply grin
A grand. jury to sit for 6 months after investigating him for 2 years. . Must be a fishing expedition.

grand juries when empanelled are usually kept secret but for Trump it had to be leaked.Thus showing Trump as a potential law breaker.

Keyboard millionaires will tell you how they can feed your whole family in Umudike then cry racism when they see far less than what they do to others.
They tell you how family is out of bounds but a little search will show you how they insult people's family and whole generation because they live in diaspora. It is hilarious.

No ammount of explanation you can give will validate this crap you said. You should write a book or article about it because you will be the first to make this claim.

All the literature I have read concerning this matter non of them talk about stories of grandpa and grandma. They only talk about hardwork and educational achievements.
When we look down on each other, we accept that as normal. Like constantly Africans are "brought down to the earth " by african dishwashers in diaspora.
If it was a white, the racist meter instantly goes up for any tiny microaggression a white has.
Race baiting is big business too. Hoaxers abound like below in order to push the racism further .

In the incident that media are ignoring , if it was whitey that did this , coverage would be 24 hours non stop in all MSM. We can assume these two black thugs git triggered by a grandma's tale? Must be dumb guys.They could not paint the swastika correctly?I assume they were paid to drive a narrative

you have a pathological inability to understand anything that doesn't conform to your rigid one dimensional way of thinking! Prideoflincoln1 is successful, academically and professionally as is buhdda I presume, does that make them discount racism? In what dystopian world of yours does personal success of a black man equate immunity from racism? undecided because they succeeded despite racism therefore racism gave them a wide berth abi? LeBron James still suffers racism, I'm sure if he were honest even Ben Carson will grudgingly admit he encounters racism! Black cops get shot and harassed by white cops of duty, black pregnant women who have had at least one childbirth experience prefer being attended to by black ob/gyn rather than whites as they tend to dismiss their pains wrongly believing black women have a higher threshold for pain than women of other races leading to a higher maternal/infant mortality rate in black women and babies than average! There is racism in places that you won't expect benalvino2! Don't use your very limited understanding of the topic as a yardstick to measure the general experience because you effing jon snow here!

Rich people look down on their employees say in Africa. Bosses who are employees also look down on lower level employees. Housewives without jobs or even education look down on their househelps.Some Africans abroad think they are better than those in Africa , despite some of them having crappy jand dirty jobs there.
African American s will also look on African immigrants.

Talk about Arabs. They are quite racist in the middle East metting out physical violence at times to other races.
As an African and black too expect some negative thoughts going on in other races mind's.

Anti-semitism is not for the jews alone. Arabs are semites as well. Jews remember the holocaust but they don't blame it or cry about Germany every day. They have Moved on.

It is in the history, something we learn but jews don't act like Hitler is still sending them to concentration camps today.

It is easy to move on. Nobody alive today experienced slavery in the US. And if they don't move on they will continue with the divide and hatred.

Let me ask you. Why anger for slavery ends at the white man? What about the ancestors who captured to black men and women, make them slaves before selling them to white men?
The article states that black people have been given a lot of opportunities to advance themselves for example getting entrance to Ivy Leagues among others.

Nigerians went to America on a clean slate, not with a father, cousin, brother, grandfather in jail, not with parents heavily indebted with mortgage loans, not with a sister in rehabilitation for drug use, not with the portrait of a grandfather's junior brother who was lynched, not with the portrait of an uncle who died in Vietnam at age 18, not with the knowledge of that bro still in the hood who went to college but is still jobless because his family doesn't have any old boy connections and his name is too niggerish white employers automatically know he's black and won't call him back despite multiple applications, not with the knowledge that growing up you know a childhood friend who was shot by the police or another who sold drugs to feed, not with the depression and hopelessness these life experiences burdens you with like the belief that your life isn't worth anything, that no matter how hard you struggle or how right you do you won't succeed unless you are a rapper or basketballer. Yes Nigerians have a relatively clean slate and can afford to be goal oriented with very little distractions.
And also we compare black with whites because they're opposite sides in terms of opportunities Asians have largely been ignored and allowed to thrive in the middle
Long stereotype. When you are faced with problems you work hard.
When everything is offered on a silver platter most will tend to relax especially if they don't have a mentor or role model.

Claiming you are jobless because all your college mates are still not employed is self defeatist.Though it depends on the course undertaken.Pray how many openings are available for specializations like how leaks of oil pipelines underground can poison drinking water?Or how building a wall will affect a rare species of butterflies,

did Stalin and chairman Mao specifically say those policies were derived from theoretical communist ideologies they were enforcing or was it a product of expediences and political machinations? China has a communist government, is their economic success now a product of textbook communism also? You see where this argument can lead to abi? Because if communism can be responsible for the ills then in fairness it should also be responsible for the successes
Mao Ze Dong?
China ruling party is communist.
Their market is liberalized with private entrepreneurs getting their ROI.
Ditto Russia.

That change from total govt control came after they watched how other capitalist countries had advanced .
In any case not every Russian was a communist. When they came to power they enforced communism , and retain power forcefully. Same case to China. Once communists acquired power they enforced it on the populace.

how is it marxist in nature? communism in its most austere form is undesirable, so is unbridled capitalism. Why don't you talk about the evils of capitalism too? Your claim that Marxism and communism killed 90million is unfounded though. Correct me if you may

For me socialism is the way, a regulated private sector with a government sector pooling resources through taxation to guarantee basic necessities
Capitalism has lifted more people out of poverty than socialism/communism or marxism.

Stalin starved Ukraine, killed millions by forcibly taking over their crop production . His aim. We have to break the peasants back.

Mao Ze dong is estimated to have killed 65m Chinese with his Great. Leap Forward plan.

Cambodia, Cuba, Vietnam and other communist countries have killed millions.

not what the article is implying? undecided reading most definitely isn't understanding! cry ''talking about blacks lacking the inclination and skills to become neurosurgeons as compared to basketballers'' implied what else then my learned friend? The entire article is overtly and inherently racist and only parrots the tropes of white supremacists when they talk about issues agitated for by black Americans, this article can never and will never quote any academic or peer reviewed study post civil right movement as inference neither can it quote any reputable statistics collating body because all that jargon are just talking tropes and opinions of white supremacists and nothing else, I am ashamed for bascilico that as a black man he can descend this low to quote this vile racist rubbish in a bid to justify an indefensible stance.
This article if you are even allowed to call it that totally divorces cause from effect, and the causes it ascribes to certain effects are at best misdirections and misrepresentations! Saying things like the break up of the black family unit happened in and of itself without mentioning the requirements for black family units to benefit from government housing projects, the stifling of the blue collar jobs in the manufacturing sector which black men benefited from, the removal of blue collar/vocational education from the school curriculum! The targeted flooding of black neighbourhoods with drugs by the F.B.I under Hoover and subsequent directors might look like isolated issues but when put together any analyst worth his certifications will deduce the sinister govt backed progrom aimed directly at black people especially the black man, juxtaposed with the proliferation of private prison coys, prison labour and targeted arresting and incarceration if coloured people to feed the prison system you still blame black people for the multigenerational effects of all these apparently not stand alone policies? I have not even talked about redlining, denial of access to credit, sabotage of black businesses and start ups, murder, lynching, destruction of any black centres of excellence or any symbols of black excellence like black wall st in Tulsa of recent memory, Richmond in Virginia e.t.c you are here parroting racist narratives that have long been discredited and rebutted and this exactly is why critical race theory should be exhaustively taught and dissected in all schools or the problems of the past and present will still be present in the future, you can not divorce the challenges of today's black Americans from multigenerational frustrations by white policy makers neither can you divorce the advantages of the modern day white Americans from the multigenerational pro white policies of white policy makers.

Thanks to social media in this internet age people have eyes to judge things for themselves.

This current conflict really exposed them,they bombed a media and residential building knowing that Gaza is densely populated they had one elevator and were given less than an hour to flee with those number of people.The international community kept mute but Belarus arrested a journalist Eu and USA is flexing muscles the one that happened in Gaza is that not also an attack on Press freedom?

They kept mute saying Isreal has a right to defend itself against an occupied people with no military but terrorist who were even provoked to throw rockets.Now people are saying that Belarus too has a right to defend itself.You can see the hypocrisy right?

I was really disappointed in their response to Gaza and the shameful silence to what Isreal was doing
please show a single statement from AP or AL Jazeera showing Israel in a positive light.
An 11 story building with one Lift.An hour to evacuate. Israel called tenants in that building, sent texts to them and even sent a missile without a warhead to tell the tenants to evacuate. Which other military does that. Warn civilians to get out of the way?
Oh there was one . When the Americans dropped a nuclear bomb they had adviced the Japanese to evacuate.
AP is a media house.they knew Hamas had offices there.

As for the AP building, yes, Hamas operatives lives in that building.
Mahmood Abbas pays millions of dollars to Palestinians who kill Jews and get killed/jailed in the process. Is this the person to negotiate with. UNRWA schools teach young children to kill Joos too.

Hamas is even worse and media reporting against Israel emboldens them. 20% of their love rockets misfired and landed on their own territory. Casualties? Most likely.

Everything there is blocked off and even the tunnel that leads to Egypt. What pisses me off is the loudmouths here shouting God of Israel while Isreali are protecting themselves with the Iron Dome given to them by the US. Both sides needs to elect moderate leaders and start meaningful dialogue that will result in two independent States and stop this pogrom Isreal is doing to the Palestinians.
