I had the worst flu ever in late January before it was in the news, and suspect it was Covid19 related.

Here's some research on the matter.

Funny enough Buddha, I agree with you. I get frustrated sometimes because these guys don't know what it is to live as a Black man in America and you can be a very successful Brother and a Police officer with high School or Associate degree will treat you like a drug dealer. I can't tell you how many times I will be driving my Truck and a police officer will be trailing me running my plates license. That's just a minor part of what we go through here. I am always packing and I have my FOIC with me and I got scared one day when I left the gym and I was pulled over for running a Stop sign. The first thing I told the officers is that I am loaded and if not for my calmness, I could have been a dead uppity brother. That's what get me to go off sometimes. Raumdeter is one of the so called conservatives here wishing death on all my 4 children. As much hatred as I have for Trump, I do not wish him or any member of his family any ill, I just want him to go away. If these guys know what it means to be a Black American, they won't be spouting the garbage they spin out every day.
You need to understand that those living in Nigeria can't possibly know what black people go through in America and most migrants don't know the battles fought for the few rights they enjoy and take for granted.

Instead of insulting the ignorants, they should be forgiven or at best pitied and educated for they know not what they talk about, but apart from that, you should realise that there are many sensible people reading here who would benefit more from being educated instead of being turned off by sweeping insults that do no one any good, not even yourself since insults only show they got under your skin.

On August 9, 2014, the body of Mike Brown was stolen from us in Ferguson, Missouri by police officer Darren Wilson. After stealing his life, police desecrated his body and traumatized the Black community of Ferguson by leaving it on the ground for 4½ hours. The entire police state, assisted by mainstream media, conspired to assassinate his character, alleging that he was deserving of his own death.

But the oppression of Black people and theft of Black life has never been quietly swallowed. It has always been met with resistance. The people of Ferguson and St. Louis rose up. For months… and years…

As the United States government tacitly declared Ferguson a war zone, sending in troops, tanks, tear gas, rubber bullets, and guns, courageous folks from Ferguson and greater St. Louis stood them down. Inspired by the courage of local leaders, the steadfastness of Mike’s family, and the enormity of Mike’s spirit, freedom fighters from around the nation and the globe convened in Ferguson. This “call” to Ferguson pulled together #BlackLivesMatter activists, who had been awakened by the acquittal of George Zimmerman for the murder of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin on July 13, 2013. Organizers in Ferguson and St. Louis continue to suffer state-driven repercussions.

Today, in the midst of #BlackAugust, we invoke the tremendous Spirit of Mike Brown, we offer our deep gratitude to Ferguson organizers, and we recommit ourselves to Black resistance, which is the only path to Black freedom.

Will you shut up already! You are a disgrace to all black people on earth. Your fellow black men are fighting for the basic right to live and have equal opportunities in a society that has oppressed them for very long and here we see the extraordinarily stupid black people like you who would key into the narratives, excuses, justifications and rationalizations of the oppressors for their systemic oppression.

while black people are literally laying down their lives for their rights. very foolish and stupid sellouts like you would readily defend the oppressors. how low can you stoop?

How stupid can you be. I used to regard you as one of the only reasonable conservative here but damn how so mistaken was i?
You are sooo dumb. Better go and re-orientate your mentality and realign your thought process. Just see how you are justifying murderers, Mtchew.
Imagine! The same fight by many black people that won the rights that make many Nigerians pray and dream of seeking salvation in America is what some are deriding here.

I'm sure they'd deride us fighting for the same rights in Nigeria without realising they themselves are the animals in the nation they would call a zoo.

Its why SonofLincoln, though I wish he wouldn't, insults them so frequently by claiming they live on ₦200 a day. If they understood the plight of black Americans that pittance they live on might double and triple and likely quadruple but they seem far too ignorant to fight for what could be their rights.

I'm delighted that though they are the most vocal, there's lots of silent enlightened readers learning to not be like them.

See what these Democrats are doing! They obviously paid Kanye to put himself forward and even got Mickey Mouse and Bernie Sanders to sign for him only to expose what they themselves did!

I'm certain trump will dump Pence and make Kanye vp in recompense for his discomfort.

This must be true because trump threatened so, and Comey will definitely be locked up like trump locked up Hillary despite no case being filed against him and we definitely will not say trump is facist because he is only draining the swamp.

I have edited my post to include evidence. Infact I went to the electoral roll website of Florida. I entered the killer cop's name and date of birth. It brought up the killer cop with his registered address in Florida as an active registered republican.

I wonder why that guy or girl had to lie. It must be a trumptard thing.
Thank you. Trump lies so one should expect it of his followers.

Don't forget to tell them that Biden signalled to the killer cops to kill George too. Obama and Biden injected Congressman Lewis with cancer to make it easy for Blacks in America to vote against Trump. That's the lunacy the cultists are exhibiting in their favorite forum. Nairaland is turning to Right Wing Lunatic Forums now. God help Seun.
Actually, it was Biden's knee on George Floyd's neck then someone photoshopped him out of the video and put some poor innocent policeman's knee on Floyd's neck, and the only reason the police have not spoken up is the DNC promised to pay them $1m each and cover the education cost of all their children for 12 whole generations to take the fall, then they created some fake virus so everyone would be distracted and in case that did not work they hired black people to protest and distract everyone.

This is the sort of thread that just goes to show how ignorant some people are. Anyone who has studied the history of black oppression in America would know how oppressed black people have been. Even long after segregation was deemed illegal after being legal for centuries, only a mindless person would think it became illegal in people's minds.

Just this week, a friend who became a double professor in Nigeria got made a professor in a UK university. He had to put in 17 years for it while watching his own students attain professorship and become his boss.

One can only assume op is speaking ignorantly from the confines of his village and never been to America nor read nor studied US race relations.

Those cops were most likely democrats;
They definitely must have been nothing else but Democrats.

In fact, Obama and Hillary and Nancy Pelosi told those cops to kneel on George Floyd's neck and choke him to death knowing almost everyone would blame Trump. They even planted Trump's dna at the scene, but I will not provide evidence for that claim because we both seem to agree that baseless conspiracies don't need evidence to be believed.

Why not tell us in laymans langauge that

a)The bruises on his neck 8min caused his death
OR
b)The level of fentanyl, methamphetamine, plus cigarettes plus other conditions like severe hypertension n arteriolsclerotis caused his death


If it was (b) the cops will walk.
So, in your opinion GF would have died in his car of the "level of fentanyl, methamphetamine, plus cigarettes plus other conditions like severe hypertension n arteriolsclerotis" if no police had knelt on his neck?

Who owns CBS news? Viacom. They have a miniseries on James Comey as the good guy against Trump starting late September this year. Clear case of electoral interference.

That aside, lets see what happens when the trial goes underway.
"Electoral interference" for who's advantage?

And what trial?

A Higher Loyalty: Truth, Lies, and Leadership by James Comey

As anticipated, this is a difficult book to review. In fact, I was in two minds about even reading it, though I am not unhappy that I did. On the one hand, I do feel I know Comey better and that he is, in many ways, a good, stand-up sort of guy (which he reiterates in every conceivable way throughout the book, mind you). He has had his struggles and personal tragedies, and I do think he gives himself a far more human face with this book, when before I knew so little about this man beyond his questionable actions. An aspect I enjoyed, was learning about his family and past and noting the obvious love and admiration he feels for his wife and his family.
On the other hand, I finished it feeling frustrated. Despite having a better understanding regarding the difficult decisions he faced, and hearing his uncertainty about how to handle the Clinton investigation, he never seems quite willing to take responsibility for the fallout, even after he makes it very clear how little respect he has for Trump. I struggled with this aspect of the book and his character, as I am sure many other readers will. Comey makes an effort to show he is not partisan, and yet he cannot help offering small barbs against George Bush and complimenting Barack Obama (can't blame him on that front, it's OBAMA!). Yet his insistence that the FBI remained wholly separate from the politics of the president as well as partisanship rang false to me. If you, as the acting Director of the FBI make monumental decisions during a fraught election cycle, you are meddling with politics. He claims, like so many of us, he felt certain Clinton would win either way and was as stunned as anyone when she lost, so I believe him when he says he didn't intend for this outcome. All the same, this is the outcome we got and I feel my liking for this book and my sympathy for Comey waned considerably once I realized he would not be taking any blame. Additionally, and more puzzling in my opinion, he states he would act precisely as he did if he could do it all again. This seems insane, since he also makes it evident that he thinks Trump is a very dangerous and incompetent person (an UNstable genius...wink ?! I am left feeling baffled and not very satisfied having read this book, but that seems to be my perpetual state these days. In the end, I am glad I read it, but am disappointed as well by the cowardice of so many of the people in positions of power, whose ego and ambition rule their actions, instead of their principles or a sense of morality. Comey can say what he will, but it takes courage to admit a mistake, and I think that courage is lacking in him, at least for now.

But Baden said the further testing wouldn't reveal evidence of compressive pressure on Floyd's neck and back since the pressure would have been released when it was no longer applied. He said large areas of scrapes and abrasions on Floyd's face indicated the force that was used to press him into the ground.

Baden also said that he could find no underlying conditions that contributed to Floyd's death, saying he was in good health. In a criminal complaint, Hennepin County prosecutors said Chauvin "had his knee on Mr. Floyd's neck for eight minutes and 46 seconds. Two minutes and 53 seconds of this was after Mr. Floyd was "non-responsive." Crump said Floyd's death was the result of that sustained pressure to his neck and the pressure on Floyd's back from other officers holding him down.

The truth to let me admit liberals is what they believe in. An alternate view is criticised, denigrated and dismissed as inconsequential.
"An alternative view" that has no evidence to support it would rightly be "criticised, denigrated and dismissed as inconsequential" by intelligent people, especially if no evidence to support it is provided, and you have not even shown any evidence that you know anything about liberalism not to talk of how it is a mental disease as you claim!

But we know this never happens because atheism in itself won't allow atheist to organize themselves as theists do.
So, its not because throughout history people have been condemned and killed if they refused to worship the gods of their community?

I suggest you learn about Jesus Christ and Socrates, both who were atheistic to the religion of their day and were murdered because of it. Most would abandon their difference of opinion rather than die for their beliefs.
Islam › Re: Why Atheism & Non-religion Never Built Civilization by budaatum: 4:41pm On Aug 09, 2020
usermane:
OK. So why are atheists minority? You two ever considered this? It is because atheism as a mindset doesn't favor community growth.
Actually, its because people can not reason for themselves and are programmed to be theists by their parents, which is obvious by the mere fact that the theistic god one subscribes to is usually the one inherited from one's parents.

Thankfully, Mohammed was atheistic to his parent's beliefs or the religion he promoted would have been about the idols his parent's worshipped.

If the media was honest Hillary would have not even been in the running.
She had committed crimes that would have landed anybody else but her in jail but the
fbi and media downplayed it all. Hillary was given a pass, the circumstances behind that laptop could not let FBI cover it up, though Comey still said they found no classified emails .. like 4 people went through 600k emails in less than 2 weeks.
She was literally being forced down the throats of America. Turned out there was a greater good force in play to prevent that from happening.
This might work as an explanation in conspiracy world amongst people who like believing the crap they cook up in their heads, but not in the factual world.

If the media and the FBI were doing what you claim they would easily have conspired to stop Comey investigating two weeks to the elections, and intelligent people would wonder how that can be part of your so called "She was literally being forced down the throats of America", unless you'd like to add that they were so stupid and ignorant not to see how that was shooting their own chances.

Liberalism is a mental disease in that no matter how crooked a person like Clinton is, the liberals will never seek to find out why. Its like being blinded by hatred of one view .
For instance Obama was no saint, he got away with scandals because to question him was racist. He plus Biden say he ran a scandal free admin, Not a single liberal in the media dare ask him about Benghazi, Egypt, Syria or Iran.
Or the main purpose of the Climate change deal which really was a wealth redistribution agenda.
We can talk about that later.
Liberals as they were yeara ago adaptive to change. Today Orange man bad is like a cult belief.
You are presenting conspiracies with no evidence whatsoever to back up your claim and have not given a definition of liberalism, which is all I asked for.

Please be aware that I ask because I pressume you are sufficiently intelligent to know that the meaning of words matter, and be warned that failure to provide a definition will be construed as an indication of ignorance which you have failed to disguise with unproven conspiracies with the hope that I am not intelligent enough to see that is what you are doing despite your very glaring uninformed claim about climate change, amongst others.
