John Cardillo @johncardillo I'm still trying to understand why it was OK for Hillary to pay Fusion GPS to send Steele to Russia to get dirt on Trump, but it wasn't OK for Team Trump to meet with a Russian to get dirt on Hillary.
stanech: Shocking right ? He was busy indicting people on old charges
Lots of "process" crimes like "lying", of which these crimes would never have been committed if not for the investigation. And that fraud crime by Manafort occurred in 2006. I had no idea that lying to the FBI was a crime.
The CIA/FBI/DNC paid for for a bogus Dossier, used to wiretap Trump before the election, and used it as a basis for bogus 2 year investigation on Trump after the election. They are the people who obstructed justice. And Mueller said he had not heard of Fusion GPS LOL.
TheShopKeeper: Trump suggested 'black vs whites' games in The Apprentice: ‘It would be nine blacks against nine whites, all highly educated, smart, strong, beautiful people, right?’
Donald Trump wanted to pit an all-black team of contestants against an all-white team to boost ratings on his NBC programme The Apprentice. The president ran the idea for a racial divide on the fourth season of the reality show past radio shock jock Howard Stern, according to an unearthed 2005 interview.
“It would be nine blacks against nine whites, all highly educated, smart, strong, beautiful people, right? Do you like it?” he can be heard asking the host.
“Yes,” replied Mr Stern. “Do you like it?” Mr Trump asked African-American radio co-host Robin Quivers. “I think you’re going to have a riot,” she said.
Although Mr Stern suggested to Mr Trump that “on some level it’s wrong", the star and producer of the TV show insisted he could make it work. “I think that it would be handled very beautifully by me," the future president said. "Because, as you know, I’m very diplomatic.”
NBC executives ultimately rejected the black versus white concept, with one saying, “I don’t think so,” according to The New York Times, which re-examined the whole incident after an audio clip of The Howard Stern Show interview resurfaced online.
...and yet some folks will say that Trump is not racist...why does he have to do this...
According the article they were looking for the best and smartest, so how is that racist? Is the TV show Dear White People racist? Comedian George Lopez was doing a show talking about growing up and things you were not allowed to do as a Hispanic, one thing you can't do is marry a black woman. It is comedy ratings etc.
Not all European countries had collonies, yet, all of them took part in the campaign in different ways; especially by ways of direct trading. All the European countries invested in the Trans Atlantic campaign in various diferent ways, the Royal families and the wealthiest invested monetarily whilst the poor European citizens invested their workforce during leading up to Colonisation and during the fabled "Middle Passage".
There are currently over 40 European countries present today and all of them was involved in Colonisation and the Trans Atlntic slave trade in various ways.
Russia: Although Russia did not participate significantly in the Trans Atlantic campaign, still, they involved themselves in the physical trade from other Europeans aswell as from the Ottoman empire. /url]
Germany: Building on the pioneering work of scholars like Klaus Weber, Eve Rosenhaft, Felix Brahms, and Mischa Honeck, this essay re-charts the various routes of German participation in, profiteering from, the transatlantic slavery and its cultural, political, and intellectual reverberation.
Spain: Is recorded as being one of the pioneers of the Trans Atlantic campaign.
Ukraine: See the notes on Russia.
Romania: Romania was one of the worst perpertuators, their history is also riddled with vile concepts on slavery.
Netherlands: Dutch involvement in the Atlantic slave trade covers the 17th-19th centuries. Initially the Dutch shipped slaves to northern Brazil, and during the second half of the 17th century they had a controlling interest in the trade to the Spanish colonies.
The History of the Dutch Slave Trade, A Bibliographical Survey.
Greece: Had heavy participation both in ancient times and during the Trans Altantic campaign.
Portugal: Is recorded as one of thw pioneers of theTrans Atlantic campaign, the other being Spain.
Sweeden: Sweden made the slave trade illegal in 1813, but allowed slavery until October 9, 1847. Sweedish trading stations reappeared in the 18th century, when Sweden established a colonial presence in the Caribbean.
Colonialism without colonies: examining blank spaces in colonial studies by Barbars Luthi, Francesca Falk & Patricia Purtschert.
Those links are garbage. Most European countries had nothing to do with it. And prior to it Slavery in Africa was normal. And it still is in many ways.
BraniacX: go tell that in Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Finland that have been socialist democracies for long who rank higher and better than your US on every human developmental index since time immemorial
Those are small countries, historically ethostates, with higher taxes and more social programs for all. Sweden is the largest at 10 plus million people. A state like North Carolina or Ohio has a larger population. USA's illegal population is double that of Sweden's entire population. Maybe medical care is partially socialized in some of those countries (a couple of airlines) but they are capitalistic.
wirinet: Ronald Reagan's final speech was a lovely letter to immigrants, extolling immigrants and how immigrants made the US what it is. He extolled American values of tolerance, love and freedom and welcoming people from all over the world, even from countries at war with America.
What happened American values, what happened to the Republican party? Bigotry, intolerance, hatred, racism, religious fundamentalism are all attributes that led to the down fall of empires and great nations.
That is the left. Americans have no problem with "legal" immigration. When it balloons to 20 million illegally in the USA it is a problem. Reagan was lied to. He granted amnesty to about 6 million illegals. In return they all voted against Republicans. Reagan won every state except Minnesota. The Republicans freed the slaves, passed the 14th-16th Amendments, pushed and passed all civil rights legislation and in return people thought voting for "free stuff" was more important.
I think Eichmann was working at Mercedes Benz in Argentina when captured. One of the most famous Nazis escaped to S. America and was never captured....forgot his name.
panafrican: If you are an American citizen and another American citizen tells you "go back to your country" why can't you tell that person to also go back to where their ancestors came from? There are millions of Europeans who immigrated to the US not long ago , still those Europeans think they are more Americans than Black people whose ancestors were there 300 years earlier .
People do that all of the time. Usually around Columbus Day. It is white progressive Democrat types who say it, but of course they are not leaving LOL. BTW there hasn't been a large wave of Europeans migrating to the USA for a very long time. 1920's probably. Since 1960 Mexico has been the #1 exporter of people to the USA.
A new poll suggests that nearly one third of Democrats believe white politicians who criticize politicians of color are racist.
Rasmussen conducted the survey with 1,000 registered voters between July 15-16th. The survey found that 32% of Democrats agree that it is racist for any white politician to criticize the political views of politician of color. (RELATED: Poll: 57% Of Republicans Support But Most Americans Oppose Trump Tweets On ‘The Squad’)
The poll also found that 85% of Democrats believe President Donald Trump is a racist; while 85% Republicans believe charges of racism against opponents are usually politically motivated.
Basically the Democrats and their Main Stream Media are scared to death of losing the Black vote. Even if Blacks voted 30% GOP that would crush the Democrats. Immigrant citizens generally lean for the Dems but they tend to get and vote more conservative the longer they are in the USA.
The history of slavery has nothing to does with the vile behaviour of the ancient Arabs and Eurocentric Crusaders.
When people try to make aware that those people that implemened the Trans Atlantic campaign was evil, someone of your type will come here trying to quote the history of slavery. That is not the point.
The point is what they did was purely evil and was calculated.
Every single country currently listed as European took part in that evil campaign.
No I am right. And historical accuracy is important. No way in hell every European country was involved in the slave trade at that time. And the country really doesn't matter per se, as slave trading was largely done by private companies. There were instances where a country/government rounded up people and sent them to plantations like the British government did with street urchins and Irish.
Amujale: One second, one minute, one hour, one day, one week, one month, one year, 100 years, 200 years or 400 years it was a great evil, the greatest evil ever perpertuated in the history of humankind.
You are ignorant enough to compare with misogyny
Slavery was global. But how come nobody talks about who captured and sold slaves for centuries. All the Euros had to do was dock their ships and they found willing trading partners. What about the Arabs, what happened to diaspora there? They castrated all males that is what happened. Death rates in the Caribbean and S. America were much higher than N. America.
Rossikk: The hell they weren't. In this 400 years existed slavery, in which blacks were denied every single right available to Americans, and were killed at will on a daily basis by white slave masters, for the flimsiest of reasons, with no one held to account.
If anything it was far worse for blacks during the 400 period you mentioned. It was a nightmare.
Of course they killed those whites who fought for civil rights for the oppressed blacks. That just shows how vicious they were in their hatred of blacks.
Load of garbage. Stop watching Fox News and read some proper statistics on racial disparities in all sectors of the US nation.
Depending on how you want to slice it slavery existed from 1777 or 1786 to 1865. That isn't 400 years. Every single "right", Black men could vote 70 years before white women lol. There are always going to be racial disparities relative various types of occupations. There are more Nigerian American Doctors in the USA than African American male Doctors. The vast majority of engineers are Men. Women don't major in Engineering etc.
zendi: I refuse to let this day pass without contrasting the great patriots who planted the US Flag on the Moon 50 years ago, with today's radicals who make a show of burning the same flag in front of the White House, while yet other radicals fly Mexican Flag elsewhere. Not stopping there, some bend their knees to the sound of the National Anthem while others win the Soccer World Cup and carry the celebrations astray to partisan places. "Progessivism", I suppose, but where might America be headed, 50 years hence?
Rossikk: You wouldn't be saying this if you'd grown up in Louisiana or Mississippi.
Or in Russia, or Latvia...or Poland. Or even Italy.
Being a Nigerian, you don't have experience of the kind of 'white people' you should know about before discussing these sort of issues.
Do you know that in the USA there are 45 million+ African-Americans, and millions of them have very recent family histories in which their relatives were hunted down by hordes of whites, surrounded, poured petrol on and set on fire, as they were being hanged? These public lynchings of blacks was part and parcel of American life for its 400 year existence right up till just under 40 years ago. And that blatant racial discrimination exists till today, structurally, in education, criminal justice, housing, jobs et al.
When you speak to the average African American who was born and raised in Missisippi, or Missouri, or South Carolina, he doesn't tell you
''white people are nice and have swag''.
He has another story to tell you.
One that is far more reality-based, and far less romanticised than your wild-eyed adoration.
You are being historically inaccurate. You are talking about the KKK which was formed after the civil war. Murders were not ongoing for 400 years, and the KKK murdered a lot of white people also. Blatant discrimination does not exist today in anything that you mentioned. If anything government jobs and university admissions favor Blacks/Hispanic over Whites, E. Asians and S. Asians.
According to the Tuskegee Institute, 4,743 people were lynched between 1882 and 1968 in the United States, including 3,446 African Americans and 1,297 whites. More than 73 percent of lynchings in the post-Civil War period occurred in the Southern states.[9] According to the Equal Justice Initiative, 4,084 African-Americans were lynched between 1877 and 1950 in the South.[10]
mysticwarrior: those North Africans who were involved in that act were heavily under the influence of the Ottoman empire, the ottoman empire carried out those raids.
