Its the reason why the courts also are trying to restrain him from throwing Tarrifs all over the place like a bike delivery man.
So funny and so true

Black man dies in jail and his family is suing for justice. Before you guys say, “what did he do to get in jail? he must have deserved it.”

The story behind this is that they thought he was drunk driving. However, he had a stroke behind the wheel and crashed. He couldn’t talk to them when they pulled up to him.

SO….they simple assumed that he was drunk or on drugs and threw him in the jail covered in his own urine. Meanwhile the whole time he was having a stroke. My heart goes out to him and his family. What a horrible way to go.

They didn’t think to call someone to medically him on time. Or Call EMS. Nothing. Their first assumption was “black guy. Must be drugs”.

That’s why I really truly despise kuuns. You’re not only contributing to a narrative that harms you (you don’t care about yourself so why should I) but you’re contributing to a narrative that harms every black person. This man could be anyone including your own children. But keep helping racist people spread the ideology that you and everyone who looks like you is inherently up to no good and see where that gets us.

So, from all that's written in that place, it's only COVID stuff you can pick?

Anyways, the issues people have with the vacinne is not much about giving it to whoever wants it, than the problems with making the vacinne optional to everyone.

Thanks for saying exactly what I am saying. You just want to argue for the sake of it.
Then you must be confused about your own argument.

The US controls the world's reserve currency and uses it as a weapon to serve its own foreign interest.

China had foresight, focused on engineering, and now produces over 1.5m highly-skilled graduate engineers every single year.. For comparison, the US produces just over 100,000, many of whom are foreign nationals, looking to return back to motherland. This metric alone makes China prime for controlling the world's manufacturing.

American capitalists, attracted to the China's engineering base, abandon manufacturing inside the US in favour of lining up their pockets. But you are mad at China.

You align with America first, China does China first, but you are complaining.

Meanwhile, you are typing all this nonsense from your considerably cheaply-made mobile phone, thanks to China, but you are angry about it at the same because Trump commanded you to be.

Your head don knock.

That inherently shared mentality is the most dangerous part of this nonsense. They vote to make life difficult for others.

The most st.oo.pid part of it, is the lack of awareness about how close to their doorsteps this actually is.

Yet, same Western people don't stop flying in droves to China to set up manufacturing plants, and take advantage of cheap labour costs.

You guys are impossible.
I did a comparison of electricity bills. for domestic usage ( 600-900 Kwh per month) Europe pays very high elec bills compared to Nigeria. In Africa Egypt followed by Ethiopia has the lowest bills, because they subsidize. They are seeing a lot of industries setting shop there.
London has one of the highest. Europe is gravitating to green energy supplies which are expensive.Ironic that they buy wind turbines, windmills, solar panels, inverters and batteries from China while phasing out cheaper nuclear and thermal plants.
I blame the 'smart MBA types. Who decided the West can become financial centres while shifting manufacturing to China.
At the same time the west is importing a lot of immigrant welfare leechers while it's manufacturing base is shrinking .
Makes you wonder why .

Some Ekuke will come here to argue from a place of deep ignorance that systemic racism doesn’t exist.

Just because there’s no law expressly stating that you HAVE to discriminate against black people, it doesn’t mean that systemic racism is not a thing.

It’s a thing when people in power can and DO choose to ignore racially motivated violence. It’s a thing when they can apply plausible deniability when absolving racist people of the same types of crimes that will have them locking up and throwing away the keys if the culprit were black.

I'm not done with Obama. Sometimes I think he is an imposter. He demanded Muslim Brotherhood members 10 of them to take front seats during the Cairo speech. This was to the chagrin of Hosni Mubarak that would be deposed by Obama and replaced by Morsi ,the 2nd senior most MB high ranking official.....El Sisi later took care of Morsi.

The Muslim Brotherhood (MB), founded in Egypt in 1928, is a transnational Islamist movement advocating for governance based on Sharia law.
Hamas is an offshoot of the MB. Hamas’s 1988 charter describes it specifically as “one of the wings of the Moslem Brotherhood in Palestine
Notable graduates of the MB include Osama bin laden, Caliph Al Baghdad and , yes Khalid Muhammad the 9/11 mastermind.

Why would Obama align himself with the group that produced these brain farts?

Report by counterextremism on the MB ties to extremists aka jihadists.

Why are you telling me this? You made an argument I was making, agreeing with me, I told you we agree, then you disagree with me, that we agree to type this drivel?

The West has empowered China because of capitalism, cheap labour. China used the money pumped into their country to kill off manufacturing in the West through flooding their markets with cheap goods, and stealing intellectual properties. That's using capitalism to kill capitalism.

The West makes its own bed; let it sleep in it. China has the right to decide its supply chain policy.

See how much they planned to sell electric cars in the West. The government pays the rest when the car is sold.

Thats why BYD made more than they can chew, the cars are all sitting down in a storage, new cars being sold as used cars because the manufacturers have already taken their checks from the government claiming the cars are sold.

Speaking with democracy activists recently from Hungary and Poland, former President Barack Obama warned about the "rising wave of authoritarianism sweeping the globe," even in countries once believed unsusceptible to an erosion of liberties.

"We're seeing politicians target civil society, undermine freedom of the press, weaponize the justice system," Obama went on. "And no one is being spared. Even countries that thought they were immune from wholesale assaults on democracy now understand that we're all part of one struggle."

I likely wouldn't either, but Israel's killing of so many since October 7 would qualify as genocide in my book and does too in the books of many, and there's no reason why your saying should trump those of others more qualified than you and I.


I do believe Israel will provoke an attack, and even if they don't Hamas or someone will find a reason.

In fact, if I were Palestinian, and saw my father and mother and siblings murdered and all our houses blown up, I'd easily be radicalised to do something to the murderers, and Israel will indeed retaliate.

It's like if I were Igbo, and my Biafra lost a war against Nigeria in which my entire family was obliterated, the destruction of Nigeria will be my sole life aim, especially if I feel Nigeria is still marginalising me.

Thankfully, Nigeria is not gung ho like Israel, so Igbos are not so belligerent.
You are too grown to be reasoning like a toddler

2m Biafrans died in 3 years but Nigeria is not gung ho compared to Israel

You will say this and not support Israel to wipe out everyone so they don't face that problem?

Your kind of reasoning is what caused this destruction in the first place.

Japan was very different, you'd know if you read history. japan was so defeated that even their own people turned against their leaders, which I very much doubt will be the case when I return to my home to find it blown up along with my Palestinian relatives.

No, I don't support what Israel did to provoke Hamas. Pity is, Israel will keep grabbing Palestinian land and Hamas will terrorise them as they do too, and another 50 years will go by.

For now, and as I would celebrate too, until I see where I used to live is no more.

It just takes one Palestinian to throw a stone at an Israeli soldier and we'll be back where we've been, since the underlying ideology of both sides has not changed.

I wish I'm wrong, but we'll see.

Every independent arbiter who has investigated it has said Israel is commenting genocide.
Yet Ibime overlooks all that and concludes it's the opposite.
