That's the way it is.

They won't see the signs of what's coming until the great America is brought down. It will be worse for America on that day when the settlers will chase away landowners.
Its starts like this.

Let me teach about American history since you have absolutely no clue what you talking about. I live in America so I know way more than you about what’s going on here


The crime bill you accuse Biden of sponsoring was a bill created because there where too many drug related crimes in America. Biden consulted black pastors, black lawyers and they said they needed this bill to be passed. Both republicans and democrats voted for it.

Biden helped Obama create Obama care. A health care scheme that gave millions of Americans affordable healthcare. A night in an American hospital can cost over 10 thousand dollars. With Obama care paying $50 a month will allow you to actually stay in hospital if your sick . Biden increased food stamps with Obama because so many black families couldn’t afford food.

You claim to know so much about America but you get all your info from biased news




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.

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'm a Nigerian so please stop asking me what Biden has done for me. What matters is what he is doing now. The greatest democracy in the world is under significant stress and instead of fanning the flames of discord with destructive rhetoric, he is actually seeking to unify the country and provide solutions to end conflicts like a real leader. Diversity and inclusivity is a good start to that, look at Canada as a good example of that.

P.S. Stop getting your news from fringe right wing sites, it just makes you sound like an idiot.

He isn't doing anything and will never do anything.

He was senator for 47 years, vp for 8 years, what did he do?
Also pls stop getting your news from left wing sites, it just makes you sound dumb.

"I am not down with this description "people of colour". It is derogatory IMV. So the people who are describing others as people of colour are not people of colour themselves? Same people who pronounce Iran as Hi-ran and Iraq as Hi-raq instead of Hee-ran and Hee-raq, respectively. And I do not believe "people of colour" should be given jobs because they are "people of colour", but given jobs because they are the best for the jobs. And I certainly don't expect CNN to make any news of it, it makes it seem as though they are being done a favour. I am not a person if colour, I am a person: I will treat you as a human being because that is what you are. Your skin is something you'd discard at death and is not of prime imporance."
It's because you're sensible person that's why you're reasoning this way.
This world is fueled by racism and the racist are the ones calling others racists.
Look up affirmative action with respect to black people and Asians. Look up reparations. Indeed the system is racist. But in favour of the black people.

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. 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


J111333:
...and who told you all these? How many jobs have you been turned down for because you're black?

Blacks have history of abandoning their jobs after making few months pay to support their immediate needs.

If you are an employer, will you be comfortable hiring someone who will vanish after you waste resources training him or her?

How many working blacks have necessary qualifications to advance to managerial positions in their places of work?

Be truthful please and by the way, interest on loan is based on credit history and score, stop displaying ignorance.

You just showed you don’t live in America.... here we asked to be called ppl of color. It’s a sense of pride. If you call someone black here then you would be considered racist. You either call them african American or ppl of color. Ppl of color includes blacks, Asians and Latinos. .....there are many ppl of color that are qualified but don’t get the right jobs because they not white. So Biden is trying to fix that. When you come to America you will see a lot of white ppl with lesser qualifications than you in high positions just because their white. Here if a white person wants a loan they will pay less interest than a black person bcuz banks say white ppl come with less risk. Biden wants to correct those errors

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.

Biden will increase tax for ppl earning more than 400k a year.



It's mostly people who haven't left Nigeria that are the most vocal Trump supporters. They can't even grasp something as basic as a tax bracket. They think Biden is out to get the income of their uncle who sends clothes for them at christmas.

There should hv been a total shutdown but trump refused. For your information during Obama two terms there was two pandemics and guess what 3000 ppl died. One pandemic from trump and 250 thousand ppl died. Huge difference

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.
