You claim you analyzed the impact of it in black communities. Well I lived in black communities so again I know way more about this than you. I saw the impact, I didn’t analyze it. For your information rev sharpton is a very respecte in the black community here. Goodness gracious you have no idea the amount of respect ppl hv for him. I’m on ground here and your analyzing through books and media huge difference. First hand experience beats all


thebosstrevor1:


While you learnt it in school without thinking about the impact, i analysis the impact the crime bill had in the black community.

Now that you have alighted it, these people you mentioned are they good for black people and because rev al Sharpton the former Fbi informant endorsed it does it means all black people support it.

You live in nigeria you don’t even know 10% of what’s happening in America. There’s such a thing as national news and local news.

Two totally different information. You can’t teach me about a crime bill that ppl have to learn in school to pass American history class.

Just like I can’t teach about nigeria because I didn’t grow up there. You don’t live here so you know very little about what happens here





Now you are just coming to terms with the reality



You said you want to teach the dude American history, but you ended up talking only about Joe Biden and what you feel he has done to deserve his win (cool)



But then, you are accusing him of reading from bias outlets........


But don’t you think for your American history to be tilted towards just The liberals, it portends your bias also and if he accepts it, it means he’s learning from your own personal shaping of the political landscape over there which is based on Democratic ideologies

For years ppl have been hired based on color and not qualifications. Biden is hiring ppl of color with similar qualifications to their white counterparts.

Take university was recently sued because they where accepting white ppl with lesser marks than black kids . They now have to pay a fine. Race issues are very Clair in America. If you don’t live here you won’t understand it. That’s why you opinion does not matter. You cannot talk about what you hv not experienced personally


I have experienced racism first hand, but it is not the object of our discussion. Please re-read and assimilate my submission you responded to. If your submission is American racism, then you are right.

I am sufficiently informed in these matters. I think you and I are arguing in the same lines, but you want to push the "living in the States" narrative to elucidate your point. My argument is hire people because they are qualified, not because they are black or white. Since you live in the States, can you educate me on the origin of the term "people of colour"? While at it, please read these two articles and be informed on how people outside the United States view this connotation.

Omg are you dumb?

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



As long as America interfere with Nigeria and as long as america is the world power, everybody has the right to know about their political stands.

You don't have to live in America to understand America politics.

So how do you think international politics and relations works?

Also, People of colour do not have to work hard as whites to gain a promotion, if you are good, you will gain it, stop blaming racism

Dude do you really live in America?
If you did you would know Social security and Medicare tax was never changed. If you saw a deduction then there’s an error in your taxes. Only 20% of working Americans said they saw a change of over $50 extra money in their paychecks. The remaining 80% saw no significant change

I live in Ogbomosho but if an error in taxes that has brought about taxcut of over $100 in a monthly paycheck which will be over $50 when calculated biweekly for over a year now then the IRS must have been full of dummies.

I tell you again. Stop watching too much news and stop relying on Google for simple answers since you live and work in the States.

Also, the significance of tax cut will largely depend on the amount in the paycheck.

Republicans have sent more black ppl to jail than democrats so what exactly is your point?


thebosstrevor1:


Which saviour?

Yeah, Democrats are known to send black people to jail.

Kamala Harris is another one, she sent lot of black people to jail for silly offenses and even laughed about it, during the party primaries for the president, Tulsi Gabbard destroyed her.

Y definitely watch Fox News because what you stated has been proven untrue... Biden lived in Scranton Pennsylvania until he was 12 and left when his father lost his job in the coal mines. He grew up poor.
Then his family moved to Delaware.



thebosstrevor1:


So because he moved to delaware that means he supports black and latina.

Btw, Biden was raised in delaware suburbs. You know who lives in the suburbs-white people.

Another lie.
Democrats have kept more black people in "projects" which basically means modified jails and guess what, they are innocent blacks and not convicted criminals that the Republicans sent to jails.

It's also on record that Democrats have deported more immigrants than Republicans. ICE under Obama deported more immigrants and separated more families than under Trump but no one talks about it today.

You need to differentiate my words from yours

I don't watch fox news.

What is the difference with what i wrote and what you wrote.

Biden didnt move to Delaware because he loved black people.

His family moved to Delaware when he was 12 years to find opportunities.

It’s because of your mentality that’s why you still in a face me I face you. I don’t hv time to argue with a person that can’t do a common google search. Yes black women are the most educated in America. We have more degrees than anyone else. I know your chauvinism won’t let you appreciate how magnificent black women are. I have way better things to do today



J111333:
One thing I don't do with people like you is arguing.
Black women are the most educated in America, so Google tells you eekwa?

You live and work in America so why do you need Google to tell you what you see everyday?

If not for black immigrants in America, ordinary Indians sef would've relegated black Americans to the back seat in America long time ago.

Go to research institutes and great schools and count how many blacks there, deduct black immigrants and see how many black Americans remaining.

Biko leave me mek I continue watching American movies in my ogbomosho face me I face you compound in peace.

Asked her who created the high rise of single mother homes in America and welfare systems

Didnt Democrats brought about one rules that says if a father is at home, the family can't receive welfare, this brought about the disintegration of the black family.

The Democrats were arresting black fathers and stopping them from visiting their children whose mothers was on welfare

You probably didn’t do a google search because if you did you would know those where declared pandemics by WHO the only body allowed to declare worldwide pandemics. I have better things than to teach you these things dude. Good day


Tadeknkeepcalm:

Well as you advised ma, I checked Google and all the diseases you mentioned were not declared pandemics. There's a difference between an epidemic and a pandemic. Which I would have loved to educate you about. But I have come to realize that the most ignorant people are also the most arrogant. Have a nice day.

Most Democrats controlled state didn't fell the impact of trump tax.

Biden is coming with more tax, so so called green plan where people that don't work will be paid with your money, socialised healthcare and all other socialist initiatives.

They did except you earn very low.

This is how it works.

top rate fell from 39.6% to 37%, while the 33% bracket dropped to 32%, the 28% bracket to 24%, the 25% bracket to 22%, and the 15% bracket to 12%

The lowest bracket remained at 10%, and the 35% bracket was also unchanged.


If you earn from $0 to $9,700, your tax doesn't change, it is still 10%
