I compared it to what it was 20 years ago and called it “nothing” in comparison. So, you sort of grasped the wrong meaning my friend.
That’s interesting. My college aged son talks about all of the black people who hang out together at campus and no white has yet cracked their inner circle. And as you say there are white groups who hang out together as well as Asian groups etc. It only becomes a problem when one group begins to feel superior because of there race or nationality… and then acts upon that false assumption.
What does that have to do with groups hanging out together? You are cherry picking. In addition to that he never said that two people of any race cannot meet fall in love and get married.
I provided a working definition of ‘nothing’ as it pertains to racism. Unless you’re prepared to tell me you think AAs circa 2017 experience no more racism than do people of Irish ancestry, they (AAs) are still well above the level of ‘nothing.’
Which is not to say that American society hasn’t made tremendous strides vis a vis racism–it has. Things are indeed much, much better than they used to be. It is just to say there’s a long way to go yet.
I said nothing COMPARED to what it was.
and I am correct
Probably nothing. It’s become abundantly clear that the sovereignty of the United States matters very little to almost everyone.
The left doesn’t care if illegals walk across the border and influence our elections and the right doesn’t care if a foreign power does the same just in their favor.
I’ve come to just accept it.
My real issue is that the soon to be President believes Julian Assange over the entire US intelligence community.

Let’s wait for the hearings and a firm conclusion is reached. If Trump ignores this I will then certainly agree with you.
[quote]"The president’s first budget proposal presented a juicy target in early 2009. At a spring meeting with Republican leaders in his office, Mr. McConnell invoked, as is his custom, a collection of poll data to argue that the budget could be undone with a simple phrase that would crystallize public concerns: “spends too much, taxes too much and borrows too much.”

You mean the same budget that saw four Democratic Senators and seventeen House Democrats vote against it?
If Obama was truly a consensus-seeking post-partisan, these defections might make some sense if they were from the left because Obama forged unsatsifying compromises with the GOP. But the Democratic defections were from the middle, from moderates.
Post-partisan types don’t submit bills and budgets that moderates won’t vote for. The idea that Obama was a post-partisan branch offeror is a therapeutic myth.
We can leave it at agreeing to disagree, that’s fine. As always, I enjoy your perspective.
Yes, it does. Raj buys into this stuff whole-heartedly, he is just coy about going all out and admitting it.
Well spys have been operating as far back as we have written history - Sun Tzu, the Bible, Ancient Egypt.
It bothers me (& I suspect you) a whole lot more about the FBI peering into my life than the NSA spying on every foreign power - including friend and foe.
What’s the racial demographic of your neighborhood?

Mixed. My neighbors to the right: black. To the left: white. Directly behind me: white. Directly across the street: Hispanic.
And they were here before I moved in, and I am not moving any time soon.
Any other smart questions?
Racism is rather in plain view, worldwide and historically.
But if you are saying he is a supremist of some sort, what sort is it?
He claims non white, but seems to champion n Euro power.
LOL!
I’m not even a champion of Euro power - I merely want to live in a free society or at least as free as possible.
If the reverse were true that whites overwhelmingly voted left and minorities were moving the country right my opinion would be reversed
Not a single Republican voted for the measure; 17 Democrats, mostly from GOP-leaning districts, voted against it. [emphasis mine]
I couldn’t find a reference for the four Dem Senators you state voted against it, but suspect we would find that 1) they were up for re-election in 2010, and 2) they were from red-leaning states. Amirite?
Assuming he is who he said he is, he is a non-white immigrant who…
…believes in racial superiority, in particular Anglo-European superiority, belives that some races are inherently gifted to enjoy political liberty (while others don’t have the capacity for it), and is anti-immigration.
It’s comical, and confusing.
I’ve asked him a few times to simply straight up tell us what he believes and thinks.
Seems fair.
Sure, but we aren’t just talking about spying. We’re talking about direct action by one of our frienemies to influence our election.
If Russia had hacked the RNC and leaked information about Trump’s campagin would you care?
Agreed, but these are unrelated things.
Don’t ever travel. You might get triggered from the lack of diversity when you go to Hungary, Sierra Leone, Japan, Korea
Of course - that’s where moderates come from. Or used to, before Obama’s tenure slaughtered that wing of the party and plunged Democrats to a place of lack of influence not seen since the 1920s.
Again, the GOP’s refusal to vote for Obama’s 2009 budget isn’t proof the GOP refused to cooperate - the budget was too rich even for moderate members of Obama’s own party.
If Obama is who you say he is, he’d submit a budget that picked up moderate Democrats and some Republicans while sacrificing votes from liberal Democrats - post-partisan, meet in the middle. He had all the power, the majority, he could do it any way he wanted. He declined to do it the post-partisan way.
His choice. But his party has paid for it at a very steep price.
Hungary? FYI, they have their share of “brown people” - ethnic Roma (or known by the un-PC term gypsies). They also have an assortment of fascist paramilitary gangs that beat up said Roma and torch their dwellings.
If you’re really non-white, I’d be prepared to put some serious money on a wager that you’d get beaten up after dark in Hungary anywhere outside Budapest tourist thoroughfares. I don’t think you’d have the chance to explain them your views about the superiority of white culture.
