I explained that Kirk forming a company dedicated to shrinking the Democratic party while CONvincing them to join the Republican party was, in no way, beneficial to the Black community, as he falsely claimed nor did it prove that he wasn’t a racist.
Care to explain how inviting Black people into the political party of which he is a member is racist?
Or perhaps you explain how inviting a Black, Brown, Purple, Green or any other person into “your” group, whatever group that may be, is racist?
Explain, if you will, how inviting anyone of any color, background, political or other belief to a microphone to engage in an honest discussion, an exchange of ideas, a debate is racist, or _____phobic?
If you want to have an honest discussion, start being honest.
Lastly, if you’re going to attribute something that was said to a person, be intellectually honest enough to cite the entirety of the statement. If you want to be honest, you would have first listened to the whole statement rather than the portion that fit your narrative.
Flags flown at half staff for an Actress/Singer, but not for Chris Kyle!
Just sayin.
Just so you know I do my fact checking and the President at the time did not order it, the Governor did ( which they have the right to do ).
In addition to those facts are the facts that she passed as the result of a drug overdose! IMHO I don’t condone celebrating drug overdoses! That’s just me.
Very well said. Not trying to put words in your mouth or criticize your statement, I would have said, Lastly, if you’re going to attribute something that was said to a person, do you think it would be intellectually honest enough to cite the entirety of the statement? Do you think it would be honest, if you would have first listened to the whole statement rather than the portion that fit your narrative?
If we phrase things as questions it feels like less of an attack and more like we are trying to help them think critically.
I’m not sure if it’s worth my investment of time to explain. I CLEARLY stated in the beginning, that him having a company wherein he employed 40 Black employees was his flailing attempt to prove that he wasn’t/isn’t racist. Nowhere did I claim or imply that business, itself, was racist.
Reading is fundamental. Oh, and I keep it honest.
Are you asking for URLs of Kirk demonstrating the aforementioned adjectives?
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has launched Operation Midway Blitz in Chicago, targeting illegal immigrants across the city and drawing backlash from immigrant‑rights advocates. Local authorities have strengthened “Know Your Rights” campaigns amid the increased enforcement, as well as online resources to prepare families for potential ICE encounters. President Donald Trump has repeatedly warned Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker of a federal initiative focused on deterring crime.
Normally, I would be typing F bombs and hate emoji’s for your post Galen1. But not today. My heart is filled with anger and disgust at your comment, but my mind and soul are crystal clear. I have taken to my training and practice more than ever, and I monitor carefully my physical health and well-being. The commentary of Don102 is inspirational to me and I believe more than ever in being prepared. I know there will come a day when all my hard work will be put to use. When all the muscle memory I have incorporated into my hands and feet will be called upon to do it’s duty. I may flinch. I may wet my pants. But my eyes will be focused and forward and I will act positively in the name of righteousness. You believe what you want Galen1, it is a free country. I will fight for what a want. There in lies the difference.
