Yep every nation and every tribe. Comanche indians of the American west were as brutal towards non-Comanche as Germans are towards non-Germans.

Comanche nearly brought to extinction the Tonkowa tribe. The few left became scouts for the U.S. Army. Its said that because of the fear of Comamche raids the Spanish invited American settelers into Texas to be used as a buffer between them and the Comanche.

It still doesn't make it right, just deplorably common historically.

The Comanche thought it was right.

Oh, I guess it's alright then.

Hey look just when you thought you voted out facisim. Even before 6 Jan I thought I noticed a sudden burst of media chatter over fears of domestic terrorism. We had to start fearing our neighbors and what we say now.



Now I know why.

Ahh you crossed it over, which just means that I am correct in that you originally missed it and had to just throw it right out there. And yeah you ARE a troll. You constantly use words directed at people like outraged, scared, silly just to use three I don't have to look that far for but there are many many more. It seems to be your thing, you seem to revel in it, so why do you deny it?

"systemic racism" is nothing new, it is just the catch phrase which is currently in fashion.

In every human society for the past 10,000 years, you have had a ruling class that controls the military/political power and most of the wealth. It can be based on race, religion, culture, langauge, etc.

Children of the ruling class always have advantages since they have access to the best education, official positions and business opportunities so the ruling class tends to perpetuate itself through the generations.

Obviously, the "ruling class" will adopt laws and a judicial sytem to perpetuate their rule and keep the lower classes in line.

You will always have people from the other classes who decry the advantages of the current ruling class. You may even have social or political revolutions that overturn the current system and ruling class, but the inevitable result will be the creation of a new ruling class which brings you back to square one.

Why is it that former White house worker under Trump are now stepping forward and telling news channel like CNN that is was BS.

Saw about 10 minutes CNN news last night and they had an issue with Barr who has changed his mind regarding this voter fraud accusation from Trump.

Then Barr was in a way defending Trump..now he says it was BS.

Looks like they try to save their own skin.

That's like saying you know the result of a football game, after seeing the result of said football game.

That's not trolling, that's making it personal. Which makes two of us. So, again, quit your fake outrage over crap you yourself do just the same.

They need a bit more time than normal people.

[u crank]

And now on a more lighthearted note ....

The U.S. media is the least trustworthy in the world, according to a comprehensive new Reuters Institute survey encompassing 46 countries.

https://thehill.com/opinion/internat...ries-heres-why

The country with among the most resources in this arena – human, technical and otherwise – finished dead last. Finland ranked the highest, with a 65 percent trust rating. In Kenya, the trust rating clocked in at 61 percent.

But here in the U.S.A., the home of global media giants including the New York Times, Washington Post and CNN, we’re trusted by a whopping 29 percent of those reading and watching.

[mapuc]

^ Reading your post resulted in one important question:

Why ? Why does only 29 % of the American trust their media.

Would be interesting to know the reason.

Markus

[u crank]

I think the reason is pretty obvious Markus. People know when they are being lied to.
