Didn't watch it all, but kudos to the guy for knocking back vodka on stage! Her voice.....

That is the late Andrew "fearless leader" Breitbart...he had a history of heart issues and combined with his rage issues killed him at 43

I think the sums it up nicely

is that seriously to answer this question?

Setting aside the Native American genocide , has any American group suffered this?

Two hundred fifty years of slavery.

Ninety years of Jim Crow.

Sixty years of separate but equal.

Thirty-five years of racist housing policy

The content available on a site dedicated to bringing folks to America should not be promoting racial discord, euro-supremacy, discrimination based on religion , exclusion of groups from immigration based on where they were born, disenfranchisement of voters rights based on how they might vote.

JayJay, I admire your tenacity. You are one of THE MOST well-spoken, thoughtful posters CEHST has seen in several years. However, after awhile, you will be worn down by one or three regular posters here. But don't see it as a failure on your part; rather, that some people, no matter how many times you lead them to the water, simply refuse to drink because to do so would mean that you may have an iota of merit.

Your time would be better spent trying to remove weeds from your lawn one blade at a time. At least then, you'd have progress. In the meantime, I really enjoy reading your posts. You have FAR more patience than I do.

Help me out of confusion - Please. Again, I'm wondering why this stuff is strictly skin color related. The overall debate on the far left these days is "white people owe stuff to people of color."

Do I owe a Taiwanese or Indian American making $100,000 per year anything because I'm white?

Blah blah blah... Go feel sorry for your favorite minority. Personally, I will keep working to make my own life better, and helping those that actually need (and deserve) it. There are very few actual African Americans who could actually claim reparations. No one in this forum, for sure, though some would have you believe we owe them something.

How much has already been paid through benefits?
