You missed him mentioning Iran and north Korea

It wasnt directed at every black person. It was for those who have anger towards America, such as the tweeters.

And yes, I know some of the people who hate this country are white and all other colors. The same message goes to them as well. Especially those that use race as some tactic to hate on this country. There are whites who also feel America is bad and slavery might as well be thought of as its still happening today and people are suppose to carry some hate and grudge against America for God knows how long.

He didn't tell Sorkin to go anywhere, all those comments were towards Rock. Besides, Iran and N. Korea are countries hostile to the USA, Africa is not, so not sure I understand the reference, unless.....

I gave a short list of countries. I could list more. It goes to any of these anti-Americans. Move there, and "research" every other countries history, and then tell me how bad and evil America is.

It seemed like your comments were directed towards the Black readers of this forum, and I don't understand why you had to single out the Black members. Actually I do.

I singled him out by name particularly because he was the most well known of the tweeters I read. Most would have to look up Sorkin to figure out anything about him.

Much of the hate from some of the tweets and views generally of these people have to do with race, slavery. I should have expounded more, but I couldve went on and on. Fact is, people like Rock and other 'stars' in Hollywood, are constantly using race and past ills of our country as something that can never be gotten past. Its ideology like that that allow a "reverend" like Wright to even exist.

White, black, you cant celebrate 4th of July because of slavery how long ago? We've righted that wrong which never shouldve happened and we are a country of opportunity. Its frustrating to see people that have made it in this country, use their platform to tell their followers or others like them, that they are nothing but victims and this country is just a down right mean racist country.
