Go back to the Canada forum. Please.
You are ignoring the actual facts I just presented to you. "White" does not mean anything. Are you saying a "white" Jewish person is the same as a "white" Muslim?

HATETRUMP TV ON 24/7 for over 4 years.. the false profit on MSM to put out falsehoods because our president had an agenda to put Americans first. Plain and Simple.. special interests had to take a back seat because Trump actually got things done for the Americans, not the globalists, the politicians that line their pockets with giving favors. They hated anyone who would do such a thing . Same thing happened when Ross Perot came into Washington to put Americans first. Both parties smeared him.



We were NEVER PUT FIRST. They just appease us once in a while to make it look good. Reality is they do very little for the common folks.

I admit that I ignore most everything that you write here. But I do know the stats. They are available to anyone willing to do five minutes of research.

You’re full of it. As usual.

Go back to the Canada forum. Please.

Absolutely they do. But the USA ignores it's genocide.

I believe it may partially be due to US citizen’s mass infatuation with social media and news networks that are more opinion pieces looking for high ratings (aka money) than getting out facts and actual news. This all divides us even more.

Let’s try to have a civil conversation here. No need to rant about the left or right. No need for name calling.

Why is there so much hate in the USA? What is causing it?
Life in the US is a total rat race. We are overworked, underpaid, overtaxed and only receive a 2-week paid vacation at work if lucky. Government only helps some people.

Many countries ignore their genocides. Many don't, and they apologize. Some, however, ignore their genocide. What I do see in the USA is this. I don't see denial of that genocide. What I see is this. If you refer to it as a genocide, you get accused of "pandering to political correctness".

And that is a huge problem. All countries should acknowledge their wrong pasts (and many won't). However, it does not play well to being the promoter of doing the right things if they don't. The USA is slowly coming to terms with issues around slavery and it's past, but ignores others to a great degree. The First Nations genocides, the internment of Japanese, the secret wars in the "banana republics", and many more. I recognize these things are not top of mind, and often uncomfortable, but if Germany can deal with it's horrific past, why can't the USA?

The United States was founded on the idea of equality as stated in the very first line of the Declaration of Independence. Unfortunately, we may have to accept the reality that this is a failed dream that will probably never be achieved.

We very clearly have caste-like minorities in this country. The cause of this is human differences. I'm afraid we have reached the end of the road.

By far and away Trump is the most divisive POTUS in our history. Divide and conquer is his core strategy, he didn't help the situation he drove the wedge deeper. Media and Social media played a part because they covered all of his stupid tweets. Only policy related tweets should be covered by the media, they should ignore the other crap.

On occasion, the MSM report a falsehood, which usually gets fact-checked and caught pretty quickly and then retracted. (I'm not including FoxNews here.) Otherwise, the MSM is NOT putting out falsehoods as you claim. An impeached president who claims "fake news" at news he doesn't like does NOT make such news false.

That's an awfully ironic assertion, knowing that Trump has repeatedly violated the Emoluments Clause of the U.S. Constitution (lined his own pockets), AND has shamelessly pardoned (given favors to) the criminals who kept their mouths shut about Trump's own involvement in criminal activities!
