Someone posted a picture recently in the forum that I "assumed" ? was taken in the U.S. somewhere of dozens of kids playing at a playground. There were only a couple of kids that seemed to be white the rest were all dark haired and darker skinned either blacks or Hispanics. I guess I should have complained vehemently? Even just mentioning that fact earned ire from the poster who posted it.

Lefties are plumb NUTS. America was 85% white (I've heard it was as high as 90% white) not long ago. Of course whites were going to control it.


Complaining about whites having control over a nation that was 85-90% white is as plumb bat---- crazy as these nutters going over to Japan and screaming at the Japanese people that they are immoral for running a nation that is 90-95% Japanese.


I swear Lefties must be schizophrenic they are so addicted to pathological lying and lunacy.

Actually, I think it's because we have become way to divided, culturally, socially and politically. This is what too much diversity and immigration has brought us to. Bleeding heart, self hating white liberals have decided to be the champions of them by joining their ranks. It makes them feel morally superior and I'm not a racist I'm a realist.

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?
Have you seen the recent post of the Left HATEING on Mike Lindell the my pillow guy? That's why there is division in the US and why there will never be unity. never........

Despite a bad analogy, I get what you are saying.

I was just pointing out, confirming, how colleges can orient and condition people in various ways. It can go the other way as well.

Once out of the Navy (and after ROTC), my next degree was biology with a lot of liberal arts. So by the time Bush the 2nd rolled around, I was very much against "The Gloves come Off".
Indeed people can change their thinking. It just seems today many types of influenced prevalent thinking won't lead to 'unity'.

And there, too, maybe part of the answer, we are given people to hate, such this Mike Lindell, whoever he is, we told to know "them" because "google is our friend", that such is our "entertainment" world today.

Long ago, "All in the Family" came along after the Rural Purge
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rural_purge
and we were taught to watch that, to hate.......but it was all in good fun, in humor, so it was harmless.....right?

Well, remember what Tom Smothers said:

[11/28/02, interview in Chicago Tribune] I'm watching television and I'm not seeing anything. I watch all the cable shows where you should see some looseness and you're not hearing anything . . . There's a general dumbing down of everybody in this country . . . It just kept going and going until it's gotten to the point where it's all mean-spirited and vulgar. It not only affects comedy, it affects film. It affects literature. It's pervasive on radio. There's that guy Howard Stern and all that smart ass, vulgar, sexual pretending like they're expanding freedom of speech. They ought to put an amendment to the First Amendment that says there shall also be freedom of hearing. (from imdb)

It also doesn’t help to quell hate when millions of foreigners who came to the United States by breaking its laws are now being told they will be given citizenship.

And that their children will be given preference over the children of the evil whites - to the Ivy League schools we founded (and who produce our future leaders), to Fortune 500 companies, to government positions.


Nope, that doesn't breed legitimate hatred at all.

Simple answer to this question. Fascism feeds on hatred and division, always has. It worked for the Nazis back in the 20th century and it works here in the USA in the 2020's. Create an enemy, whether it's Jews, Muslims, Mexicans, liberals, communists, socialists, black people, brown people - it really does not matter. Start by convincing the proles they need to FEAR these outsiders - then hate naturally follows.

The Neo-fascist scum that attacked our Capitol on January 6th have the same end goals as the Axis Powers that nearly destroyed the world in the 1940's, and they are following the same playbook. Only thing that is surprising is that anyone really does not understand this. Maybe they have never read a history book? Who knows.
