nothing wrong with putting emphasis on victims and survivors. If you want to help them tangibly I posted a link for that too.

They asked the White Supremacist-in-Chief - if he saw a -

worrying rise in white supremacy movements -

and the White Supremacist said - NO.

What a stupid question to ask a White Supremacist.

Freedom of speech is too important to silence people which is what many want. And outside of silence then you are "amplifying".

Hates free speech. Hates white people. Lives in a Western country.

it's the same ol' story with the religion of hate.

So you're a beawop

How does a Swede share your "mindset?" My own anecdotal story is going to Catholic school in Southern California (probably the most diverse region of the US outside of New York). Mexicans, Italians, Poles, Irish, Indians, Asians, and a few blacks (to be fair, this was in the 80s and 90s). No one self-segregated nor did we see each other as, "that's my Irish friend. That's my black friend." The connection came through living in the same neighborhoods, playing and following the same sports, and just having common interests in general. This is why I argue that geneity develops better through shared cultural experiences than through physical resemblance, so I don't agree that you would connect better to a native Swede who barely speaks English over a 3rd generation Hispanic who likes baseball and soccer, unless you were actively judging by appearance.

Now, again, I mentioned my experience being in the 80s and 90s because that was before iden y politics were really a thing, and if you want to have a conservation about how the rise of iden y politics has attacked the E Pluribus Unum concept, there's plenty of meat on that bone. My main point is that trying to judge the actual demographics of the US through census data is a bit of fool's errand, since a 4th generation Hispanic-American is very different culturally than a 1st generation Hispanic immigrant.

I enjoy reading your post. I had the same experience as my circle of friends was diverse. And they are still a major part of my life. But as we aged and went to College and thereafter - social circles shrink and people gravitate towards those that look, sound and think like them. For example my black friend was no longer into punk music and surfer clothes.

I think if I cut media (and that includes sports/music) From my life it would be manageable. Because nationally many of these minority groups hispanics/blacks aren't looking for equality but instead to settle a score (blacks) or make this their new country (hispanics).

It just isn't desirable to me. I could bite my lip, change my life and make it manageable but I personally have other options. Once I have children that's another battle to shield them from pop culture. I think that is a very difficult battle to win without offering them native heritage and customs - self worth.

Good for them. Would be nice to see countries get to where Australia is as far as gun laws.

A nice luxury to have when your immigration and refugee policy is air tight

I’m sure they’ll fall into a tyrannical dictatorship in the near future since citizens can no longer defend themselves

It has been reported the shooter traveled Europe/Asia and it sharply changed his viewpoint. You should leave USA some time and see for yourself that multiculturalism is extreme.

[Winehole23]

in the victimization sweepstakes, there can only be one number one.

Chris very much cares that his creed continue to receive top billing, the day after a historic masscre of Muslims at prayer.

It's almost like he's jealous of the attention somone else is getting.

it's always sad when innocent lives are taken senselessly. however, i see stockholm syndrome is strong with some here yet we never see this much outcry when the shoe is on the other foot.
