A warning from Belgium PM to globalists about the need to protect industrial production

[Mac-7]

To say she has a grudge against America is so fing ignorant.

Sometimes patriotism, to my ear, sounds like a rebel yell. Those people who embrace the flag, who wrap themselves up in the piety of the country, are often, more than not, folk who think I should be in my place, folk who are behind the assault on voting rights, folk who want to deny the specificity of the experiences that shape how I see this place. So usually when I hear a robust, visceral embrace of love of country, you know, my head goes on a swivel. Who sang it, and for what ends and for what purposes?

No one will ever accuse the Obama’s of embracing the flag or being proud of America

 

[Mac-7]

Btw:

I think the singer deserves credit for a brave performance

She was in obvious pain but chose to go on anyway

We’ve seen several examples of republicans and trump being hypocrites on this too. They said this back then but have since done the same thing.

Trump can be somewhat clueless at times

Such as saluting the North Korean guard

I cringed at that photo

But he is never malicious toward America like the obama’s are

You don't get it. I get it. But I do get it. Get it?

As the United States prepares to celebrate its 250th anniversary, historian and Princeton professor Eddie Glaude Jr. says he's feeling rageful. He opens his new book, America, U.S.A.: How Race Shadows the Nation's Anniversaries, bluntly, with the declaration: "I do not love America, and never have, especially now."

Glaude points to the Supreme Court's dismantling of the Voting Rights Act, and to redistricting efforts that threaten to limit Black representation in Congress.

I wish I had more of the transcripts of what this black man said. But how can a black man, in America, say "I LOVE AMERICA". All of America or just some of America? Is it okay to not love everything about America?

he says it's past time for the country to acknowledge the ways it has failed to deliver on its founding principles:

"America has to grow up. It can no longer hide in its adolescence," he says. "America imagines itself at once as a beacon of freedom and as a white republic. And to hold those two things together ... deposits the kind of madness at the heart of the country."

I DO NOT LOVE AMERICA he wrote.

I had written some version of the introduction and it didn't land. I thought I was holding something back. … And so I returned to that first paragraph, and suddenly this sentence just came on the page. And I got up and I started walking around my study and I was afraid of what this would mean if I left it there. And then something inside of my head just simply said, "But this is what you have to say. You have to begin here and then you can explain." So I left it.

As a smart liberal white man, I get it. As a conservative I get that you don't get it. No empathy. You're one of those draped in the flag guys until Obama is President then maybe you got it for a minute.

The Voting Rights Act was passed to protect every citizens right to vote, specifically blacks but it applies to everyone

Majority black districts are a bastardization of the Voting Rights Act

 

[Correll]

And you are already declaring victory. What did we win?

Who cares? not you. Not me.

So.... why are you asking?

 

[Deplorable Yankee]

This is not Donald Trump talking

Nor is it Fox News

This is a warning from a Euro who libs often hold as more sensible than Trump

However he’s saying the same thing trump is saying

And its time for libs to listen

Has to be a flem... They're the only belgians who ever worked or had any sense
Wallons are the frogs ....

We've been saying it for years no. Oui ******* waffle

Germany and the UK has probably f***** themselves harder than all of them....

Well that's the spin white conservatives are putting on it. And in some ways, I get it. I agree. If they don't want race to be a factor, then let's stop giving blacks a district of their own. A Representative of their own. Good point. Take a square state. If they wer going to have 4 representatives, just cut the state into 4 squares. One rep for each square. Why carve out a district specifically for blacks?

I would say those blacks will someday swing all 4 of those districts. Rather than have 1 rep for all the blacks in that state, spread out those blacks into all 4 districts.

I would not go quite that far

Thanks to slavery and our national fixation on race the SC has set the boundaries for racd based voting laws

And they are no special rules for or against any race

But it does allow exemptions for special interests such as agricultural or industrial
