Most of the Afghan folks (in the order of 100,000) just brought into the US are apparently not translators ( as they do not speak English) nor are they holders of special visas. They are simply refugees fleeing their homeland. Is it racist to question whether it is in the best
interest of the US to absorb so many refugees in one shot when the great majority do not share the foundational values that define secular and liberal societies? Is it bigoted to question the political machinations as to why they are being resettled in particular areas?
BTW, to the slow folks, my questions are satirically rhetorical.

The biggest racists around today are exemplified by folks such as @marclamonthill, @JoyAnnReid, @donlemon, @MichaelEDyson, & @DrIbram. They live race. They breathe race. They exhale race. They dream of race. They eat race. Everything is faux-racism. They are racial supremacists.
Martin Luther King is a historic figure because he preached a universal message that TRANSCENDED race. He saw the shared humanity of people. These race hucksters cloak their hate, their resentment, their venom, in the robe of faux-progressivism. Most people do not give ONE damn
about someone's skin color. But these hate mongers of color eat, breathe, dream, sleep racial division. Their motto: I hate therefore I am. I construct faux-racism therefore I am. I hate whitey therefore I am. It's enough already. Marginalize their voices. Laugh them out of the

The orgiastic nature of pathological "empathy":
1) Remove AP in high school because it marginalizes those who are not academically talented.
2) Place a leash around freedom of speech because free expression might hurt someone's feelings.
3) Ban the criticism of vile religious
dogma because practitioners of that religion will feel insulted.
4) Destroy the athletic chances of biological females as to celebrate the "right" of a trans woman (biological male).
5) Reject the epistemological supremacy of the scientific method because practitioners of "other
ways of knowing" will be marginalized.
6) Reject the concept of national borders because good and noble people from other countries should not be excluded from being citizens of your country.
7) Tell white children that they suffer from Dermatological Original Sin because bruh

A lot of simpletons think that closing the border is the way to solve the open border crisis. The only way to solve the border crisis is to address the root causes, namely climate change, hatred toward the LGBTQ community, and misogyny. @KamalaHarris is truly a historic figure.
Unlike insurrectionists, white supremacists, and white-adjacent hacks, @VP understands causal effects. People fleeing Guatemala to settle in Orange County are fleeing rising carbon emissions. Build solar panels and you solve the border crisis. It's that simple. People fleeing
El Salvador are fleeing the dangerous levels of transphobia (and this includes the cisnormative members of MS-13). Create more inclusion and they won't try to crash the borders. Mexicans seeking to settle in Illinois are fleeing the thin ideal images that are promulgated by

Only white supremacists simpletons would think that closing the border would solve the open borders fiasco. My intellectual mentor @KamalaHarris understands causal nuances, and accordingly she is seeking to identify the root causes of why people come to the US illegally.
If they are fleeing say Honduras for better economic opportunities in the US, it is necessary for the US to build up the economy of Honduras so that Hondurans no longer feel compelled to come here. A border wall would be racist but billions of dollars to Honduras is empathetic.
Similarly, if you suffer from diabetes, we could try to regulate your blood sugar levels or we could look for the root causes of why soda companies create sugar products that are bad for your health. Hence, by granting companies billions of dollars to stop from producing such

Let me type slowly so that the slow ones can follow. The Trump issue is a manifestation of a much larger theme, namely the hysterical tribalism that caused people to lose nuance, measured reasoning, rational thought, epistemic integrity, etc. Therein lies my ire.
If you spend your entire life positing that you are a well-measured intellectual but then you scream hysterically for four years that the world is going to end because bruh Trump, it is as injurious to reason as to be a flat-earther. Hence, my positions are not personal to Sam
nor specific to Trump. They happen to be the protagonists in this theatre of the absurd but they represent a larger problem of reasoning. Yes, I agree with Sam on countless issues, and he is an otherwise great guy. But his inability to modulate his hysteria, and his calculated

Most people in the West have been taught to not criticize a religion, as this would apparently be intolerant and gauche. OK. What cumulative evidence would you need to violate this norm? Has this evidence not yet been amassed? Are all religions equally compatible with our
Western values? For example, are all religions equally accepting of members of the LGBTQ community? Is the West allowed to state that it does not wish to accept such hate even if it originates from a religion? What will it take for people to recognize the world as it exists
rather than to view it through the prism of suicidal unicorn empathy and tolerance. You will pay a dear price for this myopia. Or more accurately, your children and their children will pay an unimaginable price. Once the train of intolerance anchors itself within a society, it
