Blue lives matter, and if people are disrespecting the value of the lives of police officers, its not racist to say, "Blue Lives Matter" in response.

Agreed. The problem is those who seek to push that some American lives are, indeed, worth less than other Americans. If not by deed, then by inaction. The problem there is that budgetary negligence isn't racist, it's economic.

Geneticists have proved that the traditional concept of race is bullshit. Too many variables. We're all over 99.5% alike. Skin-tone and facial characteristics are minor superficial differences.

The most religious in America also seem to be the biggest racists. Democrats slightly outnumber Republicans as Christian voters but the Republican ones are mega-church Evangelistas fleecing the poor of their pensions as per their right under Prosperity Christianity. TBH, it's all a little weird to me having a quiet Protestant upbringing.

The Democrats rally minorities when they need them using the Race Card but the rally is usually "Free Money". They changed a bit with their "Free College" rallying cry for Millennials.

If im cooking breakfast, and you say... who cares if the coffee sucks, I might respond, "Coffee matters!"

It does nto mean the eggs or pancakes don't matter.

Exactly! So when the Eggs say "Eggs Matter!" and the Pancakes "Pancakes Matter!" it doesn't mean coffee doesn't matter.

Like you said, it's intent that matters. :thup:

Here is a question: why has immigration to the USA plummeted?

Stone said:
Why is modern immigration ALMOST ALWAYS one way? To the western world,.... meaning Europe, the United States, Australia, Canada, New Zealand. ALWAYS.

Your premise is wrong.

We have had flat net migration with Mexico for 25 years, because there is so much immigration from the USA to Mexico. There are several million Americans living illegally in Mexico. Millions more living legally in Mexico. Huge numbers of dual citizens have chosen to live in Mexico, and millions of Mexicans who lived in the USA (both legally and illegally) have immigrated back to Mexico. Mexico has a major problem with children in their education system that do not speak Spanish.

Mexico is not alone. We have here someone who immigrated from England to Thailand. Huge numbers of foreigners immigrate to The Philippines. Singapore is popular place to immigrate to for the rich.

It is not uncommon for immigrants to immigrate back to where they came from. Huge numbers of Black French live in Africa. When Lebanon became hot, huge numbers of Lebanese with foreign citizenship had to be evacuated... These were people who had immigrated back to Lebanon.

I have literally never traveled anywhere in the world without immigrants from western countries there.

Do some traveling, and see that the westerners are going everywhere. Then get back to us.

I myself have been to every continent, except Africa and Antarctica. I turned down offers from Africa, but never had the opportunity to go to Antarctica. Everywhere I have gone, I have been able to find work for my particular skill set. I am sorry you cannot do the same.

In fairness, basically 98% of Venezuelans immigrants have stayed in South America. Millions of Venezuelans live in places like Columbia. Stone's claim that they are all moving to First World countries is garbage.

Most Syrians are in Lebanon or Turkey. Most Afghanis are in Pakistan or Iran. I could go on and on.

Some people run far, but most people run as short a distance as they have to in order to be safe. An Afghani can many times find a similar culture, language, and even family members in Pakistan. They do not want to live in NYC. They certainly do not want to live whatever cesspool Stone lives in.

It also retarded the development of colonized areas and now they are poor and corrupt and want to come to the West.
 
Stone said:
The poorest of the Poor in America,....meaning those on welfare/public assistance are equal to those in the UPPER middle or higher in most 3rd world countries. So if someone is at the bottom rung in say India, or one of the African or central American countries can get here they will start at the bottom rung in America as well but that bottom rung is SO FAR up the ladder than the one they left that it is incomparable.

Let us pull apart all the things wrong with your claim. First, being upper middle class in a third world country means you can afford servants. It also means you can afford most western luxuries than the anyone in the poorest in America. The only reason someone in the upper middle class would travel to the USA would be for education, enjoyment of the culture, or safety.

Those are the bottom of third world countries usually neither have the money nor knowledge to make it to the USA. It costs a lot of money (compared to what they have) to make it to the USA. When several million people fled Rwanda, almost none came to the USA, because the USA was not an option.

Our poor are given homes to live in, food and health care provided, internet and cable tv access, electricity and heat and water.

You are mostly wrong. There are some programs to help out the poor, but they are massively oversubscribed. Cash payments last for about two years. Millions of Americans are homeless.

Which is one of the reasons so many people are moving from America to Mexico. The cost of living is less in Mexico.

Stacked up against the MILLIONS a year EVERY year trying to get here thru Mexico alone,...without even mentioning other parts of the world,...YEAH....thats NOTHING.

The majority of Central American immigrants go to Mexico. They prefer to live in Mexico than the USA.

That is the Neo-Nazi claim. They claim the Jews have enslaved the N-words to gain political power. Funny how we elected a Black man as President... But I guess the Neo-Nazis would claim that he was still enslaved by the Jews.
