Clearly another attempt from the child rapist to distract from the Epstein files.

Yes he's less racist than the literal black guy

Being black has nothing to do with it. Look to Africa or even china… folks all over the world hate each other because those in power pit try to pit us against another.

For example. Israelis look exactly like Palestinians if we line them up… but somehow Israel thinks it’s cool to genocide and colonize their literal family’s in the human history tree.

Israelis look exactly like Palestinians

Not the Western ones (I'm still reminded of that documentary I saw where a guy speaks with a literal blue eyed blonde woman with blonde children who was saying she's native to that region; she said at first it's not colonialism and then shortly after said she doesn't see what's so wrong about colonialism)

It’s important to say. Obama isn’t any better than any other regular neoliberal. He is a good speech writer and orator though and he is actually intelligent and cogent

But it’s clear he was just as much of Israel’s bitch as the Donald is

Tokenism is one of the worst aspects of Democratic politics. "He didn't represent you, but he kinda looked like you! Are you not pleased?"

Trump shouldn’t be allowed in the White House any longer.

[–] FatVegan@leminal.space 1 points 1 month ago

Why? He's the smartest american

[–] Tinidril@midwest.social 1 points 1 month ago

Why not? It's not the "Blackhouse".

Honestly before he 'condemned' the racist parts of the video, his fans would most likely have all been saying 'How is it racist how is it racist'

Now that he's said he 'condemns' the racist parts, his fans will just say 'look he condemned it look he condemned it'

This was to distract from the Epstein files.
