uncomfortable truth: european culture is VASTLY superior to american culture

All France has to do is deport or eliminate their garbage. Easily done and fair since they are the owners of their domain.

What can the US do? Much of the garbage was already here.

Wow. Can I hire you as the official letsrun publicist? Made my night.

Wejo, for a site with such an obvious and continual racism problem, you might want to spend as much time publicly condemning/discouraging the racist garbage on your site as you do downplaying the racism problem in the US/on your site.

It might be misinterpreted as you supporting it.

What "obvious continual racism" do you see? Can you provide even one example?

I am sick of pretentious democrats. "We want you to condemn such awful words". Translation: we want to censor words.

We've had reported posts referencing lynched black people stay up for days, yet nearly every single thread discussing the issue of racism on this sit is promptly deleted within an hour or two, even the ones that remain civil.

hmmmmmmmmmmmm

seems a bit funny, no?

How about everytime someone creates a post pointing out that reported racist posts are often not deleted for a days that that thread is deleted within an hour.

Maybe the reason you aren't aware of the racism problem here is because when people point it out they are being 'censored', which you equated with fascism

.

and here we have a Brojo once again chiming in with implied support w/o a word addressing the racism issues on the site.

If you are so against censorship then why do you immediately delete posts pointing out/discussing the racism issues the site has?

Maybe I'll go back to tweeting at LRC sponsors about the racism in this place. It seemed to work last time...

OP started a thread making a comparison and contrast between the Americas and Europe. Maybe not exactly. Anyway, what do you do BP? OP started a thread in subtle manner pointing out weaknesses in the US. You responded by attacking over 40% of people in US. You are making OP's point. Interesting that Rojo affirmed your point. He obviously knows you. Interesting that Rojo knows you and you didn't even use your registered name.

Links to the racist posts?

they get deleted.....a day or two after being reported.

it's the glaring discrepancy between the apparently reluctant deleting of these posts and the amazing speed that nearly any thread discussing racism on the site gets deleted that most clearly displays the issue.

So no links, but I can post a couple examples that remained up for a day more after being reported while tons of posts complaining about racism were deleted.

One example:

In the "British ancestors had dark skin?" thread: (so not exactly hard for moderator to see and think it would be a thread worth monitoring)

"Speak for yourself, there's no boolies hanging from my family tree."

this was reported, wasn't deleted for something like a day at least, while numerous threads complaining about the racism problem were promptly deleted with in minutes.

So what possible explanation is there?

This happens over and over.

Clearly the Brojos have displayed no real interest in cleaning up this crap. Maybe they allow it to stay up and make money off the hits and then eventually delete it (plausible deniability and all that). Who knows, hard to say

It's hard to know their stance since they hardly address the issue except to occasionally seem to imply that it's the people complaining that are the issue.

Did you happen to screencap your own antisemitic tirade?

Someone on or about Sunday challenged 100m regarding Apartheid against Palestinian Arabs in Palestine by white Jews. Someone challenged 100m regarding black Ethiopian Jews facing Jim Crow discrimination in Palestine by white Jews. The mere fact that someone brought up those facts, you screamed antisemitism. 100m went on for five hundred words regarding WW2 to justify Apartheid versus Palestinian Arabs. 100m had no words to apologize for or explain why black Ethiopian Jews are subjugated to Jim Crow status in Palestine.

Also, Austria is in Europe, as it is not Australia.

Arnold is an American citizen-'nuff said.

Arnold is a barbarian and he came to the US to feed.

Your belief that this statement is "proof" of your position only "proves" that you are not quite as literate/intelligent/rational as you imagine yourself to be.

Your racism spotting is right on...when it comes to one side. Now how about the original thread poster who suggested that whites there were black. How do you see that is not racism? The whole thread should be deleted then.

True. Actually most countries with cultural cohesion are VASTLY better.

America's cultural melting pot causes so much diversity that there is little political / cultural consensus that helps the majority of Americans in ways that other culturally cohesive countries help their own people >>> Healthcare for all, no wars, no-to-little corruption, no corporations first-people last (citizens united), no loss of privacy (after 9/11 unwarranted data collection and mass surveillance via metadata was started by Bush and expanded by Obama, now same with trump #BarackTrump), no loss of the first amendment (After Russiagate, free speech is now gone. Social media now censoring, blocking, and closing accounts of any with an anti-corporate message. The media has been stifling progressives for years. Democrats briefly tried passing an anti BDS law prosecuting anyone trying to protest (BDS) AIPAC and those occupying Palestine), no guns-mass murders .

These are simple things other countries solve but America cannot. America is too different to figure out and handle its business. Diversity is great for the top 2%, who enjoy the new gilded age of growing wealth disparity watching you 98% minions fight each other every 4 years, both sides keeping the corporate status quo in place.

Diversity for the USA is only great as a talent pool for the Summer Olympics.

I moved to Japan and refuse to pay taxes to Murica. Murica is trash. And yes, I'll be getting my SS checks sent abroad, if that money is still around in the years I retire. Good luck hoping for those checks to come through in 30 years time...

The new American dream is to leave. Just to get basic services.

Good riddance. Hope the door hit you in the a$$ on the way out.

Nope. The no-health-care, federal taxes for wars, fixed minimum wages not tied to inflation, the ever lowering corporate taxes.... that door swung and missed me. I'm the one that left, doofus! Great argument though. You showed me by getting duped and then staying. Now the door is hitting you, repeatedly, on every back swing, as woke folks bail. But please stay put and pay into the SS so I get what is owed to me... But hey, your side is the good side! and so is the other side... race, gender, abortion, name calling is the extent of your depth, while you get ripped off by both parties. Way to undermine your own economic well being to hate on others. The American business elite are clanking their glasses together for your endless naivety. I think the door just whacked you again bro... Good luck with all that. I got my services and rights and proud to pay taxes in a different country for people being guaranteed these things where I live... kinda like the rest of the developed world. Good riddance.

But since democrats and republicans want to deny all runners healthcare, all women healthcare, all blacks..... so tell us, how do you choose which women do not get insurance? Are they the minority women, the ones you personally know, women who drive trucks, poor or middle class women, cat owning women, women who have been physically assaulted.... are they good candidates to not have insurance? How about women who volunteer? They should be without insurance, right? Definitely them too.

Yeah, you really got me with the door comment. All women are covered where I live. All runners too. The door just keeps hitting me with benefits. Lol. Moron.

You live in Saudi Arabia? That sounds fun.
