Yeah, and we all know the Salem Witch Trials were totally validated after all these centuries right?

Are you being serious?

This is good news, Trump tried this same stunt in 2018 and was shot down by the same Judge.

I still can't believe he's given any time at all to be honest. When he reposted Adam Scott saying white people should just stay away from black people I was shocked, but I was equally as shocked at how MSNBC still gave this loser an interview and how people are still defending him. It's insane to give a known nazi any time of day on any public network

He was forced to buy it, don't you recall his court case? I mean he literally signed the contract then tried to weasel out of the deal by saying Twitter was overvalued and took it to court and lost.

He only ever wanted to destroy twitter so he never cared to begin with

And no one on the left seems to care I guess, which is wonderful for me as a black person to constantly have to wonder if I should even bother staying with democrats if they care so little about us.

Pointing your finger in the air is not going to help anyone, 20 years ago it felt like people were far more politically active because they would actually go outside and riot and protest all the time. Now it seems no one wants to do anything except point their finger in the air and make vague remarks and be outraged, but never bother to do anything about it.

Biden has done a wonderful job castrating us protesters and political activists

I don't really remember those days, they seem like a lifetime ago to me but I listened to a town hall he did not long ago and he was on the ball the whole time, I felt he came off more as a Democrat with some of the things he says

But I admit I'm pretty ignorant of his governing days and the trump stuff, I just don't remember it that well with everything that was going on

Also isn't Newsweek literally a Republican publication? Or am I thinking of something else

The article makes it sound like he's already President or something, and no, he won't be.

I came in with my belief that no book should ever be banned in America and at no point did anyone commenting on my posts even read what I wrote. When you make a 2 paragraph post in honesty and instead all you get in return is 12 year olds with childish insults it's just sad and demeaning.

This is precisely why I left reddit in the first place, there was no discussion happening there, just people karma farming and circlejerks, no real discussions, just "yes men" all agreeing with each other and that's not politics, that's not "civil discourse" and it's not democratic in any way. Democracy is not a one-way street, and even Biden said that he would be working with Republicans a few months ago. Democracy can not exist in a one party system.

No, they're not ok with it, black people are not ok with banning any of those books and neither am I, not once have I ever said anything at anytime about banning anything, I don't want any book to be banned, and that includes the Bible

well I don't, and I don't care for bigotry from either side of the isle

Because 80% of Black people are Christians in this country because Christianity helped black people overcome the oppression from White Supremacy. Christianity was a driving factor in keeping Black Unity after the Civil War and during the Civil Rights movements. Nearly all Civil Rights movements in America started in Churches. Christianity was a positive thing for Black people and still is, it's kept more Black families together and has made Black people wealthier over time.

So what does Black people being religious have to do with this? It has everything to do with banning the Bible when 80% of Black people in America are Christians.

I'm the fascist because I don't want you to attack peoples religious beliefs? Excuse me but what?

OP is also a bigot who hates other people apparently so it's all the same. Racism is not ok, and I don't care if you are Jewish, you have no right to be a bigot

He was also a rapist, but yeah ok, lets defend the rapist

So you want the freedom to attack people minding their own business?

So people are nothing more than a statistic to you? What an insanely warped mentality that only a slave owner could love

Countries with Universal Healthcare are always the worst places to get any treatment done, the US still to date is the best country for medical treatment of any kind

Glad to see you contribute nothing of value to the discussion except your reddit shitpost

No, it's not okay to ban books about Black People and I never said it was at any point in the post I made.

Also like 80% of Black Americans are Christian you know

https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2018/02/07/5-facts-about-the-religious-lives-of-african-americans/

"Religion, particularly Christianity, has played an outsize role in African American history. While most Africans brought to the New World to be slaves were not Christians when they arrived, many of them and their descendants embraced Christianity, finding comfort in the Biblical message of spiritual equality and deliverance. In post-Civil War America, a burgeoning black church played a key role strengthening African American communities and in providing key support to the civil rights movement."

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof

What did I miss here? If a Bible Ban were to even happen the SCOTUS would never allow it under any condition in any State, no matter how liberal the SCOTUS were at any given time as it is a direct attack on protected liberties and against all we believe in as a country
