Looks like a public pool in South Africa when blacks were allowed into white areas in 1992.

Weird that I can actually remember living in a time when this was the law, and it was considered correct and logical and all other countries around the world were thought to be insane.

You are not.  So there are those examples of your delusions again.

Dude just brokered Middle East peace, and this is what folks choose to concentrate on.
   
                                   Just pick who you think will be the first to go, this is nothing against trump, just  who will be the first to fly ?   Don't make everything political, just who is the most incompetent.

You have shown yourself a shallow thinker plenty on here. Everything you disapprove of is "leftist." I didn't even say I disagree with what Trump is doing. If you've read my posts you might suspect I have some fascism sympathies, where's my liberalism? Call me a bigot, a racist, homophobe, right wing extremist, antisemite, fascist... the leftist or liberal label doesn't quite apply. I'm sure "fascist" is plenty bad in your world view ;) I threw out the argument that fascism is the antidote to communism, liberalism, Marxism, mafias, crime in general.

Are you really saying Trump doesn't want as much freedom to act unilaterally as possible? Again note I'm not casting a value judgement on it in this argument. He wants to for example be able to start wars without congressional debate or wage sanctions wars without any constraints just on his own whims.

As I said, I wasn't saying it was good or bad what he's doing. I have read opposing views from the "right wing"... some saying hit the left hard now, take off the gloves and destroy them now when there's a chance and don't worry about the "civil liberties" so much. Others have cautioned that the strongman tactics will be turned on the wrong-thinking right wingers before long, imagine if the Dems get into power next go around and you have these new structures like militarized ICE in place. I think most people, on either side, would preferably not see a big police or military presence in cities or anywhere. It's like metal detectors and armed guards and armed teachers in schools, ideally it wouldn't be needed. It's not a nice atmosphere, or do you disagree? Hell, a big prison population is not a sign of a healthy society either, though I completely understand the "tough on crime" position too.

Regarding the gun debate you had with 38. I sympathize with the pro gun crowd like yourself and Coach. But on the other hand 38 actually shot someone with an illegal gun so I listen to him as well 8)

You thinking he’s a dictator, fascist, Nazi or whatever you’re brainwashed media is telling you  means you’re not thinking at all by comparing it to a 30’s dictatorship and fascism.
Historically, fascism often involved illegal or extralegal actions to seize and maintain power, such as abolishing democratic institutions, banning opposition, and using violence to suppress dissent, as seen in regimes like Mussolini’s Italy or Hitler’s Germany. These actions typically violated existing legal frameworks or constitutions. In contrast, most modern right-wing movements in democratic countries operate within legal and constitutional bounds, participating in elections and adhering to established laws, even if their policies or rhetoric spark controversy.

Disagree.

I have no problem with anyone who wants to come here through the same legal process that my grandparents came here through. Very simple.

After they go through the immigration process they can apply for citizenship.  If they commit any felony person crimes, get caught with illegal forearms, sell dope or steal cars or are convicted of any crimes whatsoever,  they can get the fuck out and never be allowed back.

If they get citizenship,  they're entitled to the same rights as anyone else.

Yes but does "race" not matter at all? I don't know how law abiding Indians are, but let's say they are exemplary, won't it change the character of the country if they are let in en masse regardless? Or say if they are African Catholics, with supposedly the same values. People will still naturally divide themselves based on color in many cases. An Indian boss will naturally be inclined to hire other Indians and so on. I think even the avowed color blind civic nationalists very well understand this but just can't bring themselves to say race matters.

Race is Real, not an artificial construct! :D

Is this a good development?

"The U.S. population was around 90% White around 1940, it is not 40% White today. As of 2022, Non-Hispanic Whites make up about 58.4% of the population. The population is more racially and ethnically diverse due to shifts in immigration patterns since 1965, which opened up immigration from countries in Latin America and Asia."

That's an awful thing to make peace.
All it took was a 400 million dollar plane, winning. ;D
