@Nisse_Hult If I'm right-wing for not believing everything I hear and not trusting politicians on the left any more than the right. Maybe that is just fine. I consider myself liberal, but that word has come to mean things that it was never meant to mean and has lost much of its original meaning. If you think I'm right wing I can only say that I'm probably to the right of where you stand. How far to the left are you? Extremes are often appleaning but impractical.
"Millions of Americans have met and continue to meet prejudice in their daily lives...
Now [you,] might not have experienced this..." I have experienced a share but that is unimportant. What is important is that we not inflate an issue into something it is not. I do agree that the world is not perfect. The world never has been and it never will be perfect. However, if you cannot see the wrongness it what the President said I don't think I'm in a position to explain it. Only know that it cost the lives of hundreds of young black men who, were not necessarily incessant or guilty but, did not deserve to die. It cost the lives of a handful of police officers whose only crime was wearing a badge. It cost the trust of millions in the system and each other. Through fear, it did win the party a few minority votes. these votes were why he did what he did. He also alienated the party's base. Which was not the plan.
The NYT is a regular read of mine but I would not say it is any better, only different. Maybe it is hard to understand but confirmation bias, preferential reporting, and poisoning the well are all common for the news. Fox is just loud and obnoxious about it.
"...it's not in Americas own interest if the Russians where to start gobble up European countries." I agree no it wouldn't be, but few Americans would object. We are tired of war here on both sides. The people that have loud voices get air time but most of us are done. Russia knows this and knows Trump. Europe should keep an eye on Russia because the USA will probably not come to the rescue.
