I feel there is a lot of undisclosed racism of people here on this site.

DenoPenno comments on Jan 11, 2021:

The telltale racist thing I see often is white people who suddenly apply the "n" word to other white people and go to great lengths to tell you anybody can be an "n." I do not like this and they are so wrong, but their racism shows up clearly.

I agree fully with Sam Harris on this one. His words on it are true but I don't think you are going to win any friends. The best that happens here is that seeds are planted and years later the believer starts to understand it. Believers are not instantly convinced and I hate their claims where they say atheists are because they are lying.

It looks like great confusion and has nothing to do with Trump or the South doing anything again. Sometimes I see another flag and I have asked about it. The answer is that they fly it because they support the police. I anger others when I reply I support them also when they are not killing someone.

Democrats appear to win control? WTF. Biden got more votes than Trump and Congress was going to count those votes. They have nothing to do with assigning or re-assigning votes. They cannot give them to someone else regardless of how Trump begs, whines, or threatens. The Trump mob thinks differently and they do not understand our rule of law. Trump taught his followers to "hate" everything he did during the last 4 years. This is a control mechanism. Now Trump supporters even want him to "call it off" when earlier they were of a different mind frame entirely. Trump must be having a ball. He isn't tweeting much but said once "it's going to be a wild one." Some people in media even have balls enough to ask if Trump has anything to do with this. Were they hiding under a rock for the last 4 years?
