Sleepy releasing $5 billion for 3 US prisoners in Iran is a mistake

We didn't pay them a dime. We released their money, which WE had been holding hostage.

Stupid Tommie-poo.

Kevin, learn from history.  They lie EVERY time.

Kevin, why is it evil to state facts?  I'm somehow evil when I say that the black man doesn't take advantage of our educational opportunities.  It's true, yet that makes me a bigot?

I recall telling such a story, and Kevin claimed that I was a bigot.  I next explained that the words came from my educated friend (and his family), and Kevin told me that me friend was racist.  I then explained that my friend is black, and Kevin claimed that my black friend hates his own people..........because he told the truth.  Dom's son just graduated Purdue with a PhD in pharmacy.  His daughter is a freshman in Purdue's pharmacy school.  Dom has a degree in business, his father was a mechanical engineer.

Dom is correct...the black man does not take advantage of our educational opportunities.  Fact, just look at the stats.  I recall Kevin calling me racist when I posted the percentage of black people with technical degrees.  State the truth, and you're a racist in Kevin's mind.

''They lie EVERY time'' How very MAGA of you.

Doesn't matter. We cut a deal using THEIR money. A win for us.

And it's not like it really matters whether they use that money to buy cornflakes or bombs. They'll tax and starve their own people to get whatever funds they think they need. So we're helping their ordinary citizens, albeit indirectly.

A blanket general statement about the members of one race is by definition racist, especially if it's negative and especially if it's untrue.

You're a fucking racist. Period.

What part is untrue?  

The generality of the statement about what "the black man" does or fails to do. The same could be said, with the same degree of accuracy, about "the white man."

Delving deeper into Boiler's imaginary friend's rant, the fact that blacks have fewer technical degrees than whites (I assume his imaginary friend meant, on a percentage basis, and I'll stipulate for now that it actually is a fact) cannot and should not be attributed to any faults on their part. They have economic and social disadvantages, which even Boiler would have to concede are real and often daunting, and that's the primary reason why they produce fewer college graduates than they "should."

It's not because blacks are inferior, as Boiler heavily implies with his fantasy narrative about his imaginary black friend.

Clear?

No reason to debate Boilerman's racism. Anybody who brags "Some of my best friends are black" is pretty much a guarantee.

While our Willy Loman, Boilerman, is still doing an outside sales job that often gets filled by recent college graduates, I'm sure he's seen plenty of people of color surpass him. No wonder he's bitter.
