Thanks for your answer.
In my opinion, the United States is the best country in the world for African Americans to live in.
And the rest of the world agrees with me: millions of immigrants try to get into the United States each year. (These people are not trying to get into Mexico. They choose the United States more than any other country.)
And, we’re by far the most generous country, as we accept 1 million legal immigrants per year, far more than #2 Germany at 300,000.

Yeah even China called the US on black relations. (Grant you China was resorting to whataboutism to deflect an issue raised about Muslim work camps but still.

Unless you have personal experience…

This is funny. One needs to have anecdotal evidence for this but everything else needs science. Does the millions of blacks wanting to come here and the zero wanting to leave suffice as implied anecdotal evidence?
 
I think we can have the best country for African Americans yet still have some issues that can be corrected. They aren’t mutually exclusive. I think many AAs would agree with me.
 
I remember when my mom told me he died. I was 5 years old. I remember not knowing exactly who he was, but I do remember that it was important enough for her to tell me.
 
Kneeling for the Eucharist is respect. Kneeling for the fallen is respect. Since when is kneeling a disrespect? It has nothing to do with respect and everything to do with what “a land of the free” actually means.

This.

My solution is to deliberately wait for forty minutes after scheduled kickoff in football, whether to turn on the television or show up at the sports bar, missing the first quarter along with the politics, discussion of the politics, and more babbling about the politics. For hockey, I’ll be aiming for the beginning of the second period.

It’s not whether I agree with the politics or not; I don’t want them in my relaxation time!

I didn’t read many of the later Heinlein novels because wading through the politics got painful–and they’re almost identical to my politics!

I also completely ignore celebrities in general, and even more so when they think I should listen to their opinions. I fail to see why theirs should carry any more weight (or even as much) as the guy at the gas station cash register.

Celebrities and would-be celebrities such as “influencers”, you-tube “stars”, and the like should all be registered and tracked–we’ll need them as a protein source after whichever apocalypse (short of Armageddon) we end up with . . . and maybe pro athletes should go on this list, too . . .
