And that is why people in other countries are seeing Americans as such racists and haters. It's irrational but it's apparently a matter of pride to state it. This isn't something you need explain to me cotton, it's an impression that Americans have done quite well in getting across.
When Donald Trump said to protest “peacefully”, he meant violence.
When he told protesters to “go home”, he meant stay for an insurrection.
And when he told Brad Raffensperger to implement “whatever the correct legal remedy is”, he meant fraud.
War is peace.
Freedom is slavery.
Ignorance is strength.
What? No one talks about modern schools being a kingdom where social kings and queens harass and push around serfs? Or places of very little real learning and nearly no free thinking? If no talks of that mind than they are ignoring the obvious.
You see in her one room school house there was little hiarchy other than age as the older students helped teach the younger. It was something given the students called a "responsibility" , pretty much foreign to today's super sized, super ineffective schools.
It just dawned on me that perhaps you answered as you did thinking my mother was talking about integration. She was not. She was saying that smaller schools were better. She supported integration
I have spoken with citizens of many countries in the past 3 years in my travels and business meetings. Yes, they think that Trump is rough and can be crude. The ones that I have spoken too do not think that Americans are racist or haters. A lot of them think that Trump has said things that needed to be said and done some things that needed to be done. I think that people that say Americans are racist and haters are merely driving an agenda.
