I dont trust Putin, but what he said is true. Now the question I have is why did he say that when he could have not said anything (even though most people including those outside of U.S. knows that)? Putin is smart. He is usually three moves ahead of opponents. Is he playing a divisiveness game with US citizens or some other game? Then again, maybe he is just calling out the MSM for what they are. The irony is, Putin, a foreign  leader, will get a pass from the media on this. If Trump had said this, MSM, with their obvious bias and hatred of Trump, would claim Trump was starting a constitutional crisis. 

Here is a great article on media bias:

Being gloomier doesn’t mean you’re a better person.

Mr. Maher called this “progressophobia,” a term coined by the cognitive psychologist Steven Pinker. Mr. Maher defines it as “a brain disorder that strikes liberals and makes them incapable of recognizing progress. It’s like situational blindness, only what you can’t see is that your dorm in 2021 is better than the South before the Civil War.”

“If you think that America is more racist now than ever, more sexist than before women could vote, you have progressophobia,” Mr. Maher said. Look at the changes America has made on disputed issues like gay marriage and marijuana legislation. “Even something like bullying. It still happens, but being outwardly cruel to people who are different is no longer acceptable. That’s progress. Acknowledging progress isn’t saying, ‘We’re done,’ or, ‘We don’t need more.’ And being gloomier doesn’t mean you’re a better person.”

Why is the history of "The Eyes" so racially important, but the racist history of the Democratic Party, not so much?

Are you saying my comment is racist

Are you saying my comment is racist 

No. I agree with everything you have said. I'm saying the BS being spouted by successful black people is swelling the ranks of hatred.

Actually, I think the media has been pretty soft on Russia since Biden was sworn in. The truth is, Biden has been extremely soft on Russia and if anybody could be accused of collusion – it would be Biden. Cancel our pipeline, yet approve the Russian pipeline? Are you kidding me?

Says the black man who was one of so many who succeeded. smh

There is such a thing as stupid and rich. I suppose you can also be racist and rich, too.

That was so racist.

This question should be repeated by all of us – often.

And I'm assuming there isn't a socialist alive who can answer that question truthfully.
