I don't that's what we are dealing here with. There are many real threats to humanity, all caused by our greed. Now there are strong-appearing men (never women) all over the world pointing to minorities and blaming them or denying those problems exist. Fascism is strong-appearing leaders rounding up the people they have scared sh!tless before, instrumentalising them and make them hate said minorities: All for te purpouse of power. No values. Just greed. Much more than just bullying.

@@TheRonster1957 Stalin would not have been amongst the Allies if Germany hadn't started a two-front war. The enemy of my enemy is not always my friend, but when every ounce of strength matters, you make strange bedfellows. Also, you are mistakenly equating gulags to death camps. They were horrible, but Stalin didn't build Zyklon-B showers he first had tested on people with disabilities before unleashing them on other people. Invading the USSR to free its citizens is what you call a total waste of time and resources. Napoleon figured out in one winter that trying to take Russia was a really bad idea. Hitler had "never start a land war in Asia" shoved down his throat. Finally, the biggest butcher of the 20th century wasn't even Mao Zedong, whose "Great Leap Forward" was brutal in its numbers. He was named Thomas Midgley, Jr. An American chemical engineer, his two biggest weapons were his brainchildren, leaded gasoline and freon. Untold millions of people and animals slaughtered because he didn't think through the ramifications of his choices and worse, supported misinformation campaigns about them.

If you believe in government taxing and regulating all of these things, by definition, you are the fascist. Democracy just means any system where some group of citizens vote for their government.

@@logangodofcandy Sorry pal but I disagree. In a two party democratic system a single party is not gauranteed to rule forever. Your Republicans have used all sorts of improper methods to disenfranchised certain voters. That includes illegal gerrymandering to manipulate the voting districts which minimize the voting power of minorities and other segments of this society. But that's okay with you because you do not believe in equal rights for ALL tax paying Americans. This society is the spitting image of PRE-WW2 Germany. As a result Hitler started a war that took the lives of 400,000+ Americans. I am not on that privileged nonsense you are espousing.

Is it a President and former Secretary of Sate saying their best friend and mentor was a KKK member and recruiter in the KKK? Is it Malcolm X who said the white liberal Democrat is the black man's worst enemy? Is it a Senator who says that he does not want his children growing up in a racial jungle? When you say you encounter white supremacy, do you tell black people that you have to do all their thinking for them when they ask you to shut up and stop thinking you have to speak for them? Is Candace Owens a white supremacist? Is Ben Shapiro a white supremacist? Are any conservertive blacks white supremacist?

Huh? The assertion is White supremacy is everywhere, the nation's biggest threat. So why would you be still waiting to encounter it "in the future"? It's been a day, have you encountered any yet? Oh, and what is your take on black supremacy?

How did you manage to convince yourself that “voting blue” will protect democracy? Do you have any real understanding for what constitutes a democracy? Has it ever occurred to you that your apparent ideological view of the world might actually be the real threat to democracy? Are you unaware of the fact that bigotry exists among all walks of life? Of course, I have many more questions, but I doubt you will read this far into my message as doing so will cause you far too much internal stress.

So stunning and so avant-garde that she got a government funded TV show overseas to echo her statements to a live audience of clapping seals. (It sure is easy being brave for progressives. It seems mostly to consist of going to venues filled with your own fanbase and talking smack about people who aren't present, then waiting for applause.)

Great letter Ms. Falco. You're a great actor too. I am a black man. I am 69 years old. I went to elementary school during the 60's. It was when schools were being integrated. I became friends with many jewish, italian, irish, polish, german, and other people from europe. We never had any race riots or racial arguments. We were just kids learning about each other. Some of us are still friends today. I believe that racism and hatred and racism are taught by parents and other family members. I guess all the aforementioned people l mentioned weren't taught to hate, they were taught to love. Because of that love, l learned about customs of many europeans and they learned about black culture. All of this occurred in the city of brotherly love, Philadelphia. We were just kids going to school, learning, playing and having fun. God bless all my elementary school friends. That type of friendship is needed more than ever today.

I agree. People that hate on the basis of ethnicity, race, gender, disability miss the eff out! My very best friend was a black lady I sang with decades ago (different decade but not the last 2 or 3) who unfortunately died too young (a type of cancer.) I do not recall her mentioning her race or me to her about my Jewish heritage. We were more concerned about hitting the right notes. I recall her squeal with joy when we got it right! We just sang and danced together. Some things need a revival.

So true, hopefully, at long last, times really are a changing, don’t let casual racist or homophobic remarks be said unchallenged, I’m a 76 yr old white British woman, I’ve learnt if you don’t challenge offensive language, the racist will think you share their views. It gets easier to challenge I’ve found with age. Young people, who are hopefully better educated, for them racism isn’t an issue, homosexuality isn’t an issue. nor the transgender stuff. Thankfully they all work and socialise with each other. I’ve got real faith in the young, obviously I’m generalising, but big oaks from little acorns grow.
