    Like I said, that’s quite the position of privilege you’re coming from.

    What basic human rights have been denied to you? When has a whole town tried to murder you?

        Repeating “climate change” doesn’t answer my questions:

        What basic human rights have been denied to you? When has a whole town tried to murder you?

        Please disabuse me of my prediction that the answer to the first one is “none” and the second one is “never.”

          Ok, I have been lucky enough to never have my rights denied, because I don’t even live in America.

          Maybe you people need to realize that many people don’t miss people black people being hanged, but being able to run a house with one salary, not having crazy seasons, the Earth not hitting warmth records every year, a not corporatized world and not having youth with their brains fried by Tiktok.

            And yet you are insistent that a black person in 1964 was better off than a black person in 2024, which is just demonstrably false. I demonstrated it already.

            And not just America. Most of Africa was oppressed by white European colonists.

              No, I never said that. I said that the average Westerner had it better in, say, 1984/94 than 2024.

                Again- we were talking about the 1960s. The person you responded to made that clear. I made that clear. Everything I referenced was about the 1960s and you kept saying climate change makes today worse.

                You are either being dishonest or not reading anyone’s posts before you respond.
