Yes, what a lovable guy. 

Clearly this virus was deliberately concocted and released by democrats hellbent on destroying Trumps re-election in November.

Trump is doing an incredible job under very trying circumstances and as is typical, the Democrats are finding every way possible to worsen Trumps progress.

No matter what the lying leftist lunatic fringe tree hugging, whale kissing, hypocritical, Trump hating sheeple think, the President is doing a magnificent job. And you better all get used to it cuz he's staying for another 4 years!

I can't edit it but I did the link wrong link. Google search "I identify if as attack helicopter" if you want a good laugh at all this whackery and wokery we see these days.

What?

Despite what some may think or spout. My initial question was asked from the heart. What separates us? Can we decide? It's clear that we can decide our sex and the law seems to back that up. At least in some countries. Why not race? We all have African DNA. All of us. So why not?

This was interesting. A snippet I found intriguing which seems to back up my argument. There are S. Africans here. What do you think?

In the post-apartheid era, the Constitution of South Africa has declared the country to be a "Non-racial democracy". In an effort to redress past injustices, the ANC government has introduced laws in support of affirmative action policies for Blacks; under these they define "Black" people to include "Africans", "Coloureds" and "Asians".

In 2008, the High Court in South Africa ruled that Chinese South Africans who were residents during the apartheid era (and their descendants) are to be reclassified as "Black people,"

My only other question is, is it possible to have a discussion here without the children starting tangential arguments or childish attacks?
