The uneducated simply view a makeshift Youtube video and make a judgement straight from that because that fits to their current mindset.
Proper education does not create fixed mindsets but should enable an open mind.
So indeed the education system in the USA may be very wanting in some areas and needs fixing or there are just too many drop outs.

That we can agree on Uncle Fester...

He just see's the world thru a different set of glasses than most other people. That does not make him Bat Sh*t Crazy..

Then we really have reason to worry

A public comment from that video:

We're sending a real message to ISIS here. "If you look white enough, you can do whatever you want and get away with it."

It's an image... don't know why you can't view it, as I've checked it with 2 different browsers.

Anyone else can't see it?

**Reschs** · 09-01-21, 09:54 PM

Yes I can see it. Maybe he forgot to sign in.

Must be a browser or settings issue then, as others see them.

Works on Chrome, IE and Edge.

The images I post are linked directly to the image on Postimage.

Several other members post images using the same method.

Here's the direct link:

Had a similar experience about 6 months ago using Firefox, think i had to wipe and its dependencies and re install using Revo Uninstaller

I can see it in Firefox 84.0.1 (64bit) under Linux Mint 19.3

I wish people would stop thinking that privacy is a crime.

Trump maybe a knob but it was laughable that Twitter and FB choose to stop his platform for his rhetoric when that carried on a treat when there were threats to close them down. the 1st amendment seems to only be a one way street.

A persons First Amendment Rights aren’t absolute - for example, they don’t allow an individual to make false statements (which Trump was undeniably doing regarding the election result) or incite violence (which is what many claim Trump was doing immediately prior, and during, the riot).

More importantly for FB and Twitter, they have the absolute right to determine who does (or does not) use their platform, and they can deny individuals if they breach terms or rules. Doing so don’t mean they are breaching an individuals Constitutional rights.

See post #793 for details.
