Umm. Somebody read a bad translation of The Cockroach and thought she understood it. It’s way worse than that.

“If you don't vote for me, you ain’t black.”

Is that a example?

My responses are based on reality, fairness and functionality and are formulated via human brain.

If you don’t like a response I make you might like my next response less.

I don’t have to like rattlesnakes, or your horizontal habits.

I hate cilantro, but millions of others like it.

Black women ‘married’ to Uncle Sam often need not marry black men.

Slavery was an invention of the white man in this country. Thus all whites are guilty of black oppression. If you apply the same logic to the black men in Africa that practiced slavery and sold slaves to the white man, “all black men have racial prejudice against blacks.”

The Transportation Secretary might rationally have chosen his living arrangements.

I have a different rationality.

No!

Mind your business!

“Kafkatrapping” is absurd.

The baseless accusations constitute contumely. According to Catholic moral doctrine, contumely is a grave sin. The victim’s life and good name can collapse in no time and potentially never recover.

Bookmark for daytime reading.
Kinda sounds like the J6 trials and the Trump trials.
And the Salem Witch Trials.

The book is about Brexit and Reversalists.

The globalists fail to understand that people of English-speaking nations have generally have a small upside and a large downside in respect to globalization.

People in English-speaking countries have little incentive to learn Polish. Poles have a much greater reason to learn English.

The language asymmetry corresponds to EU migratory benefit asymmetry.

“The word came into English from Old French contumelie, which in turn derives from Latin contumelia. That seems most likely to be a combination of con-, with, plus tumere, to swell. The link is that the swelling up was with misplaced or ill-judged pride, leading to arrogant behaviour.”
