Speechless...

Can’t we deport (repatriate) these folks?

qualifications of your first post...

I didn't have any qualifiers at all in my first post. YOU wanted to see racism (an idiotic thing to look for in my posts as I support LAW over anything else, BTW) so you saw racism.

Honestly, next you'll be telling us that you see a connection between politics and automobiles (or some other inane idea)...

Good day. (This is only intended as a dismissal, not as an earnest hope that your day is pleasant.) <<< THAT is a qualifier, BTW.

Uh, one last try:
Can’t we deport (repatriate) these folks?
1) The U.S. does not "deport" any but foreign nationals.
2) The people you want to "repatriate," the Juneteenth rioters, are U.S. citizens.
3) Therefore you are treating "these folks" as a particular group selected for particular treatment.
4) Your attempt to draw historical analogies to your original post has no connection to any history of or historic penal colonies. Instead, you were alluding to the African origins of the Juneteenth rioters. So the only viable analogy is to Liberia and Sierra Leone, both of which were founded as racist solutions to slavery.

So, yes, I was pointing to the racism in a rather obnoxious post.

Now, thanks for the dismissal: I'm glad you've finally decided to give it a rest.
