Our differences are microscopically insignificant compared to those who want to deceive and/or kill us.

He said he related to the woman because his mother grew up in a “Jim Crow South”

Does he still vote democrat?

I will hate anybody in anti-fa or any such group now, forever, and utterly. They are subhuman filth. So there

Good for him! You have to taste hate and then make a difference to help stomp out that hate. His family has lived in that hate called Jim Crow and instead of pounding it to death it appears he’s learned from it and tried to make the world a better place.

As a Rule I choose to only hate people who hate me.

Unfortunately, that includes about half the Population in our Country.

I like Perry’s movies and think he’s a really nice guy. My family loves the Madea movies. His message has never been “racial.” He does not demonize white people. His movies are an accurate portrayal of fun loving, God fearing Black families and what they have gone through in their lives.

Tyler Perry's Media movies are really funny. And they usually have a positive message. I also believe that he refuses to move his production company out of Georgia; he is refusing to follow the "woke" herd.

I believe in the Golden Rule, and follow it. Treat others as you would like to be treated. But don’t F with me, or my kids, because you’ll see a side of me that isn’t very pretty.

His sentiments are probably similar to most Americans, but in a sense, they still don’t tell us much.

I don’t hate Transgenders, but I don’t want to go to a high school sporting event and see a guy who “identifies as a girl” slam-dunking basketballs over the heads of the females.

I don’t hate Hispanics, but I don’t want my government to let illegal immigration slide.

I don’t hate gays and lesbians, but I don’t want my churches minister to be an openly practicing homosexual.

I could go on and on, but simply saying you don’t hate someone doesn’t tell me very much. I know Leftists who walk around with signs that read “Down with Hate!”, but they in turn hate people on the political Right with a passion.

If we managed to sit this guy down and delve into his politics and what he feels government should and shouldn’t do, I’m skeptical as to whether he’d make us feel all warm and fuzzy.

Completely unrealistic request. Naive and foolish if you ask me. People will be people.

I’d suggest you don’t give them that kind of power over you. After all, they’re just lost fools.
