“I’m troubled by anything directionally in our country that separates people,” Blank told Newsday. “America started without any of us, other than Native American Indians. This country was built on inclusion and diversity, on celebration of those differences, supporting those differences, and everybody being the very best they can be in their own way. I’m opposed to anything that takes away from that.

The genocidal policies of the Nazis resulted in the deaths of about as many Polish Gentiles as Polish Jews, thus making them co-victims in a Forgotten Holocaust. This Holocaust has been largely ignored because historians who have written on the subject of the Holocaust have chosen to interpret the tragedy in exclusivistic terms—namely, as the most tragic period in the history of the Jewish Diaspora. To them, the Holocaust was unique to the Jews, and they therefore have had little or nothing to say about the nine million Gentiles, including three million Poles, who also perished in the greatest tragedy the world has ever known. Little wonder that many people who experienced these events share the feeling of Nobel Laureate Czeslaw Milosz, who anxious when the meaning of the word Holocaust undergoes gradual modifications, so that the word begins to belong to the history of the Jews exclusively, as if among the victims there were not also millions of Poles, Russians, Ukrainians, and prisoners of other nationalities. — Richard C. Lukas, preface to The Forgotten Holocaust: The Poles under German Occupation 1939-1944

In what way is this truthful?

It never stops. It will never stop until America reinstalls another Globalist-controlled Marxist as President.

We are a nation in which the majority are idiots.

These people are shameless in their misunderstanding of Trump’s point in vetting potentially dangerous infiltrators. Bandwagon Bozo’s of mass ignorance on their little soapboxes.

How miserable is your life when you have to go out of your way, every single day, to find something to be offended over? These people are sick.

crap; yet another reason i may be compelled to root against the Falcons as much as I’m not a fan of Brady and Belichick as footballers.

Another ungrateful SHJ

And this country was SAVED, not by “diversity” and “inclusion” but by the blood of hundreds of thousands of overwhelmingly WHITE CHRISTIAN YOUNG MEN who gave their lives so you could shoot your mouth off with sheer stupidity

You know, Blank, the same ones who liberated the concentration camps in Europe. I guess you’ve forgotten that. If I had my way, you’d not be in your precious luxury box today but rather touring the American cemeteries in Europe and visiting former camp sites. Then down on your knees in appreciation.

So GFY. You are just another spoonfed Rich SHJ who’s bought into the BS and dares to bite that hand that has fed and will continue to feed you

You owe Trump and the rest of us an apology, you POS ingrate

Arturo is a fecking Atlanta millionaire leech in my book. No value added, nor value received from his teams.

“This country was built on inclusion and diversity, on celebration of those differences, supporting those differences”

Like the horrific personal slaughter and wanton property destruction between Patriot citizens and the Tory citizens throughout the Revolutionary War, slavery throughout our history until that culminated in the massive War Between The States in which brothers were pitted against brothers, followed by the discrimination against the Irish immigrants, Catholics and then Jews, right Author? Like that?

Jeez, what a putz.

Not much. The colonists came over in groups, forming their OWN colonies, separated, and distinct from others. The states formed a unified Federal Government, with the states retaining the rights not enumerated in the US Constitution.
