    Those are not racist comments.
    Racist means you overtly say someone is inferior .
    None of the above does that. If you think they are racist then anyone who refers to a non white minority will be considered a racist.
    How in earth can you think EQUATING poor children of white and non white race is racist???
    Nor I am not foolish enough to take some remark out of context as being what you want me to think it says.
    As for Chauvin, of course no court is going to call it out because it is unprovable and because the jury were instructed to disregard race in their deliberations.

    Except that when you ask whether he would have done that to a white man you answer your own question.

    and I never said what you said about the left... some people on the left and some people on the right may have said what each of us said they did

    The poll was a ruse in my opinion. He was going to do it regardless of the outcome of the pretend poll.

    However the poll likely helped him....

    Figure out more about the bot farms trying to use Twitter to shape public opinion and discourse......

    Try to lure back Trump who generates massive traffic and interest....

    Shows his platform isn't being used as an agent of the federal government to suppress free speech.

    Clearly you're not up on what's considered racist in the U.S. these days :) Then again, it's confusing, much of it depends on what party says it ;)

    Quite the thorough list of Trump's racism, eh?
    No need to look them up all the details are contained within the link.
    You're welcome!

    They were rhetorical questions intended to make a point but thanks anyway for taking the time to respond without one of your own.

    Thanks for your input. I think you are probably correct! No one can accuse Musk of being stupid.
    Also, I think Musk has brilliantly showed the hypocrisy of many leftists who praised the old Twitter for getting rid of Trump when they said they had a right to ban anyone, but here they are suddenly pretending they forget what they said. I got a big chuckle out of their double standard. :giggle:

    Honestly, I saw nothing rhetorical about your questions.

    I didn't think he did, but still, it was their call to make. Just like reinstating him is Musk's call.

    Perhaps you heard a whooshing sound as it flew over your head?

    Yes. So why the poll? To get 88 million inactive accounts (who went inactive due to the Left-Wing censorship of all facts deemed inconvenient to the Left-Wing narrative) to log back on and vote on whether to reinstate Trump. It gives Musk/Twitter an opportunity to reconnect with the voices on the other side of the issues. He could have just reinstated him after all.

    No, didn't hear any whooshing sounds. Is that another of your rhetorical questions? I maintain your series of questions in your previous post weren't rhetorical. Maybe you don't know what a rhetorical question is?

    YES! He Did!
    Constantly...
    If Trump was anybody else, he would have been banned years earlier...
    Obviously, Trump Repeatedly Violated Twitter TOS...
    ^That is a FACT!

    There absolutely needs to be a middle ground as a ffa is obviously unacceptable. But what twitter had, as well as most social media and big tech platforms is overwhelmingly and unacceptably biased in favor of democrats to the point of propaganda.

    now at least for twitter…and I predict eventually most platforms, we are having to start all over and find the perfect median all over again. One that is fair to both sides.

    I’m not misrepresenting anything. And if you haven’t seen cancellation culture the left created that’s not my fault.

    Are you accusing the previous Twitter site as being tilted to the left?
    If so, what evidence do you have for that?

    I’m pointing out the reality it was, as was openly admitted to by the CEO of that time, and his top staff. Both openly on podcasts, as well as moderation staff on a hidden camera without realizing they were being recorded.

    it’s not a speculation. It’s objectively the case.

    You should do your own research, nothing I said was incorrect.
