As Asians become more powerful, they will be misrepresented like they do to Blacks and Hispanics. What is amazing, is how out of context these lardbags are. But it is all true. This is a hateful diseased nation of idiots. We need Liu to set it straight. Finally, an Asian with a backbone. I love Liu. By the way, I am Hispanic, and no. I am not Mexican for the scumbag stereotypers. To republicans and other scum, dieee

@SUPERPHANTAZM How exactly do you misrepresent someone by showing a video clip of them in their own words? And if you actually believe these comments are out of context, then search YouTube for "goodwin liu extended clip" and see for yourself that this discussion was about one topic, and one topic only...reparations. Having backbone is an admirable trait. Shameless lying, like you are doing here, is not.

[SUPERPHANTAZM]

@morgenr It is out of context. There are all kinds of videos. Besides, you deny that American government institutionalizes discrimination? Just because they pacify the tiny number of Asians in the U.S. does not mean they are not screwing other vastly larger groups. Even if it were not out of context, it would be true. Civil rights violators and cowards.

@SUPERPHANTAZM It is not out of context and you asserting that it is does not make it so. And yes, I flatly deny that "American government institutionalizes discrimination", at least as you mean it. Discrimination is a natural part of human social interaction. What is morally wrong is discrimination solely on the basis of race, gender, etc. And I don't think there is a national government in the world that has done more to protect minority groups from discrimination. Yet it will never be enough.

If trillion dollar restitutions and a wholesale rewriting of American law (in order to accommodate racial preferences) for African-Americans is not enough to achieve a “healing,” what will?

what a dumb fucking jew controlled chink

[MrDonneiDarko]

is this guy asking for a second civil war?

this chink needs to get back to where he came from.

[MrDonneiDarko]

they had the opportunity for 40 acres and a mule and blacks didnt want it. they claimed it was too much work.

have you never heard of 'The Freedman Bureau'

blacks want reparations from between a white bitches legs, and get that white money

[joegully]

@jason101other The civil war part you got right, the rest DEAD WRONG.

Actually most crimes are BLACK ON BLACK not Black on White. 70,000 white women raped by black men? WRONG. How about the tens of thousands black female slaves were raped by the slave masters? Did you think about that? If Africa was a bad continent, then why the Anglo Saxons took a majority of Africa's resources to create America and enrich themselves? Or bought us to be used as labor from the Muslims? I suggest you stop.

@morgenr liu is a fucking idiot

[Bergertim]

More proof that Obama is a racist and a communist.

[Bergertim]

@TerrorTown7575 You're a racist.

[jason101other]

@espada9 Exactly. And don't forget 600,000 white men killed in the civil war, 70,000 white women raped every year by black men and the hundreds of thousands of whites who have been killed by blacks over the last 50 years. Black people should be giving us reparation for us bringing them here and getting them away from the hell-hole that is the entire continent of Africa. Without whites, they also would not have cars, tvs, phones, planes or trains, or medical advancemnts.

@TerrorTown7575 Of course you won't take it out on him by yourself - you downlow simians don't have the stones to go one-on-one against a human. You have to get a "flash mob" together to have any hope of putting up a fight.

[TerrorTown7575]

@gekkobear Shut the fuck up you HONKY. Pay me those reparations before I take it out on you.
