    I don’t understand how anyone reasonable would think it’s somehow good that he “stands by his words”. He’s essentially confirming he’s a bigot, racist, and general waste of oxygen. Hopefully the “free market” can figure out what he does for a living and make his life suffer as much as he wants others to suffer.

        I guess I should have put the word “reasonable” in all caps for emphasis.

      It is a little refreshing compared to blanket denial and insisting the “true” racists are the people who call him out. Or crocodile tears and insisting “that’s not who I am”.

      But yea, still not good.

    Oh I’m sure many Black folk would be interested in visiting their ancestral homelands, but they have a hard time finding them for some reason. I WONDER WHY THAT MIGHT BE.

            Yes in retrospect the Turkish Delight Diet never really got off the ground for a reason.

            And that reason was Type 2 Diabetes.

          My conspiracy theory is that no Turks would ever knowingly consume Turkish delights, it’s simply a deep state ploy to fatten up the rest of the world for harvesting in the future.

      I would better go to Wakanda - it is the most technologically advanced nation on the planet. Narnia is just some Christian crazy world.
