@DelanoAccording to MSNBC’s Ari Melber the answer is yes https://www.nytimes.com/2018/11/01/us/politics/donald-trump-tax-returns.html

Trump should be in prison, not on the ballot in 2020. If Dems cant make this happen, they full of crap. TREASON, HIGH CRIMES & MIS., FRAUD, s*xUAL ASSAULT, TAX EVASION, ESPIONAGE, BRIBERY, INCITING RIOTS, VIOLENCE AND MURDER. IF DEMS DONT DELIVER, THEN THEY IN ON IT TOO. If the average citizen had done any of these things, guess what...

@Troy You keep assuming that "racism is exclusively about black and white, when it isn't. White Americans are currently biased against brown immigrants, as are some black people. Also, racism doesn't necessarily involve hate. It can be patronizing and paternalistic. And you need to familiarize yourself with some of the things that led to WWII like Germany's intense anti-semitism, and the undertones of the yellow Japanese attacking white America. "Racist" propaganda on all sides polluted the atmosphere during this war. Not to mention how blacks were subjected to racism in the segregated US Military for whom they were fighting! "Race" was factor during The Crusades, and the British colonization of India. And have you noticed what a factor race is playing in today's election??? Because you are a idealist, you want to believe that racism is misunderstood. You are in a near panic about climate control and social media, but think racism is a man-made nuisance that will juuuust faaade away. I think if it disappears, it will be because people will have evolved into everyone being the same shade. i didn't say people were "born hating folks of different complexions"; those are your words. I suggested that humans are predisposed to being suspicious of those who don't look like them and that this primitive defense mechanism spawned racism. And i can't believe you would pose the question about blacks of different complexions hating each other, as much as you talk about colorism - which is a cousin of racism, and is a caste system that still exists today. Since the concept of race is controversial, it follows that racism is a complex subject that is open to interpretation. Whatever. It's origin doesn't matter to victims of it.

Thanks @Mel Hopkins, right now I have it on the Books Main Page: https://aalbc.com/books/ and it is on the category's page as well. For example you will see it on the Romance / Fantasy Category. I even created collages of books in each of the categories. This was done just to help me on social media sharing, nt I think they are just cool to look at 🙂

@Troy I did read in books all of the things I referred to when sharing my thoughts, and i didn't deem what i said to be irrefutable facts. Your rebuttal, however, left something to be desired. Sooo, explain to me why do you do not think that xenophobia is a component of racism, - even if racism is taught. i assume you embrace the ridiculous idea of color-blindness when it comes to race, and that a white child looks at a black one and doesn't see that the black child's skin is different from his. Something his eyes tell him, not his parents. Instinct is involved in the survival of the fittest evolution. Those in a species who follow life-saving impulses replicate themselves while those who don't, die off, and what's left is a species that all share a common reaction to circumstances. This is really manifested in the animal kingdom. In primitive man a sense of danger did make adrenaline flow, making this reaction a component of self preservation, which is the bottom line. Has it ever occurred to you that children have to be civilized by their parents, and have to be taught not to follow their natural inclination, and that certain parents neglect to tell their kids not to be prejudiced against others. Have you considered that maybe it's tolerance that has to be taught, not racism? However, you are free to declare that racism is purely a learned response - because you read this somewhere. I think racism is many-faceted and a little more complicated than that because it deals with biology as much as ethics.

Sure chikdren can tell humans apart from each other, but the fear or hated based upon those differences is taught. Cynique where did you get this from? I know you did not read this in a book. Is it based upon an observation. At the risk if offending you, it sounds exactly like something Pioneer would say 😮 Racism is not inherent to humans: it is a learned behavior. America is perhaps the greatest teacher if racism. They have people beliving it is human nature... deep. @Chevdove, OK.

Hey man this us cool Omar on the Wire reading your book and now Wendy Williams shouting you out way back in 2005.. time is flying.
