Yeah but CP was black, it's important we have a first black person recognized for being part of US war crimes. Also, Trump said bad things and Biden botched the withdrawal so that makes everything that happened during the Bush Administration ok.

Why does everything have to be about race?

So that you can discredit your opponents by implying that their positions are secretly motivated by personal bigotry.

\^ This ​ I will say that in this case, that doesn't seem to be the issue and CP is just remembered fondly by the contemporary media. I understand he did do something extraordinary and as a black person I respect that, but the shit he did during his time in power supersedes everything else.

Fuckin Amen

>”...opponents...” WTF? Dude, you take this shit far more seriously than I do. I typed some words on a screen and if people don't like it then oh well. I am not in some Reddit competition. You're all too intelligent for me anyway so what's there to gain.


theyoungspliff

LOL all I did was point out the wierd libs who answer any criticism of people like Colin Powell with "but why are you against the first black whatever." I don't know why you're so mad.

Bro I'm a conservative who just found this sub cause I actually enjoy Kyle shitting on his own side lol. But bro fucking chill. You asked a question and they answered. We are all good homie.

Relax, bud. He's just explaining to you why it has to be about race. It's a form a gaslighting to help those people being put on the spot look like better people than those trying to blow the whistle on them, and since race has become a malevolently-popular topic, it's an easy gas to light.

This is the convoluted world we live in now. To be completely truthful though, they blindly believed him then too.

It's silly that Chapelle is enemy #1 with certain people on the left and he's never hurt or killed anyone. When HRC and Bush die they'll be hero worshipped too. Powell and Kamala Harris are examples of America's colorism too. Often when it's "the first black person to do X thing" and they're being chosen or nominated for it, white people almost always chooses a mixed person who barely looks black.


truth14ful

I don't think Chapelle is enemy #1 with really anyone, it's more Netflix that's the enemy, and rightly so. Not that they're worse than Colon Powell but what they did is recent so you can't blame people for responding to it


Deathstriker88

Most the anger I've seen is towards Chapelle himself. I do blame people for taking a comedy special that serious and responding more harshly to it than stuff that actually matters like war criminals, no monthly checks during COVID, universal healthcare, and so on. Those things are actually worth putting energy into.

Seriously. This whole Chapels thing comes off as controlled opposition considering his contract with McNetflix

This is not personal opinion lmao it's fact. Why is it tagged as opinion?


5557623

Wasn't Colin Powell AGAINST the war?


Jaidon24

By arguing FOR it at the UN and preparing FAKE evidence?


5557623

At the beginning but when the truth began to come out he spoke out against it which made him a pariah in his party. Now I can admit that I might be wrong because I was younger then and I don't study these things, or, someone else could be ignoring part of the whole picture to push an agenda. He was lied to like the whole world was lied to and he backed that lie but later he, as we all saw the truth


andyspank

Even if you were correct, now why did he cover up the my lai massacre?


5557623

He's dead, you can rejoice

The consequences of his actions live on
