But it is still the best nation on earth. No one can reasonably name a place with more opportunity, prosperity or collective power.

Whites have it better here than anywhere else. Blacks have it better here than anywhere else.

The masses a being manipulated right now by people that do not have their best interests at heart. Social media enables the aggregation of the absurd.

Shut the TV off, shut the news off...enjoy your life...because it is fleeting.

Thank you, bro. This needs to be said over and over.

The media needs to vanquished if they continue to peddle this dark description of America.

How many people on this board honestly think their personal life reflects all the discord the media shows us?

It's the age-old battle of Capitalism (freedom) and Communism (tyranny).

This is nationalist

Doesn't paint blacks as sad sacks subjugated by the white man's boot on their necks. . .therefore this is white supremacy

Congrats, you are a white nationalist. . .a NAZI. . .or worse, a republican.

Exactly. I blame the media for most of this.

Telling American blacks that "cops are hunting their children for sport" only ends one way. Telling working class whites that they are racist, xenophobes who need to be culled from society doesn't bring us together.

The fringe of society doesn't deserve such a huge platform, yet time and again, the media gives it to them.

Is it struggling 2 groups of assholes I could give zero shits about fought in the street, and I couldn't be bothered to flip to MSM news to learn about it.

The media is just a message bearer for folks that see themselves as superior entities or beings. The media is a manifestation of the power base that cares not for any of us.

Live your life, enjoy your kids, enjoy the beauty around you, do something to help someone that can't help themselves, give someone an unwarranted gift...life is short, happiness is not derived from treating yourself per se, but serving others and enjoying singular moments in life.

I sound like a cheesy greeting card, but it's true.

We're at least $20 trillion in debt and socially dysfunctional. Don't let technological advances fool you, we're on the verge of being a bunch of lawless, STD-infected, type 2 diabetes animals.

Actually the us is doing alright mostly

The left is desperate for trump to not succeed though because that would drive a stake in their hearts for a couple of decades

Their fear is palpable when you understand it. Obama left nothing positive that is lasting then trump succeeds? Imagine what that would do to them.

Race relations were so much better when politicians and media pundits didn't constantly talk about it.

People could more easily perceive their human relationships individually. Today, I worry my black friends resent me because of the things they are constantly told about me by people on tv who don't know me.

Ignoring it is why we're in the shape we're in.

I can't imagine not being bothered by the pile of shite we're leaving our kids.
