He is naive. He has no experience. He is very pliable. We can shape his policy if we befriend him and work with him early on. I think we'd just be happy to get a trade deal that doesn't bankrupt our exporters, even if Theresa May has to have her pussy grabbed. It would be a bonus if it doesn't happen on live TV.

Maybe I am missing the sarcasm... they got their names from their owners. However, many Africans (and other races) were involved in selling their compatriots to the slave trade... so maybe that's what you were implying?! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I should have been more clear with the snark there. My point was that being a slave owner and so mandated by law as being above your slaves (and believing it) didn't stop the owners from...inclinations towards them that they acted on, so why do his supporters assume Milo can't have the same attitude towards black people simply because he wants a piece of them? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Preferably one way I know Trump is not personally responsible but it is because of his plans to make America 'great' that this will happen more frequently. Maybe he should know what it feels like. Unless anyone can give a valid reason why this British man should be barred from entering the USA. Edited 22 February 2017 by Rincewind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps he shares the name of someone on a no fly list? Perhaps he looks at things online in the course of his job which have put him the radar of the NSA for some reason. We don't know.

Also, because he was Welsh,, maybe they suspected him of being a sheep shagger. Just lucky his name wasn't David Jones. That would have been a big give away. Passengers with the names of Sean O'Donnell and Jock McDonald were also refused entry as a precaution as they may be a member of the IRA and involved in whiskey smuggling respectively..

I really hope it won't take another bloodbath to convince some people (again) that a different demographic of people to them aren't things and are in fact people, with all the civil rights thereof. Some states have shown time and again that they can't be trusted to pass and keep quality equal rights legislation. Why this keeps on becoming an issue a century and a half after I simply don't know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
