An op-ed is not an objective news article. The NPR author tells us: "As a Latino, I've had non-Latino friends ask me to recommend Latin American authors and novels. This is fine, and welcomed. But if all I have to offer the curious-minded is literature that comes from people who look like me, speak my language, or come from where I come from, that's a problem." The lawenforcementtoday.com author hears: "The article is simply saying that reading too many books by white authors can be a problem" The NPR author isn't simply stating that. There's value in doing your own thinking, instead of letting others do it for you. The NPR piece clocks in under 800 words- it's an easy read. No enormous time commitment to do your own research, or at least double-check the information you're receiving is accurate. The lawenforcementtoday.com guy knows you won't do that.

I read this response and SMH. What you describe is PRECISELY what the MSM does to push the liberal agenda and incite emotional responses in THEIR followers. I heard once that when you point a finger at someone there is one finger aimed at them there are THREE aimed at you. True story. Geez. Mitch f 1

NPR is facing backlash for this https://www.rt.com/usa/491089-decolonize-bookshelf-white-america-racist/ ...you are so bad at this. The NPR piece is suggesting everyone should read all sorts of different books, by all sorts of different authors. The lawenforcementtoday.com piece is telling us the NPR piece is telling us we shouldn't read books by white folks any more. The worst part is, the lawenforcementtoday.com folks provide all the documentary evidence necessary to demonstrate they're peddling BS. They understand their audience isn't gonna bother checking. I don't think anyone's shocked to learn Russia Today knows how to push your buttons.

Flame away boys I am in an I don't really care mood today Ya sure? Step back and take a long hard look. This humanity thing does NOT seem like the work of a supreme being. But if it is.....I am not impressed. Right or wrong you just can't ignore the facts. White people have an advantage over black people, women with nice boobs have an advantage over women with saggy or tiny boobs even if they have a voice like Donald duck. Taller well built guys have an advantage over short chubby guys with no neck. If Donald Trump looked like George Clooney there wouldn't be enough democrats in this country to fill a school bus. If God created us all, and expected us to be fair and to all love each other, then he screwed up BAD. Let's not ignore the fact that the Bible not only condones slavery.....it gives specific instructions on how to beat your slaves.
Jerry Rapp Posted June 23, 2020 Posted June 23, 2020 before too long you are going to have to choose which side you are on. I am betting that there will be several hypocrites on these pages. Mitch f 1

Quillback Posted June 23, 2020 Posted June 23, 2020 Don't know the biblical references to slavery myself, but slavery was just about universal throughout the ancient world. We certainly have our issues, but we are so fortunate to be living in the here and now. BilletHead, Terrierman, Johnsfolly and 2 others 5
