Republicant C-Span Caller-350,000 Black Men Killed In Viet Nam |
|
Hmmmm, the total number of Americans in Viet Nam who were killed was 56,000...
And then she said Bobby Kennedy told Dr. King that their service in Viet Nam was a quid pro quo for the food stamps and welfare they received... The food stamp program was started in the early seventies; after Bobby was dead...

Forgive me, but they are so bizarre, that they have comedic value for me. :silly:
The people we should always be aware and VIGILANT of are the super-intelligent PsyOps players from right wing think tanks like the American Enterprise Institute (AEI). Sometimes when those "silver tongued devils" begin to spew their filth, I have to conduct more research to counter them.
The intelligent, morally bankrupt right wingers are the most dangerous.
Whereas, IMNSHO, the ones who spew bile on C-SPAN are just pathetic ... sometimes comical in a warped universe. :shrug:

5. What was he trying to say? |
|
Is "killed" the main verb or a participle?

She said African American casualties in Viet Name were 350,000...I suspect they were around 8,500 which is still very sad...
I think 340,000 were the total American casualties in WW ll or thereabouts...

I have always wondered why people don't look things up? Long before the net made it easy, I would spend a lot of time the library searching for facts and figures if something sounded dubious to me.
As in so many other aspects of society, people prefer to just accept what they hear as "truth", never question the source, and then pass the "info", (usually embellished), on to the next individual/group.

I think African Americans represented about ten or eleven percent of the armed forces at that time...If whites died at the same rate you would have had over 2,000,000 casualties, more than every American war including the Civil War combined...
