A new Senate report calls out the FBI for lying to Congress about its social media monitoring, pointing out the FBI’s hiring of ZeroFox.

    It being a racist country doesn’t mean each person is racist. The country took part in decades of genocide, slavery, segregation, coups in countless countries, placed countless dictators in power, and inspired the Nazis (yes literally).

      It’s had its issues, there’s no doubt about that. But it set the precedent for a new kind of society in 1760. It’s an amazing country.

      Also, it didn’t inspire the Nazis, that is a ridiculous comment.

      I no longer see systemic racism like there was at one time. Do you know if any government policies that are racist in nature? I don’t.

          No, it’s liberal free speech. The big news outlets in America do not report their apartheid.

          Only leftist media does and you’re labeled a terrorist for watching it.

        This post is about a government contract that is racist in nature. Is that close enough for you?
