Clearer Reason as to the main issue:

David Hogg Into the Spotlight

Into these discussions has stormed the 25-year-old Hogg, who has positioned himself as the man capable of steering the Democrats back on course using lessons learned from their recent losses.

Hogg has criticized his own party for what he views as an alienating stance toward men, and cited the perceived obsession with cultural issues as a major factor in the Republicans' 2024 victories.

"What I think happened last election is younger men—they would rather vote for somebody who they don't completely agree with, they don't feel judged by, than somebody who they do agree with, that they feel like they have to walk on eggshells around," Hogg said during a recent appearance on Real Time with Bill Maher.

Hogg was again thrust into the center of this internal debate after his election to vice chair was deemed to have violated DNC bylaws which encourage gender parity among the party leadership. DNC member Kalyn Free, who lost to Hogg in February and brought the challenge against his victory, said that the committee improperly tallied votes and failed "to distinguish between gender categories in a meaningful way." In doing so, she argued, it "violated its own charter and bylaws, undermining both fairness and gender diversity."

To some, this seemed like irony—the party voiding Hogg's election based on gender-based requirements, after he had criticized it for an overt focus on gender issues. To Hogg it also sniffed of retribution for his wider attempt to recalibrate the Democrats' focus and party makeup.

See? That is your problem. You and I care about History. The people who are okay with erasing white people based it all on political ideology that is educated on extremely cherry picked and narrow history factoids and examples along with an unhealthy dose of presentism. Sticking with objectivity is not their goal. Most of them are not even aware they are doing that as they are just parroting ideas that others in their echo chambers tell them. I know a bunch of kids at my local Uni who say the same thing and they get it either from the same professors who push the same thing or social media. Primary Sourcing is not something they do as it would prove them wrong.

Erasing the culture is the goal, despite the fact that they blame others of doing what they themselves are doing as a distraction.

Take it easy man, we do not want to over stage Citizen Kane, here.

Mr. Tan Suit would win best supporting actor, AND best costume design, by itself.

In fairness, many Hollywood actors and actresses are really good at being aware that is happening and yet keeping all their mouths sealed shut while the raping is happening, and for decades. And then pretend to be shocked once the shit comes out. Guess, that is called: Acting.

Pretending she didn't know anything about it may be Oprah's best acting outing in her career in the businesses.

I do not get it. I just see 3 pictures of Tubman.

Wrong again, friend. And on multiple counts. Albeit some creative liberties were taken, it was not a biopic after all, Cruise plays a character who is an amalgamation of this guy:

And this guy:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eug%C3%A8ne_Collache

Both fought with the Bakufu and both earned high status, with Brunet achieving even a higher status still, along a position in Japanese society and government.

I invite you to read their wikis, albeit there are better writings on their adventures.

Except Justin Trudeau, an more than once, too. This is why up here the Liberal party refused to pass a Resolution damning black face. It would make them... Hmm.. lose face if his pictures were more widely known.

True! It's called acting for a reason.
