Biden had the nerve to call Putin a “war criminal” — Pt. 2

Now THAT’S some next-level, pot calling the kettle black — bullshit!

First things first: I posted in the comments on Part 1 of this topic, how I got a “private note” from the Editor of AfroSapiophile saying:

The overall premise by the title is okay, but the material you have, such as not knowing what Russia has done to Ukraine for over a nearly a 100 years, and framing their war as if, c for people they replaced indigenous with… I cannot publish this with that magnitude historical reference errors. Please revise.

To which I replied:

Delete/Removed it from your publication since my OPINIONS and lived experiences with friends of mine who are Russian don’t agree with your world view.

I have to admit, after dealing with white men and their women in the Navy, who questioned my skills as a Russian linguist (even though I graduated from the Defense Language Institute at the top of my class, while carrying my oldest, who was born there), I never expected my own to do the same. But, without a doubt — THIS, was that.

I was excited to write for a publication for us where I could share what I’d learned about subjects to which my people may or may not have been exposed. We, of all people, definitely need a view of how the Military Industrial Complex (MIC) is really used, particularly given the inordinate amount of Black folk who choose that path…
