When he complained, rightwingers sent him homophobic taunts online.
Black gay Republican podcaster Rob Smith has claimed that “white supremacist” members of his political party called him “fa**ot” and the n-word during his Sunday night attendance of Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest event in Phoenix, Arizona. Though Smith posted a video of his brief interaction with the aggressors, commenters on X (formerly Twitter) noted that the video didn’t feature the n-word and mocked Smith his membership in an anti-gay political party.
“Last night in Phoenix, I was confronted and surrounded by some White Supremacists that don’t like gays or blacks in the Republican Party,” Smith wrote in a December 18 post on X. “They shouted ‘nr’ and ‘ft’ at me to make their point. However, I served in Iraq. I never back down. Ever.”
Perhaps not, but it would be nice if the wealthy shared their privilege with the less-fortunate, right? Last I checked Norway IS a Christian nation, after all… Would be awfully Jesus-like if they broke bread with their less-fortunate neighbors, now, wouldn’t it? Of course I’m not saying the burden rests solely on Norway; rather it is a shared burden of the collective.

Free movement of people is the most basic of human rights, and the easiest to guarantee. Literally helps your economy instead of costing you anything.

I’d rather Gazans come live with me. More opportunity here in the US.
As long as everyone is doing their part. Once one person decides " we don’t want others here" and starts human trafficking people to smaller states that don’t have the money or infrastructure a available to support a massive influx, then it becomes problematic. Not because of the people, but because of the ass-jacket that is forcing people without access to winter clothing to a place that is -40f (during a religious holiday about an immigrant being born in a barn because the town had too many people, and no one kind enough to let them in…) and therefore people end up not having the services they need to thrive.

And this is the difference between you and me, as people.

I’ll run and tell my Nigerian neighbor not to eat my face. He’ll get a kick out of it.
