A negro has difficulty in living in high latitudes because of lack of vitamin D creating levels of sunlight and that's just for starters.
I don't know how high you are referring to Denver is 5,280 feet above sea level. Haven't seen any race have a problem with the altitude, unless you have a breathing disorder. We are considered medium latitude, but just north of us I haven't noticed any disparity in race due to the latitude. I think your ability to handle such things is on an individual level.

Re: Racism

To be honest I think if the lad who took the penalty was white twitter would have been just as bad, the lad who missed the penalty would have been torn apart. Just so happens he was black so race has been brought into it. Racism is not only one sided.

Like someone else on here said, black or white treat me right and I respect you, do wrong and I wont respect you .

I can’t see any other way of interpreting this comment than as racist with hidden references to Ubermensch and Untermensch

This exactly. Remember when David Beckham was hung in effigy for some calamitous mistake he did on the pitch?

And what if the lad had scored that penalty?
Would they have said that was because he was black then?

Freedom of speech.

We all have our own opinions, and they are things which no-one can take away from us. I'm sure that they'd like to, in order to control us more, but they can't.

Consequently, they do what they can: deny us the right of free speech.

In a civilised world, if we were allowed to speak as we wish, some would agree with us and others would disagree with us. That is perfectly understandable and acceptable.

So why is it not possible for us to state our opinions freely, yet accept that others will disagree with us?

More importantly, why is it not possible for those who disagree with others' opinions to state why they disagree and enter into a civilised discussion about the matter...
instead of automatically issuing the tired-old 'RACIST' accusation?

I don't know who they are banning or why, but as much as free speech should be defended, that does not mean absolutely anything should be allowed a public platform. I know Trump was banned, and for very justifiable reasons. When people of influence use misinformation and lies in order to manipulate others, it is in all our interests for them to be denied a platform.
