Reprehensible!
Freedom isn’t picky when it comes to Americans voicing their opinions without censorship. Everyone enjoys the right to free speech unabashedly. In fact, there are a large variety of influencers that will stop at nothing to exercise this right.

An Open Letter To Bruce Harrell
Dear Bruce, Fuck you. Fuck you personally, directly, and in particular. Fuck nearly everything you stand for. Fuck your crappy campaign ads to your crappier policies. You are the exact reason that no one wants a democrat. You're basically a republican, except the lite version, not the version that requires a monthly subscription.

Dr. Manmohan Singh: Why did India Fail a Historical Leader
It is striking to note that the leader who should be credited for pulling out 140 million people from poverty, who brought about telecom revolution in the country, who empowered the people with the Right to Information (RTI) in an effort to curb corruption, who initiated the UID-Aadhar card program make sure all received government assistance, who conceived and implemented NAREGA to ensure economic security for the unemployed, who respected the sovereignty of India’s institutional framework (in fact, up-holding its integrity—even at the cost of his personal reputation), who pacified the political disturbances in the troubled state of Kashmir (allowing for its real integration with the nation), who instituted measures to deflect the onslaught of a global economic recession, and who lead India into a nuclear deal with the USA, would—despite all these contributions—be awarded negligible personal or political credit in India’s history.

One of my dreams is that we will be identified by character, not skin color
About a hundred years ago, the great American (Abraham Lincoln) signed a special document of freedom that ignited a ray of hope in the minds of millions of enslaved Negroes burning in the fires of injustice. But today, even after a hundred years, Negroes are not free. Negroes are entangled in a chain of discrimination. In the midst of the vastness of prosperity the Negro population is trapped on an island of poverty. One hundred years later, the Negro population is still marginalized in American society, and that is why we are all here today to bring this shameful situation to the world.
