Quick response. Must've been a slow day at the troll farm.
The amount of energy being spent by the System on this issue is telling. It must be a vulnerability for them. They have to frame this as yet another example of mean MAGA's racism to try to drive a wedge between people and keep black people voting Democrat.

It's not that I disagree with the main point of the article. Of course it matters how we talk about each other as Ethan's comments clearly demonstrate, but the Springfield thing is not a case in point. The real story here is that it's another example of "officials" not giving a crap about tax-payers citizens and instead those tax-payers' money to people that aren't even legal residents when people are struggling with massive inflation.
This all started when the impassioned please of residents went viral on the internet, and what did said "officials" do? They gaslit the residents and the world, and corporate media and Establishment politicos did the same. Instead of addressing the concerns of constituents, they used it to score political points.
This is one reason why Trump is so popular. He listens and works to do something about the problem!
No one said anything about ALL Haitians except Ethan. No one assumes we are talking about every person from Haiti or of Haitian descent. Anyone can do a little search-engine work and find that the tradition I was referring to is called Réveillon which is a separate thing from the Voodoo practice of drinking the blood of a living cat.
As others have said, this is about culture not race. It's also about addressing the very real problems caused by the unfettered flood of illegal immigration that the regime has facilitated.
Don't change the subject. You made and perpetuated false claims that have caused real world harm. Own them or at least shut up.
1. The woman who filed a police report accusing her neighbors of taking her cat apologized to her neighbors
2. The woman who posted on facebook took down her post and apologized for her role in perpetuating rumors and hearsay as fact
3. The black dude who spoke about it at city hall did the same, expressed regret for spreading rumors that detracted from the real problem
4. The neo-nazis perpetuating claims haven't apologized or backed down yet. They are having a field day, in large part bc of people like you.
5. This is a problem of integration, infrastructure and economic development. Haitians were recruited to Springfield (legally) as workers for jobs that needed them, and they are paying taxes and contributing to the economy. But it was done too quickly and without enough support for the additional infrastructure and services needed to help with integration, which has led to eg some driving incidents including an unfortunate loss of life.
6. The family of the child killed in one such incident do not want him being used as a last minute racist political stunt. Harris has complied with that request, Trump has not. Where were you months and months ago when this was an issue? Seems to me you responded obediently to the dog whistle.
The real issues are slowly and steadily being addressed. It takes time and is a bumpy road. Trump and Vance had plenty of opportunity to bring it up earlier and advocate for support. But when did they ever do that? When did they ever even try to honestly discuss the real issues facing Springfield? Instead late in the game Vance perpetuated a sick lie that is a tired old well-trodden racist trope that rears its ugly head every few years in favor of people who prefer to foster fear over real vision and leadership, even after the city officials confirmed to him the rumors were completely unsubstantiated.
Your belabored apologist stance to Trump and Vance's dog whistling speaks volumes about your personal values.

You in your OP: "Haitians do eat cats. It's a fact."
Also you: "no one said anything at all about Haitians except Ethan"
I have to hand it to you, you make dishonesty look effortless. Congratulations, I guess.
