The current IPCC report is readable and pretty comprehensive:

Spending two weeks in a hotel room with all the amenities you can imagine (Contact to your beloved ones, television, internet access) is in no way comparable to solitary confinement, especially given the short time and the fact that you know when it will end. The gp comment is incredibly tone deaf.

Groundbreaking idea there. Why has noone ever before thought of just giving everybody the same opportunities?

What do you mean by victim culture in this context?

This still has nothing to do with the point they were making, that black people in the U.S. are still disadvantaged due to historical reasons.

I think it's pretty clear they were talking about the U.S., which IS a white majority country where white people DO have an advantage

More like strangers taking pictures of you without your consent (and often knowledge) with the intent to increase their profits and not sharing any of that with you.

In 1991, Israel evacuated 14325 Ethiopian Jews in 36 hours using 35 aircraft, with up to 1122 passengers on a plane [1]. It's such an impressive feat, those must have been some of the best pilots, to be able to fly such an overcrowded plane (even though they stripped the seats from the planes it was probably still overloaded)

They did not say that blacks don't kill blacks, just that the reason for those killings is not the victim's skin color.

They are not simply banning new foreigners from entering the country (which alone would be bad enough, imho), but also many green card holders who were legal residents and now face an uncertain future. Also, does "In addition, the United States should not admit those [...] who would oppress Americans of any race, gender, or sexual orientation" apply to everyone? That would mean bad news for Mike Pence, among others
