We Had A World Dominated By The Soviet Union On The One Hand, And The Americans On The Other Hand. They Called It The Cold War. But It Wasn't Cold. I Am Someone Who Comes From The Third World. In The Third World, The Cold War Wasn't Cold. Millions Had Been Killed. It Was A Proxy War.

I Cannot Emphasize Enough How Wrongheaded This Is. Withholding Criticism And Ignoring Differences Are Racism In Its Purest Form.
