why does every powerful leaders who represent Black people eventually die sooner?

JFK, MLK, Malcom X, Lincoln, and a few of people were killed.

This is so sickening. Such strong racism and hate still exist today which is ridiculously unbelievable. I thought Americans knew better and had already gone over history. History isn't suppose to repeat itself.

The War in Iraq and Vietnam seem kind of like a repeat to me.

The War in Iraq and Vietnam seem kind of like a repeat to me.

A repeat would have to be an exact similarity. Not to mention that the factors that led to the both wars in Iraq and the war in Vietnam are completely different. You could say that Vietnam started in the 50s with Eisenhower when he blocked the election in Vietnam because he knew that the Communists would win, or with JFK, or with the escalation of troops with Johnson. The two gulf wars began with different factors than the Vietnam War. You could say that possibly the general idea of invading Iraq both the first and second times were similar, but ultimately the goals are unrelated and how they began are so very different.




I use different too much.

A "repeat", besides being used in a figurative context, extends only as far as the degree necessary to make that connection. The Iraq conflict is usually considered a repeat of Vietnam in regards to our foreign policy measures, what public consensus of our involvement amounts to, contending with rogue guerillas (we can go all the way back to the jungles of Bataan in WWII for this) and organizations as opposed to a government militia (Saddam's troops, themselves, were easily and shortly demolished), the need for efforts beyond a military solution in light of having to stabilize civil war, and plenty more.

To address misoshiru's definition: "...to win (as a sports championship) another time in succession" obviously doesn't mean, in the most literal interpretation possible, that every ensuing athletic victory is an exact clone on every single variable of some original performance.
