      I don’t care that food is unaffordable. I don’t care if my kid has to go into crippling debt for an education. I don’t even care that I can’t afford to fight my wife’s cancer, so she just died. I will not share my water fountain.

        I mean, all they had to do ( and did) was join the cops, they are allowed to kill minorities without punishment

    If you need an apartheid system that gives your group better rights and opportunities then the rest of the people, and if that is intrinsic to your self worth (and your ability to make a living) then you are a failure. Some people are ok with that even though it means they are a loser who need special privileges to succeed in life. Being on the same level as everyone else = very badly treated.

    The fact that Germany who committed one of the biggest atrocities in history was like “fuck we fucked up bad please accept our apology” years after the war.

    While America contributed to slavery yet can’t be like “we’re sorry we hope we can unite everyone” instead are like “why are you making whites look bad”

    Is hilarious and astounding

      So the takeaway here is we need to invade the US , batter them into submission before they’ll become reflective and apologetic ? Similarly Russia, and Israel i guess

      After the civil war Lincoln was trying to unite the country again and gave Confederate leaders a pass and allowed them back to Congress. They should have all been jailed and or executed.

            We made baby steps by prosecuting the Jan 6th insurrectionists, but thr system allowed Trump (Republicans) to pardon every single one of them as soon as he was back in office.

              This is why you don’t forgive Insurrectionists, you HANG them. The next time some putz says come and fight for me, they’ll remember what happened to the last bunch of morons.

                “But the fascists might use fake insurrectionist charges to hang people!” say the moderates who ignore ICE openly murdering people.

                Yeah, those that try to overthrow a free and fair election should hang.

                  Way too much surrendering in advance. They’re always threatening about something or another, you can’t just automatically give in because they MIGHT fight back. Call their bluffs, every time. Make them work for it. Make them earn it.

        Lincoln was pro-reunification, but he died before reconstruction could really begin. It was Andrew Johnson who fucked everything up.

    He holds a grudge because as civil rights were popularised his father was outted as a slum lord who would single out poor black families for worse treatment by putting a ‘c’ next to their names on their applications and tenancy agreements to indicate they were “colored people” and worthy of less consideration.

    Racism and injustice is the Trump family’s legacy project.

      I assume Trump’s photo would have been hung next to Ford’s in Hitlers office should they have lived during the same time.

    He’s right. It’s getting bad for us white people out here. I can’t even say racist, sexist, or bigoted stuff at work anymore. It’s so hard.

      I even got the side eye once from somebody halfway across the room after I said that I thought people on minimum wage should just work harder if they want to be able to pay rent for their shitty apartment!

      or they were just looking at me while they stretched, I’m not sure, they had headphones in. but still, can you believe it! you can’t say anything anymore…

    This is a Class War. Racial issues are divide and conquer campaigns by the owner class.

    Whites are mistaken to support them. To be fair, we all trust the wrong people, not the least those trusting the establishment democrats to stop the r party openly seeking to fix elections and rule by reign of terror.

    Still in charge, still passing the buck, leading others to blame reform minded people fighting for a winnable strategy for their loss. And or bigotry, as if that would excuse fircing doomed to fail campaigns on us.

    Get new opposition and organize or enroll your kids in hitler youth. Those are the only choices.

    Yeah, but only the kind of white people who deserve far worse than “very bad treatment.”

    And those are the white people who are now in power, abusing everyone else.

    The fucking delusions of these white supremacists. If they ever took an interest in anyone but themselves they’d realize they don’t have it so bad relatively speaking. But they’d rather whine, self-mythologize as some kind of heroic fighter for the master race, and kill anyone who disagrees with their mountain of utterly moronic, childish bullshit.

      Everyone knows they’re being increasingly screwed but not necessarily by whom.

      If there is nobody harnessing that anger and directing it towards its source, bad actors were always going to harness that anger and misdirect it.

      We all knew the country did not know better but we still refused to put forth a winning reform campaign that would best these guys time and again.

      Still trusting aristocratic corpoatist opposition still running as good cop to r bad even as r’s play hitler.
