If you believe racism is a problem of the past; you have not been paying attention. If you believe racism will somehow go away because of this you are naive.
I’m an election judge, and in ‘24, this black man walked in with his beautiful daughter, and while he went to vote, this innocent girl was bragging how wonderful tRump was, and how her class voted too, and that she was happy tRump won in her class! I wanted to weep right there! Here this sweet child, not even understanding the fact that a black women whom she’d never been exposed to- except probably negatively- running for President and she has a shit for brains father who voted tRump! So sad!!
1) Kanye backed a conservative white politician with a WELL DOCUMENTED history of racial bigotry.
2) During Reconstruction, more than 1500 blacks were elected to political offices in the south, including 22 Senators and Congressmen. (That’s not including the ones who were elected and lynched.)
3) Trump asked, “What do we have to lose?” EVERYTHING. His quoted number of 72 during the Civil Rights era illustrates how effective white supremacists were at dismantling black political power.
1,769. That's the amount of named and known victims of lynching that I've sourced and mapped to the best of my abilities. That's just between 1900 and 1950, and I'm halfway through the list. I'm on a hiatus due to work, but I'm expecting to reach a minimum of 2,300 named and known individuals by the time I finish just that 50 year span. That's not including the people I can never know the names of, the "five bodies found lynched" reports. We seem to desperately want to return to that.
I have a black buddy who I tried to warn and explain to after the fascist traitor won again. He basically said "they're not coming after us like they always have, they're going after them, so imma sit this one out"... I fucking told him then. "...You're not safe, you're just next..."
If you're not a white, straight, male, christian you are not safe, you're next. Then they will even turn on each other after they've subjugated or removed enough of the minorities. Fascists won't stop on their own.
Someone pointed out that while the Jews and blacks and gays and Roma were slaughtered in camps, the white sons of Christian Germans wound up getting killed in the military. The outgroup gets slaughtered and the ingroup gets drafted.
I feel the same as a female when I hear women say they are conservative. Oh? I guess you prefer the government having control over your uterus instead of yourself and giving up just your rights isn’t enough but you don’t want any other women to have control over theirs. Traitors.
Don't forget the trade wife ideology. Not only controlled by the state but made entirely dependent on a single male and controlled by the patriarchy as a whole. And that willingly. "It will not be me, that suffers under my choices." Is their entire mindset it seems.
When a lot of women are too busy fighting amongst themselves over who is skinnier, taller, shorter, has better hair, more followers, etc.? The entire society culture mindset has to shift first. Growing up with magazines like Cosmo didn't help.
The racists fooled them into thinking that being rich trumps being black (or brown, gay, female, etc.). It does, for a while. They don't realize that once all the minority poors are gone then the hate will turn towards them too. They think they've bought their way out of the reach of any hungry leopards.
That's no justification given his very high level of functioning and obvious capacity to value social relations. I've worked with the mentally impaired almost every day for at least 12 years now, and almost none have harbored such bigoted attitudes. And among the very few who did had incredibly racist caregivers.
Dave Chappelle is a TERF, is all. He's not a Republican/Conservative/MAGAt by any stretch of the means. He doesn't like trans people - otherwise, he's a Liberal.
Yes he did, because he realized that he was being laughed at, not with, by white conservatives. He realized that his joking about these things had contributed to normalizing racism, he even talks about it. Pathetic that he can't see he did the exact same thing with trans people, fuck Chappelle, that Saudi blood money loving fuck

I thought there was a chance when Biden won, but the centrists didn't take action. I guess we will see if it's too late this fall.

50 Cent also made a dumbass comment something along the lines of "Who cares if he hates black people?" But Em told him to shut up

Oops, sorry about the BAD editing! The part about the 72 goes with the part about the 1500.

Yup. There's always be a minority to go after. If they got rid of everyone else, eventually it'd just turn to different factions of the same religion.

Not just uteruses, your vote, your bank account, your credit, your ability to buy property, your privacy, your ability to say NO.

Fucking traitors. My father has 3 daughters and voted Trump too. Im so betrayed. You'd think women would rally together against this.

Also, 2025 has said repeatedly that they want to repeal the right of women to vote.

It's simple really, guys like Kanye & Dave Chappelle simply love their money far more than they care about Black America (or America in general)

There's plenty of racism available in all flavors of US culture but regardless of the color of your skin the rich gonna hate and exploit the poor.

Chappelle turned down a shitload of money for season 3 of his show, he just walked away.

Je did it because the contract stated comedy central would own the characters and likeness of them forever.
