I used to believe racism in the United States was overstated. Sure, it existed. But it's not widespread. Common.
Well...I was wrong.
"Zohran Mamdani is a terrorist"
"Mamdani supports ISIS and Hamas"
"New York City faces sharia law"
"Mamdani wants to murder jews"
The amount of shit published about this guy is absolutely insane.
He recently attended the 9/11 memorial ceremony.
He exchanged a brief hug with representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and smiled for 5 seconds.
Immediatly, politicians went wild
Senator Ted Cruz:
Speaker Mike Johnson:
He smiled 5 seconds in a 5 hour ceremony and they accuse him of celebrating terrorism.
Here is the video. You can clearly see that he was stoic, he hugged her, then he immediatly went back to being stoic.
At the same 9/11 ceremony, JD Vance and Howard Lutnick laughed and joked.
No one cares.
I never thought I would say this.
The US is more racist than I ever imagined.
This is very true, BUT also consider that they're enabling and rallying the actual racists here to join together and fight for racism.
The person who posted this joined 23 hours ago.
This could not be a more obvious psyop that all of you are falling for.
Falling for? They're not wrong. I wasn't countering them, just adding flavor.
Are you saying the PsyOP that Russian and Chinese trolls aren't trying to amplify discontent?
The PsyOp is convincing people of two things: 1) that every person who voted for Trump did it because they're racist (as opposed to greedy, which is differently bad) and 2) that the majority of Americans are racist.
Enabling racists is bad, I'm actually not arguing against that. Racists may represent the U.S. right now, that does not mean that most Americans are racist.
The ven diagram of Trumpers and Racists isn't a circle, but from 15 ft away it is.
It's like the people who claim to be against genocide but support the Israeli government and claim it was self-defense.
If you don't consider yourself a racist, and you hire a racist POS into office who immediately attacks anything even remotely non-white, (for a second time), you're a racist too. The financials don't read into it.
The majority of Americans might well be a little racist. Now we're not talking about hanging people from a tree racist, but they're cheering DEI being dismantled, against equity rights and are often noted as saying "those people"
You're confusing racist people and racist systems that people live in.
Racist people piss themselves and we all have to smell it. Racist systems are pools where the water is deliberately 20% piss and we all have to live in it.
You choose not to physically remove the people pissing in the pool. Sounds like a “you” problem.
