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.
These are rich people fomenting a race war to avoid the much needed class war. Don’t fall for it.
There are more than a billion racists who love playing their part. You described why it’s happening, yes. That doesn’t mean those effected can just ignore it.
You have a privilege and are waving it in those people who don’t have it faces.
“Just ignore the racism that affects your life everyday!”
Thanks for the advice I guess :(
