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.
russian bots came on the scene suddenly on the reddit around 2016, right after trump won his 1st stolen election. i was calling out how news article are associated with russia quite alot, one of the first significant things happen in 2018, banning were becoming increasingly common of misconstrued critcisim of the conservatives. now every other large sub had become hypersensitive over the talk of potential racism in any form. Putin figured out early on they can use this as a distraction, and it worked.
