The Supreme Court is releasing key decisions on issues such as affirmative action, student loan payments and LGBTQ rights. Follow here for the latest live news updates.
The US is as fundamentally white supremacist today as it was way back then - if you need reminding, just think back to 2016 when more than half of all white people in the US voted a KKK-approved colostomy bag full of tanning lotion into the Waffle House. Or you could just take a look at who the main victims of the carceral slavery system are.
The US is as fundamentally white supremacist today as it was way back then
Segregation; lynchings; slavery; these are all things that were systematically outlawed and struck down in our society today. To say that white supremacy is just as bad as it was in 1960 is an utterly blind take and completely ignores what we’ve accomplished today. It’s still a problem today, yes. But if what we’re complaining about is a spray-tanned muppet who is now being legally shredded apart, I think we’ve come a long way.
Stating purely that over half of white people voting for the clown is also ignoring the other half who did not- or the intentions of the half who did vote for him. I highly doubt that a majority of the half who did vote for him were crossing their fingers for the next racial uprising.
Segregation; lynchings; slavery; these are all things that were systematically outlawed and struck down in our society today.
Segregation in the US is alive and well. We watch cops lynching black people on tv all the damn time, and slavery is literally enshrined in the constitution.
It’s still a problem today, yes.
It’s not a problem - it’s a feature of a fundamentally white supremacist society.
a spray-tanned muppet
A spray-tanned muppet that was enthusiastically endorsed into the Waffle House by the majority of white USians while he was hurling around white supremacist dog-whistles.
Its very easy to forget, but theres a difference between the majority of Americans and the majority of American voters… it was more like 15% of the country that voted for him and of that 15% about 60% were white, 40% nonwhite. so it’s more in the range of 5-10 percent of the US population that you’re misrepresenting as a majority white supremacist sentiment.
