    The fact that Germany who committed one of the biggest atrocities in history was like “fuck we fucked up bad please accept our apology” years after the war.

    While America contributed to slavery yet can’t be like “we’re sorry we hope we can unite everyone” instead are like “why are you making whites look bad”

    Is hilarious and astounding

    After the civil war Lincoln was trying to unite the country again and gave Confederate leaders a pass and allowed them back to Congress. They should have all been jailed and or executed.

    Forgiving insurrectionists is a US tradition.

    We made baby steps by prosecuting the Jan 6th insurrectionists, but thr system allowed Trump (Republicans) to pardon every single one of them as soon as he was back in office.

    This is why you don't forgive Insurrectionists, you HANG them. The next time some putz says come and fight for me, they'll remember what happened to the last bunch of morons.

    "But the fascists might use fake insurrectionist charges to hang people!" say the moderates who ignore ICE openly murdering people.

    Yeah, those that try to overthrow a free and fair election should hang.

    Way too much surrendering in advance. They're always threatening about something or another, you can't just automatically give in because they MIGHT fight back. Call their bluffs, every time. Make them work for it. Make them earn it.

    free and fair

    I wouldn't call our elections free, as corporations/billionaires/the parties essentially get to veto anyone they don't approve of, and the presidential election certainly isn't fair, Trump and Bush got elected despite not having the plurality, and in Bush's case, not even the most electoral votes.

    But the constitution gives congress near total discretion as to a traitor's punishment. Brazil's Lula demonstrated how you use that tool to consolidate power to enact the will of your constituents.

    Yeah, but only the kind of white people who deserve far worse than "very bad treatment."

    And those are the white people who are now in power, abusing everyone else.

    He holds a grudge because as civil rights were popularised his father was outted as a slum lord who would single out poor black families for worse treatment by putting a 'c' next to their names on their applications and tenancy agreements to indicate they were "colored people" and worthy of less consideration.

    Racism and injustice is the Trump family's legacy project.

    This is a Class War. Racial issues are divide and conquer campaigns by the owner class.

    Whites are mistaken to support them. To be fair, we all trust the wrong people, not the least those trusting the establishment democrats to stop the r party openly seeking to fix elections and rule by reign of terror.

    Still in charge, still passing the buck, leading others to blame reform minded people fighting for a winnable strategy for their loss. And or bigotry, as if that would excuse fircing doomed to fail campaigns on us.

    Get new opposition and organize or enroll your kids in hitler youth. Those are the only choices.

    Ugh. This reminds me of a relative asking me 'aren't you afraid of how you'll be treated if minorities become the majority?'

    I think my mouth literally fell open. Not religious ideologies that hate women, mind you. They meant racial minorities in a predominantly white area.

    People who ask questions like that know in every cell of their body that the system that they thrive in treats others horribly and justify it by believing that anyone in power would do the same.

    So no, I'm not afraid of a race or nationality of people. I'm afraid of people with inhumane ideologies.

    People who ask these questions generally are the type of people who treat others badly because they believe they are better than them... so they expect to be treated how they treat people

    aren’t you afraid of how you’ll be treated if minorities become the majority?

    Many (mostly white) people are convinced that others will seek "racial" vengeance.

    It's all throughout the myths regarding what they thought would happen if we freed the slaves, to what they thought would happen if we allowed black people equal footing under the law, to what they thought would happen if a black man was elected to the presidency.

    It's really one thing the entire time: the false insistence that "race" is some kind of determining factor in a person's soul or essence, and the loathsome postulate that at some point there will be a "race" war in which their "race" will reign supreme.

    It's in the Nazi myths; it's in the KKK myths; it's in the Turner diaries; it's in the neo-Nazi myths; it's in the Manson family myths; it's in the Ruby Ridge myths; it's in the Waco myths; it's in the Timothy McVey myths; it's in the myths of the racially motivated mass shootings in South Carolina and New York; it's in the MAGA myths.

    To say the idea is pervasive is almost an understatement.

    These people continually try to incite a "race" war through their actions and insist that if another "race" was in charge they would do the same thing.

    Really, they're just massive pieces of shit racists and they haven't realized that most people aren't such losers that they consider their "race" to be worth killing or dying over.

    If you need an apartheid system that gives your group better rights and opportunities then the rest of the people, and if that is intrinsic to your self worth (and your ability to make a living) then you are a failure. Some people are ok with that even though it means they are a loser who need special privileges to succeed in life. Being on the same level as everyone else = very badly treated.

    He's right. It's getting bad for us white people out here. I can't even say racist, sexist, or bigoted stuff at work anymore. It's so hard.

    I even got the side eye once from somebody halfway across the room after I said that I thought people on minimum wage should just work harder if they want to be able to pay rent for their shitty apartment!

    or they were just looking at me while they stretched, I'm not sure, they had headphones in. but still, can you believe it! you can't say anything anymore..

    I don't care that food is unaffordable. I don't care if my kid has to go into crippling debt for an education. I don't even care that I can't afford to fight my wife's cancer, so she just died. I will not share my water fountain.

    The fucking delusions of these white supremacists. If they ever took an interest in anyone but themselves they'd realize they don't have it so bad relatively speaking. But they'd rather whine, self-mythologize as some kind of heroic fighter for the master race, and kill anyone who disagrees with their mountain of utterly moronic, childish bullshit.

    Everyone knows they're being increasingly screwed but not necessarily by whom.

    If there is nobody harnessing that anger and directing it towards its source, bad actors were always going to harness that anger and misdirect it.

    We all knew the country did not know better but we still refused to put forth a winning reform campaign that would best these guys time and again.

    Still trusting aristocratic corpoatist opposition still running as good cop to r bad even as r's play hitler.

    When you inhabit the peak of social privilege, and habitually debase those you consider different, equality sure looks a lot like oppression.

    Oh, is the sad pale man upset because brown people assume he's up to no good when they see him walking in the neighborhood? Follow him around the store because he must be shoplifting? Detain him at the park because white men can't be parents without suspicion? Right, no, because he literally never leaves his bubble, makes lesser people shop for him, and couldn't be assed to raise his stupid children.

    Yeah, and by white people he means his dad. Because you know, his dad was such a racist piece of shit that wouldn't rent to people of color and Woodie Guthry wrote a song about him. Becouse he was such a piece of shit.
