Why is it racist to call ICE masked thugs or gang members? 🤔Am I missing something?

    At least people who joined the police might be doing it for the right reasons (protect the vulnerable, lock up proper villains) even if the system is broken AF.

    People signing up for ICE... I mean your either a racist scumbag or an easily bought class traitor.

    I mean, yeah, kinda.

    But it's also appropriate use of language to turn the very same labels around back at the state that uses them to marginalize citizens to begin with.

    So, I ain't mad at it, even though this critique of it is true.
