Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

you're beyond reach if you think that is considered a slur or even that whites can even experience racism.

go read Settlers by J Sakai. it's ignorant to think any sort of settler, whether they're from Isntreal or USians, has a position to speak on any of this. you thinking eradicating the state = genocide, that's because kkkrackers love to genocide a population of black, brown, and indigenous populations. the US also deserves to be eradicated. so does Mexico. sovereignty should be given back to all indigenous people and settlers need to shut up and sit tf down.

You're a moron if you think people can't experience discrimination based on the color of their skin. Believing yourself superior based on race is racism

[–] iceagec0mmie@lemmy.org 1 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

aww poor little kkkracker. don’t like the taste of your own medicine? 400+ years of you wet penny smelling asses acting superior and you think yall can experience racism? LMFAO i guess i’d be angry if i aged like spoiled milk also.

And this is why society is doomed to repeat itself. Morons like you. Dr.king's dream was an ideal reality and you can't see that

[–] iceagec0mmie@lemmy.org 1 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

right, society is doomed because the originators of these lands want you settlers gone? lmfao give me a fucking break. the world would finally be able to heal without you kkkracker ass settlers pillaging and raping these lands for all that it has.

Dr. King also would have hated you so i don’t know who you’re trying to fool. both King and Malcolm X had choice words for white liberals trying to act as allies.

“What we are witnessing today in so many northern communities is a sort of quasi-liberalism which is based on the principle of looking sympathetically at all sides that it fails to become committed to either side.” - MLK, May 1957

“I must confess that over the past few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to 'order' than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice.” - MLK, April 1963

your pathetic attempt to use MLK as some sort of savior is hilarious. you kkkrackers are too busy trying to act like you’re a victim in any of these talks when you are the main perpetrators of it. you aren’t committed to bettering society, you’re only committed to maintaining the status quo.

and another quote for your dumb ass.

“We must recognize that we can’t solve our problem now until there is a radical redistribution of economic and political power… this means a revolution of values and other things. We must see now that the evils of racism, economic exploitation and militarism are all tied together… you can’t really get rid of one without getting rid of the others… the whole structure of American life must be changed. America is a hypocritical nation and [we] must put [our] own house in order.” MLK, May 1967.

now go read a book, kkkracker.

"doomed to repeat itself" is not the same as just saying "is doomed". If you think white people are the only ones doing ill upon the world, I have a bridge to sell you.

Read your own quotes that you send moron. They don't support you. White moderates are a great issue. People who aren't willing to do serious efforts to right wrongs. He's not saying all whites are evil like you are. I'm not a victim. I never claimed to be a victim. I'm merely stating that you're a racist motherfucker.

None of the quotes you posted are contrary to what I said. Last one especially is one I strongly agree with. Giving back what was stolen

[–] iceagec0mmie@lemmy.org 1 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

i’m using his quotes to undermine your ignorance not to further prove my point. Dr. King was a piece of shit. that ISNT news. his political beliefs were just as liberal as the white liberals he was calling out.

you’re too busy on that “we too experience racism” bullshit to even fight for our rights. you are hyper focused on your position in this world rather than the disenfranchised.

your definition of eradicating a state is genocide. you are the genocidal kkkracker King was talking about because you don’t stand for anything other than the status quo. you don’t want to lose the power your skin gives you and so you trying to use this Black man’s word against me as some sort of gotcha. you are the definition of his hate of white moderates.

you aren’t willing to do serious effort. you aren’t acknowledging how white settlers all around the world have created systems so inherently racist. once BIPOC start fighting against it, it’s all of a sudden racist of us to target you. you should feel targeted because you are the cancer in this world. you and your ilk are why this world is shit. none of that blame can be put on indigenous people because your lot are the literal plague in this world.

keep calling me racist, kkkracker. i’m getting a kick out of it. maybe one day you and your inbred family will actually feel what it’s like to constantly have a foot on your throat. 400+ years of colonial white power structures and me calling you a kkkracker is racist. lmfao i also wish i was as ignorant as you, it sounds so blissful being this stupid.

Literally no, stop making shit up. I don't experience racism in the real world on any basis that causes actual harm.

you are the genocidal kkkracker King was talking about because you don’t stand for anything other than the status quo.

Moronic. The status quo is horrifying. I'm young, I don't have any power to change things yet. Every step in life is focused on changing that.

you aren’t willing to do serious effort.

I am, and am. My city is already doing projects to rectify redlining from decades ago, proactively. This isn't some theoretically things, it's what's been going on for years. Your basis of "they do nothing to change it" is wrong.

you should feel targeted because you are the cancer in this world. you and your ilk are why this world is shit

You're saying that I'm part of the problem just because I'm white. That's what racist. Even as I, and my local government are working to solve the issues.

400+ years of colonial white power structures and me calling you a kkkracker is racist.

Blaming people based purely on the color of their skin as you are is racism. Grow up. Realize the ideal goal is equality.

[–] iceagec0mmie@lemmy.org 1 points 3 hours ago

got it. you’re a young white man. that’s all i needed to know that your opinion on anything is truly worthless.

lmfao fixing redlining isn’t going to solve shit. this is why i know your dumbass has no lived experience about anything you’re talking about. keep telling yourself that you’re going to be able to vote for anybody’s liberation.

go build mutual aid webs. go talk to your unhoused population. listen to indigenous and Black elders. your opinion isn’t shit without them backing up your efforts since it’s your kind that put us in this mess. saying you’re young and you have no power is exactly why you pale faced morons sit idly by. it’s because you don’t leave your mother aunt’s basement. it just shows how useless you really are in the fight for liberation. you can’t even do the ground work but would rather argue about being called a kkkracker and then move your goal post to say you don’t experience any racism lmfao my city is making change HAHAHA so you really aren’t doing jack shit.

and the goal isn’t equality. there will never be equality without liberation and sovereignty given back to the indigenous. that’s what the goal is. not whatever your spineless ass thinks. this is exactly how i know your ass ain’t doing the work or the reading.

have fun yapping while we continue to fight and you continue to cry wild about racism towards kkkrackers. i’m sure that’s going to liberate so many people. lmfao
