You know some Palestinians are American citizens, right? Like they have family getting bombed with the taxes they pay. It’s totally fair for that to be their number one concern, dude
I mean, I can tell you lack compassion - that’s your own issue - but you should at least care about not looking like an ignorant, callous, shitty human
You might call it callous, I call it reality. The least evil comes out of NOT letting Trump back in office. But since you can’t see past your own nose, you’ll end up causing your own destruction.
US. As in Americans. (And of COURSE it’s lemmy, so let’s pull the race card!) You’re going to lose your ability to vote here soon when your shortsightedness allows a candidate back into office that has already said he’d love for Palestine to be a glass crater.
The most good also comes out of making sure Biden has the best chances at winning. That means sucking up certain realities until the election is done. We’re here because a bunch of people just like you, wouldn’t just suck it up and vote for Hillary but protest-voted. At LEAST learn from past mistakes.
You’re just assuming literally everything you’re saying about me. You realize that, right? I don’t disagree with any of that stuff you’re saying (besides all the disrespectful, hateful shit obviously)
Anyway, you’re just a typical racist American, like most of us. You’re not special and you should try to do better.
Alright, now do another round where you fling stuff at me that you wish you could say to someone irl. lol. Just let it all out
Nobody made any assumptions about you. And nobody mentioned race except you. Projecting much? You literally started the first reply with “Are you a white American, by chance?”
Racism doesn’t mean “anything that involves someone not American or Western European”. It means thinking you’re better than someone based on their race; which I don’t, and clearly you’ve shown with your literal opening move trying to establish what race you can classify me as, so you can attempt to look down upon me for being said race.
For fucks sake, this line of defense may have won you a lot of playground arguments, but it doesn’t work in the real world. Acting like a victim, pulling the race card when it was mentioned absolutely nowhere, the tired old line “Do better” that every one of you regurgitate. Get some new material, holy crap. You’re just as bad as the brainwashed Q followers raiding pizza places.
Don’t go crying on the internet when Trump wins because you wanted someone more progressive and you end up with even more rights stripped away. And for the love of god…if you’re trying to establish someone else’s race in an argument YOU’RE THE RACIST.
Now, notice, I literally said we and try to relax a bit
I’m American. Of course I’m racist. It’s kind of something you have to try not to be around here. I’m not really trying to offend you. I’m just a brown American with my own thoughts and opinions on white Americans.
Here’s a question for you, because I appreciate that you’re responding. Would you consider an enslaved African woman living in the US in the early 1800s racist for having negative views of white Americans? What about a Chinese man that just spent tons of money to move to the US in the late 1800s but is denied equal rights and is exploited due to his race, would he be racist for his views of white Americans? Would you say Black Americans living in the early 1900s were racist (during peak KKK membership/terrorism)?
When was it, if not OK, at least understandable for nonwhites to be “racist” and when did it become unacceptable/stop making sense?
Finally, no, it’s not racist to talk about race. It’s actually completely fine. It’s only taboo in certain circles, like sex and politics. Acknowledging our racial background and how it makes us who we are is an important part of understanding and accepting ourselves. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with being white, just like there’s nothing wrong with being a man and no one here’s saying there is
Who’s us? Are you a white American, by chance?

That was great! Hope it felt good
