America has constantly let its veterans down. They just call them heros and then casually toss them aside to die. Whether it’s the black veterans after ww1 and 2, Vietnam vets, Iraq war vets, gay veterans dishonorably discharged, immigrant veterans being deported, and now Trans veterans
Globally 90 percent of billionaires are male; 65 percent are white; 60 percent are 60 years old or older.
The Super Bowl just finished. Did you see any of the two teams of mostly black men protest Donald Trump?
If they did their white billionaire bosses would fire them. See Kapernick
Oh fuck off. If it was truly about class why is in every single metric from wages, employment, health, education, and housing black and brown ppl currently are worse off then their white counter parts regardless of income and location. If it was only about class wouldnt it be the same across the board? And it’s ALWAYS been that way.
It’s almost like white ppl are pissed they’re being denied the dreams they actively keep everyone else from receiving and the rest of us are just suppose to forget about the very real problems specific to our races just to keep white ppl comfortable.
I don’t know about that. I’m a 1990 millennial and the vast majority of ppl my age collectively said fuck giving the extra effort for no return. I remember reading in my 20s that millennials pretty much gave up on retirement and started traveling.
It’s not defending conservatives. It’s pointing out that European exceptionally comes at the detriment of others which creates many negative opinions of the continent as a whole.
You don’t get to claim Europe is already great when their entire way of life is propped on colonization and exploitation on the global south. Whether or not it’s only conservatives that don’t see them as ppl is debatable considering liberal and conservative alike have exploited African for centuries and actually never stopped.
Was thinking more about the African countries that are still the victims of Eurpean economic colonialism
Europe is already great
That REALLY depends on who you ask
Pump the breaks there buddy. Canada has done plenty of fucked up shit that mirrors America and in some cases were actualy worse. They’ve just got better PR.
Trump is clearly a fucking asshole facist but ask the First Nations how much better and kinder Canadians are.
So slow genocide with open air prison vs quicker genocide?
To everyone calling them stupid. What exactly should they have done in this situation? What is the better solution when your only options are death or a faster death?
Im genuinely asking
To be fair blackppltwitter was getting flooded by white kids giving white friendly opinions and answers that got overwhelmingly upvoted and became the unofficial black concensus.
“I think white ppl using the n-word is completely fine” type of shit. Not the best way to solve the problem but how exactly do you stop a subreddit based on black culture become overrun by white kids
They were still telling students in med school as recent as the past 4 years that black ppl need less painkillers because we, “Tolerate pain better than other races.”
Ppl surprised by this rhetoric haven’t been paying attention
to make a serious push to take over the party
No theres not. This is the effect of the lemmy echo chamber. America is A LOT more conservative than ppl here like to admit. The actual left of the Democratic party are ppl like Bernie and AOC and they’re definitely not celebrated inside the DNC
too interested in bickering amongst ourselves
That’s because three Democratic party is a coalition of liberals and conservatives
Jesus christ maybe give them some credit for acknowledging they didn’t know? It’s not the like news was too keen on stories highlighting the positive notes of his administration.
She’s also brown, a liberal, and from New York. Even if she had the cure for cancer White America would rather crucify themselves than let her become president.
Sounds about white
As an American living in Germany I find it hilarious how Germans complain about the smallest cost of their prescriptions. I got some basic blood work done before my insurance kicked in and the doctor was going over the cost like I was going to flip my shit hearing it. I told him I was American and laughed. €25 for blood work and zero cost for just speaking to you? Sign me the fuck up. I paid $100 for a consultation about sinus infection that lasted 5 minutes at a general practice i Washington DC. You don’t scare me!
Nothing I hate more than ppl claiming there are “good” billionaires. A good billionaire would spend all their money lobbying congress to stop billionaires from being a thing in general
general reluctance of consumers to open their wallets due to higher interest rates and lingering inflation.
Article also mentions ppl dont have the money to eat at restaurants. Ppl probably are drinking at home with alcohol bought at corned stores
Hollywood is built on the exploitation of labor. Ppl like Harvey Weinstein wouldn’t exist if Hollywood didn’t exploit those who wanted immediate fame and fortune
