    I do extended stay travel internationally for work. I am frequently in other countries and there is no shortage of their racism and discrimination.

      I agree

      I’ve lived in several countries, and I travel a bit

      There’s racism all over the world, but it’s the US where it stands out in such stark contrast to the myth of the country

      The indigenous population were slaughtered, the country was stolen, it was built with slavery, and yet, there’s such pride in the fairytale that it was created for people to be free, and that everyone is equal

      That stupid fucker Deft, or whatever his name is, is pissy because deep down he knows that he benefits from a system that places a white guy above others and he knows that in a truly level playing field he’d be found wanting

        Wait… What? Americans aren’t aware of how the country was founded? Or slavery’s part in it’s past?

        Like Greeks and Italians don’t deny theirs? How about Spain, France, Portugal? Mayans, Incans, Aztec? French Canadians?

        Let’s talk about the Han Chinese, Taiwan. Japan and Korea…

        Man no one is sorry and they all downplay their past. Cut the shit
