Being 12 and watching the live trial verdict and seeing my older cousins fuming one of my most formative experiences man

Plus instilled in me that even tho we were kids of recent african immigrants at the end of the day our struggle was the same w with black Americans

My experience exactly, even down to being a child of African immigrants.

Damn bro I really do hope we as a generation can actually discuss with our kids why sub-cultures on the internet at a young age can really ruin your entire world-view and identity

I get that and he did explain after. I would say tho that it’s a bit naive for people to think this is a race issue, I’ve seen plenty of all white environments where the same can be said

Racism is a system. You can only posess it as much as you can possess the whole system. Hating people on the basis of their skin is makes no sense in the slightest. The people that say racist things and perform racist acts don't have some kind of weird fetish for hating everyone that doesn't happen to be white.

They are using those messages because it makes them feel like what they see as their failures are not relevant.

They need to feel like the big man society told them they deserve to be even if everything in their life shows that they are not. so they attach themselves to racist ideas because they fear that the alternative would be turning on themselves, as they don't realize that theyre being conned yet

As a white dude, was never either. Grew up in Chicago and was always around more Hispanic and black people (Especially Hispanic) than whites anyways so diversity always been natural to me regardless.

Hating on a bunch of poor people because you claim they are just a bunch a racist idiots is a move you are doing for one of two reasons

• You have a horrible history with one these people and this is how you cope with it.

• Youre desperately trying to prove to other people that you are not like these people. You, just like the supposed racist demons you hate are still being conned by rich people, but have replaced your old glory narrative with a new one. It is still a glory narrative and that is why you are still being conned.

So they a bunch of homophobes

Also not all gay people attract a lot f attention, most actually keep it lowkey, just some that are very extra (just like there are some over the top heterosexual look how masculine i am types)

Legit never said all of them do
