And there you have it, you stupid fucking 71 million americans, who ever believed this fuckface promised you about lowering egg prices. When it's never been about that, it has mainly been about fulfilling the crooked policies he wanted to do and is currently doing. Keep eating them high costs, you stupid fucks. And you'll still justify your reasoning for having voted for this guy because it's voter's remorse at this point.
It was never about egg prices for them, either. They just used that as their excuse so they didn't have to publicly admit they just really like bigotry and hate.
Most never want to recognize that they're racist. Most reject the idea that living in a racist society means you will internalize racism.
Those of us that have had to listen to their bullshit at holidays and other family gatherings for 50 years have been kindly letting them know.
It's one of the reasons I'm glad my grandma is dead.
She was a devout catholic for her whole life, even winning awards for her service to the church.
When the pope condemned Trump's border policies in his first term, she had the audacity to say, "The pope needs to mind his own business."
I would have hated to be around her in 2020 onwards. She would have been a Nazi even though my grandfather was Jewish.
Hopefully you realize that “everyone who lives in a racist society internalizes racism” also applies to you as well. No one escapes this.
lol those of us that have done the work can break free. Looks like maybe you still have a ways to go too
The point that they're making is that it's a never-ending process to be aware of and guard against, and those who think that they've accomplished being "not racist" are often people who actively are racist and don't see it. Think the liberal speaking over people about their own wants and needs.
Yes, and I was letting them see that they were doing largely the same thing themselves, by not knowing who they were speaking with or where they are coming from.
No, I recognize that this will be something we all have to deal with for our lifetimes. Frankly the person who they thinks they have resolved this are frequently the most die hard racists you’ll meet. I think that’s why there’s so many racists on Lemmy
One thing to keep in mind is that some of us also grew up poor and with extreme neglect and trauma. I actually feel closer to people of color, and immigrants, than I do with my own white Americans. Marginalized people stick together.
And racism isn’t something that is internalized just by the dominant racial population.
You are proving my assertion that those who think they resolved their racism have not done so they have merely ignored it.
lol and I would suggest you learn about projection my friend. We see what we don’t like about ourselves most in other people. I see more love and hope than I see hate and evil because I work to cultivate both daily.
You suggested you could not be racist because you identify with marginalized peoples but that overlooks the fact that these people would also internalize racism as they live in a racist society so what did you fix?
Im rejecting the notion you have fixed your racism because you literally make a racist claim while doing so.
lol..i didn’t say i couldn’t be racist, i said people that do work can break free. i agree that it can be internalized, as I know all of the traumas laid into us by society, our families, our countries, our socioeconomic standing, etc.
I am a practicing buddhist and long time meditator. I know the difference between the thoughts that arise from my programming and my true self. I am not my body, I am not my mind.
And I disagree that people can break free. You literally used a racist notion, namely that marginalized people cannot be racist as a virtue of their race, to argue that you were not racist because you identify more as that population. Does that mean your work was successful or does it mean you missed this bit of yourself?
I think we can be cognizant of our racism but I don’t think it ever gets resolved. I think you can do work to reduce it but it pops up in places and in ways we do not expect because it is pernicious.
Again, I never said marginalized people can’t be racist. If you think I did, I would suggest again to look internally.
Thank you for the unsolicited advice, I always appreciate people that try to help. I would also point out, that sometimes people’s need to express a point that is important to them, clouds the message that they are trying to express. I don’t see myself as one that needs guidance from others, I have the universe and my self, and the writings of those that came before me to do that.
But, I still love you, because I see myself when I was younger in you. I did the same thing
Jesus you can’t stop talking down to people while attempting to claim a high road you have no right to, can you?
Let’s stop here. You have nothing to offer me and I seem to have nothing to offer you.
Yes, you have things to offer. So far, you are correct in that they don’t seem to be things I need, as you have only expressed things I have already learned, and either accepted, or discarded. Yet, you continue to try to give them to me. I hope you have a good rest of your day!
I was watching some jubilee youtube content (do not recommend) but the number one thing i have to say about conservatives is they suffer from some crazy form of indignation. Like, these were recorded pre-election and one guy was outright furious that kamala was campaigning as if project 2025 was trumps plan. Never mind it's plain to see that would be their plan. Never mind that is exactly what we are seeing today. This same guy, if I stopped him on the street today would be mad about something entirely different and never even take a second to recognize how massively wrong he was. Jus' out there being indignant about some other meaningless gop grievance.
You’re off by about 6 million on the voting number, but I mostly agree with the rest of your point. Only other thing I’d push back on is that statement that this is only Trump’s doing. I believe the Conservative Party has been moving toward this moment for decades, with or without Trump. He’s just a great tool for them.
