These people hate black people so much and we aint never did shit to them. People need to start (Redacted) them since they want an enemy so badly. Give them what they want
One thing that’s always confused me about rural Northern racism toward African Americans is that rural people in the North have almost no daily interaction with blacks. They perceive problems that they never encounter in their daily lives, first because the problems do not exist, but more importantly it would have no effect on them if they did.
They're racist precisely because they have almost no daily interaction with blacks (or insert any group tbh). They watch media that amplifies the worst parts of other groups and is either explicitly racist or thinly veils racism on a daily fucking basis. They distill those groups down to the constant barrage of news stories they read or watch because they have no other frame of reference. They also are way less likely to be capable of empathy traveling past their immediate family/group/self.
That's why gay rights have gotten further than other minority rights in the last 10 years imo. The reality is that lots of those pieces of shit have gay family members and their empathy can't travel any further than that.
Cops still be killing black people for no reason (and black people are way more likely to be in prison with harsher sentences for p much everything et al) and gay people get to get married now so that's a pretty big difference imo
I honestly can't think of a single widespread civil rights victory in the United States in the last 10 years for minorities. Unless you count a bunch of useless Instagram posts after George Floyd was murdered. Policing has not changed a single bit in America. It's still way harder to vote if you're black in America (that's gone backwards actually). You're still way more likely to die by the hands of the police or be incarcerated regardless of crime. You're still more likely to be poor. You were way more likely to die from covid. Partial student loan forgiveness disproportionately favored minority borrowers so that's tight, I guess.
They blame minorities & immigrants bc they need someone to take the fall for shitty behavior by the rich and corporations. Also, unhappy people need other people to blame and suffer more to feel better about their lives not being what they want. It's all the blame game. Keeping minorities down gives then the villain they need. Plus makes them feel superior and less likely to blame the rich about being screwed themselves. IE..Politicians always want to punch down.
By the way this is a big reason why Dave Chappelle shits on the LGBTQ+ community so hard. They've made rapid gains that black people have had to die for over generations and he's pretty bitter about it.
The only thing that could have made that hot mic quote by Biden better than putting it as a caption to him eating ice cream wearing sunglasses is if Biden had prefaced it with, “my dad used to say, Joey…”.
Good analysis but they also have a gigantic purposeful blindspot. The Herschel Walker thing is illustrative. "Rich, coastal elites are screwing us. We need a moral warrior that will drain the swamp and return this nation to its Christian roots. I'm voting for savior Trump."
That data is unavailable, but we talked with some white women in Bolingbrook and they assure us it is up.
