Idk man, I feel like a lot of us "America bad" people are from Europe and don't support China or Russia either.

I'm Black; what reason I have to think the country that murders my people not only in the streets, but sometimes in their own beds, is a good force on the world? It is a very easy calculus for me:

"ain't no Chinese, Cuban, or Russian that ever hard-r'd me. Plenty of Americans have. Ain't no Chinese, Cuban, or Russian that ever side-eyed me for just walking down the street. Plenty of white Americans have. Ain't no Chinese, Cuban, or Russian that ever held me at gunpoint unjustly, either. More than one sallow American pig has."

If that meterstick was good enough for Muhammad Ali in reference to Vietnam, it's good enough for me in reference to the people the white moderate claims should be my 'enemies'.
