American liberals spent YEARS fighting anyone who suggested racism was still alive in america. But how could it be? They elected a half black man as president?

Nevermind the indiscriminate bombings by said psychopath and the first election of trump. During bidens term, racism was dead again! Somehow!

Until those very same liberals used racism to explain kamala harris' rejection by the public. Even to this day they won't attribute racism in explaining ice's actions. In fact most didn't care how many people died at ice's hands until white people got shot in the face.

In summary, americans, and yes american liberals are deeply racist, selfish and uneducated people. Their worldview makes no sense. And they are all unfathomably, profoundly stupid.

The standard line was that racism was a Southern trait, while Northern and Western liberals had somehow expunged themselves of the habit. At the same time, you had liberals from the Carter era onward bemoaning failures within the African American and Latin American communities to integrate properly. It was always the minority's fault for failing to conform. It was never racism among liberals that widened the divide.

Even to this day they won’t attribute racism in explaining ice’s actions. In fact most didn’t care how many people died at ice’s hands until white people got shot in the face.

You can run this all the way back to the LA Riots, easily enough. Nevermind the anti-Muslim racism of the post-9/11 era, the Obama-era backlash to civil rights movements during Occupy and then again during BLM. It's always and forever the minority's fault for objecting to oppression. People of Color are never sufficiently civil. They don't respect the norms. They want special favors. They can't be trusted to argue in good faith. They've got dual loyalties. They're not real Americans.

Even when you have Obama or Harris on the fucking ballot, you need them or their proxies effectively apologizing for their blackness and denouncing anyone of color who doesn't agree with their neoliberal politics.

In summary, americans, and yes american liberals are deeply racist, selfish and uneducated people.

I don't think they're uneducated. All too often, I've seen racism taught - implicitly or explicitly - as justification for the modern social order. They're educated in bigotry. They're trained to think like this.

This is a phenomenal take. I have no notes and agree with that perspective. It is reinforced and baked into educational institutions, on top of implicit education like social control. Fantastic stuff, thank you.

Its funny, if liberals spent half as much energy actually fighting racism rather than the idea it still exists maybe we would actually be getting somewhere
