Oh no the US is a shitshow of systemic racism, like super ridiculous on every level. There is such a wild undercurrent, surface levek and then an even weirder like super liminal racism where it just has to be mentioned.
Watch like any late night and they will make a self depricating white person joke, middle aged white guy thing. Just stfu about all of it, address the systemic issues with actual actions and then just you know…live as neighbours as americans.

So the US is a shitshow of systemic racism but you want everyone to stop talking about race? Sounds like a way to never fix the problem.

Yeah I want everyone to stop thinking that making jokes about white people’s potato salad being lacking in flavour and thinking it is 1. Funny and 2. Making any fucking difference other than highlighting differences. Black people can swim and have small dicks, white people can dance. The pop culture racism is boring and part of the problem.

Why are you talking about white people jokes when I’m talking about systemic oppression.

Well for one, america has never shut up about racism and to go with that…things have not got better. It is literally legal to have slaves as long as you incarcerate them first.
Its like these people protesting at the moment, everyone is posting a catching sign. Why the fuck is everyone not just stopping work, just not participating? Because you cant monetise or grow your image that way. Americans want to be seen to care about race, to protest to blah blah blah. But when push comes to shove, ye vote for greed or complacency.
