I don’t know about that. I think it’s interesting that your grandparents spent time in a concentration camp because they were Japanese ; or some of your relatives had to undergo forced sterilization because they were Native Americans; or that they weren’t allowed to get married because they were of two different races.

That isn’t in our lifetime.
I am not aware of natives being sterilized but democrats did sterilize black women. Planned parent hood was started in racism.

You funny.
That didn’t happen in our life time AND a shout out to Margret Sanger. [born 1879]
You can’t keep your lines straight.

Huh? I didn’t claim Sanger was in our lifetime. Her legacy is still going
Who do you know who was in a Japanese camp?

While I do think there is some reactionary hate for members of privileged groups, and reactionary and unwelcome protectionism of minority groups (talking about white liberal savior complexes here, not substantive policy); this kind of bad faith comment blaming a group (Democrats) ensures that the divisions that perpetuate them aren’t going anywhere, anytime soon.

I am not blaming them. It’s their strategy and what they do. Democrats are racist.

Yeah, the democrats…
wintermute_oregon@lemm.ee 10 months ago
Yes the democrats. I have no clue what point you are trying to make as usual. Have you ever thought about trying to make a point?
PizzaMane@lemm.ee 10 months ago
You said it’s the democrats that love putting people into groups (based on race). Yet conservatives celebrate the confederacy:

The point of the confederacy was to defend the institution of slavery, which is by definition a form of putting people into groups based on race. It is morally repugnant yet celebrated by conservatives today.

The flag you are showing is about rebellion and anti-authority. It isn’t about racism. That’s the battle flag. It’s not the confederate flag. lol. You’re such a troll
