Food deserts exists because white ppl didn’t like the idea of brown ppl having the access to the same benefits they receive. American food culture doesn’t exist without brown ppl. A country that thrives on multiculturalism doesn’t exist without a love of food. The problem is racism gets in the way of its true potential

Living in the EU as an American there is a very real sense of superiority that Europeans hold over their american counterparts. Blaming it on bots is disingenuous
- Comment on Denmark wants to ban VPNs to unlock foreign, illegal streams – and experts are worried 1 week ago:
I notice this mainly from western countries. Asians and South Americans seem to recognize they arent immune from corruption and bullshit policy. Yet for some reason their western counterparts like to point the finger at other countries (namely the US) and diminish their VERY real problems. “You Americans elected a facist, what are you doing?!” Yet far right parties have been surging for the past decade in Europe and Australia.
Facism was literally birthed in the west yet they never think it will come back

I have to applaud you on how uncomfortable you just made me using only one word

Comments like OP usually come from Europeans who just want to shit on America. I live abroad in Europe and I can tell you their food has just as much crap in it as ours. Plus fast food is everywhere in the cities. The key difference is access to healthy food and a higher standard of living. No food deserts or high cost of living to make fast food your only real option.
If America didnt like food it wouldn’t have so many different food cultures to begin with

Yes

I’m on the side of who the fuck cares what another country decides to call a sport. It has no effect on you at all. The only ppl who I seem complain about it are Europeans who need a reason to seem superior to American so everyone will forget they’ve been fucking up the world 300 years longer than the US

Well this is s stupid argument. Business teachers could’ve studied economics so running a business is pointless and you have nfl and nba coaches built like a pound cake with multiple championships.

Black men voted 90% for Harris and 87% for Biden in 2020 so miss me with that black men are unreliable voters bull. And that implosion of solidarity was primarily from white women and I can say hearing from women of color, there has NEVER been any solidarity between women. White women like to push that narrative but you never see them pushing to solve problems that are specific to women of color.
You’ll have to be a magician to trick them because like I said, any program that will help someone other than themselves is a no go for white America. This country primarily operates on a “fuck you, got mine” thinking. ANYTHING that may benefit a minority in anyway is a bad thing. Look at Reagan and his welfare queen bullshit or Republican opinions of Obamacare. Would you any faith in a group that voted over 50% for an orange retard TWICE?!

All ill say is have no trust in white ppl pushing polices that don’t openly benefit themselves and themselves only. If you disagree I have 250 years of american history that backs me up. Universal Healthcare, universal childcare, and minimum wage increase will never happen because a LARGE portion of the American population rather live in poverty than give ANYTHING to someone who’s different then them.
If you want class solidarity you’d be better to convince white ppl that helping ppl different from themselves benefits society.
I’ll just end it on this quote,
“If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best colored man, he won’t notice you’re picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he’ll empty his pockets for you.” - Lyndon B. Johnson

Why are you guys always telling this to brown ppl? Brown ppl didnt keep white ppl out of their unions, out of their neighborhoods, or denied them a good education. The main issue with class solidarity is trying to convince white ppl that brown and lgbtq ppl deserve the same standard of living as they do.

Solidarity with who? The part of the country that voted in that facist who dont even recognize reality. I’m not going to feel sorry for a bunch of white folks and latinos who basically voted for him because brown and gay ppl were starting to get treated better. I have no compassion for bigots.
As for democrats and liberal white America they’ve constantly dropped the ball on solidarity with minorities. If its not obvious im a black dude. Black America has had PLENTY of compassion for others yet theres been practically no solidarity in return. I don’t hate everyone else. I just have absolutely zero faith in America doing the right thing. For fuck sake hippies we’re preaching peace, love, fighting for civil rights then moved to the suburbs and voted for Reagan.

Well considering there’s plenty of documentaries, case studies, and articles written about how poisonous social media and algorithms are i dont have much sympathy for those who don’t look into it when we live in an age were information on EVERYTHING EVER WRITTEN DOWN is freely avaliable. Im not going to feel sorry because ppl rather look at cat videos and follow influencers instead of reading an article that tells them without a doubt how fucked up social media is.
It’s no different when ppl complained about tv being and idiot box. Just because YOU will watch the Bachelor or Real Housewives instead of Frontline or 60 minutes doesnt mean the medium makes everyone stupid. At a certain point it becomes YOUR responsibility to be an informed citizen.
