Re: Home of the Brave, Land of the Free™
This classist/fascist/racist grotesque behavior is not limited to any area or city in the United Fascist States of Trump, otherwise known as the Fourth Reich. Of course all the elements of this empathy deficit modus vivendi were present long before Trump, who is merely the true face of mostly bigoted ugly America.
All my life I have been subjected to micro-aggressions by racists. The only reason they have not become dangerous enough to get me hit with trumped up charges against me for the purpose of getting me thrown in jail is because I think ahead and have NEVER bought the BULLSHIT espoused by certain closet bigots here that when you get in trouble, it's your own fault. Yeah, if you are white enough, that's true to a certain extent. But if you aren't, the odds are ALWAYS stacked against you. I have seen white people in Vermont yelling and bad mouthing a police officer at the top of their lungs, with no negative repercussions. In fact, often the cop simply tries to get the person to calm down. The exact reverse is true for minorites. If you begin to argue, they get really hard faced and begin interrupting you and cutting your words off. White people just do not WANT to understand how privileged they are in the Fourth Reich.
Are whites being "astute" in playing the game of feigning innocence? Maybe. Are they secretly glad that continuous emotional harm is visited on minorities so whites can get a leg up on brownie and blackie (while pretending they just want a "fair shake")? Of course.
All this is as old as human nature. But, that does not make it right. For those white bigots here who yawn and said, "Tough luck, pal, that's life.", I wish to remind you that your turn in the barrel is coming. It may not manifest itself as racism, but it will definitly manifest itself as classism. How so? Police States have a pecking order fetish that is aLWAYS working to get greater numbers way down in the pecking order (i.e. move YOU sufficently 'unimportant' whites from your current level of being tolerated to punching bag status) and fewer fine fascist cruelty for profit bastards on the top. YOU will reap what you have sown with your bigotry. Have a nice day.
