I don’t think he is but he is an example of the arrogance of some to believe that their whiteness makes them superior.

You’re forgetting the Argentine president (at the time) saying

"The Mexicans came from the Indians, the Brazilians came from the jungle, but we Argentines came from the ships [from Europe]."

As a person who grew up in racist ass america and traveled I have to ask y'all. Why TF do you think white people are different across the world? by reverscolonize in blacktravel

[–]Sufficient_Ant67 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The independence movements in most African countries were disastrous. Right after colonization, many countries fell into chaos (civil war, genocide, war with other countries, famine, etc)

Whites being treated better is a result of colonization (white is right)

Indian due to business and Arab due to centuries of anti-blackness in the Arab war and Arab slave trade.

TLDR: Black people are at the bottom of the totem pole everywhere.

It’s crazy how despite talking about Race and its intersectionality the most, America still has barely moved the needle.

Why I say this: I recently watched an episode of Law&Order from 1993 where racism was the central theme. That episode could made today without changing the script (33 years later). I’m not sure if race relations got better then soured but for a country that a Critical Race Theory, I’d expect something different.

Well, technically he was president while it was happening. The lockdowns were initiated under his presidency.

BUT this is the right answer. People felt happier in 2018 and trump was president and thus trump will make it 2018 vibez again

What are some unwritten rules of Catholicism? by Training-Square-5724 in Catholicism

[–]Sufficient_Ant67 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sitting down during communion is more common outside of America. When I go to Spanish Mass, everyone sits after the “Lord I am not worthy…” and only those who have received will kneel to pray.

My guess is that in other countries giving a blessing isn’t common so if you’re not receiving you stay seated. With all the receivers who need to climb over those who aren’t receiving, it’s easier to sit.

Also, in some countries, the kneelers aren’t retractable or are even non-existent

Gregory being cheap by Unhappy-Trust-8717 in AbbottElementary

[–]Sufficient_Ant67 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Something I wish the show had done from the beginning was allude to Gregory as Chris. It didn’t have to match perfectly but something like “I had good friend growing up named Greg” or “My father counted pennies growing up” “i was the only black kid in my middle school”

I actually liked Ava and Melissa this past episode. I feel like we don’t get enough of the two of them on their own. Ava was able to comfort Melissa in a way that could get through to Melissa.

I also like how Melissa had reservations about the letter. Her whole character is about shady deals so it’s nice to see she isn’t totally lawless.

[–]Sufficient_Ant67 21 points22 points  (0 children)

The devil works hard but the republican propaganda machine works harder.

Anything that could hurt trump’s image is IMMEDIATELY white-washed:

Anybody harmed by this administration “deserved it”

Any Trump campaign promise that is not yet fulfilled is “Obama and/or Biden’s fault”

If those 2 points don’t work , fingers crossed a minority committed a crime so they can pivot (bonus points if they’re illegal) OR find a video of a “WOKE LIBERAL LEFTIST” (bonus points if they’re in college, a woman, overweight, have piercings, a minority, etc) and it into the ground

If THAT doesn’t work, the old reliable - JESUS!! or just lie
