Agree. They’re just more passive aggressive about it. 

Not sure how Canada got a reputation as a “nice” place with “nice” people.
Canadian history is just racism and genocide. Canadians, by and large, and racist. And our cops are cartoonishly brazenly super-racist.

Does Saira Rao hold to the cast system?
I mean I get from what you are saying that they are both privileged. But that doesn’t mean their take has no meaning. Plenty of white people write similar books. And being privileged yourself doesn’t mean you can’t experience racism or understand the intersection of it and…

It sounds like you’ve refused to even try to learn anything about racism. That sort of arrogance means inevitably acting in disrespectful ways towards people who aren’t white men. Sad that you’re so closed-minded you can’t be bothered to learn any6thing new!

How is that ironic? Rao is from Richmond, Virginia, dickhead.

We provide military aid, sales, or training (sometimes all three) to three quarters of the World’s authoritarian regimes. Our wars and those of our allies have killed around 2 million people since 2001, (some estimates are significantly higher, incorrectly in my view). You should see opinion polls in the Middle East…

They pretty much are the whitest white ppl on the planet. Figuratively and literally.

Yup, and dont forget that the brown refugees get treated like vermin and also called terrorists and rapists, they have to travel by foot across a continent with their children dying in their parents arms, or drowning in a river, only to be coralled into pens.

Right, but 74% is quite a large majority.

Ukraine’s fascists and Nazi collaborators murdered nearly 100,000 Poles during the war, plus thousands of Jews. Ukraine still has monuments to the collaborators, political movements named after them; it’s been a bone of contention between Ukraine and Poland for a long time. That’s much bigger than being forced to wait…

“..this is war, it brings out the worst in people. “

There’s always time for racism. ®

Well, that’s both informative (I had no idea Ukraine was a large study abroad place for people from African nations (or any nations to be fair)), and depressing.

Thats the African reality throughout Europe! That’s the Black reality every where! Sadly, the African countries don’t have the power or influence to help mitigate the kind of shit these students are facing in Ukraine. And until Africa gets it shit together, black folks both in the diaspora and on the continent will…

Ukraine and Slavic nations in general are not great places for black people. Ukraine is indeed in legitimate trouble/need right now, but they are also still extremely racist.

There’s always time for racism.

Take the star. Putin is using the same euphemisms we use to justify our invasions. It is funny in a cynical, I have given up on humanity way. How many millions of lives do we get to destroy before we drop the “leader of the free world” nonsense?  

It’s an opinion I agree with. One that actual leftists also agree with. I’m surprised you’re ungrayed here.

Sigh..I’ll never be liked on this site but here goes:

I don’t see how condemning Russia will bring reparations, black empowerment or an end to white supremacy, which is the only thing blacks in America need to be concerned with. Not our problem, we go enough to deal with. That is part of the problem, we putting on capes for everyone else but ourselves and no one else is…
