I blame the nations that our brothers and sisters come from more than i will Ukraine. The fact of the matter is the Ukraine has a crisis and they are putting Ukranians first any other country would do the same. People should be able to trust their homeland to have their back or have the political flexibility to get the…

Just found an article on CNN with more info: https://www.cnn.com/2022/02/28/europe/students-allege-racism-ukraine-cmd-intl/index.html

I just heard Sara Sidner call this out to Anderson Cooper on CNN around 11:30 am PST. I don’t have the clip, but she stated she’s talked to brown and black people, and they said it was taking them 5 days to cross when it was taking others 2 days. They’re telling her that they came from countries throughout Africa and…

The war started on the 24th. Poland relaxed the rules at the border on the 25th. By the 27th a 115,000 refugees in the country already.

“Most nations are smart enough to give foreign nationals respect during times of crisis in order to garner sympathy.”

“You’re literally suggesting that the African students are somehow not endangered enough to flee a warzone as quickly as the whites. Who gives a fuck if they are in their 20s. Irrelevant.”

Please beware of disinformation. Some is debunked here:

I’m not surprised. Not because I knew there’s racism there, but because this is war, it brings out the worst in people. Fear leads to tribalism, nationalism, and other ugly “isms” everywhere.

Yeah my mind goes straight to the fighting in the former Yugoslavia. To be fair she’s not the only person claiming this will be the first war in Europe since the Second World War. This is mired in lots of issues about “what is Europe”, these jagoffs are just mentioning it because Kamala is black.

Umm, its not only right wingers picking up on those lapses. Sure they highlight & relish in them but Kamala needs to be more tightly scripted. This is ridiculous, even to some of her supporters.

Yeah, I’m sure she gets a lot of unfair criticism, but this is bad. One could be forgiven for forgetting, say, the 1956 Revolution in Hungary, but my mind immediately went to the former Yugoslavia, especially since the U.S. was militarily involved.  She needs to leave those kinds of gaffes where they belong:  with…

I happened on the perfect (for me anyway, YMMV) thing to do by mistake one time. Some idiot did something dumb and I had to slam on the brakes or die. I was rolling my eyes and casting aspersions on their parentage, and then I saw someone who needed to change lanes and no one was letting them. I left them a hole and…

and I bet he thought he looked like John Wick when shooting and not like a scared turtle

He looked like a total badass. The control of his weapon points to adequate training. Glad he’s armed and spraying our highways for justice.

“What’s the point of forced vaccination if it doesn’t do anything besides lessen symptoms and severity.”

I go camping a lot, but I’d never go with a combination of guns, liquor, and too many people I don’t know; too much potential for stupid accidents in the best scenario or a case like this one in the worst.

I mean race aside guns + alcohol is always a dumb idea.

What isn’t what you said? Because from here it looks like you responded to my acknowledgement of unequal justice and description of the official response to this specific white woman with “but a Black woman”.

If you think that the criminal justice standard to which we should aspire is “Black in America”... “idiot” is an insufficiently descriptive conditional epithet.

My reading of GSGregory’s second line includes disproportionately lenient treatment (like polite warnings) of white people as part of the “overall point” I explicitly acknowledged in my reply.
