The reality is that isnt the america white people know: they dont know about unrestricted police violence because it wasnt directed and them. Its shameful that they only know because its us now.

Unrelated, but my mom had a stroke and she’s been really bitchy towards everyone since and everyone’s been complaining to me but this is how she’s treated me my whole life and so I’m like I don’t see a difference 🤷🏾‍♀️

I’m white and I do know this America…but that’s because I’m a historian. Shit’s been happening for 400+ years.

It’s always been bad it’s just right now the bad things are more blatant, in our faces, and getting news coverage. On an unrelated note Most people don’t even known about Keith Porter jr. a Black who was murdered by a off-duty ICE agent in LA on New Year’s Eve

I agree 💯 but I’ve learned that sometimes some people need plenty of handholding when it comes to this stuff. Source: my best friend and I both have parents who became citizens but he voted the wrong way 😔

I still can’t believe it when I see minorities vote like that. Even fairly recent immigrants end up doing it or support it and that really confuses me.

From what I’ve seen in people I know and from doomscrolling, it could be several sometimes overlapping reasons. - Wanting to assimilate and conform, - trying to avoid being discriminated, - colonial mentality (hating your own ethnic background/skin/accent/appearance), - societal scars from colonization), - privilege in so many forms (looking white-passing, financially comfortable family, toxic masculinity + the patriarchy, luck and access to opportunities and the ignorance it causes)

You shouldn’t, but historical literacy is so uncommon in this country due to the state of education

Kinda crazy to boil this down to voting though, the project of “border security” and such things (including the US in general) has always been white nativist

Ice FORMERLY just assigned court dates and did shit the legal way. It wasnt pretty, but it at least gave immigrants and citizens a chance if a mistake was made. Trump is why they started being the American Gestapo.

Obama is the one who pulled it out of obscurity and gave it a budget. Hell, they had to change the rules for approaching vehicles in 2016 because agents kept throwing themselves in front of moving vehicles to get a legal kill. Shit’s always been awful.

You know how some homeless people tend to break into abandoned houses because its the only place they have to stay warm from the cold? Same concept. The abandoned houses isnt great, but its better than where theyre staying. The foundation of the house is still crumbling.
