I used to believe racism in the United States was overstated.
Sure, it existed. But it’s not something widespread. Common. The claim americans are racists is ridiculous.
Well…I was wrong.
"Zohran Mamdani is a terrorist"
"Mamdani supports ISIS and HAMAS"
"New York City faces sharia law"
"Mamdani wants to MURDER jews"
The amount of shit published about this guy is absolutely insane.
He recently attended the 9/11 memorial ceremony.
At some point, he greeted congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and smiled for 5 seconds.
Immediatly, politicians went wild
Senator Ted Cruz:
Congresswoman Mary Miller :
Speaker Mike Johnson:
Here is the video. You can clearly see that he was stoic. He hugged her. Then he immediatly went back to being stoic.
Dude smiled 5 SECONDS in a 5 hour ceremony and they accuse him of celebrating 9/11
At the same ceremony, JD Vance and Howard Lutnick laughed and joked.
No one cares. They are white.
The US is more racist than I ever imagined.
There are more than a billion racists who love playing their part. You described why it’s happening, yes. That doesn’t mean those effected can just ignore it.
You have a privilege and are waving it in those people who don’t have it faces.
“Just ignore the racism that affects your life everyday!”
Thanks for the advice I guess :(
