I've never seen such profound ignorance expressed about American identity when the whole "American project" from the start had been about white racial superiority not only justifying slavery and the treatment of black people, but of extermination and genocide of native americans, and yet this person has the gall to mention Nazis in the same post when it's well known that one of Hitler's very biggest influences is this racist American project.
A system that we're seemingly unable to recognize was perhaps his greatest influence. Nazi leadership even used language that echoed this in referring to the people east of him in Europe as indians or redskins, and calling it "the wild east." Never mind Hitler's quote “gunned down the millions of Redskins to a few hundred thousand, and now keep the modest remnant under observation in a cage”
They're probably also not aware, until very recent history, there were anti-miscegenation laws, and it was and still continues to be, especially outside of the larger metro areas, taboo among many people to date outside of race, much less marry. And it was progressives that made it more acceptable to date and marry outside of race. checkmate, who again?
Oh, and I suppose all the native americans that are currently been being harassed by ICE when not on reservations, that must be because they look white, right?
But, please, let's hear more from the person who has never been here, much less lived here unlike where I've seen millions of examples of racism right in front of my eyes.
Never mind that when the racist skins harassed and were violent towards various people in downtown, and I have first-hand experience of this, the cops would automatically jump to the side of the racist skins in assuming it's other people's fault for getting a beatdown by only asking for their side of the story. "oh, I guess that will teach him"
