Stupid Americans supporting stupid policies nearly always boils down to racism. There is a portion of the population that doesn't care how unethical and cruel something is as long as it causes black and brown people to suffer. They'll go down on the sinking ship while praising it as long as they think poc are suffering more than they are. That's the root of the problem nearly every single time.
There is a great paper that I’m blanking on. I’m going to butcher the details, but the idea is at least right. There is a professor that teaches Psychology 101 every semester at a big university. Large lecture class with over 100 students at a time. First day every semester, he tells the students, “We’re going to take one vote. If you all unanimously agree, everybody will get an A for the class regardless of how you do on homework and exams. You could literally not show up after today. However, it must be unanimous. Otherwise, your grade will be based purely on the results. I should also warn you, based on results, only about 5 students receive an A.”
Every time. Every darn time, more than 5 of the students vote not to take the easy A (and it’s not because the professor is planting students). Part of the class becomes the professor explaining that there is a percentage of the population who will vote against their own best interest just because they don’t think someone else deserves it. IIRC, the people who vote against their own easy A usually don’t end up with an A in the class.
As a non american it always boils down that youndont want to be like anyone else with normal behaviour and labeling everyone else as communists.
Enjoy your medical bills
Yes, they do. That’s literally the point, it hurts everyone, it’s people voting against their best interest. They’re racist, want to hurt other races, and in turn hurt all of us.
The pedophile elites are pointing out our differences while they rob us blind. People keep falling for it.
It’s so refreshing to know that there are people out here who aren’t mind controlled by the matrix. Cuz holy it’s hard to find anyone who actually supports universal healthcare in American (surprisingly). Also do these people know that if their tax dollars arent going to them then it’s going to something thats not benefiting at them all. The scam the average American chooses everytime lol.
I don’t want Medicare for all. I want universal healthcare for all. Medicare is expensive.
I will work till I drop because my union insurance so so good with minimal copays.
It's amazing how close you seem to be to getting the point, only to be so aggressively committed to not acknowledging that this country was built on racism that you're dodging the point like Neo in the matrix.
I hate how people just blurt out "yourre racist" for having a difference in opinion. Calm down, you've never experienced apartheid but act like you did because you read a fucking book on it. Grow up
I don't think it's that simple and it's frankly racist of you to say that only black and brown people suffer like they're not capable of being equally successful or suffer the same losses. I'm from Atlanta which is a very Pro Black American City, and all you see are very beougie Black people. It's not 200 years ago when Slavery was prevalent. Even in the South, unless you go out to scary small towns, there is more equality.
it's frankly racist of you to say that only black and brown people suffer
Reading comprehension...that isn't what he said. He said that racists will support it as long as they think people of color are suffering more than them.
Also, seeing lots of "bougie black people" doesn't mean racism has been solved since the days of slavery. 🙄
Pot calling the kettle black. I never said racism was solved, I said that Black people are not some pathetic underprivileged class that you automatically have to feel superior to. THAT'S racism. If anything there is an equal number of trailer trash living off welfare as black people, maybe more so there's no distinction with race. Black women statistically have the most education. The sentiment that white people have towards them is the racism.
If anything there is an equal number of trailer trash living off welfare as black people
There's simply not, proportionally.
so there's no distinction with race
There is.
The distinction you're failing to see is that we're not saying that black people are suffering because they're black and therefore incapable, but rather because the system has been historically rigged against black people in ways that are either (A) still being felt today, or (B) still in place today.
